A: around town

[There are always errands to be run and groceries to be picked up, so that's what Canada is up to, stopping at the park for a bit on her way to the grocery store, than easily carrying a few heavy bags back to Mitchell Road. She has a polar bear trailing behind her the whole time, and both of them are prone to being distracted by

B what hiatus

[hwamei]

I'm well! [ Because she clearly needed to know this. ]

Hey, hey, why does Canada celebrate Thanksgiving in October while America celebrates it in December?

<3

[welljustwatchme]

Because my sister's a sillypants.

[She actually pokerfaces her way through that before snorting.] No, I... well, it just happened that way. This works for me and that works for America.

[hwamei]

Hmm... [ She taps her chin. That sounds a little weird! ] but wouldn't it be more convenient if you celebrated it on the same day? That way, you can save money and celebrate it together. As a family!

[welljustwatchme]

[Awkward pause.]

We don't need to celebrate anything together to know we're family. Besides, one year she accidentally showed up just in time for turkey dinner. It made up for all the holidays we don't spend together.

[zombee_slayer]

[And guess who just bumped into her.]

Hey watch where you're going sweetheart.

[welljustwatchme]

Oh my goodness, I'm sorry! Are you alright? Sorry...

[zombee_slayer]

Of course I'm alright! I ain't some pussy that gets hurt from bumping into someone!

[welljustwatchme]

Well... [Hint: she thinks you're rude, but is way too polite to say so much so easily.] Good.

B; action!

[backinblackcity]

Thanksgiving?

[She may live in not!America, but she doesn't have the same holidays.]

[welljustwatchme]

Yeah, it's this... holiday thing. Where you get to be thankful for a good year and having your family and friends around and... stuff.

[backinblackcity]

It sounds like fun. It's next Monday?

[welljustwatchme]

It is! Well, some years it changes, but the second Monday of October is a pretty good average for it, and that's when it was supposed to be the year I'm from, so it works just fine, I'd say.

A: also with groceries

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa is hauling a load of groceries home - she's found a two-wheeled grocery cart somewhere, and is bringing home what seems to be a great deal of food for a family of four. ]

Oh! Canada! [ No, she doesn't sing it. ] Hello, and hello Kumarie!

[welljustwatchme]

Ilsa! [She quickly acquires a broad smile for her friend, while Kumarie moves to sit on her foot.]

Hi, how are you?

[ooeeooahah]

Well enough, and you?

[ She lets her cart rest at her side, ] Getting ready for next week, isn't it?

[welljustwatchme]

Oh, good! I'm good...

And yes, Thanksgiving. [All smiles!] Goodness knows if I celebrate it the same date in the future, but the second Monday of October's served me well a few years now and I quite like it.

[apnea_champ]

Oh yeah, thanksgiving's coming up.

Suppose the town 'would' only celebrate the American version.

[welljustwatchme]

I don't see why it would be sensitive enough to celebrate everyone's holidays, they're only holding us here against our will, after all.

But you'll come over, won't you? [There's a pretty, pretty please tone to that question, by the way.]

[apnea_champ]

Sure. I can make a pie or something.

Uh, you wouldn't mind if I brought Davis along with me, would you? He's my senior officer from the town I'm from and assigned husband here.

[welljustwatchme]

Oh, no, of course not! The more, the merrier. It'll be wonderful.
