It's a nice day for a picnic

Who: You
Where: The Park
When: Day 45

If you want to skip to playing, tl;dr, there’s a party in the park and you’re invited! Complete with lots of food and alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks!

Setting

Today you’ve been invited by mass text to come to the park and hang out for an outdoor party. Thanks to the efforts of Hurricane, Mori, Sanguine, Hiryuu and B, the party setting is decorated cutely, with tables hauled out onto the grass laden with all kinds of food, and the various activity areas are labeled and ready to use! The sun is shining, there’s a light breeze, and there’s plenty of shady benches to lounge around and eat or hang out at between or instead of the provided entertainment.

Consumables

Thanks to Silk, Phoenix, Hiryuu, and B as well as all the generous contributors, there is so much food! A giant pot of Taro soup, fancy salads, a whole lot of meat in various forms (including barbeque), and some deliciously prepared vegetables; roasted, steamed, fried or other. There are fruits, dips, things for dipping in dips, and just a variety of mouth-watering delights.

For dessert there’s a prominent fruit salad, with a whole mountain of cookies and cupcakes on either side.

Of the beverage options, sodas, tea, coffee, juices, and a whole lot of alcohol are available. There’s even a fruit punch that may start the party innocent but will definitely end the party spiked, possibly multiple times. Maybe you’re responsible for it?

Since much of the food has been embiggened so there’s more to go around, there’s a little tray of rations shrunk to single bite size, for convenience, with a placard warning that you should only eat one, as it will still act like a full meal at any size.

Finally, there’s a table of potions! Actually teapots with the labels: sparkles, nekomimi (if you don’t know what that means why not take a gamble?), palette swap (enjoy your new color scheme), SFX (want your own sound effects?), and squeaker (enjoy your helium voice). There are small teacups with which to pour and consume your intended potion adventure.

Entertainment

Sports
Gold has lent the effort some volleyballs! There’s a large area for playing around with whatever kind of ball game you want to try, and you can assume you get a Get Hype boost from Cobalt if you want to really take your game to another level! Maybe do some racing?

At some point in the afternoon will be a three-legged race so maybe you want a partner for that!

Also speaking of racing;

Motorcycles
Sanguine and Phoenix will be offering rides to those interested, and you might catch a motorcycle race with those who own them! Maybe it’ll be good for placing bets!

Pinata
A more low-key attraction is a massive pinata in the shape of a dragon, with blindfolds and sticks (that may have once been the legs of chairs) as bats, ready for people to beat the literal candy out of it.

Games
Are you into card games? H has some tables set up for card games of various types. Also, for betting on card games of various types.

Or maybe you’d rather play a game refereed by King? Watch out though, he takes it really seriously, so you had better do your best.

Sparring
If you’re into other physical outlets, there’s an area left open for those who want to spar! Abi will be around ready to wrestle any challengers, but you’re also free to start your own friendly brawls! At least, try to keep them friendly, this a family event.

Music
Sanguine’s set up some chairs and cushions and there’s a little area to the side where Sanguine, Phoenix, and anyone with an instrument, a voice, or even a music app, can spend time providing the background melodies or rock out or whatever you want, really. At least through part of the day Sanguine or Phoenix or both will be playing guitar here, so expect a variety of music styles from rock to pop to more classical.

And if you don't want to sing our drag out an instrument, maybe you'd like to start an impromptu rap battle or poetry reading, to spice it up.

Arts and Crafts
Angel has set up a table with glitter, paper, scissors, glue sticks, paints, and all the other things you need to make crafts for fun. She's also teaching origami to anyone interested, and who isn't interested in learning to fold paper birds from Angel?

Free rein

Naturally you are free to engage or handwave things happening that are mentioned in the above, though ping a player to let them know if you handwave having interacted with them! If your character brings something else or does something not listed here that’s also perfectly good and the whole point is to have fun.

These are all just things to do, your character can naturally do something completely different!

[Eyeing the game selection there]

Which one are you best at?
rollwillpowercheck: (Aren't I an INVISIBLE dragon now?)

[personal profile] rollwillpowercheck 2018-10-08 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Out of these, you mean? Hm...

[CONSIDERS THIS QUESTION]
bluescreenwhitedragon: ([Ira-Ira] Hand pron)

[personal profile] bluescreenwhitedragon 2018-10-09 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. Out of those.

[So he can challenge you to it, you fool!]
rollwillpowercheck: (Magical items… hip with the kids.)

[personal profile] rollwillpowercheck 2018-10-09 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
[well obviously.

but regardless of the real answer is that he's going to grab Castle Panic.

because it's co-op.]

Hm, actually, what about this one? I actually haven't had a chance to play all of them yet.
bluescreenwhitedragon: ([Ira-ira] I don't care)

[personal profile] bluescreenwhitedragon 2018-10-09 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
[What the fuck is a co-op game?! Is it like a tag duel? Can you eat it?]

Fine. Whatever. How do you play?
rollwillpowercheck: (He nods in Elvish.)

[personal profile] rollwillpowercheck 2018-10-09 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
It's basically a kind of tower defense game where the players have to protect their castle from attacking monsters. It's pretty RNG-heavy...

[EXPLAINS.]

[What's this about a 'Master Slayer' title? That's technically winning!!!]

So you prefer games of luck over games of skill?
rollwillpowercheck: (Is the T-Rex still hiding behind it?)

[personal profile] rollwillpowercheck 2018-10-12 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
None of these games are strictly what I prefer, actually? But I picked them with my unit in mind. I didn't want to get too competitive or complicated.

If I had to choose, I'd say I prefer games that are a mix of both.

[personal profile] bluescreenwhitedragon 2018-10-13 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Fair. Considering who is on his unit...]

So then what is your actual game of choice?
rollwillpowercheck: (Thank you for visiting my GHOST factory!)

[personal profile] rollwillpowercheck 2018-10-13 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
You ask that like I don't only have one memory. But... story-based TRPGs, I think.
bluescreenwhitedragon: ([DEATH-T] Game Start)

[personal profile] bluescreenwhitedragon 2018-10-14 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? You've still only got the one?

[Seems to be a pattern with the ygos]
rollwillpowercheck: (Aren't I an INVISIBLE dragon now?)

[personal profile] rollwillpowercheck 2018-10-14 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[shrugs]

More important things always seem to come up.
bluescreenwhitedragon: ([Smirk] Mediocrity)

[personal profile] bluescreenwhitedragon 2018-10-15 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
Right?

Have you gotten the full SensitIV power set yet?
rollwillpowercheck: (Zombies are a renewable resource.)

[personal profile] rollwillpowercheck 2018-10-15 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[shakes his head]

I haven't. I have enough points for it, but I'm considering a room upgrade instead.
rollwillpowercheck: (He nods in Elvish.)

[personal profile] rollwillpowercheck 2018-10-16 02:02 pm (UTC)(link)
A desk and more room for books, a window... I haven't planned it all out yet, honestly. It's just not very welcoming right now.
bluescreenwhitedragon: ([Ira-ira] I don't care)

[personal profile] bluescreenwhitedragon 2018-10-17 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Really? I thought it was better than most of the dorms I've been in.

Bloody decorations aside.
rollwillpowercheck: (Is the T-Rex still hiding behind it?)

[personal profile] rollwillpowercheck 2018-10-17 01:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, it is. The common room, at least, especially since Perseophone-san upgraded it. But our individual rooms are sort of small and dark... plus the bloody decorations.
