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

[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 SECOND post for general mingling. Use this post if your browser can't handle the comment load of the first mingling post. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

Don't eat anything spicier than you can handle!

Kenzi had collapsed in the shade, full of food, watching the newbies try not to freak out, and happily sipping a lemonade.

The name tag read: Pinkie Pie.

Victor noticed the nametag, and he had to ask about it.

"Hey," he said, pointing vaguely toward it. "So, real name or code name, Pinkie? I'm Victor."

Darcy was sitting cross-legged on the lawn, a plate of food balanced on her legs and an amused expression on her face.

"What's that?" Rapunzel asked, leaning over to point at something on Darcy's plate that she wasn't familiar with.

Atton still had his stack of cards, but by now he'd put them aside to plow through some actual dinner.

Earth cuisine definitely wasn't bad, though that might just be recent experience with Nar Shaddaa talking.

Oh! A face that Rapunzel didn't recognize! (Hopefully that meant that the face belonged to someone actually new and she wasn't about to embarrass herself...)

"Hi!" she chirped, bouncing over toward Atton with a grin. "You're new!"

Right?

Bucky stood by the mariachi band and did the chicken dance.

So far, it hadn't attracted any tasty, tasty chickens. That was possibly because Bucky was doing it wrong, but also possibly because he misunderstood what the purpose of the dance actually was.

There was a sparrow looking at him funny, though, so... that was a start?

Pinkie saw the cat dancing and decided to join in.

Hers wasn't attracting any chickens, either, but it was fun!

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2012-1]

[geewhizfellas.livejournal.com]

Hey! There was a cat doing the chicken dance! And Miss Pie was joining in!

Why, if that didn't make Butters want to join on in and do it, too, he didn't know what would!

Plus, Butters brought some lyrics to the table:

"I don't wanna be a chicken,
I don't wanna be a duck,
So I shake my butt
*clap* *clap* *clap* *clap*!"

Kenzi looked around to see if the squirrels were laughing. She certainly was.

She did applaud, though.

To say Sia was feeling more comfortable now was an understatement, but at any rate she was still here. She'd even moved on to sampling very small portions of the food to see what it was like here.

Small portions because she wasn't entirely sure this place wasn't being given massive amounts of hallucinogens.

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2012-1]

"Oh, you've got a lot of stuff there," Rapunzel exclaimed as she looked over at Sia's selection of things to snack on.

A more thorough examination of the food tables had revealed not a single salted fish.

Disappointing.

The nachos, Ulrik had discovered, were not too bad. And so he was crunching away at a plate of them, as he considered his fellow students.

Sholeh gave the young man a hesitant smile. "Excuse me?" she asked, pointing at his plate. "What are those?"

Considering that Britta had nearly ran poor Frank over being distracted by the hot piece of LARPing beef strutting around the place, Britta realized it would be pretty silly if she let a potential interaction go to waste. So she was glad to spot him again and mosey on over to say hi.

"Hi," she said, "new student here, right?"

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2012-1]

Sholeh was standing by one of the picnic tables, looking at it with wide eyes. She'd never seen that much food in one place since...ever! Her home village never went hungry, but they'd never be able to put out a feast like this, either.

Such variety! Such abundance! She hadn't even had a chance to start trying anything yet because she wasn't entirely sure where to start!

Having her sisters squabbling in her head about what they wanted to try (and what she should wrap up to take later so they actually could try some) wasn't helping much, either.

"If you stare at it too long, it'll just up and eat itself," came a voice from behind her. A Sparkle, more accurately, stepping up to the table to top off his plate. "And then you won't get any, girly."

After some conversation and some food, Terry was fully awake. Also, possibly in need of as much water as he could get. He hadn't listened to the warning about spicy food.

Having seen to his new sibling, Toby decided to grab some food and start checking out the new kids. Interesting bunch. But then, they always were.

All this socializing and meeting new people was great and everything, but, after a while, Britta really just needed to slip off to the side a little for an inconspicuous little smoke, where she also found herself commiserating over how cigarettes were left in her current pack.

Telling Minako not to eat anything spicier than she could handle was inviting to eat everything ever.

Artemis had wandered off, and so Minako was stuffing her face from a plate piled comically high. Who knew such a slender girl could pack so much away?

[at a work, sp!]

Lucrezia had gone back to her room after meeting her new little sibling, but she had found her way back to the picnic eventually. She sat upon her blanket with food piled upon her napkin, watching the crowd with amusement.

Fawn was...feeling better. She was still a little nervous, but she figured, after everything else that had been thrown at her so far today, what more could happen? She was apparently in the future, had a boy for a roommate, there were pink ponies that looked like they came from one of those cartoon shows that her little sister watched, and cats dancing to mariachi bands. Nearly everyone supposedly had cellular phones and all the music from a thousand cassette tapes could be put into one little machine no bigger than her hand.

Standing off to the side underneath a tree, Fawn had to reach over and pinch her arm on occasion to make sure she wasn't just dreaming.

"Ow."

Nope. Not dreaming. But she still gave herself a few more pinches here and there for good measure.

Aaaaand I'm spent. Happy picnicing!
