IT'S AN ECLIPSE PICNIC!

Are you stressed from the trauma you experienced when exploring the secret passageways in the walls last week or the weird shit you've been experiencing in this building in general? So is Lily! Which is why she's thrown herself into planning this eclipse viewing picnic and, as a result, has maybe gone a bit overboard!

Lily throws up a KARMAP post on Sunday evening, reminding everyone that the picnic will begin around 10:00am and that the partial eclipse will peak at 11:25am. However, the food and fun will last well into the afternoon!

When the picnic-goers go up to the rooftop on Monday morning, they will find a perfectly pinterest-worthy; with baskets, and blankets, and throw pillows, and all. People are invited to take a basket and set up wherever they like on the blankets or furniture. She's also brought her bluetooth speaker and it's just playing Spotify's Picnic Playlist. People are free to hijack the speaker to play something else.

Lily put together little, individual baskets with fruits and pastries for the asethetics; but she also put together a pretty massive grazing table full of meats and cheeses. She woke up very early this morning 🥲

But she didn't make it all herself - she ordered some eclipse-themed cupcakes that she asked Joshua to pick up. And keeping on theme, Lily's also making some eclipse-themed cocktails! A mimosa with a round, dark berry juice ice round.

THE ECLIPSE

Lily managed to get a telescope from the Rose City Astronomers (and organization to which her late brother belonged), and has set up a telescope projection so they can keep track of the sun as it moves towards the eclipse.

She's also gotten some eclipse viewing glasses. But more exciting (to Lily), she's managed to round up a bunch of boxes and is willing to show people how to make pinhole projecters to view the eclipse.

The moon will start to pass the sun at around 10:30am with maximum eclipse at 11:25am, and the moon leaves the sun at 12:19pm. This is what Portland will see.

VOLUNTEER SLOTS

JULIE is really into the mimoas. They have one too many and end up falling asleep on one of the patio chairs. They end up napping through the eclipse. Bummer!

At the height of the eclipse, FRANCINE has eschewed the glasses and the pinhole box, and is attempting to make their own eclipse shadow on the ground, when they notice an odd, extra shadow amongst the group that's a bit hazier than the rest. They glance up to do a quick head count and, when they look back down at the ground to confirm, the extra shadow is missing.

RYAN has also noticed the strange, extra shadow and attempts to point it out to STEPH. However, when they both look to the ground, the shadow is no longer there.

JOSHUA is also loving the mimosas. They fall asleep near the end of the picnic and, drunk on sunbeams and champagne, cannot be woken. They end up having to be carried to Apt 404 by MATEO and GOODNIGHT to sleep it off.

Lily dressed in picnic aesthetic. She's playing hostess today, so she's full of smiles and astronomy facts and making sure everyone's taken care of. She's keeping busy because otherwise she's gonna think about that polaroid she found in the tunnels last week, and she doesn't want to be thinking about that, thank you!

During the picnic, she is:

Offering everyone an eclipse viewing device (glasses or asking them if they'd like to make a pinhole projector)

Asking if they've had something to eat (cupcake or snacks)

Making eclipse mimosas

Later on, asking people if they'd like to take some food back with them

Lucky comes with his dogs! He doesn't stay long because he does have to get back to one of his three jobs, but he does stick around long enough to watch the moon leave the sun.

While he's there, he's:

Hovering near the grazing table

Letting people play with his dogs if they want (they're friendly)

Extremely impressed by the telescope projection and tries to look through the telescope at the sun (someone stop him!)

Making shadow puppets, because he's very into shadows today.

Ryan's just wearing jeans and a white tee and his brown cardigan. He brings a plain cheesecake with him and he won't tell anyone he made it unless they ask him if he did.

During the picnic he will be:
• Eating
• Getting day drunk
• Looking at people who went into the passageways to make sure they're okay but possibly not asking them if they're okay except for maybe a few people he feels comfortable asking
• Adding songs to the playlist after one mimosa
• Adding more songs to the playlist after two mimosas
• Asking Lily if he can take over the playlist after he's had three mimosas

	Lily hands Ryan another mimosa and gives him a knowing smile when he asks if he can take over the playlist. She’s noticed that songs have been getting added to the playlist and had a guess who was behind it. “You don’t like the playlist Spotify made for me?” (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Tom is not dressed in picnic aesthetic. Tom is dressed like Tom. He looks grumpy like Tom. But, as is often the case, he isn't anywhere near as grumpy as appearances would suggest. He has been lured to the rooftop picnic, after all.

During the picnic, Tom is:
Enjoying his little eclipse mimosas even though orange is his least favorite juice
Loudly commenting on how quickly retina burns can occur if he sees someone playing fast and loose with their eclipse glasses
Checking out the plant situation up here, now that winter is seemingly in the rearview, and also to give his social battery some recharging time
Telling people to eat more, since there's a lot of food and Lily clearly worked hard on this

Lily beams at Tom when she sees him. She had a feeling he might make an appearance, because of his daughter’s interest in astronomy and Lily’s encouraging, but she’s thrilled to see him nonetheless. She likes seeing his grumpy face, and she particularly likes it when he’s trying to pretend he doesn’t want to be bothered by his neighbors. Because she likes seeing him have a good time, or something. “Is this enough of an appearance fee?” she asks as she hands him a mimosa.

	Joshua arrives early to drop off some heavy cupcakes. Then he leaves for most of the picnic, returning for the last 45 minutes. A mimosa is kind of like a lemonade, so he has one. Then two. Then three. Then he falls asleep. You shan't be interacting with him today. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
