Oh what a beautiful afternoon!

[cyan_maid]

Who: Jane Crocker and YOU! (Open)
What: A relaxed garden party
When: May 16th, beginning around noon.
Where: The castle gardens
Rating: G for GARDEN PARTY

If you enter the castle's garden today, you are met with the sight of a party!

There are blankets laid out on the grass, and numerous, various outside activities have been set up - games like croquet and bocce are joined by various sport balls, Frisbees, jump ropes, and anything else you can imagine. Nearby a table has been placed, holding various foods prepared by the attendees and the nice kind of disposable plates and cutlery, the sturdy kind with little flowers on them. If none of this tickles your fancy, there's always the actual garden to keep you occupied.

Chances are you heard tell of this party and came to participate! Though no one would begrudge you for just taking food and leaving, much less the hostess. Jane will welcome you with a smile no matter what.

i would play the shit out of that game, corporate brainwashing be damned

Obligingly, Aradia hands it over. "Be my guest!"

Yeah so the board's probably a hexagon and all that ever got determined about the rules is that your starting money is "about a fistful". The pieces are remarkably similar to those used in Earth Monopoly, with the addition of a spaceship and an Imperial Drone. There's no cat because seriously what the fuck was that all about (sorry Nepeta), and no thimble because that one was deemed too suggestive a long time ago.

We could be brainwashed together!

Jane takes careful note of the similarities and differences as she sets everything up. It seems enough like human Monopoly for her to get it, so she looks even more excited to give it a try. "Which piece do you want?" She asks, "It's your game, you pick first."

[psych0p0mps]

"Hmm..." Aradia looks over the pieces assembled, then plucks one out. "I'll be the hat. Want me to grab the Peradventure and Populace Pyxis decks?"

[cyan_maid]

"Um...sure?"

The terms are a bit out there for Jane, but if it's part of the game, she'll play along. She picks up the iron, because it is a reliable and sturdy piece. Who needs scotty dogs when you have a wrinkle-wrecker?

[psych0p0mps]

Yeeeeah, wreck those wrinkles! So yeah we'll say they get started. Aradia plays nice, though, because it's not about winning or losing for her, and anyway it wouldn't be fair to try and ream someone who only just started playing.

It's kind of tricky for Jane in the beginning, but she picks up fast enough. It's not about winning or losing for her, either, she's just happy to do something new.
