Entry tags:
interfaith dinner mingle!!
Who: Interfaith Center regulars & the not-so-regulars (party crashers are welcome too!!)
Broadcast: Nope
Action: Interfaith Center on the Iskaulit
When: Forward-dated to November 4th
[The Interfaith Center sounds far more bustling and busy than usual - and anyone peering inside would quickly figure out that a communal dinner is underway! Take off your shoes and walk in: the lounge has extra tablecloths on the floor as well as buffet tables with non-alcoholic beverages and all sorts of food, including Jordanian cuisine (or the outer space equivalent of Jordanian food).
The board games are out of their hiding nooks; the furniture's arranged for the maximum seating possible; and even the teddy bears donated by Kitty & Winn are out for cuddling, should anyone want them.
The kitchen's bustling with helpers - Stefan's running around at vamp-speed to make sure everything's a) done on time and b) cooked to perfection - but he sure wouldn't mind an extra hand. And if you're still not up for some food? Well, the prayer rooms are open as usual. There's always a quiet moment to be found, even if the laughter's louder and the scent of freshly-baked mansaf's wafting through the long corridors.
Anyone and everyone who's ever been inside the Interfaith Center has been invited (via text message - and Stefan even used the fancy emoji). If you're not particularly faithful or devout? Well, drop by anyways. There's more than enough food to spare.]

Stefan Salvatore-Alesci | ota
If he's not checking on the food, he's out in the lounge, refilling non-alcoholic drinks or checking the atmosphere of the crowd - and right before the meal? Right before everyone sits together?
He'll take center stage and lead everyone in a short prayer to bless the food. He doesn't look at anyone during the prayer - he still can't, when eyes are on him - and yet? He finally feels like he's home.]

It was kind of you to do this, Stefan. Thank you for the invitation.

So that's why he'll find Stefan in the kitchen after he's mingled for a bit.]
Hey, do you need a hand back here? I'm not an amazing chef, but I work at the Space Bar in their kitchen if you need some help.

she strides in and helps herself to a forkful of mansaf, humming her enjoyment as she walks past the table -- the spices are a rare delight in the fleet, and rarer still in her life back home. but she's had the occasion, now and then, to venture beyond western europe and america. these flavours remind her of old jobs, of early days, and of adrenaline.
peggy stops within feet of stefan. ] Well, look at all you've brought together. You must be feeling proud.
sorry for the late!
it's all good!

Eithan Paine | ota
He's not very religious, actually, even back home. Hell, and it's not like anyone here (that he knows of) has even heard of his goddesses. But after having a deep and interesting conversation over the network a while back, and because he's becoming pretty good friends with Stefan (not to mention they've been playing ridiculous phone tag since they entered this system, oops) he figured he might as well show up to this thing. So, sure, he might feel a tiny bit like an interloper... but that's why he's helping out wherever Stefan says he might need a hand with something! Because that totally gives him more of an excuse to be there. ... Or something like that. Sure.
When he isn't helping Stefan, he's spending his time in the lounge, talking to anyone about any given topic - spiritual/faith-y, or not. He's genuinely curious about all the different religions, and he might ask questions if it seems like someone wouldn't mind them. Hell, he'll talk about his own faith, if it comes up at all.
He's silent and respectful during the prayer, and though the food is like nothing he's really seen before, it doesn't stop him from digging in. In his opinion? It always pays to be adventurous with food~ ]

Kirito | ota
When he isn't in the kitchen, he's mostly mingling, saying hi to people here and there and attempting to be halfway social. He's a bit of an adventurer with food, especially snacks, so he'll happily munch on just about everything that's available.]

[Stefan holds out a bottle of soy sauce as if it's the most valuable thing in the entire room. To be fair, everything and everyone in here is valuable, but!! It's the principle of the matter here.]
I think we can finally make some of your favorites too.

Mikleo | ota
He can still be kind of low on energy long-term, and there's a lot of food in the area which still bothers him a great deal, so he doesn't wander too close, opting instead to hang out by the seraphim shrine, sitting on a cushion and leaning against it to people-watch. He takes up some of the reading materials available, flipping through curiously, occasionally taking notes. He's not looking for religion but that doesn't mean he can't learn from their teachings. Is he seriously just sitting in a corner reading during a social event?
Yeah, he's kind of crap at parties. He might pop into Sorey here and there if he feels like bothering his vessel, so if you see a weird light poofing in and out of someone, don't concern yourself with that. Unless he interrupts the conversation. He might do that a bit.
He's also curious about some of the board games, since they didn't have much of those back in Elysia, so he's poking at a few of the more puzzle-esque ones, flipping through instruction booklets and moving the pieces about when no one else is using them. For those who can't see seraphim, it might be surprising to see chess pieces mysteriously sliding across the board on their own... care to play a game against an invisible man?]
( as usual, resonance permissions! )
dumb question but would Leliana know that the dragon was him?? gonna assume no for now
Care to play a game?
not dumb at all! not sure either tbh, it wasn't really broadcast but sorey was honest if it came up

Maglor | ota
He mingles a little but mostly stays shyly on the sidelines, people watching. The abundance of foods is very interesting to him, especially since he doesn't recognise a lot, so he can also be found sampling the various dishes in delight.
He's also just interested in general - Mannish religion has changed much from his day, and he wonders what things have carried through ]
<3
It makes him happy to watch Maglor try various dishes happily, he's glad that his grandson can find even some small thing to make him smile.]
Here, you should try this. I'm not sure what it's called but it has a little spice to it. [He offered, holding up his plate for Maglor to take what he wanted.]
<3!
so much love <3

Should anyone wish to have a conversation with her or say hello they are more than welcome to do so.]
kitchen!
Hey! Thanks again so much for helping out. [He hands over some vegetables, gesturing towards a nearby cutting board and set of knives.] Could you chop these?
I think after we stir-fry 'em, we should be good to go.

