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

More tables and chairs had been set up further out on the lawn, where there weren't as many trees, and so there wasn't as much shade either. Still, it was bound to be quieter over here than closer to the main area.

[OCD is up! Have at it! 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!]

Alexander grew up in a land where bears lived in houses and wore clothing. He should be fine, so long as no one was trying to kill him or put him in a jar.

"I've heard of gremlins," he said in a low tone, having read something about them in one of Manannan's books. "They do sound like troublesome creatures. This land has an abundance of them? And sketches? Do you draw, then?"

"There's quite a few gremlins running around, and they get into the dorms. That's why you have to watch out," said Harper. "And I draw, paint, and sew. I'm fairly artistic."

She had the talent for the arts, alright. Harper was just lacking in taste.

Keep an eye out for gremlins. Alexander nodded, noting to do just that, but then he realized one issue with that.

"Er, what do they look like? Gremlins?"

The book didn't have pictures. "You could draw one for me?"

"I should draw one! That's a really cool idea," said Harper, excited. "They're short, green critters with large ears in comparison to their heads. Oh, and they have sharp teeth. That's the part you have to be worried about because they like to bite people, and people who get bitten have these vivid hallucinations."

"Hallucinations!" Alexander's eyes widened a little. "Of what sort? That does sound unpleasant!"

"Imagine someone catching you doing the most embarrassing thing ever, because that's what it like when it finally wears off," said Harper. "When I got bitten, I showed up at work with a guitar and danced around like I was in a music video."

"...I don't believe I know what a music video is," Alexander admitted sheepishly, wondering if it was as bad as he was thinking.

"Definitely not from New York, then," said Harper, thinking for a moment before announcing, "I'll have to introduce you to MTV, though they don't really play videos anymore."
