5:30 ~ 7PM Dinner is Served

[verydistinctive]

[Eliot along with a staff of ghosts and a few townspeople have been preparing food all afternoon and into the evening. It's amazing how difficult it can be to make sure that all the food is cooked, and hot and ready to go when it needs to be for this big of a crowd. The Menu is still the same, with a few minor adjustments, but he's relatively sure that it'll go off without a hitch.

All the servers will make their way to the tables, and serve the guests whichever they request. There is plenty of everything, so make sure to enjoy! Don't forget to save room for dessert!]

[ooc: If you want to mark your 'table' so to speak by group or something so that it's easier to find in the collapsed comments feel free to!]

MEANWHILE, IN THE KITCHEN...

[sneakingly]

[She waits for the exact moment that the servers carry their trays out, leaving the kitchen empty and ripe for the picking. Parker pulls the roll of tin foil from her dress straps, quickly unrolling enough to cover the tray of those delicious Eliot-made cheeseburgers. She has to act quick, hurriedly but still with the greatest of care wrapping them up so that she can grab them and run. She didn't RSVP for this party, after all.]

[verydistinctive]

[oh ho ho, he sees what you're doing there Parker, and as Eliot moves out of the freezer where he'd been checking on the desserts he spots her]

Parker!

[sneakingly]

[MENTAL SJDKLF. She nearly drops the platter, a few burgers rolling off of it. She grabs one that nearly meets the doom of falling off the counter.]

WHAT. You're supposed to be with the other servers, serving people! [Takes a bite of the burger in frustration.]

[verydistinctive]

[moves toward her wiping his hands with a towel]

I'm not a server, I'm the chef. I'm in here... cooking food and making sure there is food to serve! [steals the platter of burgers back, and yeah he sees that roll of foil there missy]

I'll save some for you alright? If there isn't any I'll make more.

[sneakingly]

[Struggling to swallow before she starts to speak]

But I'm hungry now. You mean you can't spare a few for me now? When most of those people are going to be requesting foods I can't even pronounce anyway?

[verydistinctive]

Why are you even over here? Other than to steal my food! Shouldn't you be keeping an eye on Tony? [shakes his head and sighs] You can take a few, but not the whole tray of them. Just - get back to the other party! Sophie is out this one chatting up that Wayne guy. [shoos her]

[sneakingly]

Yeah, yeah, I'm going. [But not before she wraps a few up and sticks them in her purse.]

[verydistinctive]

[swats her rear with the towel as she heads away from him, and he saw that sneaking of food too, but what else is he gonna do? It's Parker. He can't stop her from jumping off a building before the count of three, he's not gonna stop her from snagging a few more burgers]

[sneakingly]

[Kind of yelps and makes this face right here. She shoots him an odd glance over her shoulder before she disappears out the closest door.

And then peeks back into the kitchen to hold up a bottle of wine she swiped when he wasn't looking, stick out her tongue and disappear once again.]

FIRST TABLE

[halfgoddess]

[Cassie's sitting there, because she's hungry and she wants dinner. She's wearing short, strapless dress of some kind, but she's wearing a sweater over it, because dressing really girly is awkward.

Who else is sitting here?]

[callisto]

[well, well, well, what do we have here? Oh that would be a crazy psychotic Goddess showing up with her amazing disco strobe of power mode of transportation. She's looking pretty darn insane in her dress but her heels make up for that. Ares of course is along for the ride, mostly because he thinks he might get ridden later]

Oh look... it's your little champion. What's her face. [ruffles her hair]

[halfgoddess]

[She looks up, and looks between Ares and the blonde woman for a second before she clues in. Oh. That's that Callisto girl. She straightens up a bit, and then...

that bitch ruffles her hair. Cassie reaches up and shoves her hand off]

It's Cassie. And keep your hands to yourself.

[ares]

[Of course Ares is the only one not dressed up. Hey, you try to make the god of war change out of his warlord get-up]

Ladies, ladies. Can't we just agree to get along for one night?

[Yes, so maybe he's mocking Cassie's earlier attempts to keep the peace, but as much as he'd like to see these two throw down, there's a time and place for everything]

Cassie, I'd like to introduce you to Callisto.

[A glance between them]

Callisto was the arch-rival of my previous champion, Xena. She's new to this whole goddess thing, so you'll have to excuse her.

[Plus, you know, batshit insane]

[callisto]

[well Callisto would've complained that he didn't dress up, but he'd been nice enough to provide transportation. Callisto didn't think fiery flames would be good for the table clothes]

Cassie... [and there's that damn twitch under her eye at the mention of Xena!! She shoves Ares not so playfully at the low dig to her new to goddess situation too]

Xena was a bitch who deserved all the hell I brought to her. [offers her hand to this Cassie girl]

[halfgoddess]

You're making it sound like we disagree every other night. [scoffs, but she stands up to take Callisto's hand and shake it. She is so goddamn glad that Tim, Kon and Diana aren't here, like you wouldn't believe.]

Nice to meet you in person, Callisto.

[tight smile, and a polite tone that isn't quite earnest, if only because she does NOT want to sound like a push over.]

As luck would have it, I'm not really in the market for an arch-rival. I hope Xena doesn't mind if I don't take on her torch.
