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

Well.

It was raining popsicles and suntan lotion today. Because Fandom liked to make the newbies cry sometimes. Yes, the island had a sense of humor about these things.

We've all learned to accept that and move on with our lives. Well, all of us except for Britta. But she's the worst.

[Please wait for OCD is up! This is part one of the picnic, specifically for meeting siblings, roommates, and teachers. The rest of the picnic is happening here and here, in an effort to keep browsers from breaking for as long as possible.]

Cassie looked around for who had spoken and remembering that she was in Fandom, she looked down.

"Hello? Are you Arietty? I'm Cassie." Her smile was friendly.

James had been a nice bean. It was entirely possible that Cassie would be a nice bean, too, right?

"It's nice to meet you!" Arietty called. She knew she had to speak up to make sure she could be understood by a bean as large as Cassie was. "You're not a biologist, are you?"

Cassie shook her head and then crouched down so that Arietty didn't have to yell.

"No, I'm not. I'm not even very good at science."
notalender: (pleased)

Arietty nodded. "So you probably won't want to dissect me, then, will you?"

It never hurt to be sure.

Cassie's eyes widened in shock.

"No, never! And if someone tries, I'll... well, I'll do something."

Even if something was telling Deborah before she lit them on fire.

"Thank you! But last time, running away worked pretty well. As long as they don't use any clever traps."

"Why would someone want to hurt you?"

Because people sucked, Cassie. You knew this.

"Because they're beans," Arietty said. Duh. "I don't pretend to understand anything you do."

"Not all people are that mean," Cassie insisted softly. "I mean, I'm not and the people I've met here aren't either. This is a good place."
notalender: (Thoughtful)

"Well, James was very reasonable and quite helpful," Arietty noted. "And Frank was kind as well. I haven't met that many beans, really."
