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!]

"I wish I could show you the Underground," Arietty said. "I mean, it's not wide open, especially not for someone as big as you, but no one looks at me too funny there at all. Everyone's really nice."

It helped that her father had managed to save the entire community, yes.

"I'd love to see it," Mercy said. "You must miss being with people your own size who are all really nice to you."

"Mostly I miss Mum and Dad," Arietty said. "It was hard not getting to go home for Borrowing Season."

"I understand," Mercy said. "I still really miss my foster mom and dad. What's Borrowing Season?"

"Beans usually call it Christmas. You all get together and sing and there's usually lots of leftover food and things for us Borrowers."

"Oh, yeah, that makes sense, I guess," Mercy said. "There's always more than anyone can eat around the holidays. I'm sorry you couldn't get home for that."

"I'll figure it out eventually. There was a weird hole that dumped me here, there must be one that goes the other way, somewhere."

"Portalocity doesn't work for you?" Mercy asked. "Or is it that you don't know the destination? But yeah, there must be another one that will take you home somewhere."

"What's Portalocity?"

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2013]

[walkswithcoyote]

"It's an agency that arranges, well, portals to different worlds and times. It's how a lot of the people here get back and forth to their homes," Mercy explained.

Arietty's eyes went wide and she shook her head. "You beans think of everything!"

"Well, there's an awful lot of us," Mercy said with a grin, "so..."

"I never really thought of it, that way.'

"The more people you've got, the more ideas they come up with it seems," Mercy said with a smile.
