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.]

"Huh. Not sure if the randomness is better or worse than a place that's actively responding to you," Richie mused. "I'd be worried if the island started doing what we asked it to." Because that would mean it was listening, all the time. "And I'd be really worried about pissing it off. What'd your place do to the guy who peed in the flowers?"

"I think it might have picked him up and thrown him around a bit? I wasn't actually there to see what happened. The student was fine, though."

So wasn't that a relief?

"Anyway, you probably shouldn't go peeing in flower beds in the first place. Especially when you know that the ground is alive. I wouldn't want to be peed on, either."

"Yeah, that's a pretty terrible idea," Richie agreed. "So you watch out for gremlins and I'll remember not to pee in the flowers and we'll be set, right?"

"I think that pretty much covers it," Evan agreed with a little smile. "And while we're at it, we can try not to pee on gremlins or get bitten by flowers, too."

Evan, you shouldn't joke about things like that. Think about what the gremlins might be biting!

"These are valuable life lessons we're coming up with," Richie said. "We should share them with the world."

"We can write a letter to the editor, if the island has a newspaper," Evan mused. "Announcement to all residents of Fandom Island. Don't pee on the wildlife. They probably don't like that."

"We could do a whole column," Richie suggested. "'Things Not To Do When Your Home May Be Sentient'."

"I think entry number one would almost definitely have to be, 'give it ideas,' huh?"

Evan was a fast learner!

"Exactly," Richie agreed with a laugh. "You're gonna fit right in here."

"Thanks," Evan replied, sounding genuinely grateful. "I really, really hope you're right."

"Of course I'm right," Richie said. Because Richie was always right, at least in Richie's own mind. "Why wouldn't you fit in? I mean, my last little sibling was an invisible ghost and we've got a talking pink pony for a teacher, why would you be the odd one out?"

"It's just that..." Evan hesitated for a moment, and then smiled and shook his head. "No, it's nothing. If one of the teachers is a pony, I probably don't have anything to worry about at all."

Yes, Evan. You keep on believing that, honey.

"There's plenty to worry about," Richie corrected him. "But being weird on island full of weirdness probably isn't a big concern."
