Cookout Mingle | OPEN TO ALL

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Who: ANYONE AND EVERYONE!
Status: Open
Where: The beach behind Darin and Zelda's cottage
What: It's a cookout! Even if you don't know the hosts, it's open!
Warnings: Summer!



[On a weekend early in the month, if you happen to be on Eltrut, you might smell something pretty delicious. That's because Darin has seen how much stress everyone is under since things got intense between the armadas. And what's a good way to loosen up? By taking a day off, relaxing on the beach, and eating a ton of delicious food!]

[The beach behind Darin and Zelda's home is an idyllic spot for a large gathering. There's a grassy slope leading down to the beach and a large swath of open sand to sunbathe and relax on. There's even a small pier that Darin built himself for you to leap off into the ocean, should you choose!]

[There's plenty of towels, chairs, umbrellas and parasols, and you better believe there's plenty of food. Darin himself is manning two enormous grills and serving up burgers, hot dogs, kebabs, whatever you want! When the sun sets, Darin will start up a bonfire for people to hang out by and relax! Got fireworks? Bring 'em!]

[Guests are encouraged to bring friends and neighbors, to spread the word, bring whatever food and drink you'd like to contribute, and anything else you might want to have. Snacks? Games? Drinks? Darin's got coolers ready for you and all he asks is that you have a good time! Anyone caught harshing the vibes will be pitched out to sea by the host himself and everyone will laugh.]

[Hell, he might just toss you if he thinks it'll be fun so let's not rule anything out.]

(OOC: Please feel free to make your own top level with whatever you want! The house will be open for people to change into swimsuits, naturally, and you can stay for as long as you want!)

Yes! I'll have - what's that?

[It looks like cookies? But...softer somehow? Chopper doesn't usually mind just having a cone or a cup. But he is curious. Of course, he is, if this might mean adding all the more sugar to the ice cream somehow. As if he needs it. He really doesn't. But it isn't like Darin has stopped him from devouring so much cotton candy before. So. This is probably fine? Right?]

[Darin pulls the wrapping off and hands the ice cream sandwich over to Chopper, similarly pulling one from the cooler and unwrapping one for himself.]

It's like an ice cream sandwich! With the cookies as bread! It's such a good idea I can't believe people on my world hadn't thought of it!

Now, if only they'd make an ice cream pie! Then the only shape I'd be in would be round!

[It takes some restraint for the little reindeer not to just. Shove the whole thing in his mouth. He tries a bite as he takes the offered ice cream from Darin, thanking him. His eyes widen and seem to light up as he tries it, giving a small hum of delight.]

Mm! So good!

[Darin laughs. Gods, Chopper's adorable. You wouldn't think the little guy was a doctor, but Darin knows a thing or two about judging people by appearances alone. Chopper might be cute, but he's far from dumb.]

So...hey, Chopper. As a doctor, do you mostly study medicine or have you ever performed surgeries?

[reindered]

Hm? Oh. I've done surgeries before. It all depends on what the patient needs. Why?

[Chopper was used to people tending to judge him by his appearance. Usually, either by being weirded out or thinking he was adorable and underestimating him. He knows the other is aware of his medical training, though. Not that Chopper has necessarily gone into specifics about his experience over the years back home.

It's. Probably easy to forget that, when he's in this form and has ice cream smeared on his face, his cheeks, though.]
