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

The benches in this section were a little further from the bonfire than the others. If people were sensible, they might want to keep all their clothes on over here, but Fandom, of course, has never been graced with an overabundance of sensible people.

[Please wait for OCD! OCD is up! This is the SECOND post for general mingling. Use this post if your browser can't handle the comment load of the first mingling post. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"Me too. It was just... so unnecessary. Eww," Kate concluded. "But anyways. How've you been?"

"Well, good for the most part," Jennifer said. "Home life is getting better. My room kinda feels empty sometimes, here."
vanillajello: (What the hell are you saying?)

"Well, that's good, about your home, I mean," Kate nodded. "But don't you-- didn't you have a roommate?"

"George left mid-term," Jennifer said. "So now it's just me, Rosencrantz, and Guildenstern."
vanillajello: (Talking.)

"Oh right," Kate nodded. She'd forgotten about that. "Are Rosencrantz and Guildenstern pets of some kind?"

"Goldfish," Jennifer said. "Pretty resilient ones, too. They're just low maintenance enough for me."
vanillajello: (Smiling sideways.)

"I have two plants," Kate shared. "That's about the level of responsibility I'm willing to take."

"Pretty safe choice," Jennifer said. "Did you name them?"
vanillajello: (Smiling and looking down.)

Kate chuckled. "The pothos is called Patrick. The cactus is still nameless 'cause I keep forgetting to ask Leto for proper desert plant names."

"Leto's big on desert plants?" Jennifer said. "I don't think Alice ever mentioned that."
vanillajello: (All amused at you.)

"I don't think he's big on desert plants, as such," Kate said, "But he does come from a desert. And I got the cactus from him. So I think it should have an Arrakis name."

See how well she avoided doing anything about the mention of Alice?

"Oh, cool," Jennifer said, not even noticing. She wasn't aware at all about the... love triangle or whatever it was.

"My goldfish are just plain old goldfish. Hence good old normal names."

Normal names. Really.
vanillajello: (All amused at you.)

Really, it was starting to look more like a rectangle by now. And love had very little to do with as far as Kate was concerned.

At least that's what she told herself. Moving on.

"Normal names," Kate echoed, amused.

"So, how was your Christmas?" Jennifer asked, changing the subject a little.
vanillajello: (Smiling.)

"Christmas was good. Very, very lazy and normal and kinda boring, which is good," Kate said, smiling. "I went home for a while."

"Me too," Jennifer said. "Time with the family is always good. Okay, usually good. But the sentiment is always there."
vanillajello: (Smiling sideways.)

"Usually, yeah," Kate allowed. "I was happy to be back in Fandom too, though."

Re: More General Mingling [Spring 2010]

"Me too," Jennifer said. "And I''ll be grateful when I can turn back to being the big green me, too."
vanillajello: (What the hell are you saying?)

Kate's eyebrow quirked. "You're doing that on purpose nowadays?" Wow. They really hadn't talked in a while, had they?

"When I want to, even," Jennifer said. "A by-product of a trip home not too long ago. Long story. But now I don't have to get angry to switch over."
vanillajello: (Talking to T.)

"So you, what? Like it now?"

Just curious, no judgment here.

Jennifer held up a hand, counting off her perceived benefits on her fingers. "Stronger, harder to hurt, taller, and prettier. There really isn't a downside, now."
vanillajello: (Talking.)

"Except for the whole green thing," Kate said. "Not that green isn't a good color. But you're pretty as you are."

"Thanks," Jennifer said. "But it's hard to deny that I've got a much better body when I'm green."
vanillajello: (Smiling.)

"Well, I wouldn't know," Kate said with ease, and shrugged. "I haven't seen you like that."

She wasn't sure she wanted to.
