Sit and Eat at Fia's

Come inside, everyone. I know this is the first time we all get to see each other in person. The music will get started at once Damien, Pete, and Me stop arguing over my eight-track collection.      
     
“Who has 8 tracks anymore? I mean, really, FIA?”  Me askes with a look of what the hell on their face.      
     
Please leave your coats in the corner over there, get you guys a glass, and fill it with whatever. We have alcohol, and we have non-alcohol. Sorry, my daughter had an accident, and some of the labels were washed off, but if you're not sure, bring it to me, and I'll taste it.      
     
“Sorry, we are late. I had to wait for Billy to get his stuff together.” Mary said      
They both walk in, one with a bowl and another with a bottle.      
     
“Sorry, we're late here. I had to bring something. It's only proper it's the English way.”      
Mary rolls her eyes and walks in.      
     
“Hey, is Sam and DK here already?”      
     
I look at her with wide eyes.      
     
“Oh my God can both of you go upstairs and unlock the door and um unhook them from the bed and the wall, please?”      
     
Everyone stops moving and looks at me.      
     
“What? You guys know I'm saving up for a proper dungeon. I think everyone is here to get this on a roll.”      
     
The doorbell rings, and Styxian and  Adelphina walk in. As they walk in, the three in the corner with the 8-track play the song "Let's Get It On."      
     
Ahavati comes in behind and says,” There’s no house music?”      
     
“Alright, let's get this dinner started, shall we?” I say out loud      
Everyone takes their places at the tables, and I begin by saying      
“I do not usually say anything before I eat, but I wanted to say something tonight. I was asked earlier what I am grateful for.      
     
I will try to do this as quickly and efficiently as possible. I am grateful for collaborations. I have never collaborated on a writing site before, but when I got here, I was immediately asked to do one, and I was hooked.      
     
I am thankful for all the different talents I've been exposed to over the last few months. Yes, it's only been a few months, but it feels like I have been here all my life. (Keith,Adagio,crimson,BettyASD)      
     
Speaking to you and learning different ways of viewing the world, people, and situations have helped me become a better writer.(Debbie,Jimmy,Hamid,MidnightSonneteer)      
     
I am grateful to have female friends. It may sound funny, but not every person you meet is a friend, and they do not understand why I write.      
I am also grateful to have my male friends. They are some good people, and I am thankful they are in my life.      
     
So if you all can lift the shot glass in front of you even if it’s empty.”      
Sam, Billy, Mary, and Dk come downstairs with different looks on their faces, and I know I am in for it after this toast.      
     
“To all of you. This may be the deep underground, but all of you bring your light, passions, and undeniable talent here, shining your own light so we can see.”
