Visit for Billy/The Dresden family/The Plissken family and anyone else around

[call_me_snake]

Snake sighed knowing the house was about to turn into a madhouse. So much for a few quiet nights with his wife but in all honestly he liked the house full of people. It reminded him of life and that there was a reason he was fighting that had nothing to do with vengeance. He'd made sure the house was stocked with food, lots of food. It was about to be a week long stint of something that might resemble a family reunion except most of the people involved had little or no blood family around. It could only get more interesting from here.

Now he was waiting for the insanity to start. Xena and Solan were around, Cassie was off playing and he had only now remembered he hadn't told anyone about the visit. He'd been too caught up in Xena getting back to remember. It was probably too late now. Would anyone really notice an extra kid running around the house anyway? Snake assumed probably not.

He was making a drink when he realized the dining room table wasn't going to cut it for what?...10 ..11 people. Did he even own enough dishes to serve that many people? Snake just started laughing. His thoughts sounded like his mother to him which was endlessly entertaining to him.


OOC: Slotted to happen 4 or 5 days after Xena's return home.

::The elder Dresden finishes dragging the heavy case of ale to the houses porch. He cracks open the case and pulls out one of the unchilled bottles. He makes a gesture to Snake as if to offer without out speaking. He has a rather unceremonious seat on top of the crate and opens the first beer::

Who was Snake to refuse anything that looked like alcohol? Smiling he took the bottle and sat on the steps.

Need help unloading the jeep?

::Harry reached back into the wooden crate upon which he sat for another beer. He cracked it open and took a slow pull. He savored the taste of the ale. It was an old fashioned flavorful brew native to Chicago. Made the old way and by a friend of Harry's, it was the wizards drink of choice::

No matter what kind of beer it is or how you serve it. The first one at a lake always tastes special.

Sure, but I don't feel a need to unload it right away. We'll take some time and get settled. Work the kinks out of my back from being stuffed in that jeep for the last umpteen hours.

Snake was watching the three boys and smiled.

Seems like Billy's been making my pond into an ocean again. It's a big pond but no means a lake.

Snake nodded. We get everyone out here anyway only take a few minutes. Nice thing about having a big family.

::He smiles slightly::

That was one of the things I always thought was so great about kids. Everything seems so larger then life. Things that we would brush off seems so meaningful.

::Frowns::

Then they become teenagers ...

How many is everyone?

Have enough of them around and you eventually remember what that's like.

Snake shrugged. 20 seems to be my problem time with them.

Snake had to think that through. 11. 12 if your wife shows up. More if Mac and Kay show up. Gonna be a full house. Though thought maybe put the boys out back in a tent. Save on the house chaos.
