Picnic




Ahh, what a beautiful day. The sun is shining, the flying animals of your choice are making their noises, and the sky is, presumably, as blue as can be. Finally, a break from this awful weather! And you know what else? It's a perfect day for a picnic with your honey (or hopefully soon to be honey). There's nothing quite as romantic as a well-executed picnic, so if you want to make an impression or just have a good time, break out the food under the shade of a tree. The best part is that a picnic can be as unique as you two are: a beautiful spread on top of a blanket, burgers grabbed from the drive-through and eaten with your legs dangling from the backseat, or a heart meal of venison one of you hunted while you sit on the bodies of your enemies. All that's required is to enjoy the food and the peaceful time together.

Of course, just because the idea is romantic doesn't mean it has to play out exactly that way. Maybe this is your first date and both of you are worried about what will come next - or one of you doesn't realize this is a date. Maybe one of you was dragged here against your will. Hey, have you heard about that swarm of Africanized killer bees? I hope they don't ruin your day. Isn't that your romantic rival? They're challenging you to a duel? And who are those kids in that green van, screaming about ghosts...?

Ahh, what a wonderful day for a picnic.

HOW TO PLAY
  • Comment with your character and preferences in the subject line. Ideas, other info, and anything else can go in the body. You might want to put if your character is the one surprised, the one who planned the picnic, the one being dragged here unwillingly and being a grumpy gus, etc.
  • Reply to others.
  • Feel be to be as serious, as fluffy, or as goofy as you'd like.
