Blakely Arcas stood in the kitchen of the Arcas mansion, surveying her work with a mix of pride and mild anxiety. The picnic basket in front of her was packed, brimming with sandwiches, fruit, and an assortment of snacks—some store-bought, some mostly homemade. Blakely wasn't exactly a chef, but she'd put her heart into making this picnic special.
Today was the first of her planned date days, and her goal was simple: take each of her girlfriends out for a date they'd never forget. It had been far too long since they'd had time for something like this—time to just relax and enjoy each other's company without the pressures of the World System or the chaos of Morphantasia looming over them. And first up on her list was Maven, her girlfriend who loved both adventure and relaxation in equal measure.
