( open ) First Night of Hanukkah

[signedlefthanded]

Who: Violet, everyone
What: HANUKKAH
When: Night of the 8th
Where: Violet's shop
Rating: PG?

[The shop floor has been cleared, tables set. A hanukiah stands in the middle of the table. At sundown, a blessing is read. Afterwards, Violet starts taking off the lids to the dishes. There are a ton of latkes as well as other fried breads and Jewish pastries. Of course there is roasts and fish, and Violet tried her hand at several different dishes.]

ooc: so I am not Jewish and just spent a long time reading about Hanukkah. If I screwed something up, I am so sorry.

Also feel free to assume there are nutcrackers around. Treat this like a party post.

Comments

after eating!

[nihilo]

[ Because Alice will still be picking at one of the latkes, eating with her hand taking apart the potato shreds to nibble at them. ]

I doubt a kiss would be appreciated this season, so how do we thank the chef?

[signedlefthanded]

A 'thank you' is fine. [Said as she picks at another latke herself.]

[nihilo]

Thank you. [ Alice even smiles sweetly, which may end up looking creepy coming from her. Oh well. ]

Do you have a recipe for these latkes?

[signedlefthanded]

I do. I wrote it down if you'd like it. [She grins widely.]

[nihilo]

[ What is that grin, Alice finds that hard to understand. ]

Are you asking me to make them for you?

[signedlefthanded]

Oh no. Just that I can give you the recipe.

[nihilo]

Don't you want me to make it for you? Or do you not trust me enough?

[signedlefthanded]

If you made them, then of course I would eat them. [She's not that suspicious.]

[nihilo]

Then I will.

[signedlefthanded]

I look forward to it.

[nihilo]

Deal, in exchange for a small favor.

[signedlefthanded]

And what is that?

[nihilo]

A kiss.

[signedlefthanded]

A kiss? [Well that is a strange request, but she doesn't find herself objecting.]

If you wish.

[nihilo]

[ Alice just scoots closer. ]

Should I close my eyes?

[signedlefthanded]

[She straightens then.]

If you want to. [She leans in a little closer to her now, not particularly thinking about what she is doing. After all, she's only kissed one other person.]

[nihilo]

[ She chuckles, before placing her fingers under Violet's chin and leaning in for the lips, of course. ]

[signedlefthanded]

[Violet finds her lips against the woman's, kissing her back. It's softer than a guy's. Her hand steadies herself on the chair.]

[nihilo]

[ Alice is considerate enough not to be insistent, at least, pulling back slightly to smile with amusement at her. ]

[signedlefthanded]

[She gives an awkward smile back. Well then. That's not how she expected tonight to go.]

[nihilo]

[ She grins. ]

Now then, I never caught your name.

[signedlefthanded]

[She smiles back.]

Violet. Violet Baudelaire.

[nihilo]

Alice Morgan.

[signedlefthanded]

Pleasure to meet you. Officially.

[nihilo]

Now I owe you latkes.
