Hot Potato (party log)

Who: Chloe Frazer & any and all party people!!
What: Harvest Celebrations/Halloween Party/Ruby’s Birthday/Rat Marriage/Big Communal Cooking Party so Chloe doesn't burn down her house
When: October 12
Where: At Chloe’s house on Greene Street

Content Warnings: Food descriptions, probably.
Other Notes: Feel free to make this a mingle and reply to other characters!

Chloe had wondered whether to go through with the harvest party once Lalo had disappeared, but as they say, the show must go on. There's still a lot worth celebrating, and people need something hopeful after the mess last month. Luckily her house had made it through everything all right.

The poster had said to wear a costume, so she's hoping to see a lot of those, and she’d recruited some people to help her put together the menu exactly to Lalo’s specifications, so unfortunately no one is safe from British Potatoes. There are even candles for the birthday cake.

Chloe herself is dressed as a sexy lumberjack, with one of Lalo’s old flannels tied in a knot under her breasts and denim cutoffs made from the jeans Kostya had gotten blood on (shh). She's got a fire roaring, because otherwise she’d freeze.

[ Levi nods, his eyes lingering on her eyepatch for a moment. (He doesn't yet know he will have a similar injury back home, in the future.) That makes sense; with her field of vision already reduced, it makes little sense to narrow it down further by wearing something on her face. ]

That's useful. [ They don't really have guide dogs, at least not specially trained ones, though he probably knows of some older or disabled folk who had managed to teach their animals to help with certain tasks. ] As long as she's not the one placing those obstacles there to begin with.

[ Because it certainly looks like she did so for him just now! ]

Yes, it appears that my dog is running some sort of scheme.

[Randvi looks down at Ulfrùn in mock disapproval.]

She was succeeding with me because I couldn't see her doing it, but I have seen her now swindling others.

Heh. Smart dog.

[ He seems more amused than anything. He probably ran his own fair share of scams in his youth. Well done, Ulfrùn, get that dough. ]

Might want to train her out of that, though.

If no one rewards her, she will give up. She is very food-motivated.

Maybe there's a balance to be found. You do want her to still warn you of actual threats.

[ Hell if he knows how to achieve that, though. He wrangles teen soldiers, not dogs. ]

[personal profile] meadqueen 2024-11-11 09:26 am (UTC)(link)
There is. I am still working on teaching her that she only needs to warn me, and not everyone in the room.
wingbound: (sideglance // sad)

[personal profile] wingbound 2024-11-11 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm. Good luck with that.

[ He does actually mean it. ]

[personal profile] meadqueen 2024-11-12 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you. It's nice to be able to be more independent.

[ He hesitates for a few moments before speaking again. ]

My friend, back home, lost an eye a while ago. Everyone is different, of course, and certain adjustments might need to be made, but it doesn't mean you'll never be able to do the same things you've done before. Or be as independent as you're used to.

[ Hange remained an excellent fighter, though had somewhat more trouble dodging the cleaning gear Levi sometimes threw at them. He's trying to offer this story as a sort of comfort, an assurance that things don't have to be less forever -- a bit different perhaps, but not reduced -- but he may not be the best at conveying it. ]

[Honestly she really is grateful to hear it. It's enough to know that people don't see something useless when they look at her.]

When it happened I thought my life was over, but every day I get stronger. I've even made the trek to Lakeside by myself.

[ Well then. Task fumbled successfully! ]

Sounds like you're recovering well.
meadqueen: (Left)

[personal profile] meadqueen 2024-11-14 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
I cannot speak highly enough of the work Svetlana did after my injury. Recovery has been a long road, but I've suffered very few setbacks.
wingbound: (neutral // talking)

[personal profile] wingbound 2024-11-16 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Good. [ A small pause. Essentially becoming a recluse after his shittastic first few months have left him not quite as familiar with the rest of the Interlopers as perhaps would be smart to be. ] Svetlana... is she a doctor?
meadqueen: (Default)

[personal profile] meadqueen 2024-11-17 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. The only woman here to claim such a title, I think.
wingbound: (gearing up for an argument // stare)

[personal profile] wingbound 2024-11-23 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
...Huh. I see.

[ Is it unusual for women to be doctors? He doesn't exactly know a lot of doctors back home. He knows Eren's dad was one. He's seen some in the hospital after Erwin lost his arm. Medics in the Corps could be any gender. And the most science-minded person he knows is, no doubt, Hange, though they're not particularly a woman nor a man. ]

[ Maybe nothing is meant by Randvi's remark, though. There aren't that many people here, and not many women at that; of course meeting one of any given profession would be more rare. ]


I'll keep that in mind if I need one.

[ The rest of the "doctors" around here haven't left the best impression on him, but then again, he's only met Hilbert, who was now dead, and Doctor who specifically said he wasn't a medical doctor. There's not much to contend with. ]

[Healer is a woman’s job! It's good for him to know if he wants help from a real healer and not one of these questionable men.]

Yes, good. For nothing so severe, I hope.
wingbound: (extending hand // we have a deal)

we can nudge them to a new topic or wrap up i think~

[personal profile] wingbound 2024-12-08 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Considering how questionable these questionable men have been, he's inclined to agree. ]

That would be preferable. We will see.
meadqueen: (Default)

wrap is fine by me!

[personal profile] meadqueen 2024-12-08 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
We will. Be well, Levi.

Right. You, too.

[ He's going to try and find the people he's supposed to give congratulatory gifts to next. ]
