family reunion day 2; dated to 9:00 AM

[estival]

[Breakfast with the family is a great way to start out the morning, right? But with a reunion this big, tables outside is the only way it's really going to work. Resort workers are standing over tables spread out with heated trays of scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon, French toast, and biscuits and gravy. There are more tables with plates arranged with sliced pieces of fruit. There's another long table devoted entirely to different kinds of cereal, with gallons and gallons of milk to pour over it. And of course there are dozens of round tables set up where people can actually sit and eat with each other before really starting out their day -

There's also the grassy lawn facing the lake where those who would rather can take their plates and sit in a slightly more informal setting.

This is a chance to hang out with some of the family that isn't so closely related to you! Enjoy that.]

[whichwayyoulean]

[The Once-ler is picking at a plate of french toast with a disdainful sort of look]

I mean seriously, how hard would it be for them to make pancakes?

[midget]

[ 'Sup, Once-ler? Have a (very) short little girl standing right in front of him, staring up at him. ]

Wow. You're tall.

[mal_addict]

[Maladict is lounging in a chair, her feet propped on a table, sipping a cup of coffee and watching everyone with a bored expression.

She's had enough and wants to go home already this trip is useless]

[vampirize]

What, is the coffee not good?

[Don't mind Tesla just slipping into the nearest chair. He just wants to have a fabulous talk with his wife, after all. He leans over, still internally miffed that they won't serve wine for breakfast. The morons.]

And here I was thinking you'd be looking forward to breakfast and all.

[schrodingersghost]

[Danny pokes at his plate skeptically.]

Well, at least it isn't oatmeal. Anyone have any ketchup?

[onlyanapple]

I doubt ketchup will make it taste any better.

[sexyhitchhiker]

[Natsuki is sitting glassy-eyed at a table, with nothing but a mug of black coffee in her hands. This is way too early, guys. Waaaay too early.]

[persequor]

Are you avoiding us again today? [ No hi or good morning or how are you. Just...those eyes. ]

[wilder]

[Zelos is sitting with a plate of food that he's really not touching all that much, beyond pushing around some of the berries around his plate. His head rests in one of his arms that are propped up on the table and occasionally he's watching the people around him. God does he want to disappear sometimes. ]

[payback]

[A severely sunburned cousin arrives.]

Aren't you hungry?

[payback]

[Since yesterday, Rin has acquired an amazing sunburn. She's moving much slower, collecting a pile of fruit on a piece of French toast and some bacon and then dragging herself over to the grass to sit. Exhausted by this vacation already!

Food will help.]

[midget]

[ Surprise attack hug!

......Hope that doesn't hurt too bad with that sunburn. :x ]

[ino]

[Ino's just sitting down at the table with a big yawn. she's got two plates of food with her -- savin' some for the hubby, whenever he gets up B) but it sure looks like an awful lot for her ...]

[celestial_wizard]

[ There's a familiar sight. Usually she let Natsu get his own food, but sometimes she's been known to bring food for him too. Or vice versa. THis time she only brought enough for herself, but she stopped on her way to the lawn to raise an eyebrow at the sight. ]

Are you actually eating all of that...? Or is someone joining you?

[workaphilic]

[Sherlock refuses to sit at a table with any of these people. That might force him to interact with them. Instead, he's decided to compromise with standing on the lawn and Watching everyone with that vaguely judgmental Look of his.

Pretty much the only thing he CAN do with his phone reception in the toilet.

He's opting out of breakfast, too. Food is for suckers.]

[chubbycreampuff]

[ Kirby would eventually run to Sherlock. He's on a mission to meet all of his extended family, even this guy who looks kind of scary! ]

Poyo! [ he greets, giving him a little cheerful wave. ]

[vengefully]

[Sasuke can be found just sitting outside on the grass after grabbing a plate of food. It was way too crowded inside for him and after yesterday's events he was a bit tired from getting up this early for breakfast. It was quieter out here anyway and the view of the lake was pretty relaxing in a way]

[honorinflames]

[and that's right where Zuko's going, after escaping his siblings. He settles down in the grass nearby... and groans under his breath when he realizes that one of them apparently snatched the fruit off his plate on his way out.

