[OPEN THREAD!] HAPPY THANKSGIVING GUYS!

Characters: EVERYONE!
Setting: All over the mansion!
Content: It's Thanksgiving for all you American folks, so let's celebrate and be thankful!
Status: It's the US OPEN! WHOOO!


It's thanksgiving weekend. Anyone who hasn't gone home to their family is milling about. The faculty has sprung for an enormous bird and all the fixings, with some student volunteers to help out with preparations. Dinner is around 6ish, possibly later.

Post here with any and all Thanksgiving related activities you desire. Tell people who you're thankful for, gorge yourself of foodstuffs, get excessive with your shopping, do the hokey pokey with a native american headdress. Just have fun! Logan, like me, is probably somewhere grousing about how Thanksgiving was back in October, but (like me) he's not going to complain about a turkey dinner do-over!

[Laura turns her faint smile to the crowd of kids, who are hollering at Josh that they can and they will! Some are even claiming theirs are already better. The uprising against her turkey is entertaining, and she peeks up, sidelong at Josh, feeling that same warmth when his eyes meet hers. If this is what having a real friend feels like, she would like to keep feeling it. She is having fun.]

[Josh and Laura have a very brief moment where they glance at each and laugh, and then their attention is turned back to the kids. Josh is having a heated argument now with one of the kids. The younger child is telling Josh that his turkey, which Laura is still holding, is ugly, and Josh is trying to defend his honor, in true litte-kid fashion: by having a "Nuh-uh!" "Uh-HUH!" fight. Josh is pretty thankful for the distraction.]

[Laura watches this exchange curiously, her head tilting to the side. It's strange, but she likes it. It is... playful. She watches Josh's expression, how it contorts and mimics the child's smaller expression. She leans in towards Josh, leans forward towards the child to interrupt.]

I like both turkeys.

Aw, see, now there's a solution. I think this might be why girls are better baby-sitters than boys. [Josh says this to the kid, and frowns. Because when Laura turned her back to look at some other kids' drawings, the one he was fighting with stuck his tongue out at him.]
