Red Fish Mingle

Who: Red Fish Crew!
Broadcast: None!
Action: Yes!
When: Dinner time!

---

[there is an almost-long-standing tradition in the Skullface Household regarding having a certain dinner on a certain night of the month because certain creepy vampire hunters just kind of miss the food that their moms used to make sometimes. Zhas had been unsuccessful in aquiring the ingredients until very recently--when he figured out that this economy-sized pack of Floot Loop Macaroni was not actually Floot Loop flavored (they're just "loop" shaped, whatever that means...) and that there's a place down on the dusty moon that sells little meat-based sausage things that are basically hotdogs if you squint at them a little.

so one night when everyone's home, the crew gets a text from Zhas saying 'KITCHEN', which is somewhat-helpfully followed up with, 'there is food'.

because guess what losers it's a RED FISH FAMILY DINNER and he secretly likes all of you enough to share.

so sit your ass down around the table and start eating because there is a ton of crappy out-of-the-box macaroni with little meat pieces in it!! there's also bread and bowls and utensils and whatever else other people contribute. tag in with food prep, or showing up, or already eating, or all of those things... threadjacking (and breadjacking) is highly encouraged so do what makes you happy it's freakin' macaroni night.

suck it Blue Fish we can have a nice dinner too (I'm kidding it'll be a mess)]

(A) WAY BEFORE DINNER

[yeah, it would kind of ruin some of the surprise he'd been going for--but Zhas can be found doing things for at least a good-half hour before dinner. he's in front of the stove, wearing a full face of skull makeup and a very serious apron. because he doesn't want to get food on his shirt, duh.]


(B) DURING THE THING

[look, he's participating! sitting at the table, trying to converse with you in sign language about something. he's doing it between shoveling spoonfuls of food in his mouth, but at least you don't have to worry about him talking with his mouth full...

oh, he's asking about birthdays! if you can... gather that from his one-handed signing... or know enough sign to even... that it...]

SHOWING UP

[it's not that he's suspicious, per se, because Zhas busying in the kitchen isn't exactly an unexpected thing... but Coil does kind of seriously hesitate at the door while he decides whether or not to commit to actually entering the eating area. just kind of lingering there--scoping out who's there, peering at the food from a distance, trying to ascertain exactly what kind of dinner awaits him in there.]


EATING!

[okay, okay. he's here. he's a little hunched over his bowl, trying to seem like he's entirely focused on his food... but he's quietly paying attention to the group at large, for once.

between his usual struggles with dinner--feeding bites carefully to the back of his mouth so he can chew them effectively, and washing it down with sips of water--he's stealing glances at the others and watching them interact.

maybe's he's finally resigning himself to the fact that he's living with these people, for better or worse, and should probably pay more attention to them.]

[Nux is eating a lot.

A lot.

Nux is eating like someone that doesn't get fed often enough -- and to be fair, from the look of him, that's probably been true up until the last couple of months. He'll eat his own bowl, and then seconds, and thirds if he's able. He'll eat everyone else's leftovers right off their plates as soon as they seem like they're finished. He might try do so even when they're not finished, so watch your bowls, everyone.]
