The Snack Den

[Firox]

*Zoran* "for me its good, rest took a while to like, Gyros are the tastiest from what others said since it resembles a sandwich the most, just with flat bread instead of sun bread"

*Zoran does tell all while eating*
"My family origin - my mother is Greek father and grandparents from North Macedonia, well back then it was Yugoslavia - it was moving here where I met Linette and the rest"

"Greek cuisine does use a lot of cucumber, spinach, and lamb - one that takes a while to get used to is sauce tzatziki, blend of of yogurt, cucumber, and olive oil".

*as the six come over to eat, she does tell Derik*
"I'm their mother, Zoran is the father - the other seven to me are my bigger brothers or sister, I just happen to be the youngest of the eight"

*as I eat and listen, join in by saying*
"we promised to help put by taking care of the six, on different days"

[Derik Fray]

"Well I can help join in the circle I absolutely love kids their fun to be around and bring out my inner kid."


*Jackson Finally wakes up and walks over to the table.*

"Hello everybody what's on the menu today."

[Firox]

(Finished work - not sure how long battery will last)

*I look over at Jackson*
"We have some Greek food if you like to try it"

*Linette* "sounds nice thanks - 2 girls, 4 boys"

[Derik Fray]

Derik- "I'll help out with them anytime you ask."

Jack- "yeah I'd love some."
*he gabs a gyro and begins eating*

[Firox]

*Zoran passes a bit of everything to Jackson, kind of explaining what all is*

*Joseph does mention*
"we shall them a scary bed time story later on, we can use effects to make it extra scary*

[Derik Fray]

"Well that sounds like fun and I can do a terrifying one eye look if we need to."
*I say as i finally finish my meal*


Jack- "Thanks Zoran."
*he samples a bit of each food*

[Firox]

*Vay gets closer to the light switch, not to be afraid or anything, but to mess with the lights, make it more dramatic or terrifying*
*Zoran nods*


*as I go out to the bakery to get the dessert*
*Joseph and Arval get ready*

[Derik Fray]

*I turn away from others and remove my eye pulling the welding googles down over my eyes and put the eye in my lab coat pocket*
"Now you just have to tell me when to pull off the googles and scare the kids."

[lightstone]

hey guys *lightstone walks in* i've got some ingredients to make the stamppot

[Firox]

*nods as I get in as well*

*all set and ready - lights in kitchen at normal light, in another part dimmed, Joseph starts telling story*
Joseph: "on  along cold winter night.... what seem like dark clouds moving in.... and low rumbles hearing over the horizon, the sounds of fast moving creatures trying to find refuge..."


*Mia and Vee sit next to me, eating what looks like cheesecake, both cuddled so close together, I cutely wraps my tail around them*
*Tony sits next to us, face buried in a bag of popcorn*
*Enis, sitting next to Firox listening carefully*
*Kev and Matt sit in front of Firox trying to look tough*


(I fell asleep)

[Derik Fray]

*i sit close to tony and listen in.*



(Yeah that's okay I did the same thing.)

[Firox]

*Joseph keeps it up*
"before we know it.... out in the distance, a loud Boom"
*Vay flickers the light, on and off.... as Joseph uses the electric attack on the ceiling to reproduce the sound of thunder*
*both Mia and Vee, let out a small cry, bury their face deep in my tail fur, poking eyes out to see after the light comes on*
*Tony suddenly buries deep into the popcorn bag, poking eyes out to see*
*the other three leap into Firox's mane fur*


*Vay leaves the light on dimmed as Joseph continues*
"just then a small looking fox, goes outside to check to see what the noise was..."

[Derik Fray]

*I get ready to pull off the googles and yell*

[Firox]

*Vay, Joseph, Jyo, and Zoran using all available to make those scary moments seem more like "jump scares" working so nicely, at times even I get scared and jump a bit*
*six poking eyes out to see whats going in the story*


Joseph: ".... as the little fox looks outside the den, slowly moving around, it feels something brushing up its back... as it tries to run back towards a den, gets caught and raised by something...."

*Zoran lets out couple of leaves fall on everyone*
*even I get to eep all of a sudden, the two suddenly hold my tail tighter, hiding onto it*

[Derik Fray]

*I sit listening and have my trademark crooked smile on my face ready for the moment and really enjoying the story*
