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

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

The food? Still there. The school? Still standing. Students? Still mingling.

Ahhhh. What fun this weekend was for us all. WHAT FUN. And this time it was actually the good weather for shirt removing!

[Please wait for OCD is up! 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.]

Re: More General Mingling (Summer 2011)

Sam had been waiting for her reaction and picked up on the tentativeness just like he'd picked up on hi mom's fear. This wasn't as violent though so he didn't immediately try to back away.

"My dad is but I don't have any kind of relationship with him," Sam told her, shaking his head. "This whole thing, this is what he gave me and nothing else. He found out I was like this and didn't stick around. Good man, my dad."

Maybe he was a little bitter.

With a sympathetic frown, Jocelyn tried to put into words what she'd been taught. "It - happens that way with families with magic sometimes," she said slowly. "If the person doesn't like the power or they feel out of control - they can't handle knowing it was passed on to another generation." She made a face. "Not that it helps you at all."

"Or maybe he's just a jerk," Sam said flippantly. Kevin Hatfield wasn't his dad as far as he was concerned. "He's not around and doesn't even know I'm like this, really. Oh, if he could see me now, I'm sure he'd be impressed."

Or horrified.

"The only one who's been able to tell what I am just by looking at me is another necromancer," Sam shared partially as a way to get his mind off his dad. "It's something with my colors. I've got a lot of blue going on because of the death stuff."

He almost sounded like Valentine talking about his mother. Jocelyn didn't know what to say when that happened either.

"It makes sense," she replied. "I can always tell another Shadowhunter and warlocks and the were can pick out their own people. Like calls to like maybe." If only she could learn how to see the colors. It would be so useful. "What about werewolves? Or vampires? Do they show up with certain colors?"

"Werewolves are like humans only brighter colors," Sam shared after a moment's quiet. "I guess it's the higher body temperature a lot of them carry. Their colors are very, very bright. Vampires are blue since they're technically dead. It's a brighter blue since they're not reanimated or anything like that."

The colors of that poor reanimated panda still made him sad every so often.

She considered that. "Sounds like someone didn't have a very wide range of colors when they were choosing their palette."

Yup, artist.

"Maybe, I guess," Sam said, chuckling. "I didn't really ask about it when it was shown to me. I had other things on my mind at the time. I nearly passed out when I first used it."
