Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part II

Some extra tables had been set up in the shade of the trees on the lawn, away from the buffet in spots where it might be less crowded and much quieter. Well, aside from the mariachi band, but at least their music was entertaining? They might even take requests!

[OCD is up, have at it! 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!]

Karolina raised her eyebrows. "That does sound pretty good," she had to admit. Especially to someone like her, who hadn't exactly been going to school for a while now, and didn't really miss it. "I mean, I was expecting something a little, I don't know, stricter."

"Oh, we had that, for a week. Literally a week," Stacey told her. "The school board made us be all normal while they were here, girls who roomed with guys had to move... And then when they left we threw the uniforms on a bonfire, so there went that."

"This place is weird."

She was yet to decide whether that was a good thing or not. Though there was a not insignificant chance that she herself would not be a particularly weird thing, here. And that fell on the good side of the scale.

"But I don't know. I think I... might like it not being normal."

"It takes some getting used to, but I really like it," Stacey told her. "Though it's a little weird to try and explain to people back home. Like, a few of the clubs did a fashion show to benefit the starving Belgians of 1915. Where else do you get to do that? Nowhere, which is why my emails get edited down."

Karolina thought about that. "That might actually almost make sense to my friends back home," she decided, since Gert's parents had ben time travelers, and all. "I mean, time travel's a thing back there too. I really don't know about the talking pony, though."

"I just don't understand how she opens doors," Stacey admitted.

"I was told she hands out cupcakes," Karolina shared in turn. "I couldn't figure out how she'd do that, either."

"I'm going to be thinking about this all day," Stacey realized.

"Welcome to the club," Karoline replied with another little laugh and a lopsided smile. It was the thing for all pretty blond people to be doing today. "Although I think I'll also be boggling over a whole lot of other stuff, too."

"What's the weirdest thing so far?" Stacey wondered.

The urge to say 'most things' was very, very strong. But Karolina managed to avoid it anyway.

"Well, Lex said sometimes non-shapeshifter people turn into animals...?"

"I've mostly just heard about that sort of thing on radio," she said. "I've never seen it, but it seems like a really weird thing for so many people to make up, you know?"

"Exactly," Karolina nodded. "But, um... I'm glad if that means it's not as commonplace as it sounded. I kind of prefer being human-shaped."

If not human.

"So, maybe I'll get lucky too?"

"I'm crossing my fingers for you," Stacey smiled.

"Think I'm going to need it," she admitted. "I haven't had the best luck lately. I'd rather not end up an otter, or a chameleon or something."

Oooh guess who'd probably just jinxed herself?
