4th Shot [video]

Alien planet or not, there's no way I'm spending another Thanksgiving alone. I know I'm not the only American trapped in this place. And I can't be the only person here with a thing or two to be thankful for.

[It had been one of her favorite holidays as a child. Her mother had reminded her every year just how much she had to be thankful for growing up in the Bishop family, never needing to want for anything. They'd spend the day in one of the soup kitchens her mother helped to run and serve meals to those in need. She never complained, even as a little girl.

By the time they came home at the end of the afternoon, it seemed like Christmas had come early. Food would be spread out on the dining room table and her father would actually be home from the office in time to spend a meal with the rest of them. Eleanor would insist they all eat dinner together, It hadn't been just the Bishop family that night, but their cook and nanny and housekeeper. Everyone together, one big family.

It had been one of the first traditions to go after her mother died. Thanksgiving had become a day to slave away in the soup kitchens, nothing more.

Kate takes a deep breath, looking pointedly at the camera. If a flicker of sadness and longing crosses her face, it's in your imagination. There's no regrets here. Not one whatsoever. Life is too short to let those emotions keep dictating your every action.]


So, guys, what do you say? I've never exactly prepared my own meal but it can't be that hard. Thursday, 5 pm, my place. Bring whatever you want. I'll provide the bird.

Thanksgiving?

Is that some odd combination between thanking people by giving them presents. Is it akin to the Yule season? Please do tell me that there is an old man involved with a large beard who is fond of reindeers pulling his sled.

Will there be food as well?

Am I invited?

Sounds like my kind of celebration.

[She's got a surprisingly big appetite, although she'll make sure not to make a huge pig out of herself.]

Hey! We have a social scene! We have a rec room. It's kind of in ruins right now but we'll get to it. We play a killer game of Darkness and Demons on a Thursday night.

I dunno. It's a tabletop roleplaying game. It's really good. We managed to get the Night of the Shambling Ones expansion pack. It was the last one released before the apocalypse.

[Oh jesus THERE'S a question.]

I... I don't know. [This time it comes out almost as if it's one word, suddenly and blurted. ]

There was-- a thing that... happened on the Moon. And-- I mean even if... I just-- I don't know. [Can they please go back to talking about cranberries? D:]

[Because Saiyan and half-Saiyan pigging out goes above and beyond human levels of pigging out. On the plus side, she can be counted on to ensure there aren't too many leftovers.]

Are there any other Thanksgiving traditions other than a big meal and being thankful with your friends and/or family?

[It's hard not to miss the past-tense used there and his playful edge softens a bit.]

Well that's a good reason, too.

{Simon scratches his head a moment as he files that information away.]

Sisters?

[She hasn't talked a lot about her family before this.]
