29 Chimera Court, Porch

Nov 02, 2006 20:42

El had erected a small altar to his loved ones and made the proper gifts.

He also had a tray of pan del muerto, for anyone who came by, Mexican or no.

[[Up for Chad, but open to anyone, whether you live there or are just swinging by.]]

Nadia was taking a somewhat round about route back to the clinic, and spotted El on his porch, taking in the altar. "Hola, El Professor,"

El looked up. "Hola Nadia." He pushed forward the tray of bread. "Pan del Muerto?"

nadiathesaint November 3 2006, 02:54:51 UTC

Nadia frowned at the phrase and the bread, but accepted a piece, anyway. "//What's this for?//"

guitar_and_gun November 3 2006, 02:55:49 UTC

"Dia de los Muertos," El responded. "//Do they not celebreate the Day of the Dead in Argentina?//"

nadiathesaint November 3 2006, 02:57:22 UTC

Nadia shook her head, still looking at the bread. "//Not that I've seen or that my mun has found after researching for two days. Is it like Halloween?//"

guitar_and_gun November 3 2006, 02:59:36 UTC

"//The day of the dead is, in Mexico, a day of rememberance of those you know who have died. A celebration of their lives.//"

nadiathesaint November 3 2006, 03:01:27 UTC

Nadia nodded, then took a bite of the bread. "//All the people you know who have died? Because some of them I don't want to remember.//"

guitar_and_gun November 3 2006, 03:06:30 UTC

El nodded. //"That's up to you. I always think of all of them, even the ones I very much do not want to remember.//"

nadiathesaint November 3 2006, 03:40:08 UTC

Nadia looked over El's altar. "//Do you have a lot of them, sir?//"

guitar_and_gun November 3 2006, 03:43:36 UTC

"//Yes, Nadia. Many, many, many dead people to remember.//"

nadiathesaint November 3 2006, 03:46:41 UTC

Nadia suddenly realized that that was probably a really dumb and very rude question. "//I'm sorry. I should let you get back to remembering them.//"

guitar_and_gun November 3 2006, 03:56:20 UTC

"//Wait, Nadia,//" El said. "//Is there anyone you would care to remember?//"

nadiathesaint November 3 2006, 03:59:06 UTC

Nadia paused and thought for a moment. "//. . . Yeah. Is there a way you're supposed to do it?//"

guitar_and_gun November 3 2006, 04:03:12 UTC

El nodded to the altar. "//Stand in front of the altar and pray for them. You may offer a marigold if you want, though.//" He offered one of the flowers.

nadiathesaint November 3 2006, 04:05:40 UTC

Nadia accepted the flower and smiled slightly. Rico would have liked this, the tiny skulls, the flowers, and the bread. "//Thank you, sir.//" She stood for a moment, looking at the altar and thinking, then set the flower down.

guitar_and_gun November 3 2006, 04:07:17 UTC

"//One other important part,"// El, said.
