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.

Kenshin gave him a nod in return.

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

"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."

"Himura."

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

[lovemykilt]

"Nice to meetcha. Where you from?"

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[saikyou-no.livejournal.com]

"Kyoto," he replied. "...Which is farther away than I thought it was, I think. Everything here is different."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

"Woah, yeah, man. All the way across the world, even. Uh, just out of curiosity . . . what's the date back where you're from?"

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[saikyou-no.livejournal.com]

"1863 Bunkyuu three," he replied. "You're the second one to ask me that."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[lovemykilt]

"Aaaaaaaaaam I also the second one to have no idea what that date means?"

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[saikyou-no.livejournal.com]

"The other man seemed to have an idea," he replied, frowning slightly. "I don't know the calendar outside Japan though."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[lovemykilt]

"Fair enough. What do you think of the place so far?"

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[saikyou-no.livejournal.com]

"...It's confusing," he admitted.

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[lovemykilt]

"You get used to that after awhile."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[saikyou-no.livejournal.com]

"...I can't imagine it."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[lovemykilt]

"Yeah, you get used to that, too."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[saikyou-no.livejournal.com]

"It must leave you pretty jaded," he commented, in one of his occasional spurts of insightfulness.

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[lovemykilt]

Priestly considered this. ". . . Yeah, I guess. But only in between, like, fighting zombies and distracting alien invaders."

...

"...What?!"

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[lovemykilt]

Priestly grinned. "Yeah, I didn't have any of those back home, either."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

"Ahhhh.... Is that kind of thing... normal here?" he asked. His left hand was always near his sword, but it strayed infinitesimally closer.

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[lovemykilt]

"Coupla times a year, apparently. But, hey, don't worry about it -- half the students here are superheroes."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[saikyou-no.livejournal.com]

"I'm not worried," he stated. "Just surprised."

Pause.

"What's a 'superhero'?"

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[lovemykilt]

"Like a hero only . . . super."

Priestly was the best explainer ever.

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[saikyou-no.livejournal.com]

"That doesn't really explain anything," he pointed out.
