Sibling Rivalries: Chili Edition



Flyers have been going up around the Forum and Commercial District for the last week or so. This morning,the lights in the VSW Meadhall came on. By noon, anyone getting close enough to an open door would know: chili's on!

Inside, everything's set up and waiting for the hungry and the curious: Clint's cooking in one corner, and Verity's in the other. Between them, tables are laid out with the necessities: bowls, plates, spoons, and plenty of napkins. There's beer and iced tea, some lovely tres leches cakes provided by the Nexus' favorite Japanese detective, and various toppings for the chili: bottles of sriracha and sweet Thai chili sauce, red pepper flakes, green onions and red, lime wedges, diced bell peppers and jalapeƱos, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream. Cornbread and tortilla chips round things out.

Long tables with a mix of benches and chairs fill the hall on either side of the fire pits. One has board and card games stacked neatly at one end (they were neat when they were put out, at least). Another has two boxes, one wrapped in purple paper and one in pink, for depositing voting slips.

The fire pits are lit, the food is waiting, and there are games in want of players. What are you waiting for?

((There will doubtless be further Cupid-based shenanigans, but this weekend, it's all about the platonic relationships. Bromances, BFFs, and family ties rule the day! Let's celebrate! Threadhopping, tangents, games, and mischief are all encouraged. Just don't start a food fight or Verity will have to yell.))

Is there a jug of water here? There is, good. He'll need that when he starts experimenting with more chili.

"Hmm? Oh- wait, the shaving or- did he do something else?" Naugus! Felix is just distracted enough not to catch how quick the subject change is.

Jim groans and let's his head slip down to the table. Maybe if he's lucky it will swallow him whole and spare him really any of this.

"You heard about that?" Considering Naugus was screaming about it in the forums no less, pretty much everyone did. "There's a lot of bruising, too but yeah. "

Sigh.

"Hasn't really come back much yet." Itches like a bastard though.
