Prim Nautical Picnic

PRIM NAUTICAL PICNIC
what's up? Today, Holland and Valkyrie are hosting a lovely picnic by the lake, themed with anchors, sea shells and motifs of sea creatures. It's all of a romantic, bygone era. Large umbrellas shade the picnickers, who can lounge on pillows as they enjoy their lunch and mocktails.

It has not descended into chaos.

Yet.
visuals!

volunteer slots! [Volunteer A] tries to step out onto one of the rowboats, but it slips out from underneath them! They're stuck in the splits for a moment before topping into the water.

[Volunteer B] tries their best to get into a rowboat with a cute classmate, but instead ends up stuck on the lake with a freshman distraught because [Volunteer C] won't go to homecoming with them. Any advice on how to get them to say yes? Hitting them in the back of the neck with a spitball didn't work.

[Volunteer D] can't seem to keep these wasps away from their danish! Shoo!
pairings list!
  • Holland & Merlin
  • Armani & Valkyrie
  • Jupiter & Freya
  • Audrey & Lionel

Please feel free to play out other boat rides as well!
how this works! Although Holland and Val mostly invited their friends, anyone can join in. Val will pretend she's fine with it.

Snacks were provided by Jupiter, who promised they'd be "like normal."

There are three mocktails to choose from!
  • Salty Dog: honestly just grapefruit juice with a salt/sugar rim and a lime slice.
  • Royal Regatta: apple juice, elderflower and rose pressé, and mint leaves
  • Blue Lagoon: non-alcoholic curacao syrup, club soda, lemon juice, simple syrup, crushed ginger, mint
You can do boat scenes with whomever, don't feel like the pairing list we generated are the only people who can touch the boats!

Today is partly cloudy, and you might want to bring a light jacket! Themed outfits are encouraged.

If you monsters start racing boats I'll try to RNG times.
locations! The Picnic: Lounge on the blankets and pillows with a little bit to eat!

The Boats: Enjoy a leisurely romantic rowboat ride, or maybe try to tip over someone else's boat, or race your friends. It's the wild west out on the water.

OOC - QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS!

Wyatt ought to be at least a little worried when she gets that look in her eye, but no one has ever accused him of being wise. "Is that, like — are we starting or just prepping?"

Mary Grace smashes the six sandwiches down under her hand, flattening the cute hors d'oeuvres to half their size, and looks directly at Wyatt as she shoves them in the right half of her mouth.

Wyatt barks out a laugh. "Shoot, that's cheating," he says, but he doesn't sound upset. He makes a show of shaking out his shoulders, opening his mouth wide, stretching out his jaw. He carefully picks up one of the little sandwiches and shoves it in the space above his upper right molars, above the gums. He repeats this on the upper left, lower left, and lower right. When he's done, he looks extremely chipmunk-cheeked, or perhaps swollen like he had all his wisdom teeth out at once. Then he takes two sandwiches and wads them up, tucking them under his tongue. He looks positively ridiculous, but he has left the main cavity of his mouth as yet free for more sandwiches.
