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. ]

[FINE OKAY just background music time]

[mindinthegittern]

[he does in fact seem pretty smirky and chilled out today, just flopping around enjoying the weather and music]

[abardacttofollow]

So, got any plans after this?

[mindinthegittern]

...I hadn't got that far, honestly.

[medren what's wrong with you you had like seventeen plans on day one]

[abardacttofollow]

Just taking it easy and enjoying the lovely day?

[mindinthegittern]

Yeah, I'm feeling a bit lazy.

...made a new friend, though, I think.

[abardacttofollow]

Oh yeah? Who?

[mindinthegittern]

Name of Tristan.

[abardacttofollow]

Haven't met him.

[mindinthegittern]

He's an Empath, so he got curious when he heard me busking, for obvious reasons.

[abardacttofollow]

I've noticed that Empathy seems to be one of the few gifts people outside our world recognize.

[mindinthegittern]

Oh, it's come up...?

[abardacttofollow]

More like, I've got a lot of questions about Gifts and that's the one that garners recognition.

[mindinthegittern]

Huh. That's interesting. I wonder why...

...not enough to do a survey or anything, though.

[abardacttofollow]

Van'll probably be interested regardless.

[mindinthegittern]

Don't you think he's a bit preoccupied at the moment?

[abardacttofollow]

Oh, has he said as much? What has he said about me tell me.

[mindinthegittern]

He said you're ~amazing~.

I'm sure he's told you to your face as well.

[abardacttofollow]

Okay but I want to hear every little thing he's said I don't know about.

[mindinthegittern]

He said, and I quote, that you are beautiful and wonderful and he can't believe this is real.

[abardacttofollow]

[spins Medren around] Woo!!

[mindinthegittern]

[bursts out laughing, patting Stefen's shoulder]

[abardacttofollow]

[beaming helplessly] Look, it's nice. It's nice.

[mindinthegittern]

Do I look like I'm criticizing??
