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!]

"Radio. Right," Hanna said, keeping that in mind. "News news, or TMZ style news?"

"I don't know what TMZ is," Squall told her. "But it's not 'real' news. The squirrels watch everything that happens on the island and take notes."

...Which probably sounded silly to her.

"Real squirrels. With hats. That drink rum."

"Squirrels. With hats and drink. And they are everywhere?" Hanna wondered if these squirrels were related to 'A.' "Okay, then."

"Almost everywhere," Squall answered. "And they're not the strangest thing on the island, not by a long shot." He shrugged. "It's a fun place. If you have any questions, just call me.

He paused, and looked Hanna over. "Do you have cell phones, where you come from? Electricity?"

Hanna was quite baffled by those questions. "Of course I have a cellphone. Who doesn't? And electricity is, like, mandatory or something. Or it should be."

"It's an important question," Squall told her. "Not everyone who comes to Fandom has seen electricity before."

"Really?" Hanna said, disbelievingly. "Did they live under a rock?"

She shrugged. "Okay. Guess I have to go with it, for now."
