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

The recent cold front had been a welcome weather pattern as far as Zoe was concerned, and she was very grateful for how things had turned out today - it was sunny and breezy, and just cool enough that no one would pass out from heat exhaustion. Hopefully.

Beneath the blue and gold streamers and balloons, tables had been set up with drinks and food, including an entire table of ~~moddable~~ different ice cream flavors. As always, there was a stack of nametags set down next two signs: one listing the Big Sibling/Little Sibling pairings, and one listing rooms and roommates for the new students.

[OCD is up! Have at it! This is part one of the picnic, specifically for meeting siblings, roommates, and teachers. The rest of the picnic is happening here and here, in an effort to keep browsers from breaking for as long as possible. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"Is the cheer squad any good?" Quinn asked, craning her neck to see if she could spot any uniforms. "My team at home won nationals last year."

She simply filed the church information under things it was good to know. "Our Lady" sounded Catholic, and Quinn really wasn't, but ... church was church, right?

Claudia would say so, but then, Claudia wasn't really into that sort of stuff. "Dunno. I . . . really don't follow sports." She shrugged a little sheepishly. "I took a self defense class last session? I'm probably lucky I didn't break anything."

"I'm supposed to take gym this term," Quinn said, by way of conversation. "I'll figure it out."

Changing the topic, she added, "So do you have a boyfriend or anything that I should know about?"

Who knew -- maybe Fandom guys liked soldering geeks.

"Why would you need to know about a -- oh." That maybe answered her question right there. "I'm tight with a couple of guys. But nothing serious. But yeah, if a giant shirtless guy shows up? That's just Jacob. He likes to ask when I'm gonna blow stuff up."

"I like to know if I can expect to get sexiled," Quinn explained. (She'd made a vow, but she didn't think everyone else had.) "Jacob sounds cool. My boyfriend's named Finn, but he's back home."

"Oh, Jacob's not my -- I mean, he's a great guy, very sweet, but he's more of just, like, a guy friend. Must be tough leaving your boyfriend back home, though."

"It is," Quinn said simply. "But I figure it'll just make him want me more."

"Yeah, but won't you want him more, too?"

"It's a boy-girl thing," Quinn explained, patronizing. "I can withstand temptation much easier than he can."

She refused to admit she had desires. Celibacy club had brainwashed her that way. (Also, she was lying.)

"I'm actually pretty sure there's no biological basis for that. But sure."

"So glad we're in agreement," Quinn said. (Biology, shmiology.) "Anything else I should know, or should I just bring my stuff up and take a bed?"

"Well, the made bed is mine. I don't have any pets or anything, so you don't have to worry about that, and there usually aren't any gremlins lurking around, so you're probably good."

Quinn nodded. That all sounded pretty standard (and she was relieved to hear she wouldn't have to deal with somebody else's pet). "Then I'll see you up there."

"Guess so. Enjoy the picnic."
