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 for guests were set up further out on the lawn, under a tall blue and gold tent. There was plenty of room for everyone to sit down and enjoy themselves, but it might not have all been dry. Did we mention being grateful that it was just water falling from the sky?

[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!]

Hmmm.

"That would be awesome if they wouldn't burn me as a witch," Quinn said thoughtfully. "Have you been over there? What's it like?"

She hesitated, then: "And I think it's Atlantis. So you know."

"It's hot and sunny, usually," Puck offered. Guess who wasn't going to share about the topless women with Quinn? He thought that was kind of a smart move. "You missed the really shitty stuff, like when we were in Japan and it rained for two weeks straight and it was all dark and crappy. This place and Egypt've been the best ones. Oh, oh, and there were cowboys and stuff at one point, too." He paused, considering, and added, "They wouldn't burn you as a witch. You're too pretty. They'd think you were a goddess or something."

And he was pretty sure Atlantis was that city in Georgia but he wasn't going to correct her. Wise move on his part.

He had made several wise moves, starting with not sharing about topless women.

"I heard about Egypt," she said. "Wesley didn't ride on a camel. But now we have to go to Atlantis, like, tomorrow."

She was cool with anyone who thought she was a goddess.

"'Kay, but we have to like, embrace their culture and stuff while we're over there," he decided with a slow smile. "Dress like them and everything. Even if we bring the car and they think you're a goddess."

He'd been doing so well, but he really couldn't resist trying to lock her into walking around bare-chested.

"Sure!" Quinn agreed, still dopey-in-like to be with him.

Then backtracked. This was, after all, Puck. "They wear togas and stuff, right?"

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011]

"Togas and...stuff," he agreed. 'And stuff' indeed. "And they accessorize with metal." He nodded wisely. "They're super-fashionable and stuff."

"I'll have to buy some jewelry while we're there," Quinn said, satisfied by the explanation. "It sounds awesome. When do you want to go?"

"This weekend," Puck declared, already thrilled by this idea. "Gives you time to unpack and stuff. You missed the cabins. Pretend to be sad."

Quinn gave him a most excellent wibbleface. "No burned masrhmallows, darn, and my clothes don't smell like smoke either. And I don't have a disgusting poison ivy rash. Poor pitiful me."

"No getting to sleep in a teeny little room with just a curtain," Puck added. "Dude, I had to live with Nathan. All he did was smoke and wander around in his underwear and yell at this girl who turned into a bird or something. You lucked out like crazy."

And in a rare show of sensitivity, he followed that with, "I mean, not really. How's your mom?"

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011]

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

"Um." It took Quinn a moment to follow the topic change, because she'd been distracted by the whole Nathan-in-his-underwear concept. (Look, taken or not, a girl had eyes.)

"She's doing okay. Working a lot." It was almost embarrassing to admit this, but: "The house felt really empty."

Puck reached out to loop an arm over her shoulders. "Anything from your dad?"

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011]

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

Quinn closed her eyes. "Not much. I don't think I have anything to say to him," she said, tired.

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011]

"I think if I ever saw my dad, I'd punch him," Puck offered, rubbing her upper arm gently. "You could punch yours, too."

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011]

"You know what? He's not even worth breaking a nail over," Quinn said, in a calm voice that didn't really hide her anger. "But thanks. You can hit 'em both."
