But in my life I never meant to cause no harm

Who: Claude (inaurate) & You!
What: Claude's hosting his own birthday party a multi-cultural feast and everyone's invited! If you would like your character to contribute a recipe, please see the top-level within to do that!
When: The evening of July 24th (forward-dated) but this will also cover prep.
Where: The Festival Green (basically dead center of the island/town, you can't miss it!)
Warning(s): Will update if any apply.

There is a notice about the event posted to the community bulletin board in early July. Below it is a small wooden box with an open slot in the top.

Those who Claude knows personally will also receive an individual invitation with the same information.

On the evening of the 24th this month, there will be a feast held in the Festival Green, and all are welcome to attend! I invite everyone to submit a recipe from their home, and I will do my best to recreate them here. If it will require off-world ingredients, please get it in sooner so I can make arrangements with everyone's favorite skeleton pirate merchant. (Donations of citrus fruit for payment to our dear captain are appreciated but not necessary.)

Along with plenty of food and drink, the musical stylings of Cormac and the Banshees will be featured, and there will be bonfire jumping after nightfall.

You are also welcome to bring your own dish if you so wish!

Looking forward to spending an evening feasting with you all!
~ Claude von Riegan

There are a lot of reasons why Claude has been keeping mum about this whole thing being on his birthday, some he is more willing to offer up as explanation than others. Mostly it's just that the feast itself is what he wants for his birthday-- he doesn't want to distract from the theme of it, of coming together to share in different kinds of food from different kinds of places. Of course, at this point he expects Lorenz will not let him get away with his cagey nonsense forever, so he doesn't even try to avoid him.

It not officially being his birthday party also means he's far more capable of melting into the crowd when he so wishes, so you're welcome Lorenz, now you can approach him privately while he's letting some food settle before going back for more. His eyes catch on the wrapped parcel under Lorenz's arm, and his eyes narrow in amusement at the oh so serious way Lorenz is approaching giving him a present, like he's about to deliver terrible news about the war front. "Sure, no problem." He pushes up from the table, gesturing towards a tree a little ways away from the party that offers a little bit more privacy. "Thanks for coming-- I did make saghert and cream for you, by the way, let me know how I did with it. What am I saying, I'm sure you'll give me a full critique on all the dishes you tried by the end of the night." He teases.
