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

[stars_and_money]

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!]

Petra approached with just a liiiiiiiiittle bit of trepidation and said, "Hi! Are you a student? Should I know who you are already?"

To Old Lace.

Oh dear. Good try, Petra.

Old Lace fixed Petra with big, adorable, confused eyes for a moment before Gert interjected. "She's a pet," she explained. But more importantly, as one of her eyebrows shot up: "You get a lot of students who are velociraptors around here?"

"Well, no," Petra said, "as far as I know, that would be a first. But we do have a teacher who's a talking pink pony, and sometimes kids get turned into animals and stuff, so." She shrugged. "I figured it would be rude to rule it out."

"Got it." That had probably been covered by her sibling already, so Gert didn't feel the need to rehash. "Well, I'm Gert. This is Old Lace, who probably won't try to talk to you unless you're offering her pizza."

And even then it would just be hopeful whimpering.

"Pleased to meet you both," Petra said. "I'm Petra. Welcome to Fandom High. So, where are you from? Lot of pet dinosaurs there?"

"Just the one that I know of," Gert replied dryly, although who knew who else her parents had been handing velociraptors out to? "I'm from LA. You?"

"Rhode Island," Petra told her. "But probably not the same Rhode Island."
