Mark VIII

The chances of me getting a turkey the size of Rogers over Thanksgiving is high.

Everyone not American might not get it. But history aside, a turkey the size of non-muscular Gryffindors is really the only reason to celebrate the day.

Please tell me I'm not the only one looking forward to edible monster birds?

I think you're the only one.

[patrioticspells]

I don't think you can find a bird that big.

[arrogantalloy]

Katniss, you're killing me. What isn't there to get excited about? Turkey is probably the best game bird I've had.

[arrogantalloy]

Still got a lot to learn about the world of magic. I'm sure it's possible.

Hey I was at least being realistic. I was almost going to ask for one the size of Thor.

[cantstarvethisfire]

It's a good game bird, but who needs one that big? It's a waste of meat, unless you're going to make soup and freeze it. You could probably sell the feathers to someone who makes crafts or arrows, only if they're good quality though.

[arrogantalloy]

It's not just me eating it. Mercer is thinking of having a Thanksgiving thing for all us homesick Americans.

Wow you really do scavenge everything don't you?

[cantstarvethisfire]

How many of you guys are there?

It's called being resourceful, okay? Scavenging sounds like crows going through trash.

[arrogantalloy]

Enough for a giant-ass bird, that's for sure. Anything left over I'm sure we'll be able to do something with.

I was thinking more of a fox.

[cantstarvethisfire]

I'm sure there's one kid who will try to eat their weight in food.

Are you calling me sneaky?

[arrogantalloy]

Like Thor.

I'm calling you sneaky and hot.

[cantstarvethisfire]

That doesn't sound like an american name.

I forgot how you always go off in that direction in conversations.

[arrogantalloy]

These days, there isn't really an 'American name'. Not in America at least. But yeah, Thor's the Gryffindor who took a Slytherin bludger in the last match. He could eat his own body weight in turkey I'm sure.

I don't always go off in those directions.

[3potionproblem]

Oh, god, not this again.

[thesmallesttrickster]

I am not sure what you are talking about, but eating a large bird does sound rather enjoyable.

[cantstarvethisfire]

Oh yeah that kid. I can see him eating that much.

When don't you?

[brothor]

What are you giving thanks for? Are you thanking turkeys? Is that a tradition?

[sixbuckdropout]

dude dude
im gonna be disapointed if you dont get one his size
holy shit im so excited for thanksgiv man
turkey and pie
aw yeah

[patrioticspells]

Is magically altering poultry legal?

Can you even eat that much turkey?

[arrogantalloy]

Doesn't have to be the turkey, could be the crops. And personally I'm not up to date on the whole magically modified food. But hey if it was a toaster you made sing, then yeah, that's illegal.

[arrogantalloy]

It's Mercer that's arranging it, not me. She's the one you should be thanking. But I do get the credit for dictating the size.

I'm starting to be concerned about how it's taking me less time to understand your handwriting the more I read it.

Have you ever thought about becoming a doctor?

[arrogantalloy]

So could he.

Other than right now? When I'm working on my projects or homework. Or talking to Jarvis.

[arrogantalloy]

Tradition, in America. We give thanks for the native people for allowing the British to come over and exploit them and their land.

But for the most part it's families sitting around eating a roasted bird with yams, mash, and indigestion. Also, the Macey's parade. I've missed it ever year since coming here.

[arrogantalloy]

Hey, I don't complain about the weird things you get excited about. Mine is at least me being a proud American.

[arrogantalloy]

It's one of those American holidays that we lose our minds over. It's a big thing, I promise. Family togetherness, historical significance, and a 50 foot floating snoopy.

[3potionproblem]

I annually forget that gluttony is synonymous with American.
