[adventurerextraordinaire]

Who: Cade Masters and Caroline Martinez 
What: Preparing for and going on a picnic
Where: 1664 Nelson and John Doe Park
When: June 7th, late morning.
Warnings: Cade Masters!


[Cade was rather excited when Caroline agreed to go on a picnic with him, but he tries to play it cool. He's purchased a bag full of different goodies to prepare their lunch with, as well as a quaint wood picnic basket and a red-and-white-checkered flannel blanket.
He pulls his car in front (managing to stay off the sidewalk this time) and waltzes up to the door with his hands full of stuff. He barely manages to ring the door bell while still holding on to it all.]

[Caroline was probably less excited, but hey, after the odd week where she sort rounded third base with him, she should at least get to know the guy. And hopefully not lose her temper and beat him with a picnic basket.

He rings the bell and she answers the door dressed casually in a long skirt and short sleeve blouse.]

Hey, Cade. You brought enough to feed an army! Come in before you drop something.

"Heh, yeah, I kind of got carried away, I guess. I wasn't sure what you wanted to make so I got a little of everything..."

[Cade walks awkwardly in, trying not to drop everything and look where he's going.]

[fifthtimearound]

[After closing the door, Caroline takes some of the bags off of his hands.]

Let's get this in the kitchen. I don't think we'll need all of this for lunch, we'll just have to send some back home with you.

[adventurerextraordinaire]

"Yeah, okay."

[Cade follows her into the kitchen and sets the bags down on the counter.]

"So, what did you want to make? I got bread and tortillas and beef and chicken and sliced turkey and lettuce and tomato and avocado and carrots and apples and oranges and carrots and bacon and..."

[fifthtimearound]

You got everything. Seriously, Cade, there's only the two of us.

[She starts poking through the bags.]

Sandwiches are always good picnic food, since they don't have to stay hot or cold.

[adventurerextraordinaire]

"Oh yeah, sandwiches would be great.
They are actually kind of a new thing on my world. I'm surprised it took so long for someone to think up putting some meat between two slices of bread..."

[fifthtimearound]

They're pretty much a staple in my world. Almost anything can be turned into a sandwich.

[She nabs the avacados to start getting them peeled and sliced up.]

[adventurerextraordinaire]

[Cade follows suit and starts slicing some tomato.]

"So what kind of stuff do you like on your sandwiches?"

[fifthtimearound]

Avacados, chicken, bacon, ranch dressing, tomatoes, onions, hot sauce, Swiss cheese, cheddar cheese, peppers . . .

Not all on the same sandwich. That would be gross. [She tosses the pit from the avocado in the garbage and starts turning it into neat slices.]

[adventurerextraordinaire]

[Cade puts the sliced tomato where either of them can use it.]

"I like pheasant, but it seems that they don't have any in Mayfield for some reason."

[fifthtimearound]

Since this place is supposed to be like my world, you're not going to find a lot of pheasant. Isn't chicken close enough? Or turkey? They're both birds. I did seem some duck at the grocery store, but they're whole ducks, not sandwich meat.

[She adds the avocados to their growing pile of sandwich fixings, then turns to rummage around in the bags.]

[adventurerextraordinaire]

"Eh, the turkey will do fine, I'm just reminiscing. So what do you want to eat with the sandwiches? I got plenty of fruit."

[Washes some apples.]

[fifthtimearound]

Fruit is good. I should have some potato chips in the cupboard, too. Not as healthy, but nothing that tastes good is actually good for you.

[adventurerextraordinaire]

"Ah, that's not true! Few things taste better than a fresh strawberry."

[Better with some whip cream, though ...]
