[it's a gorgeous day today! the sun is shining, birds are singing... all in all, the beautiful outdoors are more tempting than they've ever been (which is a good thing, considering the more... reclusive nature of a few of the musebox's inhabitants).

and that is why somebody has set up a gigantic picnic! there are foods of all kinds, from savory to the sweet... although, for some reason, one end of the blanket has been taken up almost entirely with different varieties of ice cream. how strange!

enjoy yourselves, children ♥]

[...why is this ice cream blue.]

[lil_icemountain]

[I don't know but have a loli

she's staring]

[aisususu]

[who cares, it's ice cream!!!]

U-um, excuse me, niisan, c-can I maybe try some...?

[was_no_mononoke]

[... DANGO! gimme gimme gimme]

[was_no_monster]

[... DANGO!

wait

what]

[swallowedbyscreaming]

[Just... staring at all of the food, looking extremely uncomfortable. What is she supposed to do with this?]

[inshepherdscloth]

[nearby, Kiyoteru is seated with a fairly humble selection of food - some plain bread, a little meat and cheese, and a pitcher of water.

making the sign of the cross over himself, he murmurs softly]

Bless us, O Lord, and these, thy gifts, which we are about to receive from thy bounty. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

[he crosses himself again, and then picks up his bread. food tiem]

[noeyestosee.livejournal.com]

_{[is just doing her usual thing, wandering the woods and enjoying the outdoors, her stick tapping out a path along the way...]}

[was_no_mononoke]

[it's the tapping that he notices first; too loud and regular to be animal footsteps, and too obviously against the ground to be a bird or something. bad enough that it's something he doesn't know, but even more worrisome is the fact that it's coming from the direction of his woods, the ones he came from to eat some of the good-smelling things that had been put out.

...he sticks one of the dango in his mouth (just in case they're all gone before he can come back) and goes to investigate.]

[icecreamtopping]

[as awesome as being back with her boyfriend (and getting a second! ♥) is, sometimes she just has to sit and enjoy being alive. and what better way to do that than at a picnic, enjoying the feel of sun on her skin and grass tickling her legs and feet?

life is good |)]

[inshepherdscloth]

[someone else is out enjoying the sunlight, as well. it is a rare and delicious pleasure to be the one in control, feeling the sunlight on skin he can call his, instead of feeling it filtered through the priest's perception.

he could honestly just let this day go by in a lazy drift. perhaps if he shows he can be well-behaved, the priest might lower his guard, just a bit...]

lol

[inshepherdscloth]

[another picnic, another sunny day...

the same man in priest's regalia, suddenly noticing the green-haired girl from the other side of the picnic spread and choking on his drink.]

[metdroid]

[...this is a lot of food! and a lot of sunlight! yet he is not burning up :|a

...it's quite pleasant, actually |) FROLICKING]

[miraculost]

[aww there's a tinyrobot awww]

[knowtheweight]

[are there macarons here I sure hope there are macarons]

[was_no_mononoke]

[why would you care about whatever those are when there are dango! ...although he's hoarding all of them for himself]

[denkigenki]

...Wow, there's so many...

[furtively glancing around. MAYBE... MAYBE JUST ONE...]

you probably weren't expecting me

[ratatatatat]

So many what?

[whentheroserots]

[someone has thoughtfully set up a nice tea table :3 so I am sitting at it and daintily drinking tea]

[was_no_monster]

[...I feel like if I so much as bumped it I'd break everything .-.]

[crowback]

[there's a short, hooded figure with a scythe and several knapsacks strapped to their back strutting around the picnic spread and muttering to themselves in a low voice. they seem pretty interested in some of the sweets... but not as interested as they are in the silverware, all of which is rapidly disappearing into one of those pouches.]

[miraculess]

[huddling nervously under one of the trees further back from the picnic, eyeing the food with a strange mixture of fear and want. when was the last time she'd had access to this much food...?]

[darkbeforethedawn]

[not nearly as recently as this kid, who's picking through the feast with the air of someone trying to find something specific]

[heart_hidden_in_binary]

[amusing himself by stacking sets of differently colored mochi in geometric figures]

[was_no_mother]

[... that's cute :3 mochi tetris]

teeny!AU

[miraculess]

[I HAVE A HOARD >8D]

[miraculost]

[you certainly do!!]

This is all quite generous, isn't it?

[siegheulen]

[jesus christ WHO LET THE DOGS OUT

there are six of them, big grey nearly identical wolf-looking dogs and they are all sticking their noses in assorted food items and wagging furiously, huffing and rumbling and occasionally whining, and none of them are paying attention to the guy yelling at them]

Oi! OI, you stupid— Assholes, get your faces out of that shit, it isn't for you! What the fuck, you can't even eat any of it...

[sleepingspark]

[on her feet holding her plate up out of range of the inquisitive dognoses, also yelling at them]

Aren't you listening?! He said stop it! Get away, this is mine!

[tohaveandtohoard]

[ and for whatever reason, there is an enormous horned dragon attending the picnic; feathered rather than reptilian, and covered in the sort of abundant fluff one might expect from a beast used to cold climates.

it's also easily large enough that the entire picnic wouldn't be more than a mouthful, which might explain why it's staring at the spread with something that might be consternation ]

[dragon_marked]

[Welp. That sure is a dragon.]

[Though it's unlike any described in dusty tomes or spoken about by the fireside. Or any he's ever seen-- deep dragons tend to be more like giant underground serpents than the traditional flying terrors of yore, though that doesn't make them less dangerous. Appearances are deceiving.]

[Considering Shi'ndrin barely breaks five feet himself, he's probably no more than a toothpick to something so big. But that doesn't mean he's afraid. No, he just knows when to exercise a healthy dose of respect when respect is due. (Unlike their paladin, who would be much more likely to come in sword blazing without so much as a "hello".)]

Are you stuck like that?

[It's a valid question, in his opinion, because most dragons have the boon of human form for when they want to mingle with mortals, and to enjoy mortal things. And nothing here is quite to dragon scale.]

[dragonsvigour]

[ WOW LOOK AT THIS GIANT FUCKIN WHITE DRAGON??? ]

How cute.

[submassive]

[There is a giant, and I mean massive, fuck off dude with horns and scales and pretty purple eyes examining the food in delight.]

What a masterful feast!

[icecreamtopping]

[ in a sundress and barefooted, currently helping herself to bacon! ALTHOUGH WOW, APPARENTLY IT IS BEEFCAKE THAT IS ON THE MENU ]

It's pretty great, right? Help yourself ♥

[notbitteratall]

...Excuse me...

[ hello! you are being approached by some sort of weird bee-taur android— this girl's lower half has been replaced by delicate, mechanical insectoid legs with a fat fuzzy tail to match, and she's got little scuffs and cracks all over her. she shuffles her wings a bit, nervous, before continuing. ]

I'm sorry, but would you mind getting those blackberries for me...? I don't want to step on the blanket, since I might rip it...
