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

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Yup. There was still food. And tables. Nothing new about any of that, sadly. But maybe there would be shirtlessness? One can always hope, ya know. Dream big.

Dream big.

Not you, Jono. Eeeew.

"Then maybe I should complain to one of them," she decided.

...Oh that would go wonderfully.

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2009)

Fantastically, even.

"You could try," Ino conceded. "But do you really want a rep of being no-fun on your first day here?"

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2009)

[officetightass]

"I have fun on my own time, and not at school events." Uh. "I'm here to learn, not ogle."

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2009)

[intraspective]

"Yes," she said, aiming for patiently. "But there's no learning being done today, so it's not really hurting anything if people want to lose their shirts, right? You don't have to look."

"It's kind of hard not to, when he's drawing attention to himself like that. It's just not right." There was almost even a pout in there. She couldn't be the only one who thought this way.

"That's just Hannibal," Ino said, smiling slightly. "He likes attention. If you act like it bothers you, he'll keep doing it 'cause it's fun. He's really nice, though."

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2009)

"Provoking me is not nice," she pointed out. "He just won't get any more attention from me." Till it drove her crazy and she tattled, anyway.

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2009)

"Maybe he's having an off day," she replied. "But see, that's a good thing, ignoring what you don't like."

Though Ino was fairly sure that'd be a hard thing to do with Fandom.

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2009)

[officetightass]

"Maybe I should do that more. After all, you can't change some people." Again, she'd let it drive her crazy and tattle.

Also, uh, let's talk about how you typically can't just change a person at all...

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2009)

[intraspective]

True!

"People do tend to stick 'bout the way they are," she said, and laughed. "Did you come to Fandom knowing it'd be like this?"

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2009)

Outside talk of 'whimsy', no one had told Angela anything about this place. Well, besides the mandatory dances. "Like this?" she repeated.

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2009)

[intraspective]

"Um," Ino considered that. Was no one talking about the weird today? "Like all the different people, and stuff?"

That seemed... fairly safe.

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2009)

[officetightass]

"There are many people here, yes," said Angela, and if her tone was a little slow, it was because no seriously, no one had told her anything yet.

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2009)

[intraspective]

"Alrighty then," Ino said, brightly. "So, um, there's a lot more to it, and you'll probably think I'm crazy, but that's okay. 'Cause, uh, I'm not. So, like, all these people? Are probably not from the same world as you. Fandom sits on a dimensional nexus or something so people, when they say they come from everywhere? Really seriously do."

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2009)

[officetightass]

Angela's face stayed impassive, but she stared for a moment. "I do think you're crazy," she said.

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2009)

[intraspective]

"That's okay," she said, almost serenely. "You'll find out better."
