Cookout Mingle | OPEN TO ALL

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!)

Yup! That's Luffy's dream! Like Nami wanting to map out the whole ocean, and Sanji wanting to get to use all kinds of foods from all over. I want to support them and help out as much as I can. Sometimes it might be a little dangerous and scary, but. We're a crew.

[Which means, as much as they might bicker, they are family in their own way. Even if Sanji and Zoro might never want to actually admit that.]

And what about you, little guy? Do you have a special dream of your own?
reindered: (Proves)

Me? That's easy! I want to be a great doctor who can cure any disease!

[Hence. Travelling with the Straw Hats. If he needs to learn about different ingredients and cures, different diseases, he has to travel. And even here, Chopper is trying to ask around about different illnesses, so he can try to be prepared if he can.]

That is a GREAT dream! And one I know you can achieve! And now I know who to go to if I ever feel like upchucking!

[ ... it's meant to be a compliment. ]
reindered: (Is filled with)

[personal profile] reindered 2025-07-28 09:45 am (UTC)(link)
Aw. You're just saying that!

[Cue Chopper's usual trademark response to any compliment. Before he seems to actually process what she just said, and tilts his head a little. He figures if she was feeling that awful, she probably wouldn't be out here at the beach and all. She probably just means if she feels ill later at some point.]

You're not feeling sick, are you? And there's probably other doctors around here, too. Not just me.

But there's no way any doctors here are anywhere near as adorable as you! You're gunna be my number one no matter what!

[ Affectionate head ruffle! ]

Your number one? Really?

[Yeah. Even if he might seem kind of like he is protesting, a little tsun about it. Chopper is clearly actually really happy about the compliments. He giggles even as he pauses working on his sandcastle as her ruffles his head. Or at least as best as she would be able to when he has his hat on.]
