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

When the planning for the new semester had started, no one had really noticed that the welcome picnic would coincide with Cinco de Mayo. When the food arrived and all of it, including the desserts, had somehow ended up as a variety of Mexican food, well, it was a little too late to change anything.

Hopefully, the wandering mariachi band that had shown up wouldn't throw anyone either. It was a festive day of new arrivals, after all.

The blue and gold tables and chairs had been set out, along with nametags and the lists of Big and Little Siblings, and rooms and roommates for the new students. Assuming the shuttle arrived with all of the students and teachers in one piece, everything was set for the picnic to begin!

[OCD is up, have at it! 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!]

"Hey, you might get to do some traveling here!" Petra told her. "We do really cool trips for spring break and stuff. This year we went to Rio de Janeiro, and the school footed the bill. It was really fun. So I completely understand being unsure of the whole 'time travel' thing--when I got here I was convinced I hallucinated one of the teachers for like three days. It was kind of embarrassing when I found out she was real. But once you get over that hurdle...okay, this place is kind of weird in other ways, too. We don't just get people from all over the world, or different time periods. We get people from, like, different planets. Different universes, even, where magic is real or people have superpowers or something. And I know it's a lot to wrap your head around. Just...when someone shows you their wings or is blue or whatever, think of it as part of the experience."

It was an awful lot to wrap her head around, so hopefully Petra could excuse the excessive amount of blinking going on from Fawn's side of things.

And all she could really come up with in response was a slightly distressed, slightly excited, "...Really?"

Hey, at least she was capable of forming speech. Petra was sure some people wouldn't have been at this point. "Really. It's totally cool."

"It's..."

Fawn was going to say weird, because it was, but, at the same time, she realized that what she was hiding was just as weird. This did not do much to help abolish her fear of having been sent off to Freak School, either.

"...different," she decided.

"Yeah, it's definitely that," Petra agreed. "Weird would also be a good word. But good weird. Mostly. I mean, sometimes there'll be a bunch of creepy dolls everywhere for a day, but then another day you'll find random chocolate in your shoes."
