It's a good spot.

Two diagonal picnic tables are parked a within roasting fork distance of the fire pit. It starts as a small, flickering fire, but once everyone's gathered, Elliott takes the opportunity to kick the night off and turn up the heat with the aid of a few magical fireballs.

There's hotdogs and an overlaying grill to cook up Yotsuyu's mix of meat and veggie kebabs. A cooler filled with soda and water bottles sits further away to avoid premature melting. Cookies and marshmallows or s'mores feature as dessert- or dinner, if that's anyone's preference.

For entertainment, Roselia makes a live, musical debut with Lisa as its sole performer. Meanwhile, Elliott does his best to encourage socialization and facilitate any necessary introductions. There's even a volleyball net and ball, and at least one attempt is made to form teams and get a game going.

But for the quieter sorts, dark, ocean waves lap at the shore outside the firelight. The weather is perfectly clear, and the location affords a rare opportunity to enjoy the stars. There might even be a cat playing in the sand somewhere nearby.

Some accouterments (like cutlery or extra chairs) might have been accidentally overlooked.

...He tried okay.

"I think we'll probably have all the same conflicts and interpersonal stuff that comes with a lot of people from very different backgrounds coming together around a single commonality." A tiny pause, though, "But that doesn't mean we can't be a community, anyway."

"I don't understand how anyone can really not like you." Which is sort of true, sort of not. "Do you want to give me a name for the weirdo or should I just work on process of elimination?"

"Everyone's struggling and sometimes coping mechanisms can create conflict if they're different enough." But also.

Also.

"And some people are just assholes."

"Maybe. There are options. You can be compassionate and careful though, so maybe aim for the balance there?"

Look, he worries.
