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!]

"So, how was your Christmas?" Jennifer asked, changing the subject a little.

"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."

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

"Me too," Jennifer said. "And I''ll be grateful when I can turn back to being the big green me, too."

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."

"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."

"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."

"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.

"Well, give me a week or so, and I'll probably change back. Don't want to freak out the new kids too fast," Jennifer said.

"Yeah, better not. By the way, it's so weird, watching the new kids learn about the basics of this place," Kate mused. "Almost makes me feel old."

"Yeah, no kidding," Jennifer said. "I've only been here since the summer, and I'm starting to get that feeling. Like I'm a... grizzled old vet or something."

Kate nodded. "I have a fake little brother this time, and I didn't really even know how to begin explaining Fandom to him, 'cause I've already seen so much here."

"Oh, it's always tricky," Jennifer said. "What's his name?"

"Kurt Wagner," Kate said. And yes, she pronounced it near-correctly. "He seems to be from one of the worlds where some people have superpowers, though, so it wasn't too hard."

"Perfect," Jennifer said. "The less brain-breaking, the better. I'll keep an eye out for him, though. Make sure to treat him extra nice."

"Please do," Kate said. "I did tell him the people here are nice."

"Well, it's not like I was going to be mean or anything," Jennifer said. "But yeah. Little sibs of friends get special treatment."
