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

[bigdamnprincipal]

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!]

Frank's eyes lit up. "Really? Wait, wait, are you serious right now?" ALL HIS DORKY DREAMS HAD JUST COME TRUE, BRITTA. ALL OF THEM.

"Well, I don't have any," Britta admitted, "not unless being kick ass and progressive are super powers, but, hey, you really never know around this place."

"Neat."

Dork.

"This place kind of has, like, everything, right?" Beat. "Is there a giant room made out of pie? Tell me there's a giant pie room."

"There...is no giant pie room." Britta really hated to be the bearer of that bad news. "But...there's a ball pit on the sixth floor of the dorms?"

That wasn't a bad compromise, right? She didn't really find a lot of appeal in either of them, truth be told, but it seemed the sort of thing Frank might dig.

"Darn," Frank said. Kind of vigorously, too. That was downright profane coming from him. "But I... actually have no idea what that is."

Fun fact: The first ball pit had been invented in 1972 in Canada. Thanks, Wiki.

"It's just...like a big pit filled with colorful balls," Britta said, realizing that it sounded a lot less interesting when you actually described it. "Or, like...it's a pool, but instead of water or jello, it's balls."

Britta was so lucky that "balls" wasn't slang yet back when he was from.

"Huh," Frank said, mulling that over. "Sounds kind of fun. They're soft, right?"

"Ish?" Britta shrugged.

"Actually, it's a really terrible idea. Especially compared to a roomful of pie, but where do you even come up with something like that?"

Frank grinned. "Come on, who doesn't want to swim in a giant pie?"

Someone had way too much imagination for his own good. Way, way too much.

"But I'll check out the ball pit sometime if you want to show me, or draw me a map or something?"
