double dating } closed
Who: Claire & Jamie Fraser, Bree Randall, Steve Rogers, Juliet O'Hara
Where: The Fraser Residence
When: 4-5
Rating: D for dinner party??? It shouldn't get that crazy.
Summary: Jamie and Claire host a dinner date.
The Story:
When Juliet and Steve arrive, they'll be ushered into Jamie and Claire's room that magically looks as close to Lallybroch (minus the second story) as she and Jamie could get it. There's electricity of course, but they rarely use it save in the bathroom and in Brianna's connected room. Introductions are made before Claire leads everyone to the dining room.
She doesn't cook, not well save for a few things, so the supper this evening - pot roast with potatoes and carrots, dinner rolls, a salad and good wine (and whisky) - is all Wonderland provided but homey and comforting.
After supper is done, Claire serves dessert in the parlor (a pound cake with light lemon frosting and coffee or tea--or more whisky) and they mingle and talk, sometimes as a group, and sometimes in smaller one-on-one conversations.
[ ooc: instead of all of us going one at a time, set up your own top levels at will and tag around! ]

"I think so. I mean, my time is easier but...it takes so much to travel from Scotland to American in the 18th century. Unless they make me go back for some reason, I plan on staying. I missed my mother too much, anyway."
no subject
She offers a soft smile. Being across the country from her family had been hard enough, but even that didn't hold a candle to being completely cut off from them in Wonderland. Juliet isn't sure she wouldn't give up all the creatures comforts of the modern world if it meant being near her family, either.
"I'd miss my mom, too. We have always been really close."
no subject
Bree thinks about it for a second, trying to put it into words.
"I'm meeting so many great people here and I don't want to ever forget they could just be gone one day."
no subject
"I think that's the best we can do," she agrees, turning her attention back to Bree. "It's a weird feeling. I want to go home so badly, but at the same time, I'm really learning to enjoy being here. And it's the people I've met, and the friends I've made, that make it worthwhile. I don't want to take that for granted, either."
no subject
"Maybe knowing it happens is enough for now. I'm trying to tell myself that, anyway. There are perks, I guess, to being behind my parents in our own weird timeline."
no subject
Juliet isn't sure what they have ahead of them to deal with, nor does she bring up her conversation with Claire that changing the future is a lesson in futility. It doesn't seem worth it to dash any hopes Bree might have to help her parents through anything.
Instead, she moves the conversation to Jamie.
"You didn't know your father beforehand?"
no subject
Bree can hardly wrap her mind around it, so if Juliet needs a moment, she'll understand.
no subject
"That must have been a really difficult thing for you to come to terms with." Although, she is a little jealous at the thought of having two fathers. She barely had one.
no subject
For the most part. It still hasn't been easy.
"Okay enough for dinner parties, I guess," she says with a small smile.
no subject
She grows quiet for a moment, glancing down at her lap. Her anger at her own father defined her more than she would ever want to admit. With that came some good, but also struggle. The anger she still harbors is something she does her best not to think about.
"But family is so important," she adds, trying to lift the mood a little. "And you have yours, here. It has to be nice, to have the opportunity to fix things."
no subject
The only reason she started to believe it was because she'd watched a woman literally fling herself at a stone and then disappear into it. That changed things.
"And now I'm here where things I never even dreamed could exist, definitely do. My perspective on 'impossible' and 'unbelievable' has shifted," she smirks. To say the least.
no subject
At least, she'd been led to believe. Gren ended up bringing an end to that.
"But being in this place will change anyone's perspective. I mean, I'm sitting in a room filled with people who have time traveled, in one way or another. And I'm sure I'll never see any of that when I go back home. It's a shame we won't remember any of this."
no subject
Randall arriving here over Christmas had been--to date--the worst thing Brianna's ever been through. She still has the scars on her back to match Jamie's, and her thumb presses to the palm of her hand where Randall stabbed her, to give her yet another mark just like Jamie's.
"But this? Meeting you and Steve and all the other people who've been so incredible? I really hate that I'm going to lose this one day."
