The BBQ commences (D19 EE open)

The smell of meat and vegetables cooking wafts enticingly around the old campgrounds of the Calico. Not too far from where she had returned a barbecue had been set up, just at the edge of the expanded perimeter. The remaining guards had been told to expect some music, gunshots and friendliness. They'd also been invited to collect a burger each whenever they changed shifts.

The food items were being brought over from the Calico, as well as the drink. It had been stored well in advance. Beside the barbecue itself a few chairs and stools were laid out. None matched. There was also a table and a few blankets waiting for anyone who got cold as it slowly ebbed toward sunset. A cooler for drinks and a crate with glasses and bottles of alcohol were all ready for whoever led with drinks. Past the perimeter a shooting range had been set up with all the glass bottles the company had used up and no longer needed. Curiously, there were two sets of targets, each at different distances. Perhaps two people could play at once? A box nearby held an assortment of spare bottles and pieces of metal to use as replacement targets. A pistol and a rifle sat by them.

Closer to the chairs a firepit had been set up. Around it a few sticks stuck out of the ground around it, but the fire itself wasn't going yet. Atop the pit was a mixed pile of wood, some large and some big. There were pieces of rolled up paper shoved hastily underneath, awaited whoever had a light. Thankfully, someone had remembered to put some stones around it too.

In regards to food there was fresh bovine and vegetables. Someone had thoughtfully added some pieces of fruit to a bowl if anyone wanted something sweet. There was also some chicken that had been unfrozen so the legs and wings could be cooked with BBQ sauce.

Faithful to his orders from Nurse Colette, Bruun was roaming about and being helpful, though not doing anything strenuous. He'd helped arrange the shooting targets early and then mostly lurked near the food, mostly being available if Colette should want him for something.

The lieutenant seemed to be as smiley and outgoing as anyone had ever seen him, despite the bandage on his forehead and sling holding his left arm. After resisting for a while, he heads to the cooler for a beer.

Felicity follows along behind Bruun. "Hey, I think we're all set up. Bruuuuun. Could you make me a drink, pretty please?" She asks, pestering the lieutenant. The catgirl cleared her throat and asked something she'd asked a few times now. "Are you sure you should be out here and not resting?"

"Hey Ell-tee looking extra handsome with that fashion choice." Snorri is picking up a kebab and idly tearing off pieces bit by bit. "But like Fee said, are you cleared? You took quite a hit yesterday" There actually seems to be...limited sincerity?

The catgirl nodded in agreement with Snorri. "Yea, you were ice skating Bruun."

Out of combat, Felicity was in her usual black shirt, red hoodie and boots.

"Hellfire, Fee, I only got knocked out in battle. Didn't even stay out that long. Ain't been a head wound yet that really slowed me down," he says grumpily. But when he looks at her and sees the concern that he should have registered earlier, he relents.

"Alright," he says in a quieter voice. "I shouldn't be pushing anything. Orders from Nurse Colette," he says, a little sarcastic but not about to ignore said orders.

"Let me make you that drink, then I'll go sit a spell. You might have to have someone guard me," he jokes. "What kind of drink tonight?"

Snorri mouth the words "Nurse Collete?" to Felicity

The outfit would be worth a concussion to see if it was anything like what he was imagining

The aforementioned female arrived with a tray in her hands. She brought dessert, a Prinzregententorte and some chocolate cupcakes. "A little help here."

Andrea arrived fashionably late, and in one of her more formal outfits. She was mostly pleased...even with the damaged to her mech.

"Fee," She smiles at the catgirl, "Snorri." A comradery nod is given to her fellow mechwarrior. "Leftenant." A more curt nod to Bruun.

She smiled at her fellow Davion. « Mademoiselle. »

"The usual." Felicity requests with a bright smile, clapping her hands together and looking very pleased. The cat would have its cream. "Thank you Bruun!"

She chuckles at Snorri's comment. "I wish."

"Coming!" Felicity hurried over to Colette to help her with all the dessert trays. "You should have said you were bringing this out. I'd have given you a hand Letty..."

Her attention is drawn away by Andrea in one of her formal outfits. It was very cute. Lots of frills. Felicity nearly dropped one of the dessert traps. She had to lurch to the left, which turned into a full spin, but she got the tray back under control. "Hey Andrea. I'm glad you could make it. Letty made desserts!" She moved closer to show them off. "She also prepped everything for the barbecue! There's lots of food. Help yourself." She gave Andrea a quick smile before moving to put the desserts onto the fold-out table.