Allen Walker | OTA
So the Exorcist can usually be found with a plate of food, happily enjoying himself to the delicious food. When it comes to the socializing aspect, however, he seems to be sticking to the walls and far corner spots. He'll be friendly enough to talk to whoever approaches him, and he even seems to be listening to any group discussions going on- just you know, it's a little awkward to know how to talk religion when you're in his shoes, okay. ]
no subject
Maglor remembers this young man who was so concerned that he came to no harm (a young man with old eyes, but there are so many of those here on the fleet, it makes him a little sad). But he also notes that Allen seems quite familiar with the foods - many of which are quite exotic and strange for Maglor ]
Your pardon, but are you familiar with these foods? [ Plz tell him which ones he should be sampling ]

Caster | OTA
But in the kitchen, she finally has had enough and takes a station to start cooking. A god catering to a party like this? It's almost funny. But she learned cooking from Ame-no-Uzume herself, and so the food she is quietly making for the party is absolutely, absurdly good. It's all Japanese-style, of course- Were the ingredients for that even there before she got to her station? It's hard to say- but the smells are delicious enough to draw attention.
When prayers start, though, she escapes to hide in one of the prayer rooms, only returning once she's sure the eating has started... But whether you catch her hiding in one of the prayer rooms, or returning to the lounge, her absence might be conspicuous enough to be worth asking about.
Other than that, she seems rather content to wander around behind the scenes, simply eavesdropping on anyone who seems interesting.]
Shirley | OTA
Once that's done, she's in the lounge for most of the evening and as dinner goes on she starts to check out the board games. Most of them are unfamiliar to her, which isn't surprising. But at the moment she is toying with the teddy bear and reading the instructions of one particular game called Colonists of Sabaan...]
no subject
Once it appears that Shirley is done, Misty speaks.]
I hope I'm not interrupting anything, but... I don't believe we've ever been introduced. [She sticks out a hand.] I'm Misty!

Anders | ota
But here he now was.
At first, he sort of shuffles awkwardly around the edges of the lounge and pokes his head into the kitchen before deciding staying out of the way was likely the best contribution he could make to that. Parties were not his thing, he never knew what to do with himself. This one especially.
But, eventually, he found a place he could be. With a slightly apologetic smile to Hawke, Anders ducks into a prayer room, knowing full well his lover wouldn't follow him. Honestly, that was fine, he needed this moment alone. Hawke was nothing but supportive, but he couldn't understand how Anders' faith could still be so important to him after everything.
Anders knelt on the floor and bowed his head, at first just attempting to empty his mind of all the thoughts and guilt and doubt that plagued it whenever he tried to pray. He didn't deserve to pray to Andraste. Was there even a point to it way out here? Leliana believed there was and Anders wanted to believe too. If she did hear, would she even care to listen to the man who blew up a Chantry? She shouldn't, but that sentiment alone was selfish and wrong. He shouldn't decide what the Maker's bride ought or ought not do.
He shouldn't be here, he didn't deserve to try and pray. But Justice wasn't here anymore to tell him other things he could be doing instead or to hammer that guilt home. It was just Anders and his too-quiet mind. Maybe now was the time to start making amends to the Maker.]
Blessed are they who stand before
The corrupt and the wicked and do not falter.
Blessed are the peacekeepers, the champions of the just.
Blessed are the righteous, the lights in the shadow.
In their blood the Maker's will is written...
prayer room
Sorey tries not to pry and leaves Anders alone, though he does catch himself staring once in a while. And when Anders disappears into the prayer room and those conflicted feelings swell and die back down, over and over, Sorey just can't help himself. It just feels too similar to his own heart that he feels compelled at least see if he's alright.
Sorey slips into the room, taking up a spot in front of the seraphim shrine he'd constructed ages ago, lighting the candle and clapping his own hands together. His eyes slide shut as he listens to Anders pray, and he waits until it seems like he's finished to try and talk to him.]

Vash the Stampede | OTA
Yahtzee! Haha! Come on, want to join in?
[Although he doesn't spend the whole time playing different games. Vash is not a man who had chosen a religion to follow. Preferring to keep his mind open to all options. He does love learning of them and how to be respectful to whatever religion someone may follow. He especially loves any religion that spreads messages of peace and acceptance.
He'll try not to be caught staring, but he may not be able to help himself. Quietly watching some people in prayer or checking out any religious text that may be out. If someone is nearby and looks open to talking about their religion Vash will be excited to ask questions.]
