Time to eat! Ted would be damned if he didn't celebrate Genessia's most ignored holiday. Gratitude was spare in this world, and he felt divinely inspired to dispense it when he could.  Or perhaps everyone merely wanted an excuse to stuff their faces. Saying grace is mandatory, you heathens.

Thus, his coworkers, colleagues, and most importantly: friends, would find a traditional feast spread out before them. Mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce, apple cider to drink, and of course, turkey. Naturally he'd enrolled his deputies to help prepare everything. Once they'd had their fill, Ted wanted to feed them further with the one thing he had in abundance: words. Words to express his love and gratitude for each of them. After that it was time to put away the dishes, and break out the game table. For politics is a game Ted had never really played before, and he wanted to play it well. That meant enrolling all his deputies in his schemes. Feasting at noon, plotting by night. Aren't you glad you signed on with this guy? Thus, we come full circle to the message of the holiday: be grateful.

(OOC: Part 1 involves Ted giving thanks for the people in his life. If you're a friend and would like to feast with the crew, lemme know. If you're a friend of Ted's, he'll also share words of gratitude in your direction. Deputies don't have a choice: come hell or high water, they will be praised! Of course, everyone is welcome to return fire.

Part 2 is the strategy meeting. Guardians and deputies only (unless you really really wanna contribute to the guy's campaign. Let me know if your muse is just that invested). Here is where Ted will lay out the beginning of his strategy. Tactics are the topic, and brainstorming is our business. Serious business. But hey, just remember: campaigning is a game with a dear prize. Play hard, but have fun.)

"It's a type of alcohol made from rice. It's very important in the culture I come from." Koishi held up her hand and tapped the jug hanging from her wrist. "I have plenty and this is mild enough for humans to drink."

She took another big bite of the turkey leg, finishing off the meat before putting a good bit of the bone in her mouth and biting down. It snapped easily, the youkai crunching away. "Mm. Bones are better before they're cooked. But the meat is better after. No fair."

She takes a sip. Sweet.

She chuckles at Koishi's antics. "You remind me of my friend Meulin, although even she couldn't just bite through bone. You have rather strong teeth."

"Well, my teeth were made to bite through bone. My species is carnivorous and its much easier to get at certain organs without damaging them of a lot of larger animals if the rib cage is opened. Also, my teeth are normally a little pointed so its really easy to crack into them, but since I'm a youkai my form is a little fluid and humans think sharp teeth are scary."

She finished her turkey leg, leaving nothing but seasoning clinging to her hand, licking her fingers. "Really big animals like cows though have really thick bones and those can be hard to bite through."

"Trolls are carnivorous too, or omnivorous, at least. But we tend to just make use of tools to butcher. Sharp teeth is rather common for us, however, and we can't just shift it away. That and the horns tends to mean that humans find me rather intimidating to begin with."
