It's time for a picnic! Are you on a date or just hanging out with a friend? What kind of food did you bring--homemade, store-bought, or take-out? The nice thing about picnics is you can have them just about anywhere, like the park or your front lawn or that little grassy patch by your apartment building. You don't even have to sit on the ground, honestly, that's what picnic tables are for! Hopefully it's a nice sunny day and you don't get rained out, but maybe you brought an umbrella just in case.

[Tabris and Alistair exchange a look that is really no more than a shared wince. They have no context for the plus one situation, as it hadn't come up for the Wardens that were taking part, but judging by that reaction, the keg is An Issue.]

I'm... starting to get the idea that you weren't expecting the keg either?

[Tabris squints over at the circle of people around Hawke.]

Is that Carver's sister?

[Alistair lights up in recognition next to her.]

Oh! It is!

[He drops his voice into a conspiratorial whisper.]

Do you think that's why he called in sick?

Probably! So, uh. Was this supposed to be a sober event or did we just not approve the honest to maker keg? We can totally steal the keg, if you need it to mysteriously disappear.

[Egg breathes deeply to calm her laughs and shakes her head. Her expression is somewhere between deeply amused and horrified, like she can't decide whether this is the best day of her career or her worst.]

Oh, I should have seen this coming! I really should have seen this coming.

[She lowers her voice.]

May the Dread Wolf take me...

[Good thing she's speaking quietly because he's RIGHT THERE probably standing with Cole and looking disapprovingly at people having fun or something...Egg looks down at her clipboard with a stack of papers detailing activities, the agenda for the day, and bingo sheets that someone suggested as a 'getting to know you' activity. They're all useless now! She unclips the papers from the clipboard, drops the clipboard on the ground, and then tears the papers in half in one swift motion. With that done, Egg finally looks back at Tabris and Alistair.]

Well! That's that I suppose! It wouldn't really matter if you stole the keg at this point because Cassandra has already seen it. Not that I don't appreciate the offer! It's just--this wasn't really supposed to be that kind of picnic?

[Egg is going into the zen zone about this situation. They shouldn't have made her be in charge of this picnic anyway. And who knows? Maybe it's not that bad. Maybe instead of a stupid corporate picnic this can just be fun for real? And maybe people will actually still bond because they're enjoying spending time together.]

I guess there's really no point in pretending that this is going to go the way we planned it anymore.
