Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part II

Oh look, there are tables and chairs over here too. Enjoy the food!

[~~WAIT FOR THE OCD PLEASE.~~ OCD IS UP. This is the FIRST post for general mingling. Please use this post first, if your browser can handle the comment load. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are here and there is more room for mingling here.]

Eat, drink, and be merry until the post starts to break your browser.

Yes, I'm trying something new this time around, with both mingling posts going up at the same time. Some people have crappier computers than others.

Max had left her bike stashed somewhere and was currently exploring this island.

She came upon the picnic and realized she was at some kind of school. Huh. For some reason, she found this place intriguing. It certainly needed further scrutiny.

Karal was happily mingling, in his robes (it was a special occasion; formal was called for) and warm cloak, with Altra padding by his side.

Their mingling tended to be centred around the food tables, because a certain Firecat kept demanding to be fed.

Naomi was there and mingling.

Amber sat down an an out of the way spot; a chair under the overhang of a large tree. It's not that she was hiding, per se, it was just that this was new. New school. New people. Slightly intimidating.

Zoe was making her way around the grounds with Grace, getting a feel for what the crowd was like, and trying to greet as many new people as she could. She smiled when she spotted a student she hadn't seen before. "Hi there," she said. "Welcome."

"Uh, hi," Max replied. She hadn't expected anyone to talk to her. Especially not a woman with a baby. "Thanks."

"I'm Principal Washburn," she said, by way of introduction, "and this is Grace."

The Principal. Max was pretty sure that meant she was in charge. She wondered if she was about to get booted. "I'm Max," she replied, giving a finger wave to the baby.

She wasn't jealous at all that the baby was with her mother, oh no.

Andrew was determined not to be a wallflower today, so he headed right for the center of activity.

He then just stood there, smiling at random people and trying to figure out what to do with his hands to look cool.

Being merry was what Rikku did best. She was bouncing around at the picnic, wandering, grabbing snacks, making chit-chat, and having a grand old time. As you do.

"Hey Rikku," Ron said with a wave. "Your roommate decide to tear herself away from her books yet?"

Isabel got herself a hot chocolate then found a spot off to the side to sit and watch. It was weird to think this was one of the last times she'd be doing this.

"Hiya!" Rikku bounced and waved back. "I dunno if she's coming or not? But she toooootally should. There are newbies around! We get to tell them how weird Fandom is and freak 'em out! Isn't that awesome!??!"

"Well that's not very nice is it?" Ron said. "Which doesn't we shouldn't do that but I thought it was important just to put that out there before doing it."

And lo and behold, Jeff wandered by, wielding a sign that was truly... well, unwieldy, really. "Have you seen my dog?" he asked of Andrew, spinning around suddenly as he hit a rock, swinging the sign at the boy's head.

Grace smiled and made a babbling noise at Max.

"She says hello," Zoe said. "You're a new arrival, right? Did you have any trouble finding us?"

"If it makes you feel any better," Rikku giggled, "we're telling them the truth. They just think they're being teased a lot. It's like a rite of passage thingy. They'll be pestering the next group a few months from now."

Okay, so not getting kicked out. Interesting.

"Actually, I sort of stumbled upon you," Max admitted, curious to see what kind of reaction that would get. "I'm not really sure where ~~or when~~ I am."

"Oh! I see. I kind of missed that bit since I got to school later than everyone else last term," Ron said as he looked around the crowd. "Then again the only strange thing here are the professors and everything that uses eckletricity. I mean the paintings don't talk back and the stairs don't even move around on you."

Andrew wasn't expecting to get smacked in the face, but standing there, hand pressed against his temple, he wasn't all that surprised. "Ouch," he said. This is why he avoids organized sports.

"Is there blood," he asked Jeff, removing the hand temporarily and cringing.

"You did?" Rikku frowned. "I missed my first picnic, too. Just didn't realize it in time to show up, I guess. How come you were late?"

She blinked, a little taken aback. "Your ... other school did that?" Man, talking paintings sounded sweet.

Stumbling seemed to be more and more common to Zoe, so she managed to set aside her surprise after a moment, to switch gears. "Oh. You're in a place called Fandom, in Virginia, in the United States," she said. She could add the Earth part later, if it seemed necessary.
