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!]

"That's what that was?" Oh. Well. "I saw it a long time ago," Gert admitted. "Anyway, Old Lace won't do that. Unless I ask."

Wasn't that reassuring?

"Oh, well, I guess that's alright then." He had been in contact with worse lizard things. Jackson. "This is Puppy Joe. No, I didn't name him."

"It's a little redundant," Gert observed. "You adopted him?" Since the name had come from someone else, and all.

"Ah, no, he actually belongs to someone else. I'm dog-sitting," Stiles said. "And I'm Stiles, by the way."

"Gert," Gert replied. "This is Old Lace." See, she'd totally seen some movies... not that the reference to Arsenic and Old Lace was immediately obvious since she wasn't going by that name anymore. Still. "You know, it's weird you're the first one who's been that freaked out by the giant dinosaur."

"I wasn't so much freaked out as much as I was surprised," Stiles said. "Everything surprises me. I'm a jumpy person."

"And that works out for you on an island full of talking ponies?"

Gert was dubious.

Stiles nodded. "It works out surprisingly well. But I've had ADHD my whole life, I've spazzed out at way less than dinosaurs and talking ponies."

"I think Old Lace feels a little less special now," Gert quipped.

Old Lace was preoccupied by trying to lightly bat at Puppy Joe's foot with her snout as if to verify that he really was actually that short.

"Well I'm pretty sure Old Lace is the only dinosaur on island so there's still that," Stiles said, looking down at where Puppy Joe was sniffing at Old Lace curiously. "Seriously though if your dinosaur eats that dog I'm going to be in real trouble."

"She won't," Gert promised. "She's a pretty good listener."

She'd have to be, since the two of them had a telepathic link.

"Unless the dog is a murderous vampire or something," she added.

"Nah, he's cool." The owner on the other hand... "So I guess you'll settle into Fandom pretty quick since you're used to weird."

"Hope so," Gert groused. "Did you?"

"Oh yeah, totally," Stiles said. "It's easy to adjust when you're used to weird stuff at home."

"But not pony/dinosaur weird stuff."

Well, now she was just curious.

"Ah no, more like werewolf stuff." Why hide it?

"...Seriously?"

Well. "I guess I can't be surprised, considering I met a vampire a few weeks ago. Just tell me your werewolves aren't as creepy and cliche."

"Some are and some aren't," he said. "Much like regular people."
