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

[vaguelyretired.livejournal.com]

Although the summer had been record-breakingly hot, the weather outside today was actually kind of pleasant. There was a cool breeze blowing across the lawn, making the smells of the buffet wander, and hopefully enticing people to come over to the school and welcome all the new folks.

The blue and gold tables and chairs had been set out as usual, along with nametags and the lists of Big and Little Siblings, and rooms and roommates for the new students. Assuming the shuttle arrived with all of the students and teachers in one piece, everything was set for the picnic to begin!

[OCD is up, have at it! 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. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"So are you saying there's no team here?" Jackson asked. Actually sounding kind of vaguely worried about that. Or maybe offended.

"Lacrosse, basketball, football?"

Those were definitely in descending order of importance.

"Swim team?"

"Uh... there's a pool in the dorms?"

That wasn't quite the same thing, no.

"But yeah... no. I think they do a club thing in the fall, though. So, I dunno. Maybe you can give someone the idea to do that? Not sure who Fandom would play against, though."

"Just about anyone in Maryland?" suggested Jackson. Frowning. Because this was the first thing Sparkle had said that he was actually buying (because he'd been just that pessimistic about coming here), not that he liked it. "What kind of a backwards school is this?"

"I dunno," Sparkle replied with a shrug. "I figured it was just an American boarding school thing."

Right back to being helpful!

A person with an interest in others might have asked whether that meant Sparkle wasn't American. But Jackson wasn't that person.

"Of course," he said. "So, are we done here?"

He was the most polite ever.

Well, Sparkle had gone off on his rant about the bums in Toronto earlier. If Jackson couldn't figure it out from there, he was a lost cause.

"Guess we are," Sparkle replied with a shrug. "If you do end up needing anything else, you can come grovel at me in room 209, anyhow. I can throw some more, you know, nonsense at you."

And maybe he'd even be nice and keep telling the truth, next time!
