Happy Thanksgiving Meme

It's that time of year! Whether you're from the United States or have just seen it in movies, everyone knows that Americans take Thanksgiving very seriously. We consume copious amounts of food, watch a lot of football, and kick off the insane shopping season with Black Friday. It's also a time of family and togetherness, which is better for some than others. What sort of holiday will your muse have?

Directions
1. Comment with your character, series, preferences, etc.
2. Roll a number between 1-12 for a prompt.
3. Reply to others and play out the scenario!

Prompts
1. Not Home for the Holidays – You’re stuck on the other side of the world, or on a different world altogether. Do you mope about it or make the best of the occasion?

2. Road Trip – The snacks are packed and you’re ready to go to grandma’s house. But what happens when you lose GPS signal and get lost in the middle of nowhere or the car breaks down?

3. Stuck in the Airport – You’re snowed in and the hotels are full of fellow delayed passengers. Why don’t they make these chairs more comfortable for sleeping in?

4. Meeting the Family – It’s your first time meeting your significant other’s family, be they biological or chosen, and you’re nervous as hell about it.

5. Avoiding the Family – You’re obligated to go home for the holiday, but there’s only so much you can take of your family. Go for a walk, stop by the bar, whatever it takes for a little peace and quiet.

6. Friendsgiving – You’re spending the holiday with your chosen family. Are you hosting the event, or just bringing an extra bottle of wine?

7. The Dinner – What’s on the table? Is it set for two or twelve? Can you make it through the meal without someone causing drama?

8. Slaving Over a Hot Stove – Do you have to make the entire meal yourself or have you enlisted someone’s help with the mashed potatoes?

9. Burned the Turkey – Well, the main course is a little blackened. Time for Chinese food, or is it pizza this year?

10. Game Time - Football is a Thanksgiving tradition. Are you watching the game on TV, or out playing one of your own?

11. Thanksgiving Day Parade - Who doesn't love a good parade? Are you in it or just watching from the sideline?

12. Black Friday – Are you out fighting the crowds for the best deals? Or are you behind one of the counters, stuck in the annual retail holiday hell?

13. Write-in Option – Is there something we missed? Is there another scenario you want to play out, or would you like to roll the dice again? Go for it!

"We're having everyone over real soon," Frisk says importantly, hands on their hips. "And that's gonna be...real chaotic. Gotta arrange the seats so there's as less of that as possible!"

Which is going to be hard, because the table (or tables, it's actually like 3 pushed together and put beneath the biggest tablecloth they've ever seen hiding exactly what's under there) is still arranged in a way that everyone can talk to each other from across it. But still.

[ Any point from undergrad era to shortly post-GB II available. Bonus suggestions: Thanksgiving at HQ? Pete or Ray going to spend Thanksgiving with the Spenglers? Being stuck bustin' on the holidays? ]

Rabastan really didn't understand this whole American Thanksgiving thing. He was honestly not even sure how he got there, or whose house this was, or who any of these people were. But there was food and alcohol, so he figured he'd stick around.

The wine was getting to his head, and he figured conversation with some of these pathetic muggles would be somewhat entertaining, now.

However, it's not like Rab is the best at starting conversations, or socializing in general.

"Oi, I'm Rabastan, who are you?" he asked the man standing nearby.

[ Adorable little guy just wants a nice family dinner! He won't bite anyone. No matter how good they smell. ]

(It's been forever since she had time to just sit down and eat a hearty bird. Is this good? No. It's great.

Assumed CR's fine! She's a world-renown adventurer and invites herself along.)
