Picnic time!

[southernreaper]

Who: Kevin, Bruce, Mimsy and all the invitees
When: Sunday August 5th Noon - ?
Where: Kevin and Bruce's pad.
Summary: Kevin invited some people for a picnic/barbecue thing, hopefully they all stop by.
Warnings: Kevin's temper, possibly Crowley/Magneto, Miss Unohana smiling. Will add others as necessary.

Kevin has spent the last couple of days cooking, baking and cleaning the house with Mimsy and Bruce's help.

He's moved everything outside and will be manning the grill, and making sure that everything is nice and ready.

Some foods on offer:

Typical grill fare (burgers, dogs, sausages, chicken)
Corn on the cob (on the grill!)
Salads (macaroni, potato, three bean, regular lettuce salad, egg, tuna, and chicken)
Fresh vegetables with dip
Fried okra
Greens
Potatoes au gratin
Eggplant lasagna
Fried fish and hushpuppies
Pies/cobblers (blackberry, strawberry/rhubarb, apple cobbler w/streusel topping, blueberry, pecan pie)
Cakes/cupcakes (devil's food, carrot, vanilla)

All buns/breads are homemade, by Kevin as are all the desserts. There are two huge tables of food with paper plates. There are three coolers of drinks (one saved for alcoholic drinks brought by the guests). Mimsy is trolling for food, Kevin's wearing an inhibitor, and all are welcome!

Anyone who fights will be asked to leave and then removed. Kevin's in a mood, and just wants to have fun.

Comments

By the grill

[the_dead_pool2]

[He decided to just bring himself a 2-4, that should be doable. He enjoyed food that he didn't have to prepare for himself, for some reason it always tasted better]

Yo, Kevfo! Whats going on?

[southernreaper]

[Kevin nudges Mimsy out of the way. She trots over to sniff at the new person. Who did not bring bacon which makes her a SAD PUPPY.

UNLOVED SHE IS.]

Hey, Deadpool. Jus' keepin' the grill goin'. How 'bout you?

[hulkbusted]

[Peeking out the window, Deadpool's kind of hard to miss, so Bruce comes out of the kitchen.]

So now we meet face to face. Or face to mask.

Lurking in the kitchen

[hulkbusted]

[He's trying to be sociable, but isn't feeling all that up to it all things considered, so he's in the kitchen, puttering and cleaning up.]

Jesus, Kevin, did you invite an army? I'm not usually one for armies.

[southernreaper]

[Kevin comes in, looking for a pack of hot dogs. Then, he smiles a bit.]

Not an army, 'bout ten people, they might bring guests. 'Sides, ya always cook enough fer folks to take some home with 'em.

[recitings]

[Genesis had brought along one of his housemates (ooc: still being decided on), but he seems quite in the mood to mingle-- and he's quite impressed by the array of food laid out for everyone.]

Quite a party this is.

[southernreaper]

Afternoon, Mr. Genesis.

[Kevin has a drink, but no food. And a Mimsy. Who has to sniff Genesis's shoes. Because he is NEW AND SHINY.]

[hulkbusted]

[After coming out to meet Deadpool, Bruce has to at least do the "Hi, I live here and I'm not an utter antisocial jerk" introductions.]

Kevin seems determined to feed most of Siren's Port today.

Hi, I'm Bruce. I'm Kevin's roommate.

[replicamodel]

[Said housemate is currently standing off to the side looking a little out of place.]

Uh, yeah!

So... what we do?

[ibreakrules]

[Considering Frau is Kevin's unofficial test subject when it comes to food, there is no doubt Frau would be around for this. He'd dragged Teito with him then released his constant vigilance on the kid. There isn't too much to get into trouble here. He hopes. With a grin, he heads over to Kevin.]

Hey, Casper. Looks like you've been busy.

[southernreaper]

[Kevin hadn't seen Frau arrive, being busy with the grill and cooking and stuff.]

Would ya break up that burger fer Mimsy, yer Excellency an' put it down fer her?

[Because there are people here that Kevin really does not want to hear that nickname, because they'd use it against him.]

[hulkbusted]

[Circulating through the party because, well, he lives here, Bruce will find Frau at some point.]

Hi, I'm Bruce. You doing okay here? Need anything to drink?

All day!

[magnetic_magpie]

[He'd brought himself four beers. At noon he was sipping one, the rest in the cooler. He wasn't sure he'd drink them all but this way, he didn't need to worry about it.