Then, after a sigh, he glances over at Sasuke]

...Who are you hiding from?

[eatsfire]

[Whoever is nearby to whichever table Natsu's found himself at is going to want to be careful, because he's basically shoveling food into his mouth messily, looking happy, if groggy from waking up so early]

Thif isho guhf! [Translation: "This is so good!"]

[rainbowed]

[Kanaya tries to mask the disgust on her face, but she doesn't entirely succeed.]

Perhaps you should make sure to chew and swallow your breakfast before attempting speech.

[modernholmes]

[Conan is looking hopefully at the coffee on the table. He looks around quickly to see if any adults were watching, and then makes an attempt to jump up and claim a cup.]

[huffythedragon]

[Watching, cuz, watching ]

You should put it in a juice cup if you actually manage to nab one. They might not try to take it off you then.

[biggestdreamer]

[Takato is sitting at a table with a plate piled high with waffles and fruit, but he isn't paying any attention to that. Instead he has a notebook out on the table that he is intently drawing in.]

[payback]

[Sidling over to peer over his shoulder]

Whatcha drawing?

[3_butterflies]

Um... I'm a vegetarian, so... I can't really...

[huffythedragon]

It's okay, I am too. [Wandering over with a plate of delicious fruit] These are really good.

[excalibured]

[Arthur is behaving this morning pretty much the same way as he has since he's gotten here. He's piled his plate high with eggs, bacon, sausage tomatoes and a bit of other assorted fruit warily. Half like expects some axe murder to pop out of one of the cabins and tearing through the vicinity. He heard some kid talking about it the other day and he has no trouble believing one of these people might actually be one.

So immediately after making a plate, he's beating a hasty path on the grass to sit as close to the lake as possible without having to sit in the sand. Away from everyone else]

[prettyknives]

[oh hey it's that guy who's engaged to her aunt. She's just going to stare at him from a distance like a creeper]

[scinlae]

[ Good morning sea of people Morgana is not related to, how are we this lovely morning? Good? Awesome. The woman herself is currently getting herself something to eat, not much, just some French toast and fruit. Everything else gets ignored as she moves on until finally she finds a spot to sit down and eat.

:3c ]

[persequor]

[ Here's one little girl you might know, Morgana. After tormenting Once-ler and jumping Zelos, she has settled down to eat. And there's an open spot on either side of her. Wonder why that could be. ]

[celestial_wizard]

[ This is the hugest spread she's seen in a while! In fact, while she's gathering up food for herself (which wouldn't be anywhere NEAR as much as Natsu's would be), she looks around, partially to look for a spot to spit, partially for a familiar face, and Natsu of course.

She doesn't see him at first glance, which is a surprise because he's normally so exuberant he's the first one she ever notices. But there's a first time for everything, so after taking her food, she heads on over to the lawn to eat there, and chat with anyone else with the same idea in mind. ]

[both_neither]

[The lawn seems like a good place to avoid talking to Faye again, so he'll wander over here with his own plate, but being alone isn't his style either, so he'll take a seat near this friendly-looking girl]

Good morning.

[losteveryone]

[So, here's Carol once again sitting as far away from the large group as possible. Oh there are still plenty of people around her but not too many people that she recognizes. So, she's just going sit here outside on the lawn with a plate of fruit sitting on her lap. She's not eating much of it though.

Come and bother her, she really won't mind!]

[peacockherald]

_{[Vanyel is ever the gentleman. Well, he might not look it right now. Some straw was still stuck in his hair that he didn't recognize from feeding Yfandes this morning.]}

Why are you sitting by yourself?

[changethings]

[ Emma... isn't eating. In fact she already ate earlier, now she is simply watching the organized chaos. As if she is looking for someone, or something.

Or at least hoping that whatever/whoever it is, isn't actually here. ]

DUN, DUN...DUN

[atrophied]

Emma.

