Summary: Liv and Papyrus host Wonderland's Inagural Inter-planetary Fod Festival!
The Story:

The stage has been set for everyone to have food from all over time and space, and Liv is possibly a little more excited about this than she should be. Her message with Papyrus didn't seem to drum up a ton of interest when they made their announcement, but she's hoping like hell this actually goes somewhere.

There's a table with Sharpie pens and little cards to write the name of the dish, main ingredients, and where it came from (plus the bringer's dish if they want) and three huge coolers filled with ice and various drinks like bottled water, juice boxes, soda, and beer for the adults (that one's labeled on top). Cutlury, napkins, and cups are taken care of! There's also music playing, the equivalent to what might as well be a random Pandora station not set on one specific genre of music. It easily goes from an Adele song to the Spice Girls and back around to something by Adam Lavine.

All that's really left, is for Liv to sit back and enjoy the day.

[ jesse is silent as he watches her try to choke down the pot roast. at least she's kinder than dany was, who just came right out and told tulip how disgusting it was. then again, dany was the kind of woman who simply had no time for tact.

he holds out the unopened beer to her that he'd grabbed from the cooler before he'd made his way back here. little something to wash it down, maybe? ]

I got much better ways of letting people know if I don't like 'em than feeding 'em a roast. [ he offers his free hand ] Jesse Custer.

Julia Shumway.

[ She gladly takes his hand, and then the drink because, good Lord, she needs something to wash that atrocity down with. ]

You're one of the new ones, right?

One of the new ones, yeah. Been about a week, I guess. [ jesse grabs a fork and knife and cuts a small piece off the pot roast for himself ] You make it sound like it's a regular thing, people showin up here.

It seems to be at least one or two every week. Sometimes we get influxes, sometimes we don't. It depends but on what, I have no idea. [ She watches him cut his own piece, amazed that he's opting into that monstrosity knowing what it is. ] Is anyone else from your world here?

So it sounds like there's not really a whole lot of rhyme or reason to people showin up here. What about people leavin?

[ he's just consumed some pretty questionable things over the years. it helps the whole thing that this is something tulip used to make.

he shoves the piece of meat in his mouth then shakes his head ] Far as I can tell, it's just me here.

Just as random, as far as I can tell. Sometimes people leave soon after they get here, and sometimes they're here for years. Sometimes whole clusters of people from the same world will just be gone overnight, but that isn't always the case.

[ She shrugs a little, as if apologizing for not really being able to offer him much of an answer to any of his questions. ]

I was the only one when I got here, too, but my boyfriend showed up about a month later. You might not be alone for long.

[ he's getting to the point where he's expecting less and less for there to be any sort of solid answers. ask enough questions though and maybe there might eventually be something, right? ]

Guess someone's gotta be the first, right? Honestly, I'm a little torn about whether I'd wanna see Tulip here, or if I'd prefer she just stay where she is. Though at least if she was here, well, then we'd both be here. [ and he'd know she's okay. that's the important part. he shakes his head ] Don't matter what I want though since none of us got any say in any of this shit.

[ Julia's past the point of thinking Wonderland will offer them anything useful, but that doesn't mean she is going to give up trying to get answers, either. ]

That's the worst of it. I'm torn about whether or not I'd want some people from home... Barbie certainly would, but he has his heart set on finding a way for us to stay here indefinitely. I'm not as optimistic. [ His determination to keep them both safe and away from the perils of home is endearing, but it frustrates Julia sometimes because it's not at all realistic. ] Is Tulip your... wife? Girlfriend?

[ it's not worth it to give up entirely. besides, maybe wonderland will surprise them one day with an answer or two! ]

Well if that's what he wants, and it's what you want, good luck figuring out how to make that happen, I guess. If he manages to figure out how to stay, maybe that means the rest of us could figure out how to go. [ doesn't seem likely though. not by the way he's been hearing it ] Tulip? She's my girlfriend.

[ Julia doesn't give a response besides shrugging. There isn't really much to say. Both her and Barbie are torn over whether or not Wonderland is better than home (depends on the day, and Wonderland wins outside of any events), but Julia isn't in as much of a rush to run from her problems at home, big as they might be. Barbie, on the other hand, is all too used to running. ]

I totally understand why you'd be torn about her coming here. It's a catch-22, huh? We don't want to be away from the people we love, but I'm not sure we want to subject them to this, either.

[ there's certainly something they can agree on. jesse isn't in any rush to run away from his problems at home either. especially since many of them are problems of his own making ]

Yeah, that's the problem. [ part of it, at least ] And not knowing exactly what this place is capable of. Not that I don't think Tulip couldn't handle herself here or anything. She's the most capable woman I've ever met. But it just doesn't feel right wanting to see her end up here just because I'm here.

Well, if she does end up here, make sure to introduce us. She sounds like someone I'd like to meet.

[ Julia's a capable woman herself, and can take on a lot more than it looks like she can. Plenty has happened in Wonderland to show her what she's capable of, whether she likes it or not. ]

There's nothing wrong with wishing for it, though, since we don't have any control over it, anyway. Even if she does end up here, you'll never have to feel guilty as if it was somehow you're fault. And in my case, at least with Barbie? I know he's better off here and I don't have any guilt over being selfish for that.
