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

There were plenty of large umbrellas set up for those who didn't enjoy a good pelting of various summer related materials. Because some people are weird like that.

There was also a splendid selection of food and beverages under a canopy to keep from ingesting suntan lotion. See? Your faculty thought of everything. Except how to make the island behave.

That you'll have to deal with.

Lex could also afford dry-cleaning for his expensive clothes. "I suppose I can't argue with that logic."

He could, but it was hot.

Dry-cleaning or strutting shirtless in front of many, many pretty girls. The better option was obvious!

"My logic is often flawless," Karla lied shamelessly assured him with a cheerfully appreciative grin. "And will be much appreciated by our fellow students, I'm sure."

Hey, Lex was equal opportunity with his strutting, thank you.

"I'm sure you're right." About the second part at least.

Even better! The more people who appreciated him strutting, the longer he was likely to continue to do so!

"The important thing here is that we've saved your shirt," Karla said, trying to sound selfless. "While upholding Fandom's rich history of tradition."

Selfless, right. Uh huh.

"And tradition is important."

HOW COULD HE DOUBT HER SINCERITY? DID SHE NOT LOOK THE SINCEREST?

"Very important," Karla agreed. "In fact, Petra and I pretty much decided that the reason Fandom sometimes plays nasty pranks is because there's not enough shirtless males. So, really, you're being a hero right now."

PERHAPS KARLA HAD NOT MET LEX'S DAD? WHO COULD RUN A MASTER CLASS IN FAKING SINCERITY!

"So you're saying we should blame the guys still wearing shirts during the next bout of weirdness?"

KARLA WOULD LOVE TO MEET LEX'S DAD ONE DAY! SHE POLLED WELL WITH PEOPLE'S PARENTS, REALLY!

By 'great' the narration meant 'horribly.' So if Lex ever wanted to discomfit his father for a moment or two...

"Absolutely," Karla said, shaking her head sadly. "I don't think they realize just the danger they are to us all." Which was why Karla and Petra were doing their level best to educate as many males as possible. To keep people safe.

It wasn't Lex's dad being discomforted that he was worried about.

"How truly selfish of them." Wanting to wear clothes.

"Simply tragic," Lex agreed. Solemnly. Yep. That.

They were indeed the solemnest.

Karla wiped away an imaginary tear. "Which is why I need to thank you again from the bottom of my heart, that you're willing to do this. To uphold tradition and keep us safe at the same time."

Lex still had enough self-respect not to pose heroically. Just barely.

Aww, and here Karla would have clapped and cheered for him if he had.

"I should head off and try to convince others of their civic duty," she said, grinning broadly even without the pose. "You make a wonderful--" and again with the cheerfully appreciate glance at his chest "--model to point to. Err, role model. I meant role model."
