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

There was the bonfire for everyone who thought Maryland in January was a little too cool for their taste, as well as the moddable warm food and drinks, and chairs and tables in the school colors of blue and gold. Some tables were also set a little further away from the crowds.

Because there were always people who preferred the fringes.

[OCD up! This is the FIRST post for general mingling. Please use this post first, if your browser can handle the comment load. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here and there's more room for mingling here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"Uh huh," Natalie said. "So you're just looking to be nice and non-threatening, then?"

"God knows the rest of this place is threatening enough."

Peter, there was no reason on Earth you should sound this chipper. Ever.
whenshewasnice: ([neu] Squint.)

Yeah, Natalie was kind of squinting at him a little bit for that.

(It didn't help that she could, you know, actually read his icon.)

"Right."
lockestheway: (peter: smug snake)

Peter stuck one hand back into the pocket of his (nicely tailored) pants. "Oh, come on," he said, "I can't juggle things with my mind or turn into some kind of snaggle-toothed monster. That makes me a calming factor."
whenshewasnice: (Maybe tomorrow.)

"Except to people who are used to snaggle-toothed mind jugglers," Natalie deadpanned. "Moreso than teenage politicians looking to pick their brains."
lockestheway: (peter: listening intently)

"I'm not trying to pick anyone's brain," Peter reminded her. "Just have a conversation. No harm, no foul."
whenshewasnice: (Far off things.)

"Okay," Natalie said. Not necessarily believing him, but that didn't matter. "Personally I'm looking to seem as unapproachable as possible."

That may have been a joke. But it was always difficult to tell with her.

"Good choice," Peter praised. "Go with what you know."
whenshewasnice: (Brainwork.)

"I didn't get saddled with a new sibling or a new roomie," she replied. "I figure no one's expecting anything from me this time around."
lockestheway: (peter: actually amused)

"Hey, if you make the right impression now, you won't have to deal with anyone trying to talk to you for the rest of the semester," Peter said idly. He popped another chip into his mouth. "Scowl a little harder. Maybe stare at some people long enough to make them uncomfortable."
whenshewasnice: (Flick of fingers.)

"That requires effort I'm not willing to put into it." She eyed his food absently, wondering if she should go get some more of her own. "It's not like they'll bother me in my room, anyway."
lockestheway: (peter: hopeful)

"If I was a superstitious sort, I'd say you just jinxed yourself," Peter said. "Just think about it - buckets of newbies piling into your room, fleeing from a gremlin... or just driven by annoying curiosity."
whenshewasnice: (Laziest of my words.)

"I'd kick them out."

Possibly literally.
lockestheway: (peter: smiirk)

"Could get overwhelmed by numbers," Peter said cheerfully. "And who knows? One of them might put a smile on your face."

He didn't think so.
whenshewasnice: ([neu] If you must.)

Natalie just gave him one of those unimpressed, 'you really don't think that' kinds of looks for that.
lockestheway: (peter: actually amused)

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2013]

[personal profile] lockestheway 2013-01-05 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Peter just beamed back at her.
whenshewasnice: (Now listen to me.)

"That just looks creepy on you," Natalie decided.

It wasn't even true.
lockestheway: (peter: uh-huh)

"I do believe that's jealousy, miss Adams," Peter said smugly. "Go get some of Fandom's answer to hors d'oeuvres - I promise they won't give you diarrhea."
whenshewasnice: (My Spidey sense is tingling.)

Natalie rolled her eyes, flashed him a fake smile that in no way reached her eyes, then turned and wandered away.
