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.

[She makes a thoughtful hmmm'ing noise.]

I believe I can do all of that. When would you like to have your fair?

[ladydemocracy]

[ Let her just look on her calendar here and...hmmm. ]

Usually, it's at the end of harvest season, but since no one's harvesting anything here I think we can do it a little earlier. What about the 22nd and 23rd of September? Do you think that would be okay?

[ Leslie has no idea at all how this is going to happen, how this person can provide so much. ]

Are you in charge here or something? I mean, this offer is incredible, and of course, I'll take care of food and medical and anything else. But you helping like this is huge, I can't thank you enough.

[alltheways]

I see no reason for those dates to be a problem.

[She smiles, and it's both an amused and affectionate expression.]

I am the Red Queen. This is my realm. You are my guest here, and I wish to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

[ladydemocracy]

[ Leslie's eyes immediately widen and her spine straightens so that she's sitting at full attention. ]

Ohmygosh.

[ What should she say??? What's appropriate to say? What...ohhhhh no, she's freezing. She has to say something. And she has to keep it professional because she's getting all of the things she wanted! ]

Your Majesty, thank you for everything you've agreed to do. And I wanted to say that if you're aware of all the ideas I have for other things like a bowling alley, a welcome committee, a spa, and quite possibly a mobile dessert waffle cart, I am in no way trying to take over or lead. I hope that's all okay. And if it's not, I'm open to feedback and criticism because this is your realm and you're the queen, and you should get a final say.

[ Leslie remembers to breathe, swallowing hard and really hoping she hasn't been offensive. ]

[alltheways]

[The Red Queen smiles affectionately.]

Please, proceed. Your plans sound lovely, my dear.

[ladydemocracy]

I know you can't control all the things that happen to us. [ She assumes...? ] And I know it must be kind of crappy dealing with people who question your every move, so this is my way of giving back! With your help, of course, for this one.

[ Is that rude of her? Hopefully not. ]

If I can help people feel better about being here, even a little bit, then I'll keep coming up with a hundred ideas a day.

[alltheways]

A hundred a day?

[The Red Queen chuckles.]

Somehow, I don't doubt that you're capable of that.

[ladydemocracy]

[ For the first time, someone questioning Leslie's commitment doesn't sound like disbelief, and Leslie grins. ]

Thank you, so much. For your help and for your support. Is there anything I can do for you?

[alltheways]

Simply do your best, my dear. That is all a person can really do. What comes of it is a tribute to your efforts.

[ladydemocracy]

Thank you. Thank you so, so much. And for what it's worth, I think you're amazing and beautiful and smart and kind.

[ That is a ramble because Leslie gets that way in the presence of powerful women which is some odd sign of respect. ]

[alltheways]

You're very kind yourself, to say so. I wish you luck with your endeavors and will strive to assist.
