HAPPY INTERNATIONAL PANCAKE DAY!

So come down to Cassiopeia Grille and get your free pancake while they're hot and fresh!

Happy Thanksgiving, Digital World!

*General sounds of cleaning up in the Cassiopeia. Odd seems to be humming, but soon enough he breaks in to a full song.*

I didn't know you could sing that high, son.

... I didn't know I could sing

*chuckles* Viruses can be amusing.

I see.

Everyone has been having a difficult time lately. From the eviction to losing so many...

I'm a firm believer in food and drink not only being a way to comfort the soul, but to honor those that have gone.

That said, I had this idea with Hoshi already, but I've yet to implement it. I'd like to have a feast in memory of those that have left or passed, completely free of charge at the Cassiopeia Grille in Tetha. There will be foods and drinks of just about anything one can imagine, and a chance to speak about those that this world has lost if you so wish.

It will be held this weekend, Saturday beginning at 4:30pm. Weather permitting the tables will be outside.

If anyone at all could lend a hand with the cooking and setting up, I'd really appreciate it. I've got a full service kitchen, plenty big for making everything.

And if anyone's got any questions, feel free to contact me.

There's a whole lot of commotion on the comms and down the road at the inns. Hoshi, what's going on? Are you alright?

I still think this is a crazy endeavor, my boy.

I like that you're trying to be practical, Arthur, but I think I've been a fry cook long enough that I can run my own place.

Whatever happened to your love of anonymity?

I get the feeling that's not entirely possible here. I'm not bothered by it, though. I love to cook, and this is the best way I can think to still do that.

Alright, alright. Just remember that isn't easy.

I will.

Okay, Hoshi! Hit it!

*sound of megaphone clicking on*

Welcome one and all to the Cassiopeia! This is Hikari-Kyoyama Hoshi and I'm here announcing the grand opening! What does the Cassiopeia serve? Well... we serve the most delicious pancakes known to man! Trust me when I say it that these pancakes are like a little slice of heaven!

So, come on down to the Cassiopeia in Tetha for every fluffy bite!

*megaphone clicks off*

Thank you, Hoshi!

You're welcome!

Now how about those pancakes?

Yes, please!


[Added about an hour later]:

Hm. There seems to be a deli opening next to me. It's a good day for food service!

- ore complicated than a cell ph- ... I think it's on.

Let me see, let me see. *pause* Yes, go ahead, son.

Thank you.

Hello, my name is Odd Thomas, and I may be in need of some assistance. I seem to be located in the...

Goc Desert, my boy.

Yes, that. The Goc Desert. I need to see if I can get out of here, so any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
