[estival]

[It's the end of a long week filled with family, and one more night of eating too much and tolerating people you're probably sick of. The food tonight features grilled chicken, potato salad, coleslaw and ice cream for dessert.

Of course, one last night of family isn't complete without photos of the gang and some dumb games to cap the week off. Here we go again:]

family photos;

[estival]

[Those people you see about once every five years when this shindig goes down? You want to have another photo to remember them by from this time around, right? Group up and start getting those pictures taken! All photos taken by other family members, of course.]

Sage Family Photo

[ruin_mania]

[Raine's a bit more interested in the specs of the cameras than getting her picture taken, but...well, she supposes it wouldn't hurt to pose with the other Sages.]

Ah--let's see, is everyone here? Who are we missing?

[midget]

I'm here, I'm here!

[ Hyper little girl pauses a moment. ]

I don't see big bro, though. [ Legatooooooooo! ]

[ruin_mania]

Hmm. Well, perhaps we could have a picture with just us for now, and then when everyone else arrives we can have another one? It't not as though we're wasting film. [Yay digital!]

[inafadingcrown]

[Raine, your half-sister will murder you if you don't pose.]

I should stand near the back, do you not agree? [Since she towers over everyone...]

[ruin_mania]

[She'll pose! Eventually.]

That would be best, I think. Three rows ought to be sufficient for our branch of the family.

[inafadingcrown]

Of course. You will join us when you have finished, will you not? As much as I hate to tear you from the camera, it would not be the same without you. [There's just a hint of teasing in there. She adores the intellectuals of her family and that Raine is a bit of a nerd is really just a bonus in her eyes.]

Starks

[sexyhitchhiker]

[this is not a week she wants to remember in any sort of detail, but Natsuki's here, lounging about and hoping to get this over with as quickly as possible. Maybe then she can get packed and hopefully finally get to leave. Her pet dog (wolf) is sprawled next to her, tail thumping on the ground as she absentmindedly scratches his ears.]

[bustle]

[ Erika on the other hand is sitting around with a Stark Tablet like, you know, one of those kids. Idly switching between sketching new outfits and playing Rabid Bunnies. Speaking of scratches, the girl has some small splotches of neosporin from someone's babby fists. HARUMPH ]

Can we eaaaat already? All I've had was ice cream all day and I'm tired of pictures.

[sexyhitchhiker]

I never thought you'd ever be tired of pictures.

[so deadpan:] But yeah, we're doing this just to avoid feeding you.

[ugh, she's hungry too.]

[bustle]

I can't look like this for the family picture! What's everyone gonna think when they see me with all these cuts and bruises back home? [ she'd be rubbing her face, but goes for covering it with her tablet ]

2/2

[bustle]

[ after a second, though, she peeks over at her sister ]

Do you think we'll get in trouble if we just go and eat first?

[persequor]

[ Sorry, brat child is swimming in the lake with Nymeria and refuses to take a picture. Try again never. ]

[builds]

Arya! [ Calling from the lake's shore. ] Come on, it's picture time!

[persequor]

[ Calling back: ] I'm busy!

[wintercat]

Arya! [Shouting from the shore.] It won't take long.

Panem family photo

[not_like_the_rest]

(Johanna is quite stunning today for the family photo. She's sitting and waiting for the family's turn with the camera right now.)

[dontpatr0nizeme]

[Wash is nearby, keeping a watchful eye on his family. It's gone well so far, but he's worried it won't last through the end of the reunion.]

[not_like_the_rest]

[Johanna smiles at him and goes over to fuss over his outfit.]

Scared I'll give Haymitch another punch?

dinner;

[estival]

[Take a plate to the long tables or steal away and sit on the grass (watch out for ticks) or by the lakeshore. There are ribs, veggie burgers for vegetarians, corn on the cob, salads, cookies, rootbeer floats and cookies for dessert... this is your last meal together as a family for who knows how long! Make sure you make the most of it.]

[msattentionspan]

[Faith might not be a family member, but she's spent so much time with everyone here this week that she at least feels like she knows a few of them. Some of them she hopes she sees again if they ever come back.

She's just sipping on some juice and watching the families all gather around and enjoy another meal. She's be more than happy to talk with any of them, if they want to.]

[wintercat]

[And, of course, Catelyn is doing her best to make sure that things go as planned. She has her own plate of food, but she has spent less time eating it and more time trying to prevent certain family members from creating chaos. She's sitting peacefully at the moment. That must mean she's stopped watching, right? Right?]

[both_neither]

[It has involved no small amount of pestering for Gren to get Vicious out of his hiding spot in the woods and back to the resort proper for dinner]

It's the last day, anyway. It won't hurt.

[Not to mention he was still curious about his roommate's brother, but he kept that to himself]

[nothingtobelieve]

It doesn't have to be painful to be unpleasant.

[Complaining aside, though, it was the prospect of a noisy crowd he disliked more than anything else, and he could, in fact, endure it long enough to eat.]

[both_neither]

Painful would be easier to deal with?

[He smirks teasingly and nods towards the tables]

Maybe we can find some familiar faces.
