//Could some people help send invitations to allies? I'll get whichever ones nobody wants to go to.
Greyscale was late, Greyscale was unprepared, Greyscale was worried. He had done as best a job as he could, but it still didn't seem like a big enough party to be an ally-wide one. The demon had chosen a nearby spot on the shores of the lake. He had laid picnic blankets down on the grass for more comfortable seating, and had managed to clear a small path to the playground just in case any children present wanted to play there. The path also acted as the main entrance to the slightly remote clearing, as was lined with colorful balloons so people knew the way. There was a long plastic table on the edge of the clearing, with was decorated with various flowers and picnic food (fruits and sandwiches and the like). He had even gotten his hands on a small boombox (set to a lower volume, obviously), and had spent a good hour trying to get it to work. He had found some karaoke CDs and had taken one of the worse-quality microphones (making sure Windchimes wouldn't miss it too much) just in case anyone wanted to try.
And lastly, the actual point of having the party near the lake. He wasn't sure what a lake good for swimming looked like, but hopefully it was fine. He had taken some of the pool toys from the indoor school pool and placed them near the water just in case anyone wanted to use them. He wasn't sure what they were for, only that they were probably used for fun in the water. Actually, the only reason he hadn't held the party indoors was simply because it was beginning to get warmer. They should enjoy the nice weather while it lasted (after all, this was the first summer he could remember). Plus the indoor pool hadn't been cleaned in a while, and looked pretty gross. He should ask Windchimes about that sometime.
Finally, Greyscale was done preparing. Using some school supplies, he had made a makeshift sign using construction paper and old markers, which fashioned many crudely-drawn flowers and the word 'welcome' in colorful bubble letters.
"Um, the party's about to start, if anyone wants to come in now!" he called, attempting to stick the poster to a nearby tree. He had insisted that no one come near his preparation area until he was done, so he wasn't sure if anyone even heard him.
