Who: Patrick, Scotty (NPC), and OTA
What: Fishing
When: This afternoon
Warnings: None
He liked to sit out on the dock and cast his fishing line into the lake. It was quiet, relaxing. Not that his life was overly stressful since he worked from home, and worked on his own schedule. Still, a little down time was appreciated. He liked the quiet, the peaceful atmosphere. People were out, across the lake. He could hear them from time to time, but they were far enough off that it didn't really bother them.
His son was with him, sitting beside him, both of them dangling their feet in the water. Scotty had his homework off to the side, despite the danger of getting his papers wet, if he caught something. They rarely caught anything,a nd even if they did, they generally threw it back in. Fishing wasn't so much about the catch, as the experience. At least, that was what Patrick wanted Scotty to get out of it. He wanted his son to be able to look back, maybe sit on the very same dock with his son one day, and remember these days, sitting there with his father.
Patrick didn't have much love for the water itself, but he did enjoy the serenity of the location. When he wasn't fishing, Patrick often worked on the landscape of the dock, making it more open and inviting to the neighbors. He was known to be a gracious host, he kept a cooler full of beer, soda, and juice in the boat house, and often took the neighborhood kids out for a cruise around the lake.
He wouldn't mind, if someone wanted to wander by for a chat, now. |

The more random the scene, the better - everyone in this community knows each other on some level, and this is a good chance to find out how they get along!
Welcome to the annual Christmas Social!
Thus read the banner at the entrance to the clubhouse on Saturday night when the guests began to arrive. Despite Eric DeFelice's worst and most terrible fears that the evening would be a disaster, there were no signs of tragedy or collapse anywhere in the room. There were icicle lights hanging from the walls and ceiling as planned, and though the elderly cooks had been true to their word and stayed at home and in hospital, the smell of mouth-watering food wafted through the air nonetheless. As promised, the basketball courts were open for those wishing to play a quick game or shoot a few casual hoops, and the auditorium had been converted to a dance floor, complete with a DJ found at the last minute and tinsel and streamers all over every table. Red and green balloons hung in a net up by the ceiling preparing to be released later on in the evening.
Christmas had come to Lake Flannery, and God willing, the evening would go off without a hitch. |
