"We need to do some public service events," Gentyl said. She was sitting under her favorite tree, fishing and drinking cherry grog when she said it. Some of the Guards were fishing or sprawled out in the grass relaxing. Iecia was arranging her toes in alphabetical order.
"What kind of public service?" Ulthryn asked.
"Something to help youngsters. We have several squires who need to earn promotions and public service has always been the preferred step to promotion."
Genytl reeled in a fish and put it on the line, then lowered the line back into the water. Traveler raised his muzzle out of the cherry grog keg at the sound of the splashing. His gray head was now stained a glaring red from submersing it in the grog and blowing bubbles. Gentyl reached her mug over and dipped out more before the horse decided to bury his head in the grog again.
"We should fix sammiches," Iecia said.
"I love picnics," Catrella sighed.
All of the women agreed while the men tried to ignore it and hope the subject would soon pass.
"We should have a box social," Gentyl said. "We used to have those at the abbey to raise funds for rebuilding projects. We can combine the best of both things, raising money to buy things for youngsters and picnics."
Cray was the first one to break the silence from the men. "What is a box social, Sepha?"
"It's where the women fix up a nice picnic lunch, decorate the box and the auctioneer sells it. Whoever buys the lunch gets to have a picnic with the woman who made it."
The women all clapped and immediately started buzzing about what to fix. Finn groaned and slipped away from the crowd.
"Stop!" Gentyl said before the rest of the men disappeared. "This is for a good cause. Buck up and participate."
"Can I just donate some things?" Baridin asked.
"Yes, donate your fine dwarven body to the box social and bid on a lunch."
"Will you be cooking, Sepha?" Taelanas asked with some misgiving.
"Probably. It's for a good cause."
"As you wish. I will increase our insurance in case someone sues us."
((So, here is how I think it will work. Ladies will prepare or buy enough food for two people. They will then mail a letter describing what the box looks like. The auctioneer will describe the box he is holding up and the bidding will commence. If the ladies wish a certain gentleman to bid on her picnic, she would most likely tell him ahead of time what it looks like. The ladies will hold their food and when their "box" is auctioned off then they will step forward and take their winning bidder to picnic.
Since this is a fund raiser, be a good sport if someone you don't know gets your picnic and have a pleasant lunch.
It will be something different to do and give people a chance to meet new people and possibly lead to some interesting rp.
Alliance side will be at 4:00 pm realm time. I don't know the location yet and if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I won't be available in game to check out the locations.
We also need an auctioneer and we will need people with portable mail boxes so the auctioneer can retrieve last minute picnics.
The horde side box social will take place at 6:00 pm server and will be hosted by Homeland.
Feel free to post suggestions, intentions to attend and comments.))
