The Feast: He insists on proper, orderly seating. He serves you personally, ensuring you have the choicest cuts. He eats slowly and meticulously, critiquing the flavor profile with an air of professional seriousness.
The Gratitude: He struggles to articulate raw emotion. He’ll look at you, clear his throat, and thank you for bringing order and peace to his often chaotic life. "You are the one rule I never have to question." His hands will find yours under the table, a nervous, deeply sincere gesture.
Trey Clover:
The Explanation: He’s completely unbothered by the concept and immediately volunteers to cook. He’s interested only in the culinary science of the traditional feast (the brine, the baking times).

The Gratitude: His thanks is social and real. He’ll pull you aside later, his phone finally off, and look at you with unmasked sincerity. "Thank you for showing me what’s real. You’re the best thing I never have to filter." He’ll hold your hand, his honest gaze holding more weight than any thousand "likes."
Ace Trappola:
The Explanation: He’s confused by the "giving thanks" part—too mushy—but excited primarily by the food and the potential for a day off.
The Feast: He’s competitive and messy, challenging you to eat too much pie. He steals food from everyone else's plate but offers you the choicest cut of his own turkey.

Ruggie Bucchi:
The Explanation: Instantly calculating the profit margins of catering this holiday to Night Raven College. He’d be deeply suspicious that this tradition requires giving away food.

The Gratitude: His thanks is pragmatic and utterly sincere. "You're the most efficient resource in my life, Shishishi. You keep me fed and safe. Thanks for not being a waste of my time." He'd share a small, cherished trinket he "found" just for you.
Jack Howl:
The Explanation: Appreciates the "giving thanks" sentiment. Finds the massive indoor gathering inefficient but respects the focus on food and pack/family.
The Feast: He insists on helping cook and carve the turkey, demanding structural perfection. He eats heartily and is pleased by the simple, good flavors.

He will give you an expensive, tasteful gift later, proving your worth.
Jade Leech:
The Explanation: Fascinated by the historical roots and the specific food preparation methods (stuffing, brining). He'd research the earliest documented Thanksgiving meals. He views the ceremony as a study in human ritual.
The Feast: He observes everyone with a serene, unnerving focus. He enjoys the food but savors the experience of the ritual more. He'd find a bizarre but delicious mushroom to add to the stuffing.
The Gratitude: His thanks is subtle and probing. "Thank you for allowing me to observe the unique rituals of your people. Your ability to create such joy from mere obligation is truly fascinating." He’d give you a very rare, beautiful potted plant he found on his last "walk."

Jamil Viper:
The Explanation: Stressed by the sudden, unplanned chore, but intrigued by the concept of complex, traditional cuisine. He’s secretly grateful for the forced schedule.

The Gratitude: His thanks is quiet, intense, and deeply personal. He'd wait until everyone else is gone, then gently thank you for being the only place he can truly relax and let down his guard. He appreciates the quiet solitude you share.

Vil Schoenheit:
The Explanation: Initial horror at the idea of unhealthy traditional food, but he approves of the aesthetic of the gathering. He sees it as an opportunity for aesthetic improvement.

The Feast: He eats heartily and messes up his table manners, only correcting them when Vil glares. He appreciates the simple, good flavors. He’d be very protective of the food you made.
The Gratitude: His thanks is shy and heartfelt. He’d pull you into an alcove, blush deeply, and mumble, "Thanks for the good food. You... you make things feel like home." He'd squeeze your hand tightly, his own simple, strong gesture of love.
The Ignihyde Reaction (Connection & Safety)
Idia Shroud:
The Explanation: Utterly confused by the 3D ritual. He'd demand data and historical context. "Is this a mandatory quest? What are the achievement conditions?"
The Feast: He'd participate via a drone or a video link, commenting on the historical inaccuracies. If forced to sit, he'd be uncomfortable but eat his favorite components (potatoes, pie) quickly.
The Gratitude: His thanks is quiet and digital. He’d DM you an impossibly complex, custom-made pixel art of your two avatars holding hands, labeled: "Thanks for the good stats. Love ya."
Ortho Shroud:
The Explanation: Data collection. He'd calculate the caloric intake and the social bonding efficiency of the gathering. He finds the concept of giving thanks a logical, positive emotional transfer.

The Gratitude: He’d give you a small, custom-made token with a voice message: "Thank you for generating high-level positive emotional data. Your happiness is essential to my processing." (His way of saying, "Your well-being is my primary function, and I love you."/p)

Malleus Draconia:
The Explanation: He finds the custom profoundly beautiful, viewing the "giving thanks" as a magical ritual of gratitude. He'd be curious about the history.

The Gratitude: He’d thank you for including him. He'd speak of them as the most important event in his long life, saying something profound like, "You are the single greatest treasure my centuries have offered me. Thank you for showing me this simple, powerful magic."
Lilia Vanrouge:
The Explanation: He knows exactly what it is. He's seen the holiday evolve over centuries. He’d tell slightly inaccurate, very dramatic historical stories.
The Feast: He eats with surprising gusto, making sure to try every obscure dish. He loves the chaotic, spontaneous nature of the feast.
The Gratitude: He’d thank you for providing him with new, wonderful memories. "My dear, thank you for making my ancient life feel young and vibrant again." He’d give you a small, musical, magical gift he "found" in his luggage.
Silver:
The Explanation: He'd take the "duty" of giving thanks very seriously. He'd be deeply grateful for the food and the company.
The Feast: He'd be hyper-vigilant, making sure everyone is safe and served. He'd try his hardest to stay awake for the entire meal, focusing intensely on his plate.
The Gratitude: His thanks is earnest and formal. He'd look you in the eyes and say, "Thank you. Truly. You are my greatest peace." He'd later pull you into a quiet, warm hug, his strong arms a silent promise of protection.
Sebek Zigvolt:
The Explanation: He loudly declares the entire affair a "weak human custom" that wastes time that could be used serving Malleus.
The Feast: He eats three plates of food while loudly complaining about the lack of Fae presence in the historical narrative. He's intensely focused on not making a single mistake in manners.
The Gratitude: His thanks is the most difficult. He'd wait until Malleus is gone, then stammer out a stiff, embarrassed compliment. "Hmph! It was... it was efficiently prepared! And... and you... you are... a credit to the Young Master's acquaintances! That is... acceptable!" (This is his highest possible compliment).
The kitchen hopes this grand "Harvest Tasting Menu" was a satisfying experience!
We, the staff of the Mostro Lounge, raise a glass in profound gratitude for your continued support, your wonderful requests, and your patience. You are the finest patrons we could ask for!
We wish you and yours the warmest of blessings and the fullest of tables this season. Happy Thanksgiving, esteemed patron!
