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

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!]

"What are darkspawn?" Cindy asked. It sounded like yet another thing for her to research and send a report to Bigby about. "Funny how Archdemons sound less than friendly. Maybe it was that bit about the 'killing everything' you mentioned before."

"No one knows exactly where they come from," Alistair said, philosophically. "But since before our calendar began, they've been in Thedas, underground, digging. Basically, picture large slavering mindless hordes of angry ugly demonic creatures and you're getting the rough idea. Usually they keep underground, but with an Archdemon awake, they're starting to find their way back to the surface. And then woohoo, it's Blight time!"

False enthusiasm, ahoy!

"Sounds like superfun!" Cindy said with equally false cheer. "Slavering mindless hordes pairing up with something called an Archdemon? How can you say no to that?!"

The bounciness faded after a second. "And you said one is coming?" she asked. "Will you be able to...stop it, I guess? Before it starts?"

"Hopefully," Alistair said. He sounded serious now, the joking tone gone. "That's what we're here for, us Grey Wardens. To stop Blights and slay Archdemons."
