Who: Everyone & You!
Which: Open Log
Where: In the Plaza Rose Garden
What: After some discussion over the journals a few people decide to band together to have a Pride Picnic to celebrate. This is backdated and takes place in early June before the test drive meme and player plots. Feel free to post your own top levels and tag around! Happy Pride!
Warnings: Tba.

Kiss one another Die for each other We're cool for the summer

Amidst the whispers carried by the winds of resilience and hope, news spreads like wildfire— The Story Eater's assault is over! And in the face of adversity, the desire to take a moment to unwind, celebrate, and cherish the joys of life remains steadfast. It is a time to honor pride, love, and the freedom to embrace one's true self, embracing the spectrum of experiences that make each person unique.

Thanks to the passion and imagination of a few local dreamers, an invitation is extended to all, beckoning them to partake in a joyous communal pride picnic! And a break from the recovery efforts! It doesn't matter how the information reaches your ears, everyone is welcome to join in the celebration (and shirts are optional)!

The picnic area has become a haven of delectable treats and refreshing beverages, generously contributed by the locals like Link and Susato, and with your own delightful additions. A mouthwatering spread awaits, showcasing an array of snacks to satisfy. Platters adorned with an abundance of fresh fruits and crisp vegetables tempt the health-conscious, while the irresistible allure of frozen yogurt and rainbow popsicles beckons those seeking a cool, sweet indulgence. The tantalizing aroma of sizzling burgers and hot dogs from the grill fills the air, accompanied by the delightful crunch of kettle-cooked chips. Amidst the feast, one can't help but notice the adorable bunny buns, a whimsical and delicious delight to be shared.

To quench thirst and perhaps discover a touch of destiny, the crowd can partake in the special paopu fruit drink, aptly named Destiny's Embrace. A rumored connection awaits those who share this beverage, a fateful bond that could endure forever. A note reads, "If two people share a drink, their destinies become intertwined. They'll remain a part of each other's lives no matter what." Thanks can be given to The Harvest for this addition!

Furthermore, at the heart of the picnic spot, a grand crockpot awaits, promising a nostalgic group cookout experience. A medley of savory things simmer and bubble, enticing all to come together and savor the communal flavors. Be sure to eat a lot!

Scattered around are a delightful assortment of water guns, just waiting to be claimed. Each one holds a different hue of glitter water, promising moments of splashing and drenching among all. It's a tempting invitation to engage in a spirited water fight, where participants will inevitably be adorned with vibrant stains. The challenge arises: who will emerge from the contest with the most vivid array of colors splashed upon them, or perhaps even daringly strive for the fewest? Don’t worry the colorful water will likely wash out. Enjoy the excitement of some impending watery escapades!

There are a couple of things to be careful of. There seems to be a unique creature galloping around the picnic area. You might be minding your own business when a horse of some sort might nudge you from behind. It’s probably harmless. But also steer clear of any dangerously looking purple goop that might be nearby as well! What happens when you touch it? Well... Maybe just don’t touch the forbidden calamity jammity. It’s for your own good.

Strewn across various picnic blankets are a myriad of icebreaker games, waiting to be embraced by brave (or not-so-brave) participants. Join in the laughter and camaraderie as you engage in timeless classics like "Never Have I Ever" or the intriguing challenge of unravelling "Two Truths and a Lie." Whether you find yourself seated beside an old friend or a newfound acquaintance from distant lands, these games offer a delightful opportunity to uncover shared experiences, discover hidden tales, and forge new bonds. Don't be shy, for the joy lies in the discovery of commonalities and the celebration of unique perspectives (and getting a date).

For those who prefer a more artistic expression of connection, Gen offers a palette of vibrant face paints. Embrace your inner rainbow or tap into your imaginative side as you adorn your face with bright colors and whimsical designs. Allow the strokes of paint to transcend barriers, bridging gaps and forging connections that speak through the artistry of self-expression!

Happy Pride, everyone!

Man, if we had an arcade here, I'd totally bring you! Noct and I lived in them in high school, whenever we could.

[ They're the biggest nerds really. ]

[cute........]

Someone should just make one. We could power it by dreamotion or something, right?

[because that sounds so easy.]

You think so? Man. [ He laughs. You know what he can do with dreamotion?....Yeah. ]

All I can do with it is summon my weapons and fire them. It's so weird too. Like at home, my ammo comes from Noct's magic so I guess the drain is on him? But here it's on me. It's really weird.

Someone who could probably put it together better than me, at least.

[huh. Percy scratches his head, considering it.]

That's weird. I don't think I've really ever heard of it changing magic that much.

Well, I mean, I didn't have any magic before except the pulling my guns out thing. It's always been Noct's magic.

[ It's probably weird, he gets that. ]

I don't know! I'm just a normal guy, this stuff is totally over my head!

[Percy scratches his head.]

Not having magic isn't weird. Having magic isn't weird. But not having magic until your friend lets you use magic but it's not magic because they're guns with magical bullets?

[......... idk what I just typed.]

Well...I mean kind of? Magic at home is connected to the Crystal and Noct can use it because his whole family can. Like, that's why he was born? And then his dad used to give the Glaives all kinds of power. Noct hasn't done that to me uh, at all. I don't know if he's planning to. But, uh, probably, maybe the rounds are generated by the fact it's in the armiger?

[ He doesn't really know. He pulls the gun out, he shoots it, it works. Magic is weird. ]

It's like he gave me the password to the armiger, right. So that's the kind of magic I have. I guess. Magic password. But here it's not connected to the armiger and I have to really try if I want to fire it. [ Or, you know, maybe he could buy some bullets someday but that's not very practical. ]

Oh... huh.

[not gonna lie, he got pretty confused for a second there. but he thinks he's got it. maybe?]

I'm not used to how magic happens. I just... want to do things and then it happens.

[pure dumb luck is constantly on his side.]

Yeah, I'm terrible at explaining it. [ Prompto can admit this. He has no shame. ]

That's kind of cool though. That only happens for me in video games.

Sounds kinda complicated, so I don't blame you.

[Percy grins.]

Man, back to the video games again... who do we gotta petition to get a Playstation in here or something?

I don't know, but I've got some of those weird balls that keep showing up, do you think I could wish for an arcade or something?

[ Is that how they work? He has no idea. He's never used it. ]

[oh shit, he forgot about those.]

Maybe an arcade game or two. But the worst that can happen is you get covered in glitter for days.

Oh man, glitter is the worst. Days? Man I bet in a year you'd still find it in my treehouse.

[ Like seriously, he'd never stop glittering. This is a real risk. Hmm. ]

I'm still finding it, too. Just depends on how important the video games are to you, I guess.

Maybe I'll roll the dice on that. I don't know, I'll have to look into it. An arcade would be so cool though.

[he nods.]

Let me know if it pans out, okay? Name's Percy, by the way.

Oh yeah, totally! I'm Prompto Argentum. [ He flashes him the brightest grin ]

It was really cool to meet you Percy.
