Sam's Teki-Terra Christmas Cram Jam!!

Who: Sam and you, especially if you got a word-of-mouth invite, but "party crashers" OK!
When: December 23rd.
Where: Sam's apartment in Akabeni!
What: She's hosting a get-together for people to experience Kaiju Christmas...
Warnings: uh, are the Teki-Terra movies PG-13?




It's the weekend of Christmas, and Sam had invited a few people over to bear witness to a time-honored tradition. (It's her family tradition, but Sam will literally be darned if she forces her friends to watch Hallmark movies...) Instead, she's kicked it up a notch.

It's a kaiju movie-fest, starring the subject of the Teki-Terra movies and his assorted friends! To prepare, Sam has made a bunch of food and snacks for folks to literally devour during the shows.
And of course, there's popcorn.

"Come on in!" Sam's face is a beaming beacon of excitement as she opens her apartment door. "Just find a spot where you can.squeeze in, the floor, the couch, whatever. There's food in the kitchen, though it'll probably be best if we all take turns."

Mostly because Sam's apartment isn't a huge one, for all that it's nice. For one person, it'd be downright roomy, but who knows how many people will be shoving themselves into her place tonight? She'd invited a few people (Shinsha and Keiwa, as examples), but she had specifically not said that they couldn't bring a friend (or two!) if they liked.

For Sam, whose family is back in America (and might not welcome her anyway!), having a friend-filled Christmas is the next best thing...

"Well, there are people who are vegan for religious reasons, but they're mostly Buddhist monks... I used to live in a temple, though, so that's what I'm used to."

Foreigners in Japan are often surprised at the relative lack of vegetarian options, at least compared to Europe and the USA... even though meat-eating was officially banned in Japan for centuries. There's fish broth in everything, even tofu dishes. Luckily, it's not too hard to find vegetarian products in Yumemigaoka, but Shinsha grew up in a small town where there were no meatless meat buns or dairy-free ice creams.

Shinsha grabs a slice of the vegan pizza... and then another slice. They certainly can't let Sam's hard work go to waste.

"It looks delicious... you'll have to share the recipe. I live alone now, so I end up cooking the same meals almost every week. I should try new things..."
