smash_logs | An early Thanksgiving tea party! Dainty tea time! (OPEN LOG)

Who: Selene, Weavile (don't worry, Lizzi, you can tag when you're off of hiatus), Zelda, Goombella, any tea lovers willing to join in!
What: Thanksgiving ~tea party~!
Where: The common room
When: November 25th at night

A tea party felt like the right thing to do to kick off a Thanksgiving. Sure, it wasn't food, but it was something involving, well, something you ingested. That counted, right? She decided to have it the day before rather than on the day, for she'd rather spend the next day reading some books that she needed to for when classes started up again. Besides, this would leave room for people who would be gone on Thanksgiving to have the tea party tonight!

Selene set up the common room table, placing down some tea cups with a tea container. She had a little Popples-made tea set, hand-crafted with material on her floating moon island. She couldn't go anywhere without it! It came with numerous cups, so she could have quite a few people here. Just in case, though, she also obtained some cups from the student kitchen. She at least thought she could use them.

She put everything in place, from the tea cups to the little containers of sugar and honey, as well as other such things you would put in tea. She already had a few teas that she both owned and found in the student kitchen brewing, or already brewed in their own tea 'pitchers'.

This was going to be delightful!

Goombella arrived next, her Tattle Log under her arms and a smile on her face. "Good evening!" she said happily.

Wave had seen the invitation left by Selene, and considering she was part of the cheerleading team, Wave figured it would probably be a good idea to build up a friendship with her. After all, they'd be working closely together. So when she arrived, it was a little cautiously, looking around. "Um, got room for one more?" she asked.

Tea parties! Like any good princess, Zelda enjoyed a nice tea party. She was also grateful that Selene had the foresight to schedule it the day before thanksgiving. She certainly wasn't going to miss the little TA get-together.

Spending time with her residents was always welcome as well, and she entered the room with a smile. "Hello, everyone."

"Ah!~ Greetings, everyone," Selene smiled, hoping to give them an overall welcome feeling. "Some of the tea has already been brewed. Hoho, please, take your seats~"

She glanced over at Wave, who seemed a bit hesitant. Why was she? She made an invitation and she was more than free to drink with them! She even allowed those who didn't see the invitation, but just wanted to jump right in.

"Oh, we do, Wave~ You are very welcome to join us."

"I hope I'm not late," Weavile smiled at the girls. He always enjoyed a good tea party even if he preferred iced tea to hot tea.

Noticing the other guests, the counselor started to feel a bit out of place. It seemed he was the only male. How... interesting. Well, at least Zelda was there so he wasn't the only faculty member attending.

"Oh, no, you are not," Selene greeted Weavile with a wave of her dainty hand. She was already getting her own cup of tea poured and ready (with honey, not sugar). She placed it on the table and continued speaking.

"Hello, Mr. Weavile. Would you like to take a seat?" She glanced around at the others. "What flavors of tea shall we be having?" There was a small list of flavors on a paper in the center of the table.

"Thanks," Wave replied, going to find herself a seat. "Um, I'm not a big tea drinker, so... I'm good with whatever?" She wasn't used to tea parties. Not at all.

"Oho, yes, would you terribly mind peach tea?~" Selene asked, holding a tiny container of just that. She loved peach tea, though, so she was admittedly a bit biased in asking, but why not?

"Sounds wonderful!" Goombella replied.

"Well... Is it any good?"

"That does sound delicious," Weavile nodded. "I hope you don't mind my asking, but do you perhaps have some ice cubes?"

Selene let out a 'hm' in thought. "Ah, I believe we have ice in the student kitchen~ I shall go get some," but before she did, she poured Goombella, Wave, and Weavile cups of peach tea. "I assure you, it is very good, haha~"

She then went off, and just a minute or two later, she was back with a small zipper bag with about 5 ice cubes. "Here you are, Mr. Weavile," she offered with a smile.

Weavile smiled, "Ah, thanks. Sorry to have bothered you." Opening the bag, he gently dropped some of the ice cubes into his tea. He blew on the drink before taking a sip. "It's very good."

"It is quite alright," Selene nodded with a gentle expression on her features. "I am glad that you enjoy the tea~"

She looked towards the others, curious as to what they think of the tea. "How do you all like it?"

"Hm, not bad," Wave said. "A little sweet, but tasty."

"It's really good!" Goombella announced. "Do you have any cookies or anything to go with it?" she asked hopefully.

"Ah, hm," Selene brought a finger to her lips. Did they have any cookies in the student kitchen? She knew that she herself didn't have any at all. "Give me just another minute~"

She left for the kitchen and remained there for a few minutes as she rummaged through the fridge and pantry. Eventually, she wound up finding a tiny plastic box of chocolate chip cookies in the pantry. They weren't good tea cookies, but they were cookies at all, so it'd have to do for now.

She re-emerged, placing the bowl down on the center of the table. "These are all I could find. Do you not mind chocolate chip?" She laughed a little, embarrassed that she couldn't get much else.

Selene. Selene, how did you know that cookies were Weavile's one true weakness? He carefully eyed the bowl of cookies, attempting to steel his will against them. Well, maybe one or two wouldn't hurt.

"Wonderful!" she said, taking a cookie and munching it. When she saw Weavile eyeing the bowl, she picked one up and offered it to him. "Would you like one?"

Great, now someone was offering Weavile a cookie. Far be it for him to be rude and decline. "Ah, yes." He accepted the cookie and took a bite, "Thank you." Although they weren't high quality or home made, the cookies were still quite tasty.

Zelda accepted her tea and smiled demurely before taking a sip. It certainly was an interesting group assembled, but not a bad one by any means. Cookies were also always welcome, and she may have snuck one when nobody was looking.

"So." She began, starting to make conversation. "What are everyone's plans for the holiday?"

Wave shrugged. "Just planning on a dinner with my friends. Should be fun. Though I'm a little disappointed I won't get to see my family for it."

"Nothing much," Weavile shook his head. "I plan to spend a quiet and relaxing evening at home. To be honest, I never really celebrated the holiday before, so starting now would feel a little weird."

Selene, although she didn't want to speak it ~~for once~~, sympathized with Wave on the family front. She didn't have much contact with her father anymore, and the only contact she had with her mother was when she sent her money and when she had time from her homework to talk to her on those newfangled phone devices. She was glad she was able to, since her mother now lived in an area where phones existed, but still. She wished she could see them in person, though.

"Ah, I believe I shall follow in Mr. Weavile's footsteps. I do not think I will celebrate much further than this tea party, for I feel it is quite enough to keep me happy," She smiled.

~~She also didn't want to pig out and get fat or something.~~

"I always miss my family during the holidays." Well, Impa and her father, mostly, even if her father was usually scarce and busy and...well. It was good seeing him, at any rate.

"Your holidays, anyway." Hyrule didn't celebrate Christmas. They had their own customs, and when Zelda had arrived at Smash Academy as a freshman, she'd been completely taken aback by the celebration. Even if it held no meaning for her, she did enjoy it, in a sense. "Winter break is just the most convenient time to return to Hyrule."

Goombella smiled broadly. "I'm going to take my boyfriend home to meet my parents!" she announced happily.
