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. ]

But what do you make your prefab food from? Is the futre all algae and jellyfish?

Jellyfish aren't in style, but algae, sure. Also processed frankenbeans, scop, that kinda stuff. If you got some cabbage, you can shell out for real vegetables and cultured meat.

Potatoes?

Yep. All sorts of them. A lot of them are these really fancy shmancy special breeds.

I only know, like, three kinds of potato.

Not much gene-modding going on back home, huh? I dunno how humans lived before ice cream trees were invented.

It's not like ice cream is hard to find without it growing on trees. $20 will stock my freezer for a month.

I'm just kidding. It's more like a soft-serve custard tree.

That sounds... squelchy.

The stuff is inside the fruit. It's not too bad.

What, like a coconut?

Or like a bonbon.

Ohhh, okay, now I'm into the idea.

Nobody knows how they were made anymore, but at least we've got the seeds.

Hell if I know either. Our ice cream is made from cream and sugar.
