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!]

"I brought my tool belt with me; that means the world is my workshop." Grease. Grease everywhere. "I bet that castle could use some modernizing."

No, children of Hephaestus didn't have much appreciation for antiquity.

Nico eyed him carefully. "At least I don't have to worry you'll bring the dorms down around our heads." Though the years before Leo, Nico might have been concerned. Freaking curses. "How are you with armor?"

Leo might actually bring down the dorms if he had a nightmare or something and accidentally caught fire, but he wasn't about to mention that.

"I'm great with armor, man. We're encouraged to make our own in cabin nine," Leo said, much more comfortable with talking about the gifts he had that didn't involve fire. "I'm better with the metal stuff than the practice leather ones, but I can do both. Jason said I might be able to grab the imperial gold stuff the Romans use when we get there."

Jason...might have been a little optimistic of how things would go when they got there.

Leo was like a breath of fresh demigod air, good at faking the happy and not letting all the prophecies get him down. Nico liked it, not that he'd seek to emulate it.

"I was just thinking you might like helping me try to alter mine. It's black iron, only it's gotten a little beaten lately." Thanks to Luke being a total badass.

"What, like the Stygian stuff?" Leo asked. He wasn't really surprised that Nico's armor was made of that considering who his father was. "I haven't had the chance to work with it, but I'm sure I'll be able to fix it up a bit. It's not gonna suck out my life essence if I touch it, will it?"

"That's only if I'm channeling my powers through it," Nico assured him. "It should be safe to the touch. Should."

Well that was utterly terrifying.

"Sounds like fun!" No, it was terrifying. "What's a little life essence lost? I'll just chug some orange juice and it will come right back."

"I've got a canteen of ambrosia just in case," Nico replied. "Tell you what, I'll even get a friend to test it out for you."

Leo lifted his eyebrows. Nico was such a creeper. "Whose life force are you willing to risk?"

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2011]

"It's not really a risk, I've just never tried it. Besides, I know a guy who heals himself." Percy would love knowing Nico thought this was a good plan.

"Oh wow, that's useful," Leo said. Even though giving up a friend like that was still creepy. "I'm all for this plan. Whatever doesn't take a few years off of me."
