Graduation Brunch: The Park, Sunday, mid-morning to mid-afternoon

[idontlooktired.livejournal.com]

It was the Grads' Brunch in the park today, as the brightly coloured banner -- CONGRATULATIONS, CLASS OF 2008! -- indicated.

There were lots of tables and chairs set up in the park, under sails for shade, and long tables groaning under the weight of the food and drink. Not just traditional moddable brunch foods, but a wide selection of also moddable greek dishes and delicacies.

Coffees, teas, punch, juices and softdrink were only some of the also also moddable are you sensing a theme here? wide range of drinks.

Music played quietly in the background, the speakers hanging from the trees, and bocce ball and croquet had been set up. There was even space for dancing, a hard floor having been laid over the grass between the trees.

It may be the Grads' Brunch, but everyone was welcome! Come and congratulate the class of 2008!

[ooc: What it says up there! This is a picnic to celebrate the 2008 graduates and their guests, but it's open to all of Fandom.

Plz wait for OCD

OCD? We has it.]

"Oy. Now there's a thought." Parker made a face, then smirked, rolling her eyes. "I had no less than three phone calls from assorted nieces last weekend. Wyatt and Isabel's, Chris and Summer's, Anders and Phoebe's and Bel's, and Bridge and Xander's. And none of them grasped the concept of time zones."

"Aw, Auntie Parker is popular with the girls, huh?" Veronica asked, laughing at the mental image of Parker with flock of young followers.

"Of course! I give them certificates for ice cream and ask them to dye their daddy's shoes pink and give them kittens in the middle of the night." Parker's smile turned mischevious. "Better to be an aunt, at least with my time and money. And I can't see you with Dick, but, hey. Weirder things have happened. To people we know!"

"I can't see me with Dick either," Veronica said. And no, she hadn't considered it even once in the last few months. Nope, not even a little.

"Oh, man. Remind me not to have my future kids spend too much time with you. You know, if I actually have them."

"And yet you went to prom with him?" Parker teased lightly. "And c'mon, what's the point of having a rich and indulgent friend, if not to give your kids things you have better judgment than to let them near?"

"Well... I went to prom with him because it was partially my fault that he and Annette split up and he didn't have a date," Veronica said. "And he's not a bad guy."

She shook her head though. "You know, some day you might have your own kids and then we would all get to return the favor."

"No, he's not that bad." Dick had been amusing enough, getting her and many other girls Valentine's Day gifts the year before. "And what did you do that split them up?" Or should she even ask?

Parker shook her head. "Not for a long, long, long long time. If ever." Three or four of her possible future kids were now impossible, the time for them past or the prospective fathers long gone. Catie could still happen, but... she really didn't see how. "And the world is probably better off that way."

"Dick and I sort of... accidentally ended up hooking up over New Years," Veronica admitted. "He ended up telling Annette and they split up."

Parker gave her a deadpan look. "My. You have been a busy girl, Mars."

Veronica ducked her head, clearly embarrassed. "Yeah... things were a little bit... crazy there for a while."

Re: Tables and chairs

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Shaking her head, Parker held out her hands, palms up. "Hey. Not judging. Except on your good sense, because seriously." She smirked a little. "And possibly your taste? But then, we never did like the same guys, most of the time."

"Well, Logan and I... yeah, you know our history," Veronica said. "As for Dick... well... there was a lot of tequila. Plus we were out in LA and things were weird because of all the Angelus stuff that had just happened."

"Insane, bizarro time. I'm sorry I wasn't here to help, but not sorry I missed it, if that makes sense," Parker said. "But. I saw Angel after. He seems to be mostly dealing, so... best we could hope for." She cocked an eyebrow at her. "Understand that only the most extenuating of extenuating circumstances keep you un-shoed, though. Any other time you and Logan hooked up, I'd be throwing Prada through portals."

Re: Tables and chairs

"Oh, believe me," Veronica said. "Hooking up with Logan is so not on my To Do list."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Not any more!"

"It hasn't been for a long, long time," Veronica said. "What happened a few months ago was simply a... lapse in judgment."

She sighed. "And I would appreciate if you would keep it to yourself. Angel forgave both of us but I don't think the whole world needs to know about it."

"You better talk to Bel about that, then. Since he's still wondering what the hell is going on." Parker shook her head. "And no worries, I keep enough secrets, what's one more?"

Re: Tables and chairs

"Oh, I'll be talking to Bel. You can guarantee that," Veronica said. She idly wondered what other secrets Parker was keeping, but she knew better than to ask. If there was anyone in Fandom she trusted with her secrets, it was Parker.
