When; Monday, October 12. Early evening.
Rating; PG
Characters; Tony Foster (

darkest0knight ) and anyone Tony has spoken to and made friends with is welcome.
Summary; It's Tony's first real Thanksgiving and Eden is cooking so naturally he's invited the whole city to crowd into the apartment.
Log;
It had started out as just a nod to the holidays, like it usually was back in Vancouver when Tony didn't really know anyone to have Thanksgiving with (Zev was Jewish, Amy was...well, Amy) and Henry, of course, couldn't eat a turkey which was the whole point of the holiday in the first place. He'd had turkey sandwiches with cranberry sauce and bought a pumpkin pie from the bakery and watched movies until it was late enough to call Henry and have some company. This year was different.

Automatically, it was different because he was in the City, but it was also different because Tony had friends. And friends who could cook, no less! And Victory was here and not a vampire and thus could sit at a dinner table and not growl at Henry when he came over. So Tony was excited and had probably bought too many cans of vegetables and sticks of butter but that was okay.

He just hoped he had enough plate settings.

[ooc: If your character is a friend of Tony's feel free to assume he invited you to Thanksgiving. Since I, myself, am hosting Thanksgiving at the moment, I probably won't be able to respond to threads until later tonight but feel free to have characters mingle!]

Tony spotted Victory and plopped down on the couch beside her, face glowing from being well-fed and happy about the way things were going so far.

"So, do you think you can attempt a turkey next year?" he said, a cheeky grin on his face.

Staring at him, she realized he looked like a big child. He was just so happy, she couldn't help but feel a bit cheerier.

"I could do more than just attempt it." She smiled a bit, not quite sure if she would still be here that time but really hoping she would be. She could get used to celebrating like this.

"Attaway, Victory," Tony crowed ridiculously. "You'll show that turkey who's boss."

He tilted his chin over in Henry's direction. "He hasn't snarled so far. I'd say we're doing pretty good."

"That I will.."

She glanced over to where he was motioning, still not having said hi to Henry. She could imagine it would be tricky for him to be in such a group but he did seem to be doing well. She smiled again, before turning back to Tony.

"He does seem to be doing well with everyone..."

Looking a bit more serious, she couldn't help but ask, "Does he know a lot of the people here?"

"A couple over the Network, I think." Tony shrugged and took a sip from his cup of cider. "I don't know if that counts as really knowing though."

"I think it counts somewhat here."

She looked around the room, taking in all the people.

"You really did manage to get together a lot of people. I'm impressed."

Tony looked around and smiled smugly, rather proud of himself. "It is a lot of people isn't it?"

"It is.."

She knew he was proud of that. Back at home she couldn't have even imagined this happening with Tony setting it up and planning it. It was nice to see him this way...and it made her happy to see that he had changed for the better in the future.

"I don't know many of them though...although I have heard of them on the Network."

"I could always introduce you," Tony offered, tilting his head back to look at Vicki, his expression softening for a minute. Victory had been part of his life for years, a big part, but he'd never really let her into it.

Somehow those early times on the street had made him guarded, protective of his sense of self, and it seemed strange that he could share an apartment with her now, host a party, show her his friends. It was...new.

Now that was something she never thought she'd hear. Tony offering to introduce her to people. She was curious about everyone, but she wasn't sure if she was ready to meet people yet.

Curiousity got the best of her though.

"You could, and it wouldn't be a bad idea for me to meet some people."
