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

It was a new year, and with the new year came the new spring term, and Fandom High was all set to welcome its new students, along with those just returning from holiday trips home. It was a familiar setting for the latter bunch: there was the requisite bonfire, with tables and chairs scattered around it, as well as the buffet table with moldable warm food and drinks.

And of course, name tags and lists of Big and Little Siblings as well as roommates. Yep, the weather was okay for early January, and Fandom was all ready to celebrate the start of a new term.

[OCD up! 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!]

Po quirked a little half-smile. "It sounds like it's not too bad a life for them, then," he replied. "People tend to be afraid when you can see what they really think, though, in my experience." He shook his head, as though clearing it, and added, "Luckily enough, my Grace is remarkably dull by comparison -- I'm Graced with fighting." He smirked, and added, "If there's any competitions of the boxing or sparring sort, I'd suggest putting your money on me."

Evan briefly considered telling Po about how afraid people really were of mutants back home, but decided against it. He didn't want to worry his new sibling either, after all. Especially not on his first day.

"Fighting, just in general?" He looked thoughtful about that for a moment. "I... can stretch my arms really long, which can come in useful in a fight. But I think just being better than most people at fighting, naturally, would be a way more handy ability to have."

"Hand-to-hand is my best, though I'm not sure I'd be a match for you," he said, looking surprised. "If nothing else, your Grace sounds remarkably useful for every day."

Never again would he need to fetch a stool to reach something above his head!

Evan was pretty grateful that he'd left things like 'flying' and 'eye-lasers' off of his list of powers, considering the surprise on Po's face. He smiled faintly, and gave his shoulders a shrug.

"My Uncle's been teaching me how to fight with my powers since I was eleven," he admitted. "So... I'm not bad, really. But there are people around here who are way better fighters than I am."
