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.

I do.

[ibreakrules]

As do I.

[magnetic_magpie]

I'm aware. I'm glad he has someone looking out for him.

[ibreakrules]

Needs it. Certainly doesn't look out for himself. At least not the way he should.

[magnetic_magpie]

I'm aware. I'm not sure how to show in that - I was married at his age.

[ibreakrules]

[Frau nearly chokes.]

Seriously?

[Of course, he wad dead at Kevin's age...]

[magnetic_magpie]

Yes.

[Didn't you children have grandparents?]

[ibreakrules]

[Nope. He didn't even have parents.]

[Frau pops the tab on his can of pop and is content to just stand quietly.]

[magnetic_magpie]

[Oy vey kids.]

[As is Magneto - he's a bit on edge today from being 'in public'.]

[ibreakrules]

Gotta admit, he doesn't throw a bad party.

[magnetic_magpie]

American Southern Hospitality at work.

[ibreakrules]

Huh?

[No, Frau not from America. He's never heard of it.]

[magnetic_magpie]

Kevin's birthplace. This

[He motions around.]

Is part of his culture.

[ibreakrules]

[Frau glances around.]

Seriously?

[For Frau, any type of huge meeting like this was a bad thing, and that included when he was at the church.]

[magnetic_magpie]

Yes. Celebrate - or create something to celebrate with cooking and baking. For the most part, it's a very warm culture.

[The South could be extremely violent and intolerant but he didn't want to get into that right now.]

[ibreakrules]

Huh.

[Yeah, Frau still finds this very odd. They don't do a lot of spontaneous celebrating where he's from. It's all usually for a planned out day.]
