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

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

The weather was still lovely, of course. And there were all these neat tables of moddable snackies to help break those awkward silences that were so common with teenage get-togethers.

So... yeah.

Enjoy!

She bit her lip. He had seemed... mostly tolerable.

"I could--try?" So very dubiously. "A little?"

A tiny amount.

"I've just never d--had the time."

Tolerable? Hey, that was a step up or something.

He smiled at her. "No one said you've got to start big. Eat chocolate or ice cream. Watch a movie. Read a book if you enjoy that sort of thing. Pull a prank. Mock the newbies and break their brains. You might have to wait until September for that."

"I wouldn't want to," she said, frowning. "That doesn't sound fun at all."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"What? All of it?" he frowned. "Or just the brain breaking? It's kind of inevitable."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

"Pranks and brain breaking," she said, a bit stiffly. "I enjoy reading."

"Okay then, we at least know in which direction to look," he chuckled. "The school's got a pretty big library."

For the first time, Rosalind looked quietly interested.

"I'll have to look into that." See what this world had to offer for books.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh," he nodded. "Don't forget to come out again and enjoy the sun." She looked like she hadn't been getting enough of that.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[give-areason.livejournal.com]

"I get out plenty," she informed him haughtily.

... Just not in the last two and a half months.

"Good then I don't need to come drag you out," he grinned. He was joking. Probably. "It's less embarrassing for everyone."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[give-areason.livejournal.com]

"Would you really do that?" she asked, resisting the urge to cross her arms. "To someone you just met?"

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Maybe," he smirked at her. "Make it a challenge and then definitely."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[give-areason.livejournal.com]

What had she gotten herself into?

Hmph.

"I'll let you figure out where I'm rooming then," she informed him, a little sharply. "Since you're fond of challenges."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"That almost sounds like you're already trying to get rid of me," he remarked, sounding more amused than anything else.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[give-areason.livejournal.com]

"If that's too complicated for you then you're not up to much of a challenge."

Someone was arrogant, yes.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

He raised an eyebrow. "I'm up for a challenge," he assured her. He could just go look at the sheet with the room assignments. "You like muffins?"

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[give-areason.livejournal.com]

She gave him a look like he was crazy.

"Muffins?"

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"You'll see," he decided that was just going to be easier.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[give-areason.livejournal.com]

And now she knew he was crazy.

"I'll see," Rosalind said faintly. Fantastic. Well--muffins. How bad could it be?

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"It's good," he acquiesced at her tone. "It's something to eat."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[give-areason.livejournal.com]

"I'm not an idiot," she said, bristling. "I know what muffins are."

Rosalind was just failing at connecting the dots from 'being dragged out' to 'muffins'. Yes.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

Oh. Jake had long since moved on as she'd given him a different challenge by now.

He held up his hands in peace offering. "Sorry, I thought you might not have those where you're from."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[give-areason.livejournal.com]

She was so doomed.

"We have muffins," Rosalind said firmly. They did.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Good to know," he said easily as if the whole getting her annoyed thing hadn't happened. "It'd be sad growing up without muffins."
