The 53rd Song

[tangledintower]

So, I'm a little confused...

What's this Thanksgiving thing? Is it some sort of holiday? What do you do on it?

We never celebrated Thanksgiving in the tower, if it is a holiday. I've never heard of it before...

All I've managed to find out is that it involves a lot of food.

There is a lot of food involved. And I think you should come to my place to celebrate it, tomorrow. Entirely up to you, though.

It's a holiday meant to give thanks for everything we have. [That's the extent of it, Punz.]

I'd love to come to your place tomorrow, Charlie! Thank you, that sounds fun!!

Really? Huh. That sounds sort of fun, actually...can I bring food over?

[charring]

If you want to. Sure. What did you want to bring?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Well...what's the normal Thanksgiving foods? I know somebody said pie is good, so I could do that, but.

[charring]

Pie is good. Pie is fine. I handled a lot of the food already and just have the turkey to roast but that's saved for tomorrow.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I can help, if you want...

[charring]

Thank you, Rapunzel. That would be super. And I'm happy you're coming.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I am too, it'll be fun!

My first Thanksgiving...wow...

[charring]

Can't wait to see you, Punz.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

[Punz...?]

Me neither, it'll be great!

[charring]

[She's cooking while she talks. It's distracting.]

This is really your first Thanksgiving?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it is. I don't know if Mother's ever heard of it, so we never did anything for it in the tower...

[She's missed a lot of holidays.]

[charring]

I'll make sure you have fun, then. I'll get a camera and take a ton of pictures and give you some of them.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow, really?

[She's seen these camera things. She doesn't quiiite understand them, but she likes them.]

That sounds great, Charlie!!

[charring]

I'll even come over and help you with your hair tomorrow. I don't want anyone stepping on it.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Really?

[That is the best. thing. ever. Thank you so much.]

Thank you so so so much, Charlie!!

A day for giving one another thanks. It's different, in different countries.

What version is this one, then?

[triessence.livejournal.com]

I have no idea.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I suppose it doesn't matter, if it's all about giving thanks. It sounds nice...

[triessence.livejournal.com]

In the country I come from, it's supposed to be today.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Oh! Happy Thanksgiving, then!

[triessence.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

You're welcome!

--but it's not as if I celebrate those shitty holidays.

Re: video;

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I've never celebrated it before, so that's okay. I don't think everybody does celebrate it.

[triessence.livejournal.com]

It's a fucking useless holiday.

Re: video;

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Why is it useless?

video;

[triessence.livejournal.com]

Shoving food down one's throat for the sake of 'giving thanks'. Does that make any fucking sense to you?

Re: video;

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I...well, I don't know. It's some sort of tradition for people, right?

video;

[triessence.livejournal.com]

A tradition for little shits.

...Oh...

[wishgrant]

It's a day when you eat lots of yummy food! [ or so he has learned. ]

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

That's all I heard about it, but it sounds fun!!

[wishgrant]

I've heard it is! I like Christmas better though.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Oh, I've heard of Christmas! It was in one of my books, we did it a few times when I was younger, before Mother got sort of sick of doing it.

[wishgrant]

Your mom got sick of it?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Mother said I got to old for it, and that presents were expensive. They were a birthday only thing.

[wishgrant]

Oh...that makes sense. [ since alois and luca couldn't afford presents at all ] Still sad.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I was sad at first too, but...well, I guess it made sense.

...but it doesn't mean we can't celebrate here, right?
