Who ► Leo & Anyone that wishes to join!
What ► BEACH PARTY!!
When ► September 1st
Where ► Δ Haggard Traveler's Reprieve
Content Warnings ► People will be drunk. Will add to if needed

[The time has come... for fun! Δ Haggard Traveler's Reprieve has been decorated with all the niceties that a beach party requires - docks for fishing, large umbrellas to hide from the sun, several tables with sets of chairs for sitting and conversing, and the most obvious addition: a massive roaring bonfire with a big cooking mesh over the top of it for barbecue cookin'!

Leo's wearing a fishing hat and aviators alongside his trademark loincloth-and-nothing-else getup for maximum dissonance. From his position on the other side of the bonfire, he waves a hand at those arriving.]

Welcome to the Beach Bash! Snacks and drinks are on the tables, bottles of sunscreen and crafting tables are under the umbrellas, and complementary fishing gear are at the docks for your convenience. Have fun, friends~

[Emperor Grunty is also here, should you wish to annoy him! He's currently laying in the sand with a reflector. What? Grunties need their sun too!]

Comments

[bleatingedge]

Heyo Tylor. Thanks for bringing stuff-

[Leo watches as Tylor starts randomly placing shit with no rhyme or reason.

There's a soft sigh, but Leo doesn't chastise him or anything. In fact, the chaotic mess does speak to the goat-man. What's a party without a bit of chaos, after all?

He simply continues setting up more meat and veggies to cook on the open fire.]

[tylorific]

No problem, boss.

[ Given enough time, there is plenty of chaos. There's some strange logic to it in Tylor's eyes, but once he's finished meandering his way through that his attention lands squarely on the open fire.

Would Leo like some fish. ]

Oh wow, you look like a natural! Do you cook like this a lot in real life?

[bleatingedge]

[Sure, Leo would appreciate fish.]

Not particularly. But adjusting to working on an open flame versus a grill isn't too difficult.

[tylorific]

Ohhh, so you grill?

[bleatingedge]

Mhmm! It's one of the only forms of cooking I'm actually confident in doing correctly.

[tylorific]

Wow, we're total opposites then. How do you know if you cooked it all the way?

[bleatingedge]

It depends on the type of meat. Ribs for example, you can sorta poke at it, and if it starts to just slough off the bone, then it's perfect. If you wanna make absolutely sure, you can use a meat thermometer though.

Stuff like veggies are easier - you mostly just want a little bit of char on them and they're usually good to go.

[tylorific]

[ Tylor nods along with seriousness as Leo goes on. ]

You're really smart. [ Said comically serious. But after, his tone lightens more and more as the words tumble out-- ] I don't think about it that hard at all. Enjoying everything sure is easy-- but you understand how to make things tasty. I really appreciate all your hard work, boss!

Do you even have a favorite food with all these delicious options?

[bleatingedge]

Good question! It's hard to pick a favorite from among the stuff I've been cooking, but the one I decided on previously was the one I gave to Hien already to complete his quest. Pork butt, rubbed with a beer-based spice mix, and slathered in barbecue sauce.

I'd give you some to try, but unfortunately he ate all of it. [Leo chuckles.]

[tylorific]

[ Tylor whistles at that explanation in appreciation. ]

Wow, that really does sound delicious. I sure hope you got to try some too.

[bleatingedge]

Of course I sneaked a bite... or two. Had to make sure I got the recipe right!

Maybe next time I barbecue, I can make it for you.

[tylorific]

Really? You'd do that for me? I sure would appreciate it, boss.

[bleatingedge]

Of course! You're one of my guildies after all. It means a lot to me that you joined me on this journey.