He's a bit banged up - ribs taped for comfort, foundation expertly (so nearly invisibly) applied and covering yellow bruises, clothing carefully tailored to hide the tape. He's moving a bit stiffly but otherwise he appears well.]

[hulkbusted]

Eli. [He pulls up a chair to sit next to Eli.] Thanks for your help the other day.

[ibreakrules]

[After seeing that Kevin is handling things well enough and Teito has so far not gotten himself into too much trouble, Frau starts wandering the party. He doesn't know many people, but he does know someone.]

Hey. Haven't seen you in awhile.

[southernreaper]

Howdy.

[He'd avoided Magneto until later in the day. Now, he's just got an iced tea, and finds a place to sit. Mimsy is sacked out under the table.]

This is my lawnchair, this is my beer.

[doctor_mccoy]

[It's later in the afternoon by the time McCoy shows up, he thought about just heading home but he has some manners left, and you don't just ignore Southern hospitality. Besides, Kevin had been nothing but helpful, and he's starting to feel guilty for constantly blowing his invitations off.

He brought a six pack of some of the least-awful beer he could find at the convenience store near by, and one of those "as seen on tv" stuffing-free dog toys that had been hanging up near the register. Dogs and BBQ's were never a good mix.]

This is your host.

[southernreaper]

[Kevin is glad McCoy showed up. Some folks just didn't get Southern hospitality. He's finally stopped cooking - mainly because he was told to - and is sitting in a lawnchair under a tree.

Mimsy is sprawled on her back in a food coma. But she perks up. HELLO NEW PERSON! YOU ARE A NEW PERSON AND I WILL SMELL YOUR SHOES. Which she proceeds to do with puppy enthusiasm. DID YOU BRING BACON?!

Kevin does not give his dog bacon. Ever. Not since that one time. He still swears the smell lingers.]

Afternoon, Doc. Pull up a chair an' a plate. Glad ya could make it.

This is for sitting, this is for fun?

[hulkbusted]

Leonard. How did Kevin arm wrestle you out?

All day, can be found milling about anywhere.

[calm_tempest]

[It's a strange bit of normalcy, if that even makes sense. Just a few days ago, more Newcomers had been hunted, and the grounds had been attacked in retribution. And yet here she is at Kevin's for a barbecue.

[Retsu would be lying to herself if she said that she doesn't have more than one reason to come here. She would have come regardless, because she's fond of Kevin. But in this case, she's quite concerned for him as well.

[She'd never seen him so blithe about the possibility of using his power deliberately to kill before. It's her hope that the statements had been a fit of temper, but she'll be instinctively watching for signs otherwise today. It's not a matter of conscious thought.

[But she's friendly and approachable as always, sampling as many of the different foods as she can. Truly, it's good to see so many people here. Kevin needs to have friends in his life.]

[hulkbusted]

[He's mingling, dammit, which includes approaching the only woman he's seen at the party so far.]

Looks like you've found Kevin's spread. He really went all out for this.

Is there anything I can get for you? My name's Bruce, I live here.

[southernreaper]

[Kevin is finally away from the grill. Because he was told to. He didn't even know by whom. Maybe Mimsy had done it. Instead of worrying about it, he picked up a couple glasses of ice tea and found Miss Unohana. He is so glad she came. It's nice to have her around.]

Howdy Miss Unohana.

Later

[magnetic_magpie]

[Guess who just rounded a corner?]

Unohana. Hello.

[He's going to pretend he's uninjured and we are going with that right? Right?

Please?]

[cracked_container]

[After having eaten a rather sparing plate, Teito wandered around for a bit - though the only people he really knew were Frau and Kevin. Frau was talking to some old man and Kevin was busy with the grill... so Teito decided to make himself useful by wandering the area and picking up discarded or dropped plates and cups.

It only takes a moment though, before he finally finds a quiet place to simply sit and watch all of the people milling about, legs crossed and elbows resting on his knees in a comfortable slouch.]

[southernreaper]

[Mimsy is still trolling for bacon. There must be bacon, somewhere. SOMEONE HAS BACON AND SHE WILL FIND IT.

Nose to the ground, she finds someone who smells like not!Daddy. She wanders over and plops her but on the ground in front of him, studying him. Her tongue flops out of the side of her mouth.

HELLO!]
