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.

[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.

[recitings]

It seems like it, judging from that spread. [He smiles at the person speaking to him.]

Nice to meet you, Bruce. I'm Genesis.

[hulkbusted]

I think I can honestly say I've never met anyone named Genesis before. Is there a story to it?

[recitings]

To be honest, I thought there was nothing special to my name considering that I was but an only son. I'm actually the first of a handful of super soldiers.

I've put that all past me now. [He chuckles, trying to keep the conversation light.]

[hulkbusted]

[Ohh-kay then. The super soldier thing actually strikes way too close to home, but it isn't really good barbecue talk. Bruce files it away for later.]

It has a ring to it. I mean it's no Deadpool [he casts a wry smile in Deadpool's direction] but it's memorable.

Can I get you anything? We can just roll you out of here when Kevin's done feeding everyone.

[recitings]

[He looks over at the man who seems to be always covered... in...]

... what is he wearing, anyway?

[His face scrunches up a bit, like some kind of fashion critic. Then he shrugs.]

What do you guys have to drink?

[hulkbusted]

[Bruce follows Genesis' glance and shrugs.]

You'd have to ask him.

I can get you just about anything. Kevin takes the southern hospitality thing very seriously. How about sweet tea? You have to try it at least once unless you're diabetic.

[recitings]

Southern hospitality...? I'm sorry-- I'm not familiar with that expression. [He chuckles a bit.] But I would like to try that sweet tea.

[hulkbusted]

I guess it's an American thing. Southern hospitality has the connotation that your host will give you the shirt of his back if you need it, all while feeding you and asking when you're going to have kids.

[A laugh] Maybe not the kids part. Let me get you some of the tea, but I warn you, the "sweet" isn't misleading.

[Small have a glass of delicious liquid sugar. How do southerners live past 40?]

[recitings]

I see... I don't come from this world, so there's still a lot for me to be acquainted with. Hm. That sounds like an extreme form of hospitality. It's impressive.

[He chuckles, and accepts the glass with a soft word of thanks. He sips it-- and then he looks at Bruce funny.]

... that "sweet" is overpowering. It's delicious but... [He laughs.] I think this small glass will be enough for me.

[hulkbusted]

[Bruce smiles a little and it looks almost smug and almost apologetic.]

Now you've tried a regional delicacy where I'm from. That's not bad. Some regional delicacies are served still moving.

[recitings]

... I'd probably decline an offer of any of those.
