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!]

"Superheroes?" Considering her conversation about capes and tights with Dick, she ought to sound more skeptical, but from a guy built like this, she could almost buy the word.

"I'm Hercules," he reiterated. "As in that Hercules."

He was totally explana-bragging. "The Hercules who did the twelve labors, son of Zeus, all of that."

And again, she ought to sound more skeptical, but. Shunsui. "Hercules as in the god Hercules?"

That got a momentary drop of Hercules' confidence as he pulled a face, before recovering.

"Well... formerly. And I was technically only a demigod," he said. Except that short time he was the All Father, but that was a long complicated story in and of itself.

Bo vaguely remembered the demigod concept from high school literature class, but the first bit... "How do you get to be a former god? Can you get fired from god-dom?"

"I may have used all my power to set the universe right after my sister attempted to restart the big bang," Hercules said, almost nonchalantly. "It left me mortal and without godly power. But I still have quite the strength and stamina."

Why did Bo even try to figure out where normal fell when it came to Fandom? The scale was always re-setting. "I'm sure you do," she said with a mixture of appreciation and regret. Stupid mortality. "That, ah. Sucks, though."

"I was born a mortal, and a mortal I am again," Hercules said with a shrug. "To be honest, after the years of being a god, it's almost refreshing to be something new all over again. It's like everything is a new discovery, waiting to be found."

"Well, I've never been a god, but I can sure grok thinking it would be refreshing to be normal." Death by succubus, however, she had the feeling was not a new discovery he would like. Congrats, Herc, on your entry to the Friend Zone!
