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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Since the area with all the informational signs was bound to get a bit clogged up, even more tables and chairs had been set up on the lawn, in a slightly different spot.

Priestly was still there, keeping an eye out for interesting new people.

Interesting?

Was someone dressed like an Edo-period samurai, right down to the sword 'interesting?'

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[lovemykilt]

It was different, Priestly would give 'em that.

He lifted a hand in a cheerful wave.

Kenshin gave him a nod in return.

'Bewildered' about summed up his expression. And his mood.

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[lovemykilt]

"New, right?"

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[saikyou-no.livejournal.com]

He nodded again.

"I am."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[lovemykilt]

Not much of a conversationalist, either. "I'm Priestly."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

"Himura."

He just wasn't used to talking much. And trying very hard not to make an idiot of himself.

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[lovemykilt]

"Nice to meetcha. Where you from?"

Priestly's punk garb was perhaps as interesting to Jack as Jack's Victorian suit might have been to Priestly. He'd simply never seen anything like it before.

And, well, it was hard not to notice the person in such wrapping was handsome. Jack wandered over, forming a question in his mind as he went. Something he was legitimately curious about, of course, but it also served as a point of conversation.

"Hello," he said. "I'm new, and I'm still trying to get my bearings. Where is there good food in town?"

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[lovemykilt]

Priestly's brain took one look at the Victorian jacket and went Steampunk, awesome!

Yeah, he's a quick one.

"Luke's, man, totally. Especially on Thursdays."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[bitten_notshy]

Steampunk actually wouldn't be a bad reaction to Jack's world as a whole.

"What's Luke's?" he asked. "And why Thursdays?"

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[lovemykilt]

"It's the diner in town. I mean, sure, you've got the fancy pants place and the Chinese place and the Thai place and the pizza place, but Luke's has pie." Not that none of the other places did. "And Thursdays because that's when I'm working."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[bitten_notshy]

"So I should come in on Thursdays and have pie," Jack repeated. "Thank you. I think I can fit that into my excruciatingly busy schedule. I'm surprised there is Chinese, Thai and Italian in a place this small."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[lovemykilt]

"The Thai surprises me a little. Then again, considering the amount of people from Asian or Asian-like cultures on the island, it makes sense. As for how they all stay open . . . apparently we all like to eat that much."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[bitten_notshy]

"Three times a day, I suppose," Jack said lightly. "Though I can't remember that I've ever even had Thai food myself."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[lovemykilt]

"Really? Oh man, you're in for a treat there, then. Do you like peanuts?"

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

"Did you lose a bet?" Parker asked.

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[lovemykilt]

Oh, that was original. "Not even a little. Why, did you?"

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[abetterthief.livejournal.com]

"Not this time," Parker said, unperturbed. "Does it take a long time to get your hair to stand up like that? It looks like it would."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[lovemykilt]

"Nah. But I got lots of practice."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[abetterthief.livejournal.com]

"Does it feel funny?" Without waiitng for an invitation, Parker reached out to see for herself.

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[lovemykilt]

Priestly ducked his head a little to give her better reach. "No weirder than any gelled hair."

Well, gelled within an inch of its life hair, anyway.

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[abetterthief.livejournal.com]

"It's kind of crunchy," Parker observed.

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[lovemykilt]

"You kinda need a lot of hold to get it to stand up like that."
