Day 331 (strange relations) / Open Video / Picnic Mingle
[Have Euphie's smiling face on the screen. Kanji and I would like to invite you all to a picnic today! Of course we want to see all our family there, but friends and soon-to-be friends too. [That means strangers.]

You don't have to worry about bringing anything, but if you'd like to bring something extra to share or a game that would be fun or even just an extra blanket just in case that would always be welcome.

We'll be in Trois Park near the koi pond and fountain at noon today.

[There will already be some blankets laid out and pink picnic baskets with a variety of food—many of which have been prepared in extra cute ways like rice balls shaped like cats. You probably think this was mostly Euphie's doing, but it was mostly that boyfriend of hers, Kanji.]

(OOC: Mingle! Tag yourself in or hit up Euphie on video here or at the picnic here. Want to be a relation of Euphie's? Just let me know!)

	Yeah, he's... being a bit weird about it, actually. [But he's not going to dwell on that, certainly not with his son's girlfriend who - yeah - he'd really like to get to know better. He pats the ground beside him.] Come and sit down. You've been so busy hosting you probably haven't had much chance to just sit and enjoy it all! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She sits as directed and smiles at him.] I suppose that's true, but I like seeing people enjoy themselves. We should do more of this sort of thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-07-09 07:51 pm UTC (link)
	We should, yeah. More of this kind of relaxed, family-type thing. We seem to have a quite a lot of dances and so on, but this? [He gazes round contentedly.] This was a really good idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2015-07-09 08:45 pm UTC (link)
	Family is very important. It's hard to imagine being here without them. Though I certainly like all of the new friends I make here too. [Like Kanji.] It's easy to see the losses that come with being in prison, but there are many opportunities we never would have had too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-07-10 01:58 pm UTC (link)
	[He nods along.] We are very, very lucky to have so many members of our family with us here. [A beat.] I mean, not that I'd wish for anyone to be brought here or anything, but since they are here, it's good to enjoy it. And good to make new connections too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2015-07-10 02:23 pm UTC (link)
	[She laughs softly.] I've been here a very long time. You don't have to use the disclaimer with me. I know there are very few cases where being here is ideal. [But she's one of them so she can't deny it happens.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-07-11 03:55 pm UTC (link)
	[Chuckling] I tend to forget there are people who've been here even longer than I have. Sometimes it feels like forever. In a good way, I mean. Like I've been with Kitty forever. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2015-07-11 04:00 pm UTC (link)
	Day 36. [She says it with a smile like it's a good thing.] That's lovely though. I didn't even realize the two of you were together. [Which isn't much of a surprise. It seems like she never talks to Kitty.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-07-12 12:06 pm UTC (link)
	Wow. That's a lot longer than me. [And then his eyebrows lift slightly, his head tilting to one side.] You didn't? I thought the whole dome must know. Surely you remember the wedding? [Even if he doesn't seem to much, not today.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2015-07-12 01:32 pm UTC (link)
	Ah...it does seem like a strange thing to miss, doesn't it? [A little doubt entering her voice. Two people thought it was odd she was with Kanji and not Nathan today and now she's missing weddings in the dome?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-07-13 04:39 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. [Even if they hadn't invited her - and they might not have done; she's never been in either his or Kitty's close circle of friends - she would surely have been aware of it. Doubt creeps into his voice too.] Perhaps this is another of the wardens' weird games. Messing with our memories. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2015-07-13 05:31 pm UTC (link)
	What an odd thing for them to change. [Though if you change the scope...] Maybe I was just too wrapped up in other things. [The school, the welcoming committee, the memorial garden, her friends and family, and Kanji. It fills time.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-07-14 01:52 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, perhaps that's it. [He shrugs, and makes an effort to let it go, but the doubt lingers.] So. Tell me about you! You're the one who does the welcome baskets, aren't you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2015-07-15 12:51 am UTC (link)
	I'm not sure where to start, but yes, I thought the welcome baskets would be nice. Everyone was so welcoming to me when I arrived. But I had family and friends here then and people who knew me before I lost my first memories of this place. Not everyone has that. I know things aren't the same, but I hope it at least lets them know we care. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-07-15 02:05 pm UTC (link)
	Well, it's a lovely thought. [And says a lot about her as a person. He smiles.] I think you could be very good for Kanji. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2015-07-15 08:00 pm UTC (link)
	I hope so. He's very good for me and important to me. [She's in looove~ But she hasn't told Kanji just yet.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-07-20 01:51 pm UTC (link)
	Good. You seem to be pretty important to him too. [He shifts slightly, still slightly concerned by this sudden change of orientation on Kanji's part. Not because he's worried about the orientation itself, but more that Kanji feels he's being pressured into getting together with a girl.] How did it happen, the two of you getting together? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2015-07-21 04:16 am UTC (link)
	Oh, well, you know. [Except she can't really think how it did happen specifically.] We just liked spending time around each other and wanted to do more of it. [That feels like the right answer though.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Her vagueness feels all too reminiscent of his own inability to remember getting together with Kitty - or even his own wedding, damn it! - and it doesn't feel right to push her on it.]

Well, that's good, then. I'm glad it happened organically, you know? Not because someone thought they had to be with someone in order to appear normal or - you know - anything like that.

[Yeah, not at all awkward there, Jack!]

	friendly_fire 2015-07-24 01:58 am UTC (link)
	Ah... Yes...No? [What?] We're just happy to be together. At least I know I am. [And she has every confidence he feels the same way.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Good. That's... good. [He's already said that, hasn't he? He decides it might be time to move on, here. However concerned he is about Kanji, he doesn't want to make things awkward by seeming like he's prying or anything.]

Well, I should go and see how my lovely wife is getting on! And I guess you've got a lot of people you want to talk to too, so... [He gestures, vaguely.]

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2015-08-04 01:16 am UTC (link)
	Well, yes, but I'd be happy to speak again soon. I hope you have a nice time. [He's married? Here in the dome? She didn't realize anyone was here with a spouse. She must be very out of the loop lately.] I'll see you later then. [A confusing end to a confusing exchange, but not unpleasant!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-08-04 11:39 am UTC (link)
	[He gives her a wide, genuine and faintly paternal smile, and completely misses her confusiong about Kitty.] I'll look forward to it! Catch you later! (Reply to this) (Parent)
