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!

"Agreed," he nodded. "It will be tough getting used to some people being gone," he added a bit quietly.

Turtle sucked in a little bit of a breath at that. It was like he knew, but she wasn't going to be baited into talking about it.

"Yeah," she said, nodding, and deftly averted focus to business. "We'll have to do a lot of hiring in the new semester."

"So I was anticipating," he nods. "I was also considering a possible shift change for myself. Perhaps even a little vacation."

Turtle's eyebrows almost lifted off her face. "Really?" she asked. "Where? When? For how long?"

That could...actually be a good thing. With G'Kar on vacation, she'd be forced to throw herself entirely into her work, which, of course, was a completely healthy coping method.

Something about how she jumped on that... hrm. "A week, perhaps a little longer. I haven't exactly decided yet. And it would be around the beginning of next month or so." while mun does crazy moving games wheee

Turtle nodded. "You've definitely deserved it."

"If you say so," he grinned. "Hopefully by then we'll be back up to a full employee complement."

"That would be great," Turtle smiled a little. "I'm really excited to see what kind of new students the summer will bring."

"As am I. I am looking forward to meeting all kinds of new people."
