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!

"How would that have made any more sense?"

Because Steve had never quite learned yet how not to ask these things.

"Because of the angels, of course," Jack explained patiently. "Aren't they always flittering around the afterlife playing dull music?"

"I don't know, I've never be--"

And then Steve remembered that he was actually going along with this.

"Oh, right. You know, now that I think about it, I think I do remember angels. Yes. White robes and harps and all that nonsense. And it looks like you got stuck with the crabs. Huh. Maybe that means something."

Jack tapped his chin. "I'm not sure what yet, but I'm sure it's significant in some way. Not that I'm planning on becoming dead again any time soon. It was terribly unpleasant."

"I don't think it's really supposed to be pleasant, that's generally why they advise against being dead."

"Very true, very true," Jack agreed. "Besides 'the Immortal Jack Sparrow' has such a lovely ring to it."

"I don't know," Steve looked doubtful. "It seems a little...clunky."

"Clunky?" Jack repeated. "How so? I left off the 'captain' bit."

"...I'm not sure," Steve admitted, being very helpful but not feeling too bad about it considering he was talking to a bloody pirate. "It just is."

Jack frowned. "Is not," he replied maturely.

"Is too," said Steve, because it was sort of a must.

"Is not," Jack countered. Being louder made him right.
