food glorious food [open]
WHO: August, his aunts, and Literally Everyone
WHERE: August's very small house
WHEN: Early February
WHAT: His aunts are in town, that means food, which means his aunts told August to invite people over, which means he is inviting folks from the Zodiac app
WARNINGS: August swears? Like a lot?
aunts are here. if you can see this you're invited to food. feel free to bring your own dishes, Marianne'll love that
actually if you're veg or gluten-free you might wanna bring something, Marriane never met a meat she didn't like and this kitchen ain't GF-friendly by virtue of me loving bread
August's place looks about like you'd expect a college kid's rental to look: small, not the newest, and hilariously crowded. It does have two bedrooms, but only technically. The second bedroom is tiny, and is also where August technically sleeps.
What? Did you think he wasn't going to turn the master bedroom into his craft room? Please.
When you arrive, you'll be greeted by one of three things:
-Julian cawing happily and landing on your head (if he knows you personally)
-Marianne (small, a bit rowdy, always eager to embarrass August or Cat) calling out to August in French, August replying in French, and then Catherine (taller, calmer, and always ready to bemoan why both her wife and nephew-son are wimps) sighing and turning to you with a "hi, you must be friends of August!"
-the above, but with loud and colorful swearing from the kitchen instead of Marianne and August bickering. Listen long enough and you'll probably learn to swear in another three languages!
If you brought food, Cat'll take it and set it on August's tiny table or the card table they brought because they know their son. If you didn't, Cat will point out the stuff already laid out--and there is a lot. On top of the typical relish tray and other snack-y foods, there's already three types of salad, two kinds of soup, a pot of chili, a crockpot full of very fancy cheese dip, another crockpot full of hot cider, a third that seems to be full of some kind of bean dish, and whatever else Marianne is making.
If asked why they brought so much food for what was likely going to be just August, August will say "they're empty-nesters" before dodging whatever Cat is throwing at him for that pun while Marianne cackles in the background.

She shakes her head, and smiles.]
I'm okay. Keep going. You needed people for this tarot reading thing, right?
no subject
[Please be a good card. August never wishes for that when he does readings but it's clear Mirabel needs something good.
Fool, upright.]
Ooh, nice. The Fool represents new beginnings, and you might not know what's gonna happen, but...fuck it! Go for it! Things are looking good, even if it's scary.

That must mean whatever's going to happen after we rebuilt Casita! At least... until me and part of my family were whisked off to here.

[She still feels kinda garbage about it tho.]
Three of us so far? Maybe more will show up.
[Spoilers they do.]
no subject
Huh. House-mandated therapy. That's a new one.
[Moving on.]
Just how many people are in your family, anyway?

All in one house?

One bathroom though.
Wars have broken out over that.

[Anyway. August shakes his head to refocus himself before flipping the third card and sighing.]
Ten of Cups, reversed. Which is what I got, and the general reading got. That's weird.

[She watches him curiously.]
What's that mean?
