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

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!]

"My friend Bo the Security Chick is around here somewhere, she came from Canada last, too." ~~Although canon is vague on whether that's on her fake birth certificate.~~ "Anna too, if you see her-- long dark hair, and she has to wear this white dress for religious reasons. It's a whole thing, she's from Thunder Bay." Kenzi grinned. "Sparkle? He's got awesome hair. We're going to take over. Us and the moose!"

"Best superhero team since Alpha Flight," Victor nodded playfully. "Except, kinda ruins the effect if you tell people you're going to take over in advance. Just FYI."

"But then they underestimate us," Kenzi whispered loudly. "But maybe we'll get our spin doctors on that." She grinned at him. "Do you know a lot of superheroes in L.A.?"

Victor made a scoffing noise. "As if. Los Angeles is about the least cape-friendly place on the planet. There are people with powers, but the action's still all in New York. Used to drive me nuts when I was younger."

"What, the actors don't want the competition?" Kenzi asked, taking a sip of her lemonade. "Or do people just want to climb the Empire State Building?... we should make villains climb the CN Tower."

"The serious, actual answer is that there used to be a crime syndicate in L.A. that kept everybody else out," Victor explained. "No big crime, no need for heroes, people who wanted to play that game went someplace else. But I like the theory about the Empire State Building better."

"Aha," Kenzi said wisely. "No competition for the supervillains, so no exciting photo ops. Not enough therapists in New York." She grinned. "There's a couple people with powers-- well, more than a couple. Some of them might be doing that after they graduate."

"Yeah, I wasn't being totally straight earlier," Victor said, and almost looked a little guilty as he settled in next to her. "I do have powers. Part of why I'm here is figuring out how to use them. But I'm also a total fanboy."

Kenzi grinned, and held out her hand again. "Kenzi. Not Pinkie. That's the name of one of the teachers. I fangirl people with powers, but sadly my only ones are my startling fashion sense and poker face." And sticky fingers.

"I work with metals and electricity," Victor told her. "But, hey, don't sell your fashion sense short. I used to date a girl who would have killed for those boots."

"They are pretty awesome, aren't they?" Kenzi preened and pulled one boot up to inspect it. "Not the same as having wings, but since I wouldn't trade them for wings... what can you do with electricity?" she asked, curious, and trying to imagine that. "Taze people?"

"Stronger that that, but you have the idea," Victor nodded.

"Cooooooool." Kenzi beamed at him, impressed. "Awesome power. Magic, or superpower, or what?"

"It's uh, technology," Victor said, just a little wary because he'd met Topher by now. "I'm a cyborg. Superpowers came with the package."

"Dude! Can I get an upgrade like that?" Kenzi looked hopeful.

SAY NO, VICTOR. The world wasn't ready for Terminator Kenzi.

Victor flashed a quick grin at her reaction. "Sorry. Guy who made me's pretty much permanently out of business."

Or so Victor very much hoped.

"Awwwww." Kenzi grimaced, then shrugged. "Enh. I do okay without superpowers. It's still awesome... So aside from superheroing, what are you into?"

"Video games," Victor said, grateful she'd changed the subject. "Music. Building stuff. I ... spend a lot of time online."

Because he was a MASSIVE DORK.

"You?"

"Ha! Video games. Drumming. Performance art." She grinned a little lurkily, because she meant make mischief and get out of it. "Not so much with the on-line thing. I work at Caritas, that's the bar that doesn't card. And help out at the theater when there's plays going on. Art stuff. And work at 'Dite's Decadent Delights."
