The BBQ commences (D19 EE open)
Posted: Fri Jan 01, 2021 6:34 pm
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.
