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

A banner, the letters wrapped with fresh spring flowers, hung from the trees, spelling out CONGRATULATIONS, CLASS OF 2009! No missing letters or anything.

Spread out across the park were plenty of tables and chairs, some under the shade of picnic shelters, some out on the grass in the sunshine. For those who felt like getting back to nature, there were even red and white checked blankets spread out in a few areas for old-fashioned picnic-y goodness. Lack of ants not guaranteed.

The long table that ran along next to the picnic shelters was laden with a vast moddable array of traditional brillig-y food, including fruit, veggie snacks, breakfast pastries, sandwiches for the especially hungry or those who arrived more toward the unch end of brunch, and a wide variety of J,GoB-catered desserts. Drinks included coffee, tea, juices and soft drinks, and while there were plates provided, there were also wee picnic-basket-shaped trays for carrying things back to your seat, wherever that might be.

A space had been cleared for dancing, if people cared to do more than just listen to the light music being played through the speakers, and there was also an area set aside for outdoor games of croquet, horseshoes, or frisbee.

Everybody's welcome. Come celebrate with the Class of '09!

[OOC: Wait for the OCD. Don't make Eliza Doolittle have to cut a bitch. OPEN! And no one had to get cut! It's a good day!]

"I know that one, dude. I hate bein' locked up all the time."

In Murdock's case, it wasn't just a metaphor.

"What? Jaina's here?" John looked past Nancy, knowing he had a lot to apologize for. "Wait, fake?"

"No, no, that's someone who can take you from one place to another very quickly," Lee said. Oh, Toby.

"You mean I'm the guy whose been responsible for opressing people all this years?" Jamie asked. "Wow is my face red."

"No, she stalked off. I guess she's jealous of us," she replied, picking some fruit off Dave's abandoned plate. "I think she wants to sleep with you."

There was a pirate. Talking to him about being dead.

"...noooo," Steve said, very slowly. "I don't think I was. I think being dead is the sort of thing I would have noticed."

"What the hell, Nancy! She does sleep with me," John hissed. "What did you tell her?"

"I'm glad you enjoyed the show," Jamie said opening up his arms for said hug. "And... yeah. Janice gave me a little mutant tattoo healing love yesterday."

"Johnny, come on, you don't have to lie," Nancy shrugged. "Gavin told me how you guys were a thing and Jane was your beard." She believed the story she liked best.

"Oh. Just looking for familiar faces," Marty chuckled. "Was I that obvious?"

"Well I can take them off again if that would help."

Cue facepalm.

"Let's see. Thinking before I speak. Yeah. That would be good."

Because I could not stop for Death...

"No," Adah lightly shook her head. "Nothing. He knows this, too."

Turtle was just going to ignore the crazy comment.

"Oh, you know. 'Hey, Turtle; know that big pile of cash you've help me earn? I don't want it anymore, thanks.'"

"First, I'm John and she's Jaina, it's not that difficult to remember," John was a bit done. "Second, Gavin was fucking with you. Third, tell Dave I had to go and I'll call him later about bringing the woman I love for a visit."

He stood to leave but turned just to make sure Nancy wasn't confused before he headed out of the park. "By the way, I meant Jaina with that third thing."

"I mean, more than usual." Alanna informed him. "A lot of you ran naked during the Principal's speech!"

"Plus a couple of old familiar faces we can show Abby off too," Marty grinned. "Okay. Moment of self-reflection over. I can ignore the unfamiliar people."

"I want him to come back," he told her. "He belongs at home. His mother needs him."

"Of course I did," Jamie replied. "I was the invasion of naked Jamies. I don't understand why the senior class didn't attack me."

Mac smiled, nodding happily at that. "I'll have to call her sometime, let her know I survived graduation, and everything."

"I'll actually be back out in California soon, so I might get to drop in on you guys a bit more."
