INTRO MINGLE: BOUNTIFUL BUFFET
	NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK
	New arrivals will continue trickling in as time goes on, always arriving close enough to the Obsidian Fieldlands base camp to be spotted and shepherded back to the safety of Jubilife, or in the vicinity of a material-gathering party who can gather them up as well. Characters are given a spare set of clothes once they arrive at the village. It's usually something resembling a casualwear kimono and trousers, fitted to them specifically. OOC NOTE: If your character arrived during the TDM, feel free to use that as game canon!

PLANNING PHASE
As the new arrivals begin to show up in force, the Galaxy Team's leader, Kamado, makes more and more visits to the Wallflower. Soon after, the Wallflower's chef and owner puts out a call for help: Ingredients, of all varieties, and extra hands that can prepare and cook food. It seems a big buffet is in the works - and the whole village is invited! OOC NOTES: ❧ The in game length of the gathering, prep, and meal phases totals 4 days, but feel free to thread well beyond that. ❧ Wildcards and additional prompts are absolutely encouraged here! ❧ Characters who arrived during the TDM may consider those threads canonical to the game if they wish. ❧ Have fun!

	GATHERING PHASE (DAYS 1-3)
	The request goes out in the early morning on Friday: Ingredients! Food items! As much as you can carry! The reward, the green haired maestro of cooking assures you, will come in time. Though if you can’t be convinced to work for free, he’ll turn over some coin with minimal grumpy mumbling. The ingredients he’s looking for are all easy to locate in the Obsidian Fieldlands - a variety of berries, the ever sweet combs of Dazzling Honey, and the savory Springy Mushrooms that grow at the bases of trees. There are other herbs and plants on the list as well, so feel free to make some up as you go. The largest barrier to progress is the Combee that guard their precious honey and the Paras that hoard the mushrooms, guarding them fiercely. Whether you choose to sneak in, grab your goods, and sneak out, or do battle with these boisterous pokémon is up to you.

MEAL PREP PHASE (DAYS 3-4)
As loath as he is to admit that he needs help, Beni is allowing folks into his kitchen to slice, dice, and sauteé in preparation for the big day! Ingredients need to be washed, sorted, prepared, and stored safely. Wood needs to be chopped for the cooking fires. New additions to the pantry are still being accepted. Whatever you can contribute helps, Beni assures everyone. If you’re feeling like there’s too many cooks in the kitchen, tables and benches need to be set up outside. The tables inside need to be washed and set up as well. Decorations are discussed - maybe some colorful lanterns or banners…?

	FEAST (DAY 4)
	When the day comes, tables and benches are set up in front of Galaxy Hall and filled to the brim with food. Rice, great big hotpots of ramen, plate after plate of mochi - potato or otherwise - and a truly incredible selection of clay pots containing quality teas, brewed fresh for the occasion. And that’s just scratching the surface! Between the Agriculture Corps tireless work on harvesting food and all the new arrivals’ hard fought spoils, the feast is truly grand. Kamado appears in front of the table just as the first guests start to draw closer to the wonderful arrangement. He gestures with a sweeping motion at the food, and bows his head respectfully. "If you eat from this table-" he says. "-then you are one of us and we welcome you to our home. We only ask that you work to put food back on our tables moving forward. That you work hard and give Jubilife, and indeed all of Hisui, your best."

GOOD OMENS (NIGHT)
After the feast, as night begins to fall over the village, characters may look up to see that in the clear starry sky, a meteor shower has begun. The shooting stars come in all colors, too, filling the night with a cheerful rainbow incandescence. Locals stop and point, the superstitious among them exclaiming that this is a good omen. A sign that things are looking up. They say there’s an old legend about this sort of meteor shower - that if you make a wish on the colorful streaks in the sky, it just might come true...

[Even though he's seen Lup, he still wasn't expecting this so soon. As Kravitz looks over, following the ever-so-familiar voice, his tense expression breaks into a surprisingly mischievous grin, with just a tinge of concern.

After all, if Taako's here, who's feeding their cats?!]

Ah yes. Such a shame.

[That's when he leans over and plants a sun-warmed kiss at Taako's left eyebrow.]

You should be more careful, or else someone'll collect that bounty you racked up. [It's mostly a joke - though he does want Taako to be careful, Kravitz can't feel the Raven Queen's pull here. Whether he's good at joking is another matter. At least he didn't use his working accent?]

[Don't worry about the cats, Kravitz. This all exists in extradimensional space anyway. Take it from your boyfriend, he knows how it is. Taako's grin only widens when Kravitz comes over, trying to supress a little giggle when he gets the kiss. It doesn't matter as much that he's not home now- it's a lot better just to have Kravitz here.]

Psssh, like who? My sister? She's been letting me do crimes for hundreds of years, bubbleh.

[He reaches up to put his arms over Kravitz' shoulders, lean more weight on him with that same grin.]

So when did you turn up to this backwater town? Really thought you'd be home waitin' for me when I got to saunter in.

.... You'd only gone to the kitchen. Did you need to get more ingredients?

[Timeline bullshit. Kravitz never even knew Taako was gone, let alone for an extended time. But that wouldn't explain a lot of this...]

Or... Were you somewhere else, Taako? [It's the only thing that could make sense. Why he's got another, fresher death on him, why he seems so used to this, why he's being a little bit cagey...]

[ Were you somewhere else, Taako?

Oh, son of his bitch. Taako's good at keeping his expressions controlled, everything in place, but there's a tension in his movements now as he shifts his body a little more closed off.]

For real, my man? Fucking figures. That kinda time probs doesn't, uhhh, even register on your death radar, should'a guessed.

[He looks towards Kravitz like he's trying not to dare to be hopeful.]

Seriously, dude, fuckin'-- Hadriel, the emotions liches, the goddamn robot uprising? Nothin' in that ol' noggin?
