Hi friends! It's me again. You'll all be thrilled to hear that I had a great idea.

What is this idea, you ask? Well... I want to throw a feast! In my homeland they're a great way for people to come together, eat ourselves stupid, and make merry. We could all use some of that with everything that's been happening lately. The spring ball already feels like forever ago, and not everyone was here to enjoy it.

There's just a few simple rules: you have to bring some food or drink from your world, or as close as you can get! And you'd better label it so we all know which foods are from where. [...He's not actually going to enforce this rule, he just thinks it'd be more fun. And educational!]

The other rules are absolutely NO fighting, and no tying each other to trees to get attention, no matter how fun and cute it may seem on paper.

[he's naming no names!! you know who you are!]

I'll send out the location of the feast closer to the time. As for timing -- how about the last day of this moon? That way you have no excuse not to prepare something, and spread the word to people who are bad at using these things!

I'm counting on you all.

[ Horus straight up didn't bother coming up with a username, instead just leaving his phone signed out of any kind of username, and certainly wasn't intent on bothering with writing. He has no idea how to text no matter what language he's perceiving it in. But someone showed him the video button, so he's using the video button. ]

Claude! How many people must we obtain food for to attend? This is a strange means of throwing a feast.

[ Servants usually prepare food for gods???? The servants at the inn aren't particularly skilled at cooking (they only ever seem to make a strange bread called muffins and strange "cereals" with something called a marshmallow?? That people pour milk from the teat of a cattle onto????) But if he can get some money, he can buy a keg. Ancient Egypt knows what's up about beer. His mom showed the humans how to make it, it seems like the ideal thing to bring. ]

[It'd be much more confusing if he was anonymous and using text, but this is fine! He smiles when he recognises who it is.]

Hey! I know it's not conventional, but it's not like any one of us has the funds to throw a big feast for the whole city alone. Plus, this way we get to try all kinds of things and learn about one another.

Oh-- but as for how much to bring, I'll leave that to you. As long as everyone brings at least a little something, whether that be food or drink, we'll have plenty to go around.

[hor]

Do you throw many of these?

[ It sounds like an interesting concept. One that he couldn't experience back home, since everyone is Egyptian. ]

[leicesters]

Once upon a time, yes. But resources have been so scarce back home, it's been a while since I've been able to enjoy one.

[hor]

Then let's make the best of this one. I'll have to explore the market. The food here is very different from home.

[leicesters]

Likewise, really. But whatever you decide to bring, I'll look forward to it!

[hor]

I already know what I intend to get if they sell it. Something everyone enjoys.

[leicesters]

That's mysterious. Is it going to be a surprise?

[hor]

It may be better as such.

[leicesters]

Fair enough. I'll wait with bated breath until you show up, then!
