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

[bigdamnprincipal]

In order to give people a place to get away from the traffic jam of the buffet and information tables, most of the chairs and tables had been set up further out on the lawn, away from the school building. The bonfires were going strong, and there was plenty of room for everyone to sit down and enjoy themselves. Assuming they weren't too busy still trying to figure this place out.

[OCD is up! This is the FIRST post for general mingling. Please use this post first, if your browser can handle the comment load. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here and there's more room for mingling here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

Jake nodded. "I fixed up my car. It's a Volkswagen Rabbit so not exactly fancy, but it's pretty smooth."

He squinted at Bobby. "Do you even know how to drive?"

"...I just turned fourteen," Bobby replied, giving him a weird look.

"So? I could drive before I got my license," Jake shrugged. "No one's shown you yet?"

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2011]

He looked doubtful. "But isn't that illegal?"

"Do you always stick to all the rules?" Jake asked back, because really that was just boring.

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2011]

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

"Well, I mean..." Bobby shrugged a little. "I try to follow the important ones, you know?"

They were all the important ones to Bobby.

Jake laughed. "This one isn't. You should learn early so you don't need to waste time learning to drive once you turn sixteen. Seriously, pretty much anyone on the rez can drive before then."

"I didn't realise you were Native American," he said, possibly now considering if the reason Jake didn't care about college was because he didn't think he could go. He probably didn't know there were tons of scholarships. Bobby would make sure he found some for him. "What's it like on a reservation?"

Jake snorted and shrugged a shoulder. "Boring most of the time. It's a bit less dull now that there's werewolves and bloodsuckers around. It means we get to hunt things." Show off.

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2011]

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

"Hunt...like...rarr?" Bobby asked, wondering if being a werewolf meant you hunted as a wolf.

Jake snapped his teeth at Bobby and laughed. "I suppose so. If I'm translating that correctly."

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2011]

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

The teeth snap made him jump, but his curiosity kept Bobby asking questions. "What are bloodsuckers?"

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2011]

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

And that was just amusing. "Vampires," Jake said casually. "They're our mortal enemies. If they come into our territory, we kill them."

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2011]

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

His eyes got very, very wide. "Really?"

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2011]

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

There was the slightest chance that Jake was enjoying this way too much.

"Really. They're evil and they stink," he wrinkled his nose. "There's a few of them on the island too."

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2011]

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

If there was a possibility that Bobby's eyes could get wider, it happened. "Really?" he repeated, looking around like a bat would turn into a vampire if he just looked hard enough.

"Oh, but they're probably not out during the day, right?"

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2011]

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"They are, most of that stuff is just a load of crap," Jake glanced around. "Most I've met here are intent on playing nice, but I wouldn't buy that if I were you."

Sure, go scare the kid, Jake.

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2011]

Bobby bit his lip. "well, I mean, they haven't done anything yet, right? It seems a little wrong to judge all of them..."

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2011]

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Maybe not here," Jake shrugged. "It's their nature, it's just a matter of time. Just keep your eyes open."

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2011]

"People don't have to follow their base instincts," he pointed out. "It's what makes us civilized."

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2011]

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Not everyone's civilized, kid," Jake pointed out. "Most leeches aren't."

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2011]

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

"Maybe they don't think you're civilized," he pointed out. "Maybe if you talked about stuff, you wouldn't have to fight?"

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2011]

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"I tend to not care what they think," he shook his head. "Trust me, most leeches aren't interested in having conversations. The ones here, they're different for the most part. I leave them be, but I'm not going to be best friends with them."

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2011]

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

"You don't have to be friends with someone to make peace with them," Bobby explained.

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2011]

"I prefer just leaving a whole lot of distance between them," Jake told him. "It helps with the smell, too. Just not enough."
