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!

"LEE! LEE!" Toby rushed to his friend's side, hastily dressed and panting from the run to the park.

"Toby, what's wrong?" Lee asked, frowning. "What's happened?"

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[always-damp.livejournal.com]

Toby's words all ran together as he tried to explain as fast as he could. "Lee! It's Kevin. He like, came to me in a dream or something because he totes disappeared after he came and O-M-G he is being held prisoner or something and I have to help him!"

"Kevin?" Lee repeated. "Ex boyfriend douchebag Kevin? How are you going to help him? Is he here?"

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[always-damp.livejournal.com]

"Dude, he is not a douchebag! I love him!" Oh Toby.

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"He's a douchebag," Lee insisted. "No matter what. Is he here?"

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

"He was! I think he's back in the Cove! You have to help me get back there!"

Toby's voice was abusing human levels of worry and fear.

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"I don't know where the Cove is," Lee said, trying to remain calm. "How can I help you?"

"Dude, I don't know! Should I run into the ocean and try to stay underwater for long periods of time, hoping I wake up back on their shore?"

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"But what if you just drown?" Lee asked.

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[always-damp.livejournal.com]

Toby paused. "That would suck. How do I not drown?"

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Can you catch a portal back there?" Lee asked. "Catch a plane?"

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[always-damp.livejournal.com]

"I so don't know," Toby admitted. "Like Kevin and I both came from the ocean and like, so did Adam when he visited, which was sorta weird, I guess." Adam had come by portal. Toby was just an idiot.

"What state is your home in?" Lee tried.

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[always-damp.livejournal.com]

"Canada," Toby answered. "It's like Maine, but also like Hawaii."

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Right." Wow. "Okay. Can you call someone from home? And get them to come get you?"

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[always-damp.livejournal.com]

Toby considered this. "Maybe. I could try calling Adam."

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"You diving into the ocean without knowing if it'd work concerns me," Lee admitted. "So, try calling Adam and see what he says."

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[always-damp.livejournal.com]

"Okay, but Lee, I have to get back there like, yesterday," Toby fretted. "He needs my help!"

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"But I don't see how!" Lee said, shrugging. "If you jump into the ocean and drown, then Kevin's not going to get help. Do you know any teleporters?"

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[always-damp.livejournal.com]

"Is that a cell phone?" Toby wondered, confused.

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

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

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[always-damp.livejournal.com]

"Oh right, dude, could that be how Kevin got in the bathroom?"

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Could be," Lee said, nodding. "Did he say anything?"

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[always-damp.livejournal.com]

"He was wearing some bracelet that bound him to Bro and he said he was learning magic and he needed me to save him." Toby could save Lee from hearing about the awesome sex they'd had.
