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!]

Just as how it was a wonder how a carving for hard liquor could help someone start a conversation! Life had such funny ways. "Dances." She had never been in one. Well, she had never been in many, many things. "Could be fun." Somehow Emily was pretty sure she would hate every minute of it though.

"I'm Emily Thorne, and I certainly hope you're right." She would offer a handshake, but something stopped her from making physical contact. So, a little wave it was. And the smile was still on.

Atton gave a kind of half-hearted wave back in return. Look, he didn't do cheery, all right?

"Atton Rand," he offered. "And I haven't had any reason to complain so far."

... wrong. But then it didn't take him a lot of effort to find something to complain about.

Her face would hurt later after all the cheery. She really didn't need cheery.

"Well then, either the weirdness of this place has been greatly exaggerated or you really know how to handle weird stuff." Going by Jessica's advice? The second. But back at the subject at hand.

"So what is that you're drinking, or otherwise where can I find the suspicious-looking wrapped up soda?" She wanted a drink, but she hadn't forgotten this was a school. Even without being on a school ever before, Emily knew there were showoffs.

"Just a little pick-me-up," Atton said smoothly. "Pretty much out, though, which makes me think it's time to pack up this picnic and go."

He slammed back the last gulp of... water and put the bottle down. "As for the weird stuff... trust me, compared to where I come from, it could be a lot worse."

There could be Sith, for one!

Emily pursed her lips. Show off. He could be useful later though. Maybe. The world was full of paper wrapped bottles, right?

"That is very reassuring, Atton," said Emily as she gave the bottle one last unappreciative look.

She still cocked her head though, sparing him one last smile. "Until a next time, then."

"Sure. Bye. Maybe I'll see you around Caritas some time," Atton said easily.

Don't think he didn't notice you fixating on that bottle, Emily.

"Bye. Caritas. I'll remember that name. And maybe you will." She had already turned around and had taken a few steps. And she didn't stop.

Don't think she hadn't meant to be so obvious, Atton. Her Mysterious Asian Man would be disappointed in her if she left anything to chance.
