You receive a strange message, the letters flickering on your screen as if alive, reciting in rhyme:"I SEE YOU'VE GOTTEN MY INVITE, THE GODS CAME FOR A FESTIVE NIGHT. WE'RE BRINGING FACES OLD AND NEW, TO FEAST UPON CUCKIES ANS STEW. SO TAKE A SEAT, MY HUMAN FRIEND, YOU'VE JOINED MY RIDE, STICK TO THE END. I GIVE THANKS THAT YOU'LL SEE THIS THROUGH, JUST ACCEPT MY GIFT YOU"
Without warning, reality bends. You blink and suddenly find yourself behind a white velvet sofa. Sitting just in front of you are Mitte and Super Scourge
At the grand table in the center of the room, God Z carefully places a roasted turkey corpse with a twisted, agonized face on top of a mountain of salad. A few feathers and entrails hang loosely from its belly. From the side, Tenma Mighty calmly arranges porcelain dishes
Suddenly, a bell rings. Super Scourge turns to the door, eyes narrowing, confused. Zephaniah and God Z exchange a glance—delighted, excited
Zephaniah strides to the front door and swings it open with theatrical flair. In the doorway stand towering presences: Xenophanes, Fleetway Sonic, Sunky.MPEG, Lord X, and Majin Sonic
Zephaniah steps forward and meets Xenophanes’ extended arm in a sharp. They cross arms in greeting
[Mighty.ZIP/Zephaniah] "Pleasure to have you here"
[Sonic.EXE/Xenophanes] "The pleasure is ours, believe me"
Lord X scans the room with idle cruelty, then walks slowly toward the dining table. He and Xenophanes select their chairs with deliberate poise. Meanwhile, Tenma Mighty meets Majin Sonic mid-room, exchanging a gleeful handshake like old partners in mischief
[Tenma Mighty] "Oh, they have finally arrived"
Lord X spots the twitching turkey. He shoots a glance toward God Z, who returns it with a proud nod
[Lord X] "This looks… delightful"
[God Z] "I prepared it myself! I hope it's as good as it looks"
God Z bursts into laughter. Xenophanes reaches out, claws poised to tear into the turkey—but God Z slaps his hand away with a swift smack, smirking
[God Z] "Ah-ah-ah. Before we begin, how about we share a few words? Zephaniah?"
Zephaniah lifts one gloved hand with a solemn gesture. His gaze flickers toward Xenophanes with challenge and mischief
[Mighty.ZIP/Zephaniah] "I would be more than happy to. Unless… anyone objects? Xenophanes?"
Xenophanes narrows his eyes, teeth clenching. Then he exhales sharply, rolling his eyes with a groan
[Sonic.EXE/Xenophanes] "Go ahead"
Chairs creak as everyone takes their seat. Super Scourge and Super Fleetway Sonic stay standing near the head of the table, arms crossed, watching like proud hosts at a ceremony
Behind them, above the crackling fireplace, hangs the mounted head of Tails. Around him, framed photos of infamous figures decorate the walls: Needlemouse-Sarah, Starved Eggman, ColdSteel the Hedgehog, and more. A shrine of twisted legacy
Zephaniah clears his throat, adjusting the collar of his robe. The flickering firelight dances on his face as he raises his voice: "Although in our past we broke our tether… I'm glad we're all here, back together. For now, we have all come to meet— And enjoy a delicious and HEARTY god’s feast. For it is now, on Thanksgiving Day, THAT I INVITE YOU TO CHOW DOWN IN A CARNIVOROUS WAY!"
The room erupts into laughter—high-pitched, guttural, glitched and musical all at once. Plates clatter. Forks rise
Xenophanes, Lord X, Zephaniah, and God Z devour a plate of twitching intestines
Majin Sonic and Tenma Mighty dig into a mountain of lumpy puree, humming between bites
Sunky.MPEG joyfully eats cereal from a cartoon bowl, milk splashing everywhere
Mitee chews bubblegum with a wide grin, using Tails Doll and Ray Doll as dolls in a mock battle, giggling
As the laughter dies down, Zephaniah raises a goblet—but stops midway, blinking in mock confusion
[Mighty.ZIP/Zephaniah] "Bless you, bless you all, ffor coming—to—this—cele— What the fuck even is Thanksgiving????"
Everyone bursts into chaotic laughter again. The fire crackles louder
