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!]

Well. That had gone... better than Jono had expected, really. Which still wasn't great, but he was still breathing, so there was that.

"We-- mutants are a minority here, too, Magneto," he said, falling into a flat sort of calm of his own. "But so is everything else. Don't get any ideas about any of the other people on the island, just because they're lacking an X-gene. Fandom Island is closer to whatever Utopia we keep wishing for than our own reality will ever be, and if you do anything to endanger that..."

He nearly let that linger, there. Possibly because he knew he didn't have a leg to stand on if he were to resort to threats. Not against this one.

"... you'll be depriving those few mutants here of the only place in the multiverse where they'll ever really know any measure of peace."

That, at least, he hoped would mean something.

Magneto's eyes flashed in anger. "I'll keep that in mind," he said in a dead tone. "Just keep in mind one thing, Mr. Starsmore. Everything I've ever done is to protect my people. If they are threatened I won't turn a blind eye."

"If they are threatened, it'll be from outside forces coming in, just as it's always been," Jono replied, shaking his head tiredly. "And people here will step up to protect them, just as they always have. Might not hurt for you to take a look at the history of the island before you make yourself too comfortable. Look up the invasions, learn about how the students treat one another. Mutants aren't the victims here, and they never have been. Do us all a favour and don't let your revolutions give anybody here a reason to think they ought to be."
