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

Whoever worked their magic to ensure that the welcome picnics had nice weather had cut their mojo very close this time around. The weather was lovely today - sunny and hot enough to make it clear that summer in Fandom had finally begun - but the overnight thunderstorms had left puddles all over the lawn that hadn't quite dried up yet.

Still, the tables and chairs had managed to be scattered around, along with the buffet table of ~~moddable~~ food and drinks, and the information table with name tags, the Big and Little Sibling list, and the list of new roommates. The only thing missing was people to enjoy the festivities!

[OCD is up! This is part one of the picnic, specifically for meeting siblings, roommates, and teachers. The rest of the picnic is happening here in an effort to keep browsers from breaking for as long as possible. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"I am all those things," Jaina said, feeling like this whole getup should surprise her more than it did. "Nice entrance, by the way."

"I was running slightly late," Batman said. "And there aren't many places to hide a jet around here."

"You only say that because you're new," Jaina said. "So you're Batman."

Said because, uh, his name was Batman.

"I may be new, but I did my research," Batman said. "There's nothing here that really suits my needs for jet storage."

"...So you weren't kidding about the jet?" she asked.

"I didn't feel like taking the shuttle," Batman said. Because it was hard to have dignity wearing a costume on a bus. "That left me with limited options."

"Well, hopefully you don't have to go running off in your jet that often?" she asked.

"I have a remote starter and excellent autopilot," Batman explained. "If I need it, it can pick me up in minutes."

"You'll do just fine here," Jaina decided. "What are you teaching?"

"I'm calling it Advanced Survivalism," Batman said. "I'll be throwing some of the greatest challenges I can think of at my class and making sure they get through them."

"I did something like that once," she said. "Though I'm thinking yours sounds harder..."

Which made her feel like she was slacking a little, yes.

"I hope it is," Batman said. "What do you teach?"

"Hitting Things 101."

Jaina just wanted to see people's reactions when she said that, honestly.

Batman's face didn't even twitch. "Good. The students could surely use some extra combat training."

"I did that class, too," Jaina said. "This is almost pure catharsis."

Okay, that got an eyebrow raise from Batman. You could tell because the cowl shifted slightly in the brow area. "It's hitting things for the sake of hitting them? Not as training?"

"I'm sure some people will use it as training," Jaina said. "It was a rough semester, and sometimes you just need to hit."

"I prefer my hitting to be productive. To each their own, I suppose," Batman said.

"You do a lot of hitting, I'm guessing?" Call it a hunch.

"It's the fastest way to reduce crime in Gotham City," Batman said. "Hit them hard enough and criminals become discouraged. And then they tell their friends."

"Can't argue with that," Jaina said. "Are you planning on doing that a lot here?"

What with the costume and all.

"Is crime a problem here?" Batman asked.

"Only about once a year or so." Tended to line up with a BDE, usually.

"Then I'll be very busy that one night," Batman said.
