[He'd come out of sheer curiosity. Sure Michael had seen people celebrate the holiday all across Canada first and then America but it was different from a human's perspective. Or at least that was what he'd been lead to believe. So seeing as how Michael wasn't really close with that many humans his curiosity had led him to the one place that housed both of his close acquaintances - Chuck and Magneto.

So don't mind this guy hanging out near the outer edges of the different areas just watching the people.]

[thelittlestbub]

[She was also lurking around the edges. Just because that was what she did at a big gathering before throwing herself into the fray. Besides, she had no doubt that someone would get up to shenanigans and she'd have to throw them out.

Deadpool, she's looking at you.

However, seeing the one guy (Mike? Was that his name?) hanging around the edges, she grabbed a plate of hors d'oeuvres and wandered in that direction.]

Hiya! Welcome to the House of Awesome.

[servingfather]

[Michael had no intention of "throwing himself into the fray". He was more the type to let the fray come to him unless he spotted someone he wanted to talk to.

So he wasn't surprised when Jubilee approached him and gave her a smile.]

Thank you, although this is hardly my first time being here. My visits tend to involve Chuck in some manner.

[thelittlestbub]

Ah. Well, Chuck's floating around here somewhere.

[Jubilee winks.]

That might even be literal, depending on if he's using the wheelchair or not.

[servingfather]

[That causes him to chuckle.] I'm sure he is and I may even see him around. He'll be easier to spot with that wheelchair.

Mostly I came to see how you all celebrate Thanksgiving as I've never had one. [Unless people count the archangel and prophet get-together they had.]

[thelittlestbub]

Me? I eat more than I normally do and make everyone despair of getting any for themselves.

[Jubilee shrugged. Thanksgiving at the mansion had been an epic food affair, if they were actually in the mansion that was.]

Never had one? But you sound -

[Wait. Give her a minute. Things process.]

Oh. Sorry. Didn't recognize you at first.

[servingfather]

There does seem to be quite the spread so maybe they won't have to despair too much.

[While she's thinking it over Michael's just smiling at her.]

It's alright. Better to not be recognized right away in a city like this one.

[thelittlestbub]

I will trust you on that. There's been more than one from a different world that recognized me. [Shrug.] I move around though, so it's cool.

You're not eating?

[servingfather]

I'm not worried about those from other worlds recognizing me just so long as I stay off the companies radar. That's attention I'd rather not have.

[Chuckles at that.]

It's not necessary for me to eat.

[thelittlestbub]

Necessary and not wanting to are two separate things, dude. Besides, Francis and Michael went to all this trouble. Might as well grab some grub while there's grub to grab.

[Jubilee firmly believes in stuffing yourself at every opportunity.]

[makes_asteroids]

[Why are you looking at him for an example? He doesn't normally do this either - to the point of having to look up the more traditional foods last year to know what to cook. But he was surprised, pleasantly, to see Michael had shown up. It would mean a lot to Chuck, he thought.]

Michael. Welcome.

[He smiled, warm and seemingly more at ease than he feels.]

[servingfather]

[Mainly because he knows that Magneto would do the holiday right just for Chuck's sake. The man had practically adopted the prophet as part of his extended family.]

I know my presence was probably unexpected so thank you.

[He returns the smile easily.]

[makes_asteroids]

[Maybe he just understands being homesick Michael.]

You're welcome.

[Parties make him nervous - strangers in the house, and he would certainly use it to poke around to check defences - but playing the host is something he was used to, which was settling.]

Could I get you anything?

[servingfather]

[These last couple of months are the longest Michael's been away from his "home" and while he may long for it what he really misses is Raphael. Lucifer and Gabriel may be here but over the millenia it had been Raphael that had stayed at his side through everything.]

I don't require food and I would probably drink all of your liquor before even beginning to feel the effects. I merely wanted to see how you celebrated this holiday.

[makes_asteroids]

[That's why he's doing this for Chuck. Home...home, with family, he lost again in Ukraine, and he gave up after that. But he didn't want others to.]

I could always call Elaine and ask for a bottle of whatever Chuck gave you. Assuming Chuck didn't beat me to it.

[Oh yes, he heard about that. But he laughs softly.]

How I celebrate? I'm Jewish, don't force me to invoke culture and start in on a Yiddish lecture how you too skinny and pile you a plate anyway.

[Because he would.]

[servingfather]

[It's a nice sentiment but Chuck's idea of doing anything is with a bottle of alcohol and sex. That's how he was going to handle Lucifer's release from the Cage and the beginning of the Apocalypse.

That has him chuckling.] As much as I appreciate the thought I don't think it would have the same effect as it did last time. [So far there aren't any siblings to drink with.]

Piling me a plate with food would hardly do me any good seeing as how this isn't even my body.

[All the same the image has him smiling widely.]
