fandomtownies | 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!

[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!]

"A doctor with ulterior motives is a poor doctor by definition," Adah noted. "Another reason why viruses can be preferable: their motives are pretty straightfoward and to the point."

"Poor in execution, but not in skill," Alice decided. "Which isn't quite the same thing. How are viruses interesting, if they are straightforward and direct?"

"A human body," Adah explained, "is made up of millions of different pieces and parts, cells and chromosomes, blood, tissue, muscle, bone. Complex organs and nerve functions and synapse responses. Variety, shape, size, color. A virus can be just as varietal, but it microscopic, unseen, and incredibly more simple. Yet it could wipe a human body out in the blink of an eye. It could also wipe it out in a slow, painful dirge of death, a march of highlighting that each one of those complicated systems can go very wrong in very awful ways...And there are millions of them, far more than humans."

"The ways I know to kill are much larger," Alice mused. "Sharp objects, or blunt ones, or projectiles."

Adah nodded a little, as if in agreement that those were, indeed, large ways to kill.

"And mine are much more subtle."

She liked subtle.

"Does that help you evade detection?" Alice asked. "I've never been good with subtlety myself."

"It would be excellent for evading detection," Adah mused. "You could manage to be utterly and completely gone before they realized what hit them."
