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!]

Reno raised an eyebrow while he puzzled those words out. But he was getting better at it! That was a bonus!

"Yeah, it flew. I can't deny that much, yo." Deep breath. "Holy crap. I'm goin' to Edge tomorrow."

"I was Chuck Norris the other time," Reno added. Because Chuck Norris was awesome and he felt compelled to share. "It was awesome."

Romeo's joy was ever quick to blossom; let the roots he'd put down here grow strong in another soil.

"Wait, wait!" Montague could not help a small chuckle, and thump Romeo's back. "There is one thing more. Just one, that I beg of you as your father, and not as head of the House of Montague." He sighed. "That should you wish to wed again, you do so with all our kin present, before the eyes of God, in Verona. Do not deny me this, my son. Do not make a pledge in a foreign land, among strangers, in secret or without my consent." Not again.

"Yeh! At the end, in the teeny bits. I have to use a magnifying glass to see it. But it's there!"

He had to laugh. It couldn't be helped. "She didn't fall off did she?"

"I didn't--" But, she was right and he hadn't told her. He had reasons but he had opportunities too. "I had reasons."

Laaaaame.

There was more snickering. "I bet it was. Did you kick anyone's butt while you were at?" You know he had to ask. Had to.

"No, she warned me in time. Can you believe, she threatened to arrest the horse if it threw her."

"I totally kicked the shit outta a dummy at the Salle," Reno replied, proudly.

It had been fun, okay.

"An' I intimidated the money I could have been savin' by switchin' to Geico."

"What Lee did or didn't say has no bearing on whether I'm clinging to him in order to assuage my own guilt," his father said tightly, roughly. "I have no guilt over Zak's death. It wasn't my fault. But I have opinions on what Lee should do. And he should hear them."

"Dummys totally need that," he nodded and laughed. "That little dude with the creepy eyeballs?"

"As am I, in truth, cos," Romeo said thoughtfully. "Life here has, as you note, given me a world beyond that within Verona, which was the thing I needed as much as I railed against it. But Verona remains the home of my heart, and it is in Verona where I hope to raise a family and, God willing, be buried among our kin."

"Wow. I definitly gotta meet her now," he grinned. Because that sounded exactly like something he would do.

"Next time y'all go ridin', ride double. Tell her you're helpin' her to learn to ride." Wink.

"That's the one! You saw him too? I ain't losin' my mind?"

"Come on, you know that's not what I meant," she said. "Okay, maybe it was a little surprising. But it was a good surprise! Aren't you happy?"

"Well... I did see him," he nodded.

Though that didn't mean much coming from Murdock.

"I'm happy I don't have to worry about school anymore." Jess replied, focusing down on his plate for the moment. "And it was kind of nice having you here for the ceremony and everything."

"I wish you luck with it all then." It was all she could think of to say

"He won't, because it will cause him more problems that getting rid of you would solve," Yurika replied, soft yet firm. "He doesn't dislike you, Romeo, he just takes 'overprotective' to new heights."

Especially since he wasn't just protecting her, but the mission as well.

"Awww Jess, I wouldn't have missed this for the world," Liz said, sounding a little guilty. "I know I'm pretty crappy at being reliable sometimes, but this is a once in a lifetime thing! I just wish T.J. could have come so you could have gotten to meet him."

"T.J.?" Jess asked. He couldn't hide his surprise, not that he tried very hard. "You're still with him? It's been months."

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[identity profile] lizandluke.livejournal.com 2009-05-04 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
"I know, right?!" Liz said. Any insult that might have been in Jess's tone or words went right over her head. "And things between us are as good as ever. Even better! You really need to meet him, I think you guys would get along great."

Jess scoffed. "Yeah, 'cause I have such a great track record with your boyfriends," he said sarcastically.

"T.J. is ten times the man those guys ever were," Liz said.