[ Of all the people he expected to see, she was never one of them. For the briefest moment, the prickly persona is pushed aside. His expression is subtle for the rioting emotions just seeing her awaken. ]

[cyan_maid]

[And here's Jane, barely containing her giggles as she talks to one of the resort workers.]

Yes, I'm - pfft - absolutely serious! I'd like to order ALL of the - Hoo! - all of the bacon and eggs!

[Someone stop her before the joke goes too far!]

[perfectisnteasy]

[why stop her when he can help make it better? CLU grins]

And I'll take all the french toast!

[lord_wizard]

[Felix isn't shy about people, even if he know almost none of them. He'll settle in comfortably at a table somewhere with his modest plate and cup of coffee. It isn't mimosas and eggs benedict, for certain, but he's had worse, so he won't complain at all. He'll even give anyone passing by a friendly smile and a nod]

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[Ashura comes to sit with his hubby, his own plate filled with fruits. Being a dancer, he had a somewhat strict diet, even if his metabolism was ridiculously fast. So he had indulged and gotten some sausages and eggs too. Don't tell the company.]}

Morning.

[endthem]

[...too many people. They're everywhere. Ugh...

He's hanging around the edge of the food-tables, halfheartedly eyeing the selection (not spotting what he was quietly hoping for) and not really committing to getting in line.

...Maybe he'll just skip breakfast.]

[fishy_go_byebye]

[Del didn't sleep well.

She feels guilty about that, so she brings the french toast with powdered sugar on top, and just says:]

...No doughnuts. I was going to bring them, maybe we can make some, I promise not to pour the oil on anyone.

[This time.]

[peacockherald]

<sub>[Vanyel was up early to go and feed Yfandes, as was his way when it came to his animals, and there were some stray bits of straw stuck in his ponytail that he couldn't feel and didn't see - which was a rarity for the peacock.

He was perusing the offered spread, finally picking out french toast, a biscuit and jam, eggs, milk, and some fruit. It was vacation, he was allowed to indulge.

He went and found himself a seat, tucking in, quietly looking around for those he knew.]</sub>

[i_got_this]

Dood-- yoo got schtuff in your hayr. [Says South Dakota with stuff in her mouth, a few seats down.]

[luckyvalentine]

[...welp. She's supposed to be actually putting forth an effort to hang around her family, as well as get to know the family she's supposed to be joining... but she's not off to a great start.

This whole family thing is just not her area of expertise, and she's already run into a couple of surprises that have rattled her, so... she's procrastinating.

Instead of finding her or Crowley's families to sit with, she's kind of... wandering around with her plate in her hand, eating on the go.

Pretending to socialize is almost as good as the real thing, right?]

[gottaknockhard]

[Who knows why he's even up this early, but Spike breezes past her on his way to... wherever he goes. He seems to have a place in mind anyway. Not enough time for a greeting!

Also that bacon her plate might have disappeared somehow. Maybe there's a rogue squirrel thief hanging around.]

[fishy_go_byebye]

[Breakfast.

Del has deep smudges under her eyes, the paranoia and stress of family reunions bring a painful bout of insomnia.

Coffee or tea? Questions of the ages.]

[cricketycricket]

[tea, always and forever tea. Lakare spots her - ah yes, he has a few vague memories of her not doing well at the last one of these. he'll wander over, plate in one hand, tea in the other]

Alright?

[valuedstrength]

[Steve is going through everything because hey this is a pretty good selection even if he'd rather cook his own food. No worries about grabbing too much since hey apparently he isn't lacking any relatives to share it with.

Eventually he'll settle on some fruit, french toast, and coffee. The only issue now is he can't find where the rest of his family should be sitting. Feel free to say something to the clearly lost guy.]

[is0latedthinker]

[Alan's settled at a nearby table, cup of coffee in his hand as he leans back in his chair to observe the crowd. He's already done eating, empty cereal bowl on the table in front of him and a smaller empty plate at its side.]

Lost?

[He sounds faintly amused - it'd happened to him with this crowd at check-in yesterday.]
