So... I'll say right now that, no matter what Denmark said, I'm okay if you call me Alfred or America or both or like, "Almerica" or "Amerifred" or whatever you like! I'm both. I ain't human, but. You know, maybe I'll explain it better some day, but I don't want to right now because Denmark's pissing me off and I don't want to think about things like this when I'm upset, and besides, I've got more important things to talk about right now!

LIKE THANKSGIVING.

I'm gonna have a dinner tomorrow! Miles kinda just reminded me so I know it's kinda short-notice, but I've got a box of instant mashed potatoes and other canned things that can somewhat resemble a Thanksgiving dinner if you tilt your head and squint! Anyway, all Americans are invited, and if we hang out and you're not American you can totally come too! Yes, even you, Little England, are allowed over. Try and bring food if you do show up though, because I will be hungry.

Everyone who's chipping in to help with the whole hot water thing, let's start after Thanksgiving, okay? Oh, let's finish before Christmas! It'll be like a present to ourselves!

...Okay, so I have no idea to lock something to someone who's dead, so if you're listening in Phantom the Kid: I dunno if ghosts eat or what but I guess you're allowed to stop by after everyone else has gone home. It must suck to be dead on the holidays. But I'm a nice guy and even though you scare the piss outta me, I have a sworn duty to you and therefore you can have some potatoes too!

I could help you make the pie! I wonder where we can find corn around here...

[I was kinda wondering about that. I get confused whenever people say CRANBERRY SAUCE and then I see this red log on a plate. But...but sauce does not come in logs D=]

[starspangledhero]

Canned corn shouldn't be a problem! It's finding enough sugar and mix to make the pie that's gonna be a huge challenge!

[ YEAH I DUNNO. My family has both actual sauce with cranberries in it and... the log. The log is tradition or something. God only knows why. ]

[stealyourlines.livejournal.com]

I could ask if I can get some sugar from our kitchen...

[Maybe it's tradition. How...do you eat a log of sauce, though? Slices, with turkey?]

[starspangledhero]

That would work! I think I've got enough flour! I'll be draining half my resources, but it's Thanksgiving.

[ Yeah, lices with turkey and god only knows what else. I try to avoid the log at all costs. ]

[stealyourlines.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, we'll make this an awesome Thanksgiving!

[What else is there besides sauce logs, turkey, corn, pumpkin pie and mashed potatoes? And why those in particular? ]

[starspangledhero]

It'll be the best one Discedo has ever seen!

[ Stuffing is a must, ummm my family has green beans and other vegetables, followed by various pies. It's mostly "New World" food, and I remember in my elementary school Thanksgiving plays, there was always an emphasis on how corn saved the pilgrims. ]

[stealyourlines.livejournal.com]

Yeah! What else do we need besides the food?

[Ooh~ When I was a kid, I watched some Thanksgiving specials on TV and wondered why we didn't have any of that. XD *was a confused little girl*]

[starspangledhero]

A centerpiece! I can make some fake fall leaves with paints, but I dunno about other decorations...

[ LOL if it's any consolation, I forget every year that Thanksgiving is a purely American thing. ]

[stealyourlines.livejournal.com]

I could help you with the leaves. What about a basket of fake vegetables or something like that?

[Aw, that's understandable. ^^ The only turkey I've ever had in my life was...turkey bacon.]

[starspangledhero]

Fake pumpkins and squash are Fall-y! Those are vegetables, right?

[ ........you must eat a roasted turkey. COME TO AMERICA AND I WILL FEED YOU THE BOUNTY OF THE NEW WORLD. ]

[stealyourlines.livejournal.com]

Right! It's gotta be Fall-y!

[...OKAY. I think turkey is either rare, hard to grow in our climate, or simply expensive. BRB smuggling self in big wooden crate.]
