Summer Picnic, Main Campfire, Friday afternoon

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

At lunchtime, the campfire area was set up with blankets, baskets, picnic tables, food, and ant problems. The groundskeeper who brought the ants was later sent home for the rest of the day. It turned out that he didn't really like picnics.

[OOC: I suck and completely forgot about this. Sorry about the relative lateness. It's a sunny and fairly comfortable day. I MOD WEATHER! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!]

"That would be mean," Rory said, lounging on the blanket. "Are you going to eat anything but cookies?"

Re: The Blankets

"Nope," Anakin answered. "Just cookies. It's been a long day."

"You were fine this morning," Rory said, frowning.

"Greg was waiting for me at Flamingo," Anakin said with a groan. "Dressed in a bathrobe. With my haircut. Wanting to be a Jedi."

Rory snorted attractively.

And then tried to keep a straight face. "Oh. I'm...sorry?"

"It's not funny," Anakin muttered. "He wouldn't take no for an answer."

He paused. "He brought a stuffed turtle with him."

"...why?"

"I told him about Yoda. He was using it to demonstrate that he was willing to give up attachments or something," Anakin said. "It was just so weird."

Re: The Blankets

Rory was back to laughing. "I'm sorry. It's...you poor thing."

Re: The Blankets

"Can I kill him now, please?" Anakin asked, peeking out from under his arm. "Or maim him a little bit?"

Re: The Blankets

"No, Isabel would be sad, but...he had your hair?"

Re: The Blankets

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Braid and ponytail," Anakin said, nodding. "Freak."

Re: The Blankets

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"How did he manage it?" Rory wondered.

Re: The Blankets

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"I wasn't in the mood to ask him for fashion tips," Anakin grumbled. "I was too busy trying to figure out what the hell he was trying to do."

Re: The Blankets

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"He wanted to be a Jedi? Did you tell him he's too old and he'd have to give up Isabel?" Rory asked, still giggling.

Re: The Blankets

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Yes," Anakin said, biting into a cookie. "He said that he'd be able to be sneaky enough to hide his relationship from the Council, especially since they're further away than Canada or New Zealand."

He gave Rory a pleading look. "Are you sure I can't kill him?"

Re: The Blankets

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Probably not," Rory said apologetically. "He sounds like he didn't mean any harm, at least."

Re: The Blankets

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"He's a banthabell solo away from being as annoying as the Temple younglings," Anakin muttered.

Re: The Blankets

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"They were so cute!"

Re: The Blankets

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Not cute," Anakin said, finishing off the cookie and reaching for another.

Re: The Blankets

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Adorable," Rory argued, moving the cookies a little away from him.

Re: The Blankets

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Not adorable early in the morning," Anakin argued, scowling. "Why'd you move the cookies?"

Re: The Blankets

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Because you should eat something better for you," Rory said. She saw no hypocrisy in this.

Re: The Blankets

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Cookies are good for me," Anakin insisted.

Re: The Blankets

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"No," Rory said, shaking her head. "You'll get pudgy and while I would lo...like a soft-and-plush Anakin just as much as I like the current model, I'd like you to stay this way."
