WHAT IN PERSON I GUESS
WHERE The Park
WHEN THIS IS DAY 10 BECAUSE I SAY SO BUT TIME IS IRRELEVANT SO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT

[ The sun is shining and the birds are chirping and you can tell that summer is coming! In fact it's the perfect temperature for a picnic. Who doesn't love picnics? The citizens of Quiet Mounds have in fact also had similar ideas.

You may find yourself drawn to the park. Which is decked out for a picnic even. There's a buffet of food -- hot dogs, chips, so forth and so on. And then a series of blankets strewn about for you to take your food to. Plastic SOLO cups, 2-liters of off-brand sodas and some really really really bad lite beer if people are into that.

Maybe you just enjoy yourself, sounds fun, right? Maybe you discover that you like vegetarian hot dogs! Maybe you like real sausage. Maybe you sit down on a blanket with someone else and find that you are physically incapable of leaving -- well, until a secret is shared.

If you need a hint about how to leave your blanket, there may be an 'instruction guide to making friends' pamphlet tucked inside the folds of soft, perfect to sit on, picnic blanket. But if you just like floundering. . . well, flounder away. ]

Oh... what kind of food is this? It doesn't seem to restore any MP...

[ there is a small white-haired girl wandering around investigating the picnic food. what good is any of this if it doesn't restore my stats in battle. ]

[2beautiful2live]

[I'm lit always here for free food but also continue to be kind of bemused by free food]

More free eats...? This looks a lot better than the ration packs.

[You might catch him constructing a hot dog in the slightly awkward way of someone who has never had this particular food, or catch him when he ends up on a blanket in the sun. First to eat, and eventually just to lie down.]

[hotsytotsybotsy]

So you're a military type, too? Might not look like it, but I'm a mercenary. Beats nutrient paste and algae bars, doesn't it?

[Says the girl in the low cut dress with a cute hat over styled hair.]

[clocked_out]

[Dave comes to sit by him, also carrying a hotdog.]

Hey.

[turnonmycharm]

The food you find in the fridges here really isn't worth putting in your mouth.

[eforeveryone]

[:U?

goes over to plop next to him.]

Hi.

[proficient_in_photoshop]

[somebody is now off-duty, chillin with a hot dog]

Hey there, look who it is. Hello again!

[supraliminally]

[ She's traded in business-casual for a very trendy sundress and one of those cute sun hats, and her hazelnut latte for a bottle of fancy artisanal craft beer. She's handing you a bottle as well, with no particular introduction. You're welcome. ]

[2beautiful2live]

[??

Why do people here just keep handing Orga food is this like a cultural thing when you come from a place where you aren't starving?

I feel like it isn't but.

Anyway he's confused.]

Ah...thanks...?

[keijournal]

[Why are you like this.]

I told you I don't drink.

[mackynations]

[ ... a pause... looks at her ]

Is this for me, miss?

[punchiest]

[ some guy is definitely just.

sitting down

and then sprawling out

and falling asleep on your blanket. sorry. ]

[2beautiful2live]

[On my blanket, really?]

[kimaris]

[ The instruction guide is really cute and Gaelio agrees with probably everything in it. Right now, it's tucked under the blanket, which is tucked in a square under him, and he's using it to sit while leaned up against the trunk of a tree.

He's giving the hotdog in his hand a weirdly amused sort of look, but he's definitely eating it.

Honestly if you want a friend, he's a pretty good candidate?? Just a very tall one. ]

[2beautiful2live]

[tHAT AWKWARD MOMENT WHEN

SOME GUY WHO HAS TRIED TO KILL YOUR BFF MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT ALSO LOST EVERY TIME, IS AS A PARTY.

And also you made McGillis talk about his feelings a lot and.

Ugh.

Well chumping around acting like you aren't at the same party isn't an option due to how uncool that would be so instead he simply approaches.]

Gaelio Bauduin, yea?

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ hello I am 90% fluff and enthusiasm ]

It's a cute idea, at least... ah, could you pass me that soda?

[selfidentitytheft]

Uh, sure.

[passes over the soda




from the far total as-opposite-as-possible corner of the blanket]

[selfidentitytheft]

Oh come on!

[scrabbling at the edge of the blanket he's sat on, noooo free meeeeeeee]

[ahorseforgood]

[snorts at him, LAYING IN STATELY ELEGANCE ON THE BLANKET]

[cannonbeauty]

[ In addition to what's been offered, Jessica has brought her own homemade dishes to try. There are sweets! Cookies and cake in easy to hold pieces, but also fresh fruit and savory items. She's also mason jars full of cold brewed coffee, if that's your thing. It's just unsweetened, hope that's okay. ]

[wrongstory]

[hesitant wave]

You've brought extra? That was kind of you.

[hotsytotsybotsy]

[Tammy is dressed to impress today, with a scandalously low cut dress and a cute cloche hat.

She's currently demolishing a hot dog with great enthusiasm, her eyes wide with delight. Future hot dogs are made of algae and reconstituted beans, and suck.]

Boy howdy, I'll never get sick of eating real meat! Hey, you gotta try one!

[There's a half empty soda bottle beside her too. She seems to be in high spirits.]

[selfidentitytheft]

[waves a hand, no thanks, he's already got one]

More like real meats, plural. I don't know if these are all-beef.

[abardacttofollow]

[Stef is seated on a blanket playing The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. He hasn't tried to get up yet.]

[mindinthegittern]

[flops down to listen, with triple hot dogs]

[acts_her_age]

[there is a tiny girl sitting very neatly on a blanket with some water and a small array of cubed fruit, reading one of the pamphlets with distaste before tucking it back away]

Is this really what they meant by rehabilitation?

[selfidentitytheft]

[what are you like 6]

Apparently.

[oneknightsstand]

[Some young guy in a priest outfit is sitting back on a blanket, looking pretty blissful, and drinking some really bad beer in a solo cup]

Well, this is nice.

[turnonmycharm]

Settling in alright, baby?

[sprawling next to him and immediately putting his head in his lap]

[cinnaponroll]

This is the best!

[FOOD. AND FREE!]

[he filled up about two plates and happily eats on one of the blankets]

[selfidentitytheft]

Someone's having fun.

[proficient_in_photoshop]

Hooh... look at this spread. I'd expect at least a sponsor, and no one's even selling anything.

[wanpanjanai]

[Woah food. Free food. Saitama appears.]

It looks a lot better than the thing in the fridge.

[eforeveryone]

[eat chips eat hot dogs eat soda eat beer]

[rightwingman]

[napping in the sunshine and hogging two whole picnic blankets— one for himself and one for his single honking big angel wing]

[proficient_in_photoshop]

...There's something you don't see every day.

[keijournal]

[ anyway at some point Kei is going to drunk text Dave while very carefully not misspelling anything to let on how drunk he is]
