The Park, Friday Afternoon/Evening

[fjordicswagger]

Tamsin had spent most of the past couple of days drinking and yelling at random Americans in the street.

She wasn't surprised by this recent bout of stupidity, but sometimes you had to vent.

... And apparently the island agreed, because she walked into the park that afternoon to find that, improbably, the sun was shining, warm and good and beautiful, down on the park. There was no rhyme or reason for it; everywhere else was cold as hell. But it was nice here.

And there was a large quantity of booze sitting under a tree.

She snagged a bottle, took a swig, turned towards the mainland, and yelled, at the top of her voice...

"SCREW YOU GUYS!"

[[ screw you guys party. open! ]]

As you do.

"... Are we yelling at America? Or, like, just the racist cis-white homophobic misogynist half?"

Sparkle could get behind that. Plus there was alcohol. And this beat what he'd been going to do tonight, which mostly involved hunting down rich white communities in Baltimore that still had their Trump signs out and causing at least minor quantities of property damage. Or, at least, it was less likely to get him in trouble, even if it was significantly less cathartic.

"Both, if you're not American," Tamsin said. She brought her bottle of wine up to her mouth and drank another mouthful. "Canada! Trudeau! Woo!"

"Take your pick." Hannibal nodded to Sparkle and offered him a bottle of his home-brew. He opened the pack he had with him to further offer a sandwich.

"You might - or might not - wish to stay away from the ones with the red marks on the butcher paper," he added congenially. "Meat has been regrettably easy to find this week."

"Gotta yell at America as a whole, really," Kitty pointed out. "Everybody's stuck with it."

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[talentforlying]

"Fuck America. May she rot from the clap!" John, no, don't encourage Sparkle.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[sharp_as_knives]

"Eloquent," Hannibal said, smirking. But notably not complaining. "As our local authority, Lady Mayor, will the island be seceding then?"

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[fjordicswagger]

"If a Republican wants to come in and take our health insurance or whatever," Tamsin said, "I'm not above stabbing."

RE: Arrive/Mingle

[throughaphase]

Kitty just happened to be in the area, and said, "Hit that stage, have we?"

Mind you, she was not against that stage one bit.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[fjordicswagger]

"I've been at this stage all week," Tamsin said, waving her bottle around. "It's easy skipping on to rage when that's mostly all you feel anyway."

"If we screw them, there will be more of them," Sam said, with a weak smile. "I understand the sentiment though."

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[fjordicswagger]

"Not if you use protection," Tamsin said dryly. "And by protection I mean 'carry a big stick'."

Re: Arrive/Mingle

It was as if John had a booze-and-trouble radar. Which, to be fair, he probably did.

"Fucking hell," he said, blinking in surprise at the change of temperature and the sight of booze. "This isn't half bad, now is it?"

Of course, he was going to grab a bottle for himself and plop himself down under a tree to start drinking. "Here's to America and her inferiority complex: Brexit was getting all the attention, so she decided to up the ante."

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[fjordicswagger]

"Like parent, like child, I guess," Tamsin said.

She sank down next to him by the tree. "Ugh."

Lucille had no problem with cold weather, but she did appreciate the warmth here, and she expected she would appreciate Dr Lecter's food too.

She did find the result of the election quite horrible, but she didn't expect much from the world generally.

She blinked at the Mayor however. And decided she would make a better president, which sadly wasn't saying much.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[fjordicswagger]

Tamsin blinked back at her, but it was more of a sarcastic gesture.

"Go drink," she said.

Jono was here, and wrapped, and quiet. There was a laundry list of reasons for all of the above, from 'Hannibal had insisted he get out of bed today' right on along to 'he'd seen what came of weeks like this before,' and if anybody wanted to talk to him, sure, he'd be off to the side, trying not to think too hard about Neverland and Fortress X.

He was tired and fully intended to get second-hand drunk. Very second-hand drunk.

Mike showed up late enough that he brought a ton of beer along with him.

That was his contribution. He immediately opened a bottle, too.

Peter...well, he tried to stay up on things, but he was still learning the internet, and he didn't have a TV, and he'd only been in this year for a few months, so...

"What are we yelling about?"

Drink!

[fjordicswagger]

There's no food, but there's plenty of moddable booze.

Re: Drink!

[rebelseekspizza]

Dante didn't even stop to say hi to the hostess. He immediately made a beeline for the drinks, snagged something that looked heavily alcoholic, and sat down.

Scream at the Mainland

[fjordicswagger]

Come on. You know you want to yell and scream right along with your mayor, who is currently bellowing increasingly creative insults at the coastline.

Other Stuff

[fjordicswagger]

For your make up your own OCD here needs.

Food!

[sharp_as_knives]

Hannibal was showing up, and he wasn't going to leave the party without something to eat.

So, there were a pile of assorted moddable sandwiches and a number of pizzas, plus a ton of finger food (most of it was all gourmet, but he knew his audience).

And there were also a number of things he'd be eating himself but not putting out for the general public, if those who knew about him wanted to join him in eating meat-of-idiot-supporters.

OOC

[fjordicswagger]

My office has a running tradition of handing out free champagne after big news events to the entire staff, as a coping slash congratulatory thing. It was yesterday. I missed it. FML.

Instead I am compiling historical US elections data today.
