interfaith dinner mingle!!

[stefanged]

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.]

[ a crinkle of her nose. ]

Poor bastards. [ and that was her cue to shovel another forkful of food into her face. peggy works through it as much grace as she ever does. ] Sounds downright Shakespearean.

[ you know. the foreshadowing. ]

[stefanged]

I think that's the point. To take some perfectly innocent footage of a meerkat colony and dramatize it to the point of no recognition. [beat] Or Hamlet.

[Now there's a thought: Hamlet as performed by a bunch of wild animals. Sell that to a future audience, Atroma.]

[mucked]

[ good god, that sounds horrid. but she smiles all the same. there's something bizarrely entertaining about the thought of meerkat colonies reaching such dramatic lengths. ]

I take it all back. I used to say we must make for an awfully dull programme, but perhaps if our competition is the likes of that? We must be very entertaining indeed.

[stefanged]

That is very much our competition. I'm afraid to say, American programming gets so bad once TV's invented.

[He pauses, taking a moment to hold up a finger and amend - ]

British TV, at least, knows when to let a good thing go.

[mucked]

I'm proud to hear it. [ peggy smiles -- it's genuine enough. but she blanches a little at the next thought: ] I'd better go and do my requisite amount of mingling. I'll grab you again before I leave to claim that food you promised. Don't let me leave without it.

[stefanged]

Of course not. I'll make sure to have it all ready by then.

[He grins, making a shooing gesture as he reaches for a couple of takeaway containers and starts ladling food into it. Whenever she's ready, it'll be there - and he left extra for her security officer, as thanks for supporting him all this time.]
