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

[momslilassassin]

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 for those who needed a little more space to process. Wherever people decided to rest, there was space enough for everyone.

[OOC: This is part two of the picnic, separated in an effort to save our browsers for as long as possible. Part one, to run into siblings, roommates and teachers, is over here, though teachers are also welcome in this post, of course. Because the picnic is outside, it is open to all students, teachers and townies.]

"Real name or code name?" Victor asked, mostly out of habit. "And sure. But I should warn you, I'm not a cheap date."

Also a joke.

"Only name," Flick replied, unable to keep some steeliness out of his voice. He clung to his name like a shield most days. It was battered and duct taped but it still worked.

When he spoke next, the steeliness was gone. "Well, you're probably gonna be disappointed because I've got maybe five bucks to my name. I'd be the cheapest date."

Only name. Huh. Victor could tell it was important to Flick, so he backed off.

"Yeah?" he asked. "It's pretty easy to get a job in town if you want one."

"Don't you have to have a resume and references for that sort of thing?"

It wasn't a bad idea, actually, and it'd be a good distraction, at least. He could make money the honest way and the dishonest way. Play both sides of the coin and toe the line and all that philosophical crap.

He'd think about it. "I have neither."

"There are so many people from different universes here that it doesn't matter," Victor said. "Seriously, when I got hired at the repair shop the owner didn't even ask for ID. It's ... kind of freaky, actually. Useful, but freaky."

"And what about previous experience?" Flick wondered curiously. He didn't have much of that either. His previous education wasn't going to do him any favors either.

Though, he wasn't going to be getting into that if he could help it.

"Probably depends what you want to do?" Victor speculated. He didn't have any formal experience, but he suspected he'd been a special case. "But I don't think anybody on the island is too picky. What kind of job are you thinking about?"

"None, really. Just asking general questions," Flick responded with another shrug. For once, he was trying to listen to his father and not draw attention to himself but he guessed that would not last.

"In case I do decide that I need to join the rat race and all," he added after a moment. "I figure I can live off my hopes and dreams for awhile."

They'd run out in another five minutes.
