[GP] Réveillon & New Year's Eve & Check-In

Emma had said, during Winter's Crest, that she missed a tradition from home called réveillon. She seemed also to miss her cousin, as Lillith missed hers. Since she wished both to learn to cook and to be of comfort to her friend, it had been decided they would make a réveillon dinner for New Year's Eve.

Yet when Emma began to lay out the courses -- oyster soup and potato & leek soup, salad, a gumbo, venison roast, cheeses, and creme brulee, plus several hors d'ouevres not yet decided -- Lillith quailed at the size of the undertaking. Surely she would wish someone to assist who could contribute more than roasted rabbit, wheat or potato flour dumplings, and koláč.

Since Sunny likewise missed her family and would certainly wish a distraction, when she entered the cafe where they were planning, the other two seized upon her almost at once. Sunny could hardly resist their dual entreaty, even had she wished to, and Lillith thought she seemed even more ready for company than previously. Of course Sunny had offerings of her own: jolloff rice, peppered chicken, and fried plantain.

Between they three, the planning and the cooking were very nearly merry, and Lillith kept them liberally supplied with champagne (her personal favorite), too. By late afternoon of the eve of the new year, they had begun lining tables with dishes, and enlisted the help of other friends to make the evening event widely known.

Of course, in addition to the réveillon feast that took over the steakhouse, alcohol flowed freely, lights sparkled brightly, the nightclub had music for dancing. And at some point the Inn or Caroline or Regina hung mistletoe from several of the primary entrances and exits so that unless one wished to or was unaware of the tradition, no one (not even any new arrivals) need greet the new year unkissed.

"Just as awesome as you'd imagine." Dean admitted. Of course he was even more awesome because he was a HUNTER! "Being trapped in the twenties wouldn't have been fun but working along side him, definitely priceless."

"How did you travel through time? Did you have a time machine, too?" It wasn't something that Wyatt would have asked, but there were so many different realities at the Inn now.

"I'd say you're gonna think I'm nuts but we're in a weird Inn talking about time travel. It was Chronos, the god of time. Yeah, yeah I know gods don't exist. They do, and they're dicks. I was going to gank him but got caught up in his time whatchamacallit." Dean explained, though it probably wasn't much of one for Wyatt.

"And I would have, if we weren't standing in a weird Inn talking about time travel." Wyatt agreed with a chuckle. Though he had to admit the god of time was hard to swallow, too.

"So you went up against a god?" He was impressed. "Is that what you do where you're from?"

"Sort of. I'm a Hunter. I hunt things, monsters, gods, angels, demons. Basically whoever is being a dick to humanity and take care of them." Dean boiled what being a Hunter is down into a nutshell.

Wyatt wasn't the least bit spiritual or religious but he was surprised that Dean lumped angels into that category.

"Angels are dicks to humanity?"

"Yeah, they are." Dean nodded. "They don't care about us and at least demons are up front about it." He really hated the two faced asswipes. "Not all of them." He had to concede and not just Castiel. "But most of them are."

"So how did you get into the hunting?" Wyatt was curious but held up a hand. "Wait, don't answer that. Let me wash up and I'll buy you a beer, we'll talk." He grinned, "That's not as impressive as it sounds if you've already learned that food and drink are free around here."

"I've heard about the free beer. I'll buy the next round." Dean chuckled. "And meet you in the bar by the pool." Because the last thing that Dean wanted was to see more pink.

"It's a plan. I'll see you there and we can swap war stories." Wyatt had a feeling that he and Dean had a lot of unusual ones.
