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!]

"I doubt very much I'd be amazed, but I take your point," Tyrion told him. "People don't like thinking too hard."

"I'm starting to think people have become allergic to books," Trick ~~bitched~~ noted. "Honestly, is picking up a text and flipping through it that hard?"

"Some people can get by without reading," Tyrion said. "And then the rest of them think they can follow, and don't know how very much they don't know." He smiled. "This is one of my favorite subjects, you know. Though, you will find most of the students here aren't too overwhelmingly dull."

"That's a comfort," Trick said, meaning it. "I've been on the island almost a half-year and still barely recognize all the faces, never mind getting to know everyone. I'm not usually that much of a hermit, but..."

He shrugged. It had been years since he'd had to put effort into socializing, especially with people who didn't know who he was. He'd fallen out of the habit.

"Really, I only signed up to teach for access to the library," he joked.

"I wouldn't blame you if you did," Tyrion said. "I've never seen a better collection, and not heard of one anyone outside the Faith had access to."

"And don't call it being a hermit," he added. "Call it 'being selective.' It sounds better."

"Well, I've finally gotten tired of even my own rarefied company, so I'm glad I've ventured out and about a little," Trick said. "And if I've managed to meet your standards, Lord Tyrion, we'll have to meet up some evening and talk books over fine alcohol."

He was a bartender. Damn right he had good alcohol.

"Absolutely," Tyrion promised. "Or stop by my offices. I'm in them
Thursdays, and in truth there's not so much to do"

"Huh," Trick said. "Office hours. I should probably...have some of those."

He'd gotten an office along with the teaching gig, so...yeah. He should probably find it and whatnot.

"My class is on Thursday, should you ever decide to drop by. I'll get you believing in magical creatures yet."
