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. ]

[ RED OUT TO HER EARS ]

Probably, but I can't reliably tell who isn't human unless they look it, either!

[now it is MY turn to put my face in my hands]

Fuck do you mean I just outed myself for nothing?!

[ ...starts giggling helplessly, still into her hands ]

Not- not entirely, I could tell there was something to you, just not— oh, what a mess.

I won't tell anyone?

I don't know who would believe you, but, thanks?? I won't either!?

There's a dragon god here and several other people who could tell what I am, so I'm sure there would be someone if I wanted to be an ass... mmph.

...appreciated. I'm trying to lead a relatively normal "life," so to speak.

A dragon— I think a storm god of some kind, but don't take my word for that. I think he's claimed the lake.

Well fuck the idea of ever going kayaking.
ghostfromthemachine: (you'll find the breath)

I don't think the lake would be good for that, anyway.

Is there something else wrong with it now?
ghostfromthemachine: (I'm the first to know—)

Not wrong, I suppose, just... I've heard the bottom gets deeper than it should for a lake of this size?

What, like one of those crazy sinkhole lakes?
