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

Some parts of the East Coast might have been freaking out about a hurricane, but there was no such madness going on in Fandom. Sure, it was a little hot out, with the sun shining and not much breeze happening, but all the milk and toilet paper on the island was safe, and that was important, right? Besides, once the new folks started learning about their new home, there'd be more than enough freaking out to go around.

The usual main attraction had been set up first: a large buffet of food and drinks had been laid out next to all the information the new arrivals would need, and then the blue and gold tables and chairs had been arranged across the rest of the lawn. Everything was just about done when the shuttle arrived, and it was time for a picnic once again.

[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!]

Tyrion shook his head briefly. "The boat dropped me at the causeway, and the walk from there wasn't as bad as it could have been."

It was enough that his legs would be hurting for days, but that was his problem, not the principal's. (Whatever that title meant.) He'd need to buy a horse once he was a bit more settled.

"I was curious -- are you the lady of these lands, or is there a lord I should meet?"

"I'm in charge of the school, but if you want to talk to the person who runs the town, you'll need to speak to the mayor, Nate Summers," Zoe said, doing her best not to smirk at the thought of Cable being a lord. "He's usually at the Town Hall."

Tyrion nodded. "That's the name Columbus gave me," he said. "I didn't believe there wouldn't be a lord over the both of you, and a king over him. How do decisions get made?"

It was a point of genuine curiosity, now that he had it through his head that Columbus hadn't just been misinformed.

Zoe was very grateful for all the people she'd met from kingly times before, so she was just a little thrown by the question. "We don't need a king here. It's a fairly small island," she explained. "Nate and I make decisions together when we need to, to make sure the students are safe in the town, and that the people who live in town are safe from the students. It's worked well so far, at least."

"And no one tries to invade?" Tyrion inquired, after a quick nod. "A small island, no walls around the town -- I'm surprised it hasn't entered someone's mind, no offense to you or the mayor."

He was sure he was badgering the woman, but this was the kind of thing that might help him in his class. "I'll look a fool to my students if I don't know about the governing of the very village they live in."

"Oh, no offense taken. We get invaded quite a bit actually," Zoe said, not bothering to hide her smirk this time. "But no one's ever succeeded. This place is full of strong people, and smart people, and some people who just like getting to beat things up whenever they can. We've had a few cases of people falling out of line, but they've always been caught. If it's someone from town, they have to deal with the mayor, or the sheriff and the law enforcement," she said, pointing to Anakin. "If it's a student, they deal with me or the vice-principal," she continued, pointing to Deadpool.

It would be up to Tyrion to decide if they appeared adequate for their positions, she supposed.

Tyrion followed Lady Zoe's glance, craning his neck a bit to make sure the costume did in fact entirely cover the vice principal. It was ... striking.

"Does he always dress that way, or is that some sort of ceremonial uniform?"

"He always dresses that way. It's...sort of a like a uniform for him, I think?" Zoe said uncertainly. "You get used to it after a while."

Tyrion gave him another glance. "Perhaps I will."

He'd have to get used to everything else, after all.
