#ooc

yup!

Well, she fits right in then. She gets to be Ester, of course. Hirim will be fine as Haman unless Ice wants to be? You get a hat.....

Probably no noisemakers used (but they are on the table); everyone stamps and boos and hisses instead.

Purim might be her favorite

Princess hat!

I GOT A TIARA!!

Hahah!

Zara drunk is amusing.

Zara drunk + Stairs, even moreso

oh lordy yes

And everyone sleeps in Sunday.

all the more reason to fall asleep in the chair

However, Ice now has at least SOME grounding in Jewish legend/history.

nod He does.

Wine makes history class tolerable.

"So Esther schtupped the king?"

Wine makes SO MANY THINGS tolerable.....

See, if they'd served THAT in school, he might have gone more often....

And he did bring something. Possibly amongst them, figs.

WIND!

He'd heard they were Hirim's favorite. L Yes, wind!

Can we assume he did ask Hannah about apple cake storage, possibly without mentioning the roaches? Unless she asks how he was storing it, in which case it's inevitable.

Zara assumes there is a secret technique/ingredient

I am reminded of a RL incident poor Liz went through. She had a birthday cake. Put it on her table, went to bed.

She had a surprise party with a thousand uninvited guests by morning. (ants)

OH JEEZE.....

Yeah. wince

So, Ice's cake problem, based on RL events!

awww

sad cake

Yes. She and I had an agreement, when we lived closer by. She hates ants, I hate spiders. If we have a problem with either, we'd drop by and take care of it.

good deal, yes

Yup!

You have any -- won't say phobias, necessarily, but something if you find in the house, you SO don't want to deal with?

For my co-worker, it was potato bugs.

Roaches.

Right after grad school, I lived in an apartment building that was infested. Found the first one the day after I moved in, when I opened my fridge

UGH

no, the worst is the nymph that CRAWLED OUT FROM MY LAPTOP KEYBOARD

everything in tupperware, garbe out every single day

OH jeeze!

boric acid everywhere

still saw, like, one a week

Problem is, no matter how I kept my place, they were in the walls

Yeah. Infested to 1x a week, though, big improvement.

but uhg

HATE

I can understand THAT, yep

Zara is much more tolerant than I am
