Strawberry Social - The Park, all day

Vida had gotten an early start in the park to set things up for the Strawberry Social. It had been chilly and damp when she arrived, but a stern glare at the clouds had sent them fleeing, and the sun was shining over the park now, making for a bright and sunny day. There was danceable music playing and plenty of places to stretch out and enjoy the sun.

Several picnic tables were laid end to end, covered with red table cloths and adorned with edible arrangements. There were plates to load up with food, which was available in plenty, including just about every strawberry dish imaginable. Vida had also thoughtfully provided red flowers to tuck in the hair and red scarves for those who might be feeling red-deficient.

Don't worry, you won't be tossed out for not wearing red.

There were typical picnic fixings, salads and chips and grillables, as well as just about every strawberry dessert you could think of. Fresh strawberries (http://i36.tinypic.com/2445d3r.jpg), of course, as well as chocloate-covered strawberries (http://i33.tinypic.com/30l1ibo.jpg), strawberry ice cream (http://i36.tinypic.com/2b9lhx.jpg), strawberry cheesecake (http://i35.tinypic.com/2n72jhf.jpg), strawberry jello (http://i55.tinypic.com/2nsumap.jpg), strawberry parfaits (http://i37.tinypic.com/359h1zl.jpg), strawberry shortcake (http://i35.tinypic.com/2q2n9dt.jpg), strawberry tarts (http://i38.tinypic.com/jqnt3o.jpg), strawberry jam (http://i36.tinypic.com/nwzyvc.jpg), and strawberry pie (http://i34.tinypic.com/auia34.jpg).

For beverages there was strawberry lemonade (http://i38.tinypic.com/2rpb7t2.jpg), strawberry tea (http://i53.tinypic.com/6rsgt3.jpg), strawberry milkshakes (http://i37.tinypic.com/24lsykm.jpg), and strawberry soda (http://i34.tinypic.com/nb2f6q.jpg), as well as strawberry margaritas (http://i38.tinypic.com/2qdyarq.jpg), strawberry daquiris (http://i51.tinypic.com/2z3rhox.gif), strawberry beer (http://i51.tinypic.com/n8hlk.jpg), and strawberry wine (http://i38.tinypic.com/258yttf.jpg) for any who wanted to indulge.

If you so desired. Music was in the theme of "Brick House (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrBx6mAWYPU)" and "Hey Now (Girls Just Want To Have Fun) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaqeAABlH3Q)."

I want strawberries.

As if Raven could pass up an opportunity to celebrate strawberries! She'd even dug out a red top to wear, though her skirt was still black, of course.

What, and pass up a chance to enjoy the sun?

Marshall ~~was occasionally completely oblivious~~ had missed the signs, but he did notice something being set up in the park while he was out for his run that morning before class; when he came back later to see what was going on -- after a shower and a change of clothes -- he was even wearing a red t-shirt.

[I'm around all day, but I'll be back and forth some as I do housework, so if I don't ping back right away, that's why!]

Good, because Dolf only had so many clothes, and the closest to red he got was orange.

Which he wasn't wearing, because he had the fashion-consciousness of a slug. Instead he showed up in jeans and a t-shirt, hands shoved in his pockets, and eyes firmly on all the strawberries.

Mm.

It was a party and Ariel came with her own awesome red accessory. Of course she was there! And she wasn't letting the potential clash with her hair prevent her from decking herself out with a cute red dress and cute red shoes, and a distinctively excited mood to have a really good time.

If anything, it was just nice to have sunshine again, but sunshine and a shindig? Sign her up!

Angelica had plenty of red, and her hair counted for something, right? She was still a little freaked about using her powers in class earlier that week, but her teacher hadn't even batted an eye at that (except to wonder why she was apologizing to the simulated zombie), so she stayed to the edges of the crowd.

Peter didn't really own anything red, per se, but in recognition of the event he'd put on a red tie, tied schoolboy-carelessly around his neck. He had a practiced grin pasted all over his face - the party look - and he felt he was looking quite charming.

He probably wasn't as far off from the truth as he usually was about that. For once.

Oh, boy! There was sun and there was a party and Butters sure was excited to get out and enjoy it. He'd even shucked off his blue parka and replaced it with a topical red shirt for the occasion, and he sure hoped everyone was going to have a real good time.

Surreal was going to spend most of the party sampling little bits of everything, and trying to remember what it all was. Much of it was too sweet for her tastes, causing her to make faces, but she did like the tarts quite a lot.

Kate hadn't decked herself out in red, since she was fairly sure she didn't own anything bright like that. She'd made an art of blending over the years, and it was a tough habit to break.

At least she was out here, lounged out on the grass with a plate of fruit and making the most of a quick break from that endless drizzly rain.

Note to adminny types! Need tag for Kate Daniels unless I am blind. :)

Red wasn't really Sam's color but he did have a tie that was flecked with red so he'd put that one over a loose white (and untucked) dress shirt, paired it with jeans and called it a day.

Really, he was just happy to be outside without the rain hitting him in the face. It was nice to breathe fresh air and see the sun. Even if it didn't last, it made Sam less likely to think the apocalypse was coming.

It's there, it had just never been used before so one of the comm mods had to use it the first time. St00pid LJ!

Aha! If I run into that again I'll just try to enter it manually and see if it sticks. It might work if I type it exact. If not, I'll flag one of you down again to enter it. :)

Red might be a Robin color, but it wasn't entirely Stephanie's. Still, she'd conceded to the spirit of the party with a bright red windbreaker and sneakers with red stripes; Bruce always said it was important to blend in where circumstances dictated.

Plus, yum, strawberries.

Jack? Totally not wearing red.

He was however digging into a strawberry sundae. He missed having a teenager metabolism.

"Hey, it's the girl who felt obligated to introduce herself to every new student," Jack joked as he waved hello. "How's it going?"

Nathan could do red. He owned a lot of fucking red things and he looked really damn good in all of them. That's what he thought, at least. Add to that the fact that he'd never been to anything called Strawberry Social before so he figured a stop in wouldn't do him any harm.

If he got bored, he'd just leave or he'd start a food fight. One or the other. Right now, all the food looked too fucking good to throw. And when free food was presented to you, you didn't waste it.

"Hey, Sam!" Marshall said, giving a grin. "Y'know, I was starting to be afraid we'd never see the sun again?"

"I was beginning to think we were on the brink of the apocalypse," Sam joked, giving Marshall a wave when he spotted the other boy. "There weren't any horseman so I guess I was off there. How's it going, man?"

Bobby had a few red shirts so he was more than happy to follow the dress code. If he hadn't had a red shirt, he might've obsessed over not following the dress code, but luckily that little problem was avoided.

As it was, he was happily focused on enjoying as many strawberries as possible.
