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!

[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!]

"Time moves a little faster back home," Luke said. "I'm a general now. You should salute me."

"Yeah, that's not going to happen," he said. "I'll salute you and then push you."

"Then I'd have to get you court martialed in a dimension where you're not eleven," Luke laughed. "Let's not do that."

"Yeah, I'd love to see you explain that," Gavin said. "Have everyone thinking you're insane."

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

Luke laughed harder. "Like they don't know that already."

"So, you're attempts at overthrowing me in that time would be for not," he decided.

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Overthrowing nothing," Luke said. "I outrank you by a lot."

"I'm better looking." This made a difference.

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"No, you're just taller."

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"And better looking," he said again. "Much better hair."

"You try finding a decent barber in the fleet," Luke replied.

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"You should cut your own hair," Gavin suggested.

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke snorted. "That seems like a really, really terrible idea."

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Do it once!" Gavin tried. "It'd be fun!" Funny. Funny.

"You first," Luke said. "Before you go back to the Rogues and tell the other Luke that you went to high school with him."

"My hair is naturally awesome," Gavin pointed out.

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, you keep telling yourself that," Luke replied.

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Don't be jealous, Lukey!" Gavin teased.

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"I don't need to be jealous," Luke said. "I'm Luke Skywalker."

So modest, he was.

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, Luke Skywalker, nectar of the gremlins," Gavin said.

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"I don't like you very much, you know," Luke lied.

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"You bad liar," Gavin said and reached over to try and muss Luke's hair.

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke let him because really, it couldn't get any sillier looking. "When do you head for home?"

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Sometime this week," he answered. "Gotta finish up some things and then off I go."

Re: Tables, Chairs, and Blankets

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"You'll be careful?" Luke replied. "I know the kind of insanity we toss the Rogues towards."
