[connor may not be especially happy these days, but he's competitive without the extra nudge in the right direction. for the first time in weeks he feels a drive to do something, not just mope around and cry about life and damn it he's going to use it. the first thing he does is write invitations to all his friends and acquaintances* that he's going to hold a picnic, yes, a picnic in the park. just in the outskirts, where it still looks vaguely friendly even if it's still in a cave.
after sending off the invites, there's tons of work to be done. off to the shops hes goes to collect food stuffs, some blankets, some vaguely picnic basket shaped objects. not all of it is easy, of course, in fact it tends to be the opposite but connor isn't about to let that deter him or deter his mood. he perseveres, finding something even in the places it looks like there's nothing. look - this broken snowglobe might be the perfect thing to give someone to make them happy. that's how video game sidequests always work, right? one man's junk may unlock another man's substory.
you'll find he's also in an especially good mood if you walk past him. positively beaming with delight, even.]
Hey [fill in your name here unless he doesn't know it in which case "you"] I hope you're having a great day today.
[yeah piece of cake he's totally got this.]
option b: picnic (3/16)
[alright fam it's the big day of the big picnic. he's invited all the guests, gotten all the food, brought blankets and baskets that were probably for collecting eggs from a bunny rather than picnics in truly hideous colors but WHATEVER, man, its the thought that counts. it's all laid out and now he just has to wait for the guests, and any of their guests and any party crashers -- look, the point is, the more the merrier.
and, really, that seems to be what he's planned for because he's assembled a ridiculously large assortment of food. he's got a little wagon he brought it all on -- isn't that just simply delightful? yeah, yeah it is. he's also got a couple of balls of various sizes and what look to be homemade lacrosse sticks. it's gonna be the best picnic ever.]
We deserve to have a good time after all the shit we've been through, right? I'm super glad I get to spend it with you.
[all of you, really, even the randos.**]
option c: is for closed to roommates
[jade and matt might notice their home is a bit different these days - first of all, connor seems to have gone to the liberty of picking some wildflowers. they are in the most gauche flower pots you could ever imagine (guess that won't be a problem for matt, though!) but you can tell a lot of love has gone into collecting and planting these things. like the person who set them up went to a lot of detail to make them lovely despite their flaws. the flowers are two fold, of course: they look great, but also smell great.
secondly, he also went to a lot of trouble to get extra fruit from the orchard just for them. some of it went to the picnic, of course, but a few extra bunny-egg baskets got donated to their kitchen, filled with some fruit options so it's not all canned beans. unfortunately the fruit seems to be a lot of the more difficult kinds. think: looks like a dragon fruit, opens like a pomegranate. difficulty in getting to the edible parts aside, all the fruit is edible and probably tastes great.
anyways, he's all about spreading good cheer in their house. cooking dinner for all three of them? check. dumb games after dinner for good spirits? check. he even sets out a puzzle to work out - too bad in cavehell all the puzzles are missing pieces and they'll never be finished but its the thought that counts.
turn that frown upside down roomies he's on the watch and any time the two of them seem upset near him he's here with a comforting shoulder and a verbal description of cat pictures.]

**feel free to threadjack each other ofc - i'll have connor float around with everyone, though.))
