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!]

"The people who have been here a while seem to like it," Sparkle noted, raising an eyebrow. "But the people I've met who have been here a while are, like, my big brother who is like holy shit rich, and Dean Bus Driver, who I'm pretty sure is tripping bad on something."

Other planets, he could accept. Being some chick's great-great-great-great-great grandfather was maybe a bit of a stretch.

"Maybe the faculty's just all completely cracked."

"Dean Bus Driver?" Atton asked, vaguely invested in this conversation for the first time in... well, ever. For a few seconds, anyway. "Well, he's a Jedi. 'Cracked' is what they do."

"I have no idea what that is, either," Sparkle reported. "All I know is that he thinks capes are still in fashion or something, he's got pretty good hair, and apparently he's related to like half the people who live here."

Which really only further served to reinforce Sparkle's notion that he might be from one of those redneck states.

"Jedi are like... warrior monks who think they know what's best for everyone else," said Atton, who obviously wasn't biased at all. "Then they go out and cause amazing amounts of property damage and maybe kill a whole bunch of people."

He glanced back at the crowd - skipping his eyes briefly over Sia. "Makes sense, though. Where one goes, a whole bunch of them follow."

"Oh." Sparkle considered that for a moment, and then nodded and started wrapping another burrito. "So the school is being run by psychotic televangelists with guns or something."

That sounded exciting. And shitty. And kind of explained why Dean Bus Driver dressed like he was part of some sort of cult and acted like someone had lodged a two-by-four up his ass.

"So, what, you figure they're trying to recruit, here, or something?"

"Hell if I now," Atton answered. "But if they start taking my measurements for those ugly robes, I'm out of here."

He hadn't run away all this way just to get recruited into another Force cult.

"You have to have a knack for it," he added, less facetiously. "Don't have it, so I'm banking on no."

Really, the robes would probably be an improvement on Sparkle's current wardrobe, but it wasn't like he'd see it that way.

"Swimming back to Canada," Sparkle agreed. "I'm pretty sure I could make it, so long as I don't get swallowed by a whale or a shark or something."

And Atton was kind of attached to his ribbed jacket here. Robes would ruin his whole casual-rogue thing.

"How much of a swim is that?"

"I dunno," Sparkle admitted. "A few days, maybe. I mean, if the weather's good. I'll grab a lifejacket before I go, sleep on my back. Like the world's biggest waterbed."

A beat.

"But I guess my toes would get pretty wrinkled. Gross."
