Characters: Open to all!
Date: June 23rd
Location: Wood sector, open market.
Situation: A very late "Memorial Day" barbecue, bring your own beef!
Warnings/Rating: N/A. C'mon, it's a barbecue.

[There's two grills, one for meat, one for veggies. (We don't want our vegetarians getting cross-contamination, now do we?) They're pretty basic, just some wood-burning open barrels with grills over top. Feel free to come on by, bring some food to share around, and hang out with your friends. Or glare across the way at your enemies! We're all good here.]

Well, since you said it was from a plant, I guess more like eating some chopped up vegetables.

[backwordscompatible]

...if you want chopped up vegetables, I can always add relish?

[watcheslanterns]

No, no. This is fine! I really like it.

[backwordscompatible]

Good.

[Not that she would have taken a rejection personally. Meat substitutes weren't necessarily for everyone.]

So...having fun?

[watcheslanterns]

Yes! [She nods enthusiastically.]

It's really great to see people having a good time.

[backwordscompatible]

I think we're all owed one, after everything that's been happening lately.

[watcheslanterns]

I think so, too. It's nice to have a break. Even just a little one like this.

[backwordscompatible]

Hey. There's nothing little about a Memorial Day Barbecue.

Namely, the fact that we actually managed to pull one off here.

[watcheslanterns]

[She laughed softly.]

I guess you're right. I wasn't sure if it was going to be possible when Stiles brought it up.

[backwordscompatible]

Is that a reflection on Stiles, or on the lack of Barbecues around here?

[watcheslanterns]

Oh no, neither! Just...with the way things are now, I wasn't sure if we'd manage to find everything we needed.

[backwordscompatible]

Because of the rations.

[watcheslanterns]

Mhm. I just hope no one is suffering too badly from the food shortage.

[backwordscompatible]

Honestly?

It's not nearly as bad as the last time. They were way more strict about who could have how much. I think there was something wrong with how much food they were able to grow at the time?

[watcheslanterns]

I'd heard that there had been trouble before this. Maybe this time people were just more prepared for it?

[backwordscompatible]

Could be.

We've been at some kind of "war" for longer than I've been here. Maybe everybody's adjusted. Knows how to handle it, and kept enough rations on hand that we wouldn't have to suffer as badly.
