[He's been trying to take the high road when it comes to the antics of the tiny god of mischief. Not a peep out of him over the candy corn! Did you see that? Not a single word! He may have even managed a chuckle and a thought of "well played", once he finally unclenched his jaw. More recently, he didn't once accuse him verbally of the sex swapping in the days before the culprit came clean.

But today, Dr. Byron Orpheus has had enough.

Maybe he's been called Count Chocula by one too many passersby, as if a cape isn't a perfectly acceptable thing to wear. Maybe holidays focused on family give him an extra dose of missing his daughter and the fact that it's THANKSGIVING IN OCTOBER just further emphasizes the fact that he's not at home.

Regardless of the precise reason, he has set the NV at one end of his dinner table while he sits at the other. There's a faint haze around the food items as he levitates them over the table, making mashed potatoes, rolls and green beans spin and somersault around his reanimated turkey.]

I can make my food dance, too. I fail to see how it's that impressive of a feat.

Oooohhhh boy, so it's like all the wizards are having a food fight magic battle showdown now, is that it?

[dr_orpheus]

A food fight would be unbecoming of a man my age.

[madeinoblivion]

So instead you've got a bouncing dinner roll show.

[dr_orpheus]

Yes. Not something that happens IN A HIGH SCHOOL CAFETERIA.

[madeinoblivion]

Wouldn't know, I ditched the whole high school idea.

[doeswhathewants]

That's only levitation, not reanimation. Boring.

[dr_orpheus]

I prefer to leave my food undesecrated that way.

[doeswhathewants]

Desecrated is such an inflammatory word.

[dr_orpheus]

And what word would you prefer?

[doeswhathewants]

Dinner and a show. As the saying goes.

[brat_from_hell]

Aren't you too old to be playing with your food like that?

[Video]

[dr_orpheus]

I consider it a demonstration, not "playing".

[Video]

[brat_from_hell]

Oh, I get it. It's a demonstration if you do it, but it's playing if I do it.

[Video]

[dr_orpheus]

It would be playing if either of us did it purely for our own amusement.

I'm doing this to make a point.

[Video]

[brat_from_hell]

And that point is what? That you don't respect Thanksgiving?

THREADJACKED

[doeswhathewants]

Bit of a double standard he has, do you not think?

[brat_from_hell]

Oh, I agree. It's not really fair at all.

Waste of time.

All video all the time with Orpheus

[dr_orpheus]

As was the prank that inspired it.

And text all the time with Rorschach

[aprettybutterfly]

Don't know why someone would bother. Turkey doesn't taste that good.

[dr_orpheus]

You don't have a fondness for leftover turkey sandwiches?

[bratziska]

... Were you expecting applause?

[ Because if he is, Franziska's definitely not providing it. ]

[dr_orpheus]

I do like to think it was a reasonably entertaining trick.

But no, it was a message that caught the attention of its intended recipient.

[bratziska]

Oh? What is floating potatoes supposed to convey, exactly?

[dr_orpheus]

[He's not sure he likes your tone, young lady.]

Exactly what I said, that making food move isn't such a spectacular feat of magic.
