Who: EVERYBODY.
What: The TWD crew is hosting a 4th of July celebration. Food, alcohol, fireworks -- come one, come all.
When: Thursday, July 4. All evening.
Where: Down by and around the lake.
Rating/Warnings: Just off the top of my head I'm going to guess language, juvenile delinquents, and possibly some public drunkenness. It is the 4th, after all.
Status: OPEN.

The basic schedule will look like this:

12:00 PM - Those wishing to help setup start arriving.
5:00 PM - Party goers not involved in setup start arriving.
6:30 PM - Grilling starts.
6:45 PM - Plates are being served.
8:00 PM - The Grill is fired down.
9:00 PM - Daryl and Rick shoot off the homemade rockets, six total.
9:45 PM - Hermione's grand finale firework show.

Cleanup and kicking people out will happen whenever people start getting tired. This is a Southern even, after all. They'll let it last high into the morning if that's what people want! No passing out by the lake, though.

NOTE: This is how the group thread is going to go down - Location threads have already been started within the post. The area and time are designated in the subject line. Comment to the areas you want your characters to play at, and put in the subject line of your comment who is participating in the thread or if it is open.

For example, if you decided to comment the GRILLING AREA - 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM thread, you would change the subject line to OPEN TO GRILLERS or DARYL/OPEN TO OTHERS WAITING IN LINE FOR FOOD. Then, as soon as someone joined, you may change the subject line to DARYL/RICK - CLOSED so that everybody would know that it's now become just a one-on-one convo between the two conversations.

Can I be in more than one subthread at once? Yes. Because there are events happening at different times, your character can easily be flitting around from person to person, mingling their lil' butt off. Just remember that it makes sense. You probably can't be standing in line at the same time as you're wandering along the forest edge waiting for everybody else to get their food first as those two events wouldn't work. But you could definitely be waiting in line for food, have a conversation, and then go sit down to eat and have another conversation. It's a party! Mingle!

And if in doubt? Ask! (Oh, and don't forget to tag yourself as you throw your characters in!)

I've added plenty of description for everyone to know what they are looking at, but I am not perfect! If I have forgotten something, feel free to pretend that I didn't and mention that it's there.

Last Note: Snap pops and sparklers are available for everyone.

If Rick could convince Michonne out of her skepticism, then maybe this had been a real success. He'd count the many smiling faces he saw today as an assurance to that. But hearing such from her was convincing to say the least.

"We can thank Little Daryl for that." He was the one who was talking about the fourth after all. The miniature version of his friend looked as though he enjoyed himself too, which was a very big star in Rick's book.

"I'm glad to hear you thought so. And that you came. I know it's a big jump, from where we were, to this." First they're battling starvation, other people, and the dead. Now they're eating hotdogs and trying to get over 'every day' bumps in the road. It was enough to make a sane man mad. Rick didn't consider himself as normal as either of those categories. "Maybe when you get to the city and can start taking a deeper look it'll get easier."

That was something that Michonne had been wondering about; the children. She'd been mostly watching a lot of the interactions, figuring out who knew who, Carol and Daryl's friends, the girl with the fireworks, seeing Gretel around. The children themselves had made her wonder.

"About that..." She hadn't been sure at first, but through the night it had been more and more of a question. "Little Daryl is actually, well, little Daryl, right?" Which was odd, but then what wasn't? "Which means that the other one...he's..."

Well, he actually looked a lot like a skinnier version of Carl. Hair a little darker, frame a little leaner. But the mannerisms. Michonne couldn't exactly help that she was watching so much. "It's a change, but then, so was before." She was starting to, well, to come around really. Gretel and Anakin seemed to help a little, explanation wise -not that they explained it any better, just that Daryl and Rick's explanations made more sense.

His eyes followed Michonne's face as she formed the words she deemed necessary for the question, ever patient and calm. He was curious as to when she'd ask about the little versions. Rick or Daryl hadn't wanted to overload her too much on the information, giving her only what was necessary in the passing days, letting her put the pieces together in a sanely fashion.

"Yeah, he sure is." Rick nodded in confirmation, a small smirk pulling to his face because he'd grown very fond of his friend's younger self. The attachment and protectiveness he felt towards Daryl automatically carried over to his younger counterpart, and that had only grown with the time he'd spent with him. "If you don't believe by sight then a couple of minutes with him should do. There'll be no questioning, that's Daryl."

The other one could've only been one person. "Me." It was odd to admit it, much less live and work around a younger version of ones self. Rick didn't know how he was doing it and keeping straight headed. Maybe that just stopped awhile ago.

"Richard." He told her, so she would be able to call for either of them and not get confused. It just made things easier, and Rick hadn't gone by that name since he lived in Kentucky. "Another one of the unexplainable awkward things about this place. Drove Daryl mad when he first showed up, eventually Richard did and...I guess I just try to deal with it and not think on it much. They both go between me and Carol to fit our work schedules, Beth's been real helpful with them too. Steadily, so has Daryl."
