Dinner Table & Chairs from Dinner For One

Origin
Recorded in 1963, the sketch comedy act “Dinner for One” was originally shot in both German and English. The black and white skit became a fiercely demanded and popular special in Europe, always appearing around New Year’s. The 90th birthday of Englishwoman Miss Sophie presents the problem of no guests, as she has outlived all her friends, except her steadfast butler James. To cheer her up, James pretends to be each of her four guests while she talks and toasts to them. Sixteen drinks later, James is stupendously drunk and clumsy compared to Miss Sophie’s meager four glasses. Taking James upstairs to rest, they agree to celebrate “the same procedure as every year”, at which James tries to mask his excitement.

Effects
Pouring a drink while at least one person is sitting fills the remaining seats with the spirits of deceased friends. They will appear as the user remembers them best in their mind rather than when last or healthiest seen. Although not resurrected, the spirits appear whole, can interact with objects set upon the table and have some degree of taste. They will rejoice with the user, laughing and toasting to cherished memories and thankful to see each other one last time. Those sitting at the table will find themselves severely drunken, overstuffed and tired, even if they consumed nothing.
