[ Cisco Ramon loves himself a picnic, and this whole event is having the unintended effect of making him feel rather nostalgic. Last year, this picnic had taken place the day that he showed up on this moon, swept away from Central City, from S.T.A.R. Labs and the life he'd known. He'd been disoriented and apprehensive, that first time. Penniless, friendless, and feeling like there was nowhere in the multiverse he could possibly belong.
Things are different, now, and he intends to celebrate that to the fullest.
He spends entirely too long preparing, and shows up to the park with nine (9) picnic blankets that he arranges into a massive patchwork party-picnic blanket.

[ Cisco is currently hanging very precariously onto a tree branch, having scrambled up along with another member of the crowd when, out of freaking nowhere, a crocodile had come up out of the water and started attacking people. It hadn't gotten scared off by the screaming, either. It's still roaming the area just under the tree, big and powerful and scaly. The branch is hanging far lower than Cisco's comfortable with, and there's a faint note of panic in his voice. ]
Is it rabid? Can crocs even get rabies?! Where the hell's the Guard, anyway?
[ Just then, there's a rather ominous creaking sound coming from the branch beneath him, and it sways, dipping down a little as it starts to crack. Cisco shoots a frightened look at the person clinging to the branch with him, and asks: ]
