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

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!]

Best little sibling ever.

"I'll have to keep that one in mind," Karla said with a laugh. "Don't be surprised if I show up at your door demanding to know more sometimes."

Collecting nasty phrases was kind of a hobby of hers.

"Though I suppose we should get around to all that stuff that I'm supposed to be teaching you, huh?"

"I'm pretty good at landing on my feet," Cade assured her.

"That doesn't mean it hurts to have someone easing out that landing anyway," Karla pointed out. "Besides, there's a basket of presents right here. Do you really want to turn them all down?"

She reached into her basket and opened up a box of cupcakes from J,Gob. Sure, the picnic was full of stuff to eat, but this was all for him. And not baked by Karla, which he didn't realize was a benefit all its own.

And perhaps better than the cupcakes, at least from Cade's point of view, were the tiny nip bottles of rum that Karla had to move to get to those cupcakes.

"I like free things," Cade said, looking at the bottles.

Karla handed the basket over to him with a smile. There was also a sports bra in there, an industrial-strength umbrella, a cell phone, and a few other ~~moddable~~ items that Karla had thought would be helpful. "Shall I explain why certain things are in there?" she asked. "Or let you figure it out?"

Cade reached for the bra. "For when some poor girl forgets her shirt before getting to my place, there's an extra?"

Cade, that's not a shirt.

Karla arched an eyebrow. "Happens to you a lot?" she asked. Look, her new little sibling was hot. Hands-off, but hot. "But no. That's a bra. For you." She smiled at him again. "For when you turn into a female."

"You're karking with me," Cade replied.

Karla didn't need a translation for that one. "You should be so lucky. It happens. And so do rains of bizarre items, like chocolate syrup and popsicles, random animal transformations--you turn back naked, so be careful, and there are little green monsters called gremlins that will try to bite you. Their venom is a hallucinogen, and you'll end up doing utterly stupid things and people will be there to laugh and take pictures."

You were a Skywalker, Cade. Gremlin bites were inevitable. They'd know.

Cade blinked at her. "Right," he said. "Who do you get your drugs from?"

Because seriously, he'd like some.

Karla just gave him a wide grin. "You'll find out the truth soon enough. And when you do, I won't even say 'I told you so.'"

Out loud.

...Very loudly, anyway.

"Care to make a bet?"

"Not when you're smirking like a smuggler with a holdout blaster," Cade complained.

"I can try to control my expression if that'll make it easier for you?" Karla was nothing if not a cooperative older sibling. "Or you can accept that this island is even crazier than a Happan strip club."

The Landing Stip. How she missed you.

"What do you know about Hapan strip clubs?" Cade asked.

"Been to one," Karla said, dimples out in full force. "The gentlemen were all very sweet and charming. They made sure I got home okay after a...boisterous evening out."

Hey, the boyos had their cultural dances, Karla had hers.
