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!]

"Magic is kind of overrated if it comes with a few centuries of solitude to go with it," Jack pointed out, tilting his head at the girl. "Being able to make ice and frost whenever I want is fun and all, but the whole... immortal winter spirit thing that nobody can see gets old after a while."

Three centuries, Minako. Three. Centuries.

Try being reincarnated, Mr. Jack Frost. But Minako was sticking with her innocent school girl identity.

"Ano, but why can't people see you? I mean, why do you think they can't see you? I see you!"

"You do," Jack allowed, tilting his head at her. "You see me. But most people don't even believe I'm real. And if they think that... well... then it's true enough, at least in their personal view of the world. If people don't believe in me, so far as they're concerned I'm not even there."

It sucked.

"You're here, how can they think you aren't real? I mean, you're here!" Minako, you are not great at understanding things. "If someone is a real person or not has nothing to do in believing in them, right?"

"Well, right," Jack replied, drawling out the words slightly as he tried to wrap his head around the girl standing in front of him. "I'm right here, and I'm real. I know that, and so do you. But people who refuse to believe that... they just can't see me at all."

"But...everyone knows about Jack Frost!" Minako blurted out. "You're in, like, all the stories!"

Sorry, Jack, yes. Minako does, actually, believe almost everything she's told.

"At least a few of them," Jack agreed, smiling a little. "But that's the trouble with stories, you know? Just because someone hears about something doesn't mean they can always accept that it's real."

And yet, here he was! Real! Clearly!
