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

[bigdamnprincipal]

There were plenty of tables and chairs scattered around the lawn for anyone who wanted to sit down once they'd had their fill of the buffet, or to recover from starting to find out what this place was all about. No one would judge the need to take a mental breather.

Some of the tables were out in the open, for those who weren't allergic to the sun, and some of the tables were in the shade, or far from the rest of the crowd. Wherever people decided to rest, there was space enough for everyone.

[OCD is up! This is the post for general mingling! Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here! Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"What's so weirdass about worlds without powers, anyhow? At least our worlds are consistent about it." Sparkle shrugged. "Find me, like, three different realities with powers that actually agree on how the damn things are supposed to work."

"I get bored hearing powers are weird and decided to turn it around," Victor said, with a slight laugh in his voice. "But you're right. It's not even just different worlds -- I bet if you went up to three people from more or less my world, none of us would have the exact same powers."

"God. How do you even keep it all straight?"

Sparkle, even Marvel sometimes messed it up. Relax.

"What are the odds I'll get kickass powers too if I like go to your world and get in like some kind of horrible industrial accident, anyhow?"

As opposed to the odds that he'd just end up grotesquely dismembered or something.

Victor scratched the back of his neck, appearing to actually give the matter some thought. (His databases knew both the rough number of industrial accidents in North America per year and the number of people reporting new powers. Sometimes his databases were very dorky.)

"Maybe one in a thousand?" he hazarded. "One in five hundred, you come out of it with a tail or fluorescent spit or whatever -- something useless but weird. The rest, you're probably, um, mangled."

"Hm... I've seen worse odds on horse races," Sparkle mused.

Yes. But horse races didn't generally result in people being brutally maimed.

"I'll sleep on it."

No, he wasn't going to run to The 616 to get himself doused in toxic waste or something.
