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

There were some extra tables set up in the shade of the trees on the lawn, away from the buffet in spots where it might be less crowded and much quieter. If you wanted to get away from the crowd, or stake out a spot to talk to folks, these spots would be where to go!

[OCD is up, have at it! This is the SECOND post for general mingling. Use this post if your browser can't handle the comment load of the first mingling post. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"Which roommate did you get?" Victor asked, more or less idly. "And yeah. I mean, I'm kind of special 'cause I was never really in a situation where I had to lie, so I never got used to it? But I can't blame the people who have been hiding their whole lives, or who just don't want to deal with some of the crap other people might throw at anyone who's different. We aren't all that open."

"What you said about the pep rally," he added. "That sounded pretty brave to me, too."

She shrugged. "More impulsive than anything. Kind of a 'screw all you guys' thing, and I needed to get people's attention for my send-off, anyway. But I guess it was kind of brave. Takes a special kind of stupid to run around a gym in hotpants and a boa." Olive rolled her eyes, mostly at herself. It would've been better if she'd figured out a way to not get expelled for that, but she wasn't totally displeased with how things had gone.

"As far as roommates go, her name's Karolina. She can fly, apparently. So if the dorms catch fire and we have to jump out the windows on the fourth floor, I think I'm set."

Way to think on the bright side, Olive.

Victor brightened at that. Karolina was doing better, if she was sharing her powers that early in a relationship; he was weirdly proud of her.

"I know her from home," he said. "... technically that's a different version of her, but either way she's a very cool girl. And not just because she can fly people out of burning buildings. I'm in 401 with a guy named Alec."

"Oh, cool," Olive said, brows rising up. "I don't know if I've seen anyone else who knows people here from home." Obviously people might travel in packs. Why didn't she consider these things? "She seems pretty cool. Shy, but I kind of tend to word-vomit so that's probably on me." He had probably noticed this, Olive. "And it's good to know I'll have at least one semi-neighbor in there. I've never lived in dorms before."
