Sure, it was hot as hell out, but it wouldn't really be Pride if you didn't have to be constantly reminded to hydrate, would it? Besides, just like every year there was a rainbow high in the sky above the island, bold and vivid almost in an in-your-face kind of way.

Streamers in various Pride flag colors ran between trees and light fixtures all over the park, shiny rainbow confetti (easier to clean up than glitter!) was everywhere, and once again the bounce house and ballpit slide were at the center of all the activity.

Carnival games and rides, all of them queer-themed in some way, branched out from the bounce house area toward the karaoke stage where the ~~NPC~~ band made up of a bunch of wargamers from the Magpie Emporium was slated to play several sets at various points during the day (with Steph sitting in on drums for a little bit of each set). The barbecue grills in the picnic area were ready to use for anyone who wanted to make their own food, and the vendor tables and booths were set up nearby for the local businesses who'd be participating.

Things might be a little less organized this year, but in Steph's defense she didn't have as much help with the heavy lifting and last-minute details as usual since Vi was a tiny hyperactive kitty right now. Still. She'd done this enough by now to have A System, damn it.

Enjoy your laid back and entirely corporate-free Pride, Fandom!

[OOC: I, meanwhile, am much less organized this year. Sigh. Threads are up! Go forth!]

"Two mimosas, please," Steve said. "Tony's manning the booth."

"Comin' right up!" Raiden agreed. "Do I need to make yours the size of your head?" Supermimosa for a supersoldier? "I have cups for that."

"I'm not going to say no," Steve said with a grin as his shins were barreled into by a corgi with a rainbow cape. "Hello, Patty."

Raiden leaned over the booth to see Patriot. "Who's the cutest little guy?" he asked him, and then asked Steve, "Can he have a piece of sausage?"

Patriot definitely knew the word sausage and was using his puppy eyes to finagle maybe two pieces of sausage from Raiden. "He certainly can," Steve said. "This is Patriot."

"Aw, hey, buddy," Raiden said, leaning over the booth to offer Patriot a piece of sausage. "Your dad said you can have this." Raiden gave credit where credit was due.

"This will make you one of his favorite people," Steve told him with a smile. "Not that he has a lot of nemeses."
