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

[bigdamnprincipal]

With all the rain the island had seen during the week, everyone had been hoping for a sudden turn to nice weather for the welcome picnic. But as the crew from the school started to set up for the picnic, the sky got darker and darker, and by the time everything was ready, it had started to steadily rain. As tempting as it was to move everything inside, there just wasn't anywhere in the school for so many people to gather at once, and since it was still comfortably warm outside, extra measures were taken to ensure that the picnic could go on as scheduled. Tents were set up to cover the information tables, the food, and most of the tables and chairs, and umbrellas had been gathered, ready for use by anyone who wanted more personal protection against the weather. It didn't look like the rain would be letting up any time soon.

[OCD is up! 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!]

"Freaking social services," Kenzi grumbled, since Bo-the-Killer-Zombie- Bartender might be able to sniff that she was lying or tell by the shine of her eyes or body posture or who the hell knew what else. "Said I needed a 'new environment.' Said it was this or juvie." A pause. "I just found those wallets. I collect rare wallets, that's all."

Man, she was really off her game here.

"Uh-huh. Like mine?" Bo rolled her eyes. "Whatever, I'm not judging unless you're doing it here. Where it's kind of my job to stop you. You really didn't follow me here on purpose?"

Because that was a hell of a coincidence; on the other hand, if she'd bought the idea that she hallucinated the whole thing, Bo didn't want to look a gift horse in the... monkey-head. Thanks for that image, Claudia.

"Dude, why would I follow a killer zombie to the States?" Kenzi demanded, blowing off the really thin tissue of lying lies like party confetti. "And seriously? Your master or re-animator or wizard-person wants you to work at a school? What's the evil plan?"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011]

[nookiepowered]

"A killer what the fuck?" Language, Bo. Also nice lack of argument with the killer part.

"Zombie! You sucked that dude's face off, don't tell me from hallucinations!"

In half an hour, she'd be seeing a pink pony. Now *that* was a hallucination.

"I got it on video! I showed Wes and he said yeah, definitely zombie!" Wait. "Except you're not wearing the boots. Hunh."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011]

"I didn---You WHAT?" Crapshitgaaaaaah. "You showed it to somebody??!" Crapshitgaaaah, repeat ad infinitum. Too bad she couldn't take her own advice about not freaking out.

"I had it up on YouTube for two hours 'til the jackholes made me take it down for 'copyright violation'. Such bullshit. So, yeah, I showed it to people, I got 212 hits, but Wes was the only one who believed me that it was real. Which, maybe says more about how messed up he is, but still!" Kenzi gave Bo a wary look. "Not a zombie?"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011]

[nookiepowered]

"Of course I'm not a zombie. Geez! And shh, keep your voice down!" Because that was said in such an awesomely hushed whisper.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011]

"Hey, are you..." Kenzi mouthed the words a vampire?!?

She wouldn't have to ask these things if Bo would just tell her!

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011]

[nookiepowered]

Yeah, Bo would get right on that. Right after she had a Valium milkshake and somebody told her what she was.

"I'm not into other people's blood." If Kenzi had asked her that the same day they met, her answer would have been a little more eyerolly. "There are some vampires around here--" She balanced other people's shit with I saved her once, now I'm kind of responsible for her very, very carefully for somebody who still needed a Valium milkshake. "But they usually ask first." Certain Kate-shaped exceptions aside.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011]

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Kenzi stared at Bo's face. Totally stone sober. Then the shirt. She was official and shit!

"THAT IS AWESOME." And: "So if you're not a vampire or a zombie, what are you?"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011]

"A bartender who sidelines in school security?" Bo knew damn well that wasn't going to fly, but it still gave her a moment to take a breath. "I don't exactly know what I am, besides a freak. I've never met anybody who does what I do."

Before, she would have said anybody like me, but that was before she'd met Mitchell, who was more like her than she was comfortable admitting, followed by more some-other-kind-of-freaks than she could count.

"So you can get me booze if someone beats me up?" Kenzi took a breath, and grinned. Gave a tiny bounce on her toes. "You're like a magic Amazon! Only with a stupider shirt!"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011]

[nookiepowered]

"Hey!" Bo looked down. Then back up. "Okay, fair point, but I don't know where to start with the rest of that. No, I will not get you booze; the Devil's Nest doesn't serve minors....Astra."

It did occur to her right about then that this kid had video evidence of her killing somebody, so maybe she might want to make an exception for that, but... sigh.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011]

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"Aw, c'mon. Bo. I am so going to the Devil's Nest-- does it have devils? Is there a Devil?"

Dude, she was in so much trouble if there really was. "And my name could be Astra. You don't know. For sure."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011]

[nookiepowered]

"You can come, you just can't have booze, it has vampires, and... I don't know. How would I know?" How did she talk that much without stopping to breathe? "I'm not a demon. Probably. And nobody's name is Astra."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011]

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"So. Cool." Kenzi beamed at her, then pointed. "Okay, yeah, you're right, no one is named Astra. Just don't spread it around. Kenzi. Human. As far as I know, you know? 'Cause I didn't know that was an optional box, except for the time you, you know, saved my bod and all. Did I say thanks?"

Practice, Bo. Looooots of practice.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011]

[nookiepowered]

"Well, just now. Kind of." In a roundabout way. Bo was too busy being grateful that she didn't sound like her next move would be to phone the National Enquirer to complain, though. "How about you stop spreading my box around and we'll call it even?"

.......Wow. Wow, less dirty in her head.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011]

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Yes. That was the brain-freeze of too many dirty jokes colliding at once inside Kenzi's brain.

"Would I do that?"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011]

[nookiepowered]

Walk it off, Bo. Walk it off. "Two words: Youtube."

Actually, that was kind of one word.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011]

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"...okay, but see, that's when you were just random Killer Bartender Woman who saved me from a skeeze. Now you're Bo! So it won't be repeated."

Probably. Wait. "But I'll tell people it's a good idea not to mess with you. 'Cause dude. That guy died happy, but the clean-up was probably a bitch."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011]

[nookiepowered]

Bo winced. "Don't tell people that. I don't need everybody wondering why it's not a good idea to mess with me. Anyway, I'm not-- I'm trying not to do that kind of thing. I didn't really have a choice before; now I do."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011]

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"Whew." Okay, tactless, but hey. Now she didn't have to have any speck of worry about not mentioning it to anyone. "Got it, I'll keep it on the d-l. Sooo, they changed your meds? Or something?"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011]

[nookiepowered]

"I'm not on meds. Not that I'd turn them down if there were any," Bo admitted a second later. "I just met some people here who don't die when I... well, you saw."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011]

Kenzi made an elongated slurping sound, her eyes crossing as she inhaled, then nodded. "Wait, so, you can't help that? Whoa." Okay, that had just seemed really deadly and kind of awesome, and now, not so much. "Glad you found more freaks to be friends with, though."
