Business is booming [Party]

[jmlevitt]

There's a flurry of activity near the swag tables as a latecomer struggles to get set up. There's a lot of muttered apologies as he lugs coolers, packages, and various cooking implements through the crowd and sets up shop. Eventually the set up is complete, with a grill merrily sizzling away. Plates of burgers, hot dogs, and other grilled treats

Jeff has been guzzling said caffeine like it's water, so if he hasn't turned into a ficus by now, it's not going to happen. The coffee pot is within easy reach, and in addition there's a cooler filled with the usual assortment of standard Earth cola beverages.

"Fantastic!" he replies, equally cheerful. "Feel free to help yourself."

[jmlevitt]

"I don't believe we have!" Jeff agrees, wiping the grease from his hands before offering one. "My name's Jeff."

Holmes looked over the food presented, and pointed to a Hot Dog. "What is that?"

[jmlevitt]

Jeff has seen Holmes around the Sanctuary, and nods in greeting. He follows the other man's gaze to the hot dogs. "Oh! We call those hot dogs. Beef sausage, served on a bun. It's quite good. Would you like to try one?"

[notof221b]

"I do not see why not." He fished in his pocket for coinage, not sure what the price of a Hot Dog would translate in his time and world's currency.

Jeff waves off Holmes' money. "No charge today," he smiles, depositing the hot dog in a bun. He proceeds to add a pile of condiments, including mustard, relish, a pickle spear, celery salt, and onions. "We call this 'Chicago-style'," he explains, grinning. "Really brings out the flavor of the meat."

Know now that Hewie has come for your fud (followed by his human, a few steps behind).

Fiona casts an eye over the spread and checks out the map. Oh hey, new place. "I'll have to stop by when you open up," she decides.

[jmlevitt]

Jeff nods in recognition. "Fiona, right?" he says, smiling. "It's been awhile." Time flies after you're trapped in a mist-shrouded nightmare chased by monsters armed with broken glass, eh? "We'd love to have you. Feel free to try anything!" He gestures with his spatula over the delicious spread.

Yes indeed, where does the time go. "It certainly has Jeff. Thank you!"

She picks out a couple of dishes, something light for her self and something juicy and meaty so Hewie won't climb up and get it himself. "I have to say, it's a good time for something like this," she motions to the soiree around them. Shindig. Hootenanny, whichever you prefer.

[jmlevitt]

"You're welcome," Jeff says, pride showing on his face. "I think it is," he agrees. "People seem to have more time during the summer, I think."
