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

[loverlyviolets]

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!

"Hmm..."

Triela was totally convinced.

Really.

"But? I could offer my assistance here. I think the term you're looking for is short-sheeted."

Amber was nice like that.

...she was also a sneaky little dork and knew Triela knew it was her.

Re: Mingling

Triela laughed. "Ah. Very descriptive."

Re: Mingling

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"I think so too," she said, giggling.

Re: Mingling

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"You know the strangest things, Amber." This from the girl who killed people for a living.

Re: Mingling

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Hey, useful knowledge is useful," she said.

Re: Mingling

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"True, but I'm not yet convinced that short-sheeting is terribly useful."

Re: Mingling

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Well, let's consider that. What did you do when you found out your sheets were shorted?"

Re: Mingling

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"I fixed them."

Re: Mingling

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Did you... cuss?"

Re: Mingling

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

Triela raised an amused eyebrow. "Amber, do you think I ever cuss?"

Re: Mingling

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"I've never heard you, no," she said with a little sigh.

"Did you threaten to catch the prankster?"

Re: Mingling

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

Triela's eyebrow rose even higher in amusement. "As if I didn't know who it was all along?"

Re: Mingling

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Amber started nodding. "I know, right? Students around here... so many of them like to prank and tease."

Re: Mingling

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"And one such person has easy access to my room." What with being her roommate and all.

Re: Mingling

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

She bit her lip to keep from giggling. "And that one person never ever considered putting hair dye in your shampoo. Never."

Re: Mingling

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"That," Triela said after a moment to get her wide-eyed stare under control, "is probably because that person does not have a deathwish." Because, really, her hair.

Re: Mingling

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Death?" Amber shuddered dramatically. "Ouch. That would suck." Yes, even Amber was envious of Triela's hair.

Re: Mingling

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Yes. It would be a tragedy."

Re: Mingling

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"A terrible tragedy. Someone might actually mourn the prankster."

A beat. A little grin.

"Woe."

Re: Mingling

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure someone would. Maybe he or she has a roommate."

Re: Mingling

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Quite possibly," she snickered.

Then she stuck her tongue out at her.

Re: Mingling

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"And maybe that roommate would be sad at their loss. Assuming, of course, that said roommate wasn't always getting pranked or something."

Re: Mingling

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Oh, yah, of course. Sad and maybe even whiny."

Re: Mingling

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Whiny!" Triela objected, breaking out of the little game.
