Food and Fun - OPEN Gathering!

[livemoore]

Who: Everyone!
Where: Outside on the grounds, near the gardens
When: Saturday, August 11th
Rating: G! If you take it to an extreme sexy or extreme sad place, please warn in the subject line!
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.

[This festival has been going great so far! Papyrus is just strolling along, gazing over at all of the different stalls. Of course he wants to try a little bit of everything - that’s the entire point of this festival! - but where to start??

He only saw Leslie briefly on the network beforehand, so he knows that she’s very new here to Wonderland still. All the more better to properly introduce himself to her! First impressions are always important!

He gives a huge wave to Leslie as he walks up to her stall.]

WOWIE, THESE WAFFLES LOOK AMAZING!!! ANOTHER FANTASTIC ADDITION TO THE FESTIVAL, I’D SAY!!!

[ladydemocracy]

Hey! I'm guessing you're related to Sans?

[ What are the chances of two skeletons not being related to each other??? ]

And thank you, I love waffles and I think they deserve much more play in restaurants and diners across the world.

[kingtrousele]

[He smiles wide!]

YES, INDEED I AM!!! SANS IS MY VERY LAZY BROTHER. I, ON THE OTHER HAND, AM VERY NOT LAZY!!! THAT’S A GOOD WAY TO TELL US APART.

[He nods in affirmation. Okay, now to try out these waffles. He grabs a plate and starts piling on a couple of waffles!]

WAFFLES ARE INDEED DELICIOUS!! I DON’T HAVE THEM AS OFTEN AS I SHOULD, I GUESS. THEN AGAIN…IT SHOULD BE EASY ENOUGH TO COOK WAFFLES ON YOUR OWN, RIGHT?? HOW HARD CAN IT BE???

[It’ll at least be a good switch up if he feels like he’s starting to get tired of eating his oatmeal with those delicious candy dinosaur eggs in them.]

[ladydemocracy]

They're super easy, just don't fall for that instant Eggo waffle crap. They're junk and should be banned worldwide.

[ She has very passionate viewpoints about waffles, apparently. ]

A waffle isn't hard at all to make! You just need a few basic pantry staples and a great waffle iron.

[kingtrousele]

UGH, AS SOON AS YOU SAID ‘INSTANT’, I ALREADY MADE UP MY MIND. THERE’S SO MUCH PROCESSED STUFF IN THERE! SO MANY INGREDIENTS THAT I CANNOT EVEN PRONOUNCE!!! THAT’S WHY I ALWAYS TRY TO COOK ALL OF MY MEALS. AT LEAST I KNOW WHAT’S GOING INTO IT!!!

[Oh man, okay, what toppings should he go for? He opts to put a scoop of strawberries on top of his waffles along with a generous drizzle of maple syrup. Mmm!]

WOWIE, THERE’S A BONAFIDE PIECE OF COOKWARE THAT MAKES JUST WAFFLES??? INTERESTING!!! MAKING WAFFLES SOUNDS MORE COMPLICATED THAN I FIRST THOUGHT…

[Complicated doesn’t mean impossible, though! He’s still going to have to give using a waffle iron a try!]

[ladydemocracy]

[ This guy has real style and he's clearly good at waffle toppings. ]

It's not that hard! Do you know how to make pancakes?

[kingtrousele]

…YES!! YES, I KNOW HOW TO MAKE PANCAKES!!!

[He has no idea how to make pancakes, but his desire to make a great first impression and make new friends trumps over telling the truth.]

[ladydemocracy]

Oh, well then it's easy! You just take your pancakes mix, throw it in a waffle-iron and boom, waffles!

[kingtrousele]

[He snaps his fingers!]

OHO!!! SO WAFFLES ARE LIKE PANCAKES IN DISGUISE…HOW CUNNING!!

[Now all he needs is a waffle iron! And some pancake mix! And…learn how to make pancakes!!]

I HAVEN’T SEEN YOU AROUND BEFORE!! ARE YOU NEW HERE TO WONDERLAND???

[ladydemocracy]

I'm super new! I think I've been here for two weeks, but I've explored everything I think there is to explore. Except for the basement because we all know those are creepy and dark and there are spider webs everywhere.

[ Her 7th worst nightmare is walking right into one. ]

[kingtrousele]

OHO!! YOU'RE VERY ADVENTUROUS, AREN'T YOU?? SO AM I!! OKAY, SO, WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE PLACE HERE SO FAR???

NYEH HEH!! BASEMENTS AREN'T THAT SCARY ONCE YOU KNOW WHAT'S DOWN THERE!! SURE, THERE MAY BE SOME SPIDERS DOWN THERE TRYING TO SELL YOU THEIR BAKED GOODS, BUT THEY'RE EASY TO AVOID!!!

[Papyrus smiles wide, as if he's confident that what he just said made absolute and total sense.]

[ladydemocracy]

Oh, the attic, hands down - wait what?

[ Rewind. ]

Did you say the spiders sell baked goods?

[kingtrousele]

[Papyrus looks confused!]

WAIT, THE SPIDERS HERE DON’T ALSO SELL BAKED GOODS?? THEY DO IN MY WORLD!!! THEY CAN BE VERY EXPENSIVE AT TIMES, BUT THEIR SPIDER DONUTS AND SPIDER CIDER IS AMAZING!!! THEY REALLY KNOW HOW TO BAKE WHEN THEY SET THEIR MINDS TO IT!!!

[Now he’s really thinking hard about this, tapping a finger to his chin.]

SO, THE SPIDERS HERE DO NOT COOK ANYTHING…HOW TRAGIC…

[ladydemocracy]

I have a follow-up question. Uh...how do spiders lift all the stuff to bake with? Are they teeny-tiny spider-sized baked goods??

[kingtrousele]

[He starts to say something, but immediately backtracks himself to really ponder this question.]

I. GUESS IT COULD GO ONE OF TWO WAYS. THERE COULD BE TEENY TINY BAKING SUPPLIES THAT THEY USE, OR MAYBE THEY ALL WORK AS A TEAM TO HOLD EVERYTHING UP??? THE DONUTS THEY MAKE ARE VERY...NORMAL-SIZED.

[He now can't stop thinking about a cluster of spiders controlling a wooden spoon.]

WOWIE, THIS IS PROVIDING A TERRIFYING MENTAL IMAGE!!! TIME TO CHANGE THE TOPIC!!!!!! SO, UH!! IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE SETTLING INTO WONDERLAND PRETTY WELL, THEN!! HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED ANY OF THE EVENTS SO FAR???

[ladydemocracy]

[ This is not sounding hygienic and it's freaking her out, so!!! Yes, moving on. ]

No, not yet. I don't know whether to be really scared or stay relaxed about it. Everyone's kind of told me a mixed bag of things to expect. From candy that turns us into puppets all the way to murder. So. There's a definite mix of things that could happen, I guess.
