WWYCD? The Turkey Day Special

[The Watcher]

No elaborate scenario here. Just asking what your characters are doing for Thanksgiving (assuming the characters are from an appropriate setting for Thanksgiving).

 

So, are they spending time with their family? Participating in the Macy's parade? Having dinner with the rest of the team? Going home alone? Just patrolling the streets or manning the monitors like a normal day?

 

What are they doing on Thanksgiving Day?

Starguard -- cooking the turkey.

 

Dr. Pain -- eating the turkey. And that other turkey. And a couple plates full of dressing. And...

 

Baron von Darien -- brood.

As Thanksgiving isn't a holiday in Australia, Southern Cross would just treat it like any other day.

Microman II: Probably ends up hanging out with Father and Princess Cyrande, as Dr Collins shows his hospitality, and Microman tries to explain applicable Earth culture and customs to the Princess.

 

Diomedes: Takes the day off, spends it with his parents.

Style - Spends the day with his American friends, eating as little as he can politely get away with.

 

Flesh Gordon - "Hey now, turkey. Mmm." Enjoys his turkey, eats more than any normal human could survive, tells a complicated story about how he and Tom Cruise spent an insane two days hiding from a gang of low level superhumans led by a jealous husband in Rome, makes low key passes at anything female that seems interested.

 

Legend - Tries to make his friends feel as comfortable as possible at a huge Thanksgiving dinner, leaves in the middle to help stop a Black Scientist from taping the psychic residue of thanksgiving to release an army of hungry ghosts.

Audra Blue has no familial attachments, but she does live in a base full of superheroes, and Carlos (the base chef) would try and drag everyone together for a good gourmet meal.

 

Uncle Slam has no (known) family, but he's in a base full of troops who may be stationed away from home, so he would preside over Thanksgiving dinner, realizing how important it is for those on duty to observe some sort of festivity.

 

Anthem is living in a rundown hotel in one of the worst parts of town (because that's where she feels most needed). She'd patrol, but it would undoubtedly be very quiet and fairly crime-free. The lady (NPC) up the hall with two children would probably bring by some of their dinner, as she often does, since Anthem keeps the neighborhood secure.

Eve: Spends the entire day cooking and serving a huge dinner for the team.

 

Valkeyrie: Probably has a quiet dinner with her potential boyfriend Jerimiah and her sister

 

Tao: Acting on the residual memories of her components likely spends allot of the day lost in reflection. She might wander to their homes, coming close but never quite spying on them. Perhaps the rest of the team can pull her out of her introspection and get her to form some bonds with them in the present.

 

Shidoku: Spends the day alone, getting drunk in her apartment and in a generally dark mood.

Quasar - Spend the day in his mansion with his wife and duaghter - lots of happy, quality time.

 

Mystica - She's Russian, so even though she lives in Milleneum City Thanks Giving isn't really a holliday she celebrates. Heck, she celebrates Christmas in January. Most likely one of the other professors at Milleneum City University, or perhaps another super she works with, would invite her over. She's really a likeable person, after all.

 

Shadowhunter - Wake up late, workout, work his street contacts for info on local super villains, patrol the city after sunset. Maybe beat down some punks who were out causing trouble. Get home a little after midnight. Take off the costume and grab a long, hot shower. Then take a long look at himself in the mirror and wounder if all he's scarificed has been worth it. Go to bed just after sunrise. Get up later and do it all over again.
