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

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.

Seriously Fandom, wtf flower crowns?

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!]

"It definitely seems more understated than some of these." No matter how huge, flower crowns were better than randomly turning into a dude, which Emma was using as her benchmark of crazy ~~for now~~.

"What, you don't think you'd have the most stylish one here?"

"No, I don't think. I know it."

His was life was too crappy to give him good things like a fashionable flower crown. It was doing him a favor by not giving him a crown in the first place.

"It'd probably have thorns or be a home to some pissed off bee. That's how my life works."

"I hear you there." Emma knew sucky lives, they should share notes sometimes. Only not, because that would be depressing, and involve trusting other people. "But sometimes there are days you get a free lunch."

One of the reasons crazy school on crazy island was preferable than going back to foster care.

Trust was the most dangerous weapon out there, wasn't it?

"Let's hope nothing's poisoned," Flick said oh so optimistically. "But, I do get the point. Sometimes, you have a good day out of the billion bad ones. And that one good day gives you free food that you can conveniently fit in your pockets."

Anyone who didn't know that by now...had much less sucky lives then them.

"And backpack." She'd come prepared. "Pity that's too obvious in Lecter's class though." Yeah that had been the only class description Emma had actually read this semester.

Flick hadn't even looked at his class schedule. It wasn't like he had the opportunity to pick so he'd just gotten into the frame of mind of not caring. But if he was in another class about grief...

"Food's really important to you, isn't it?" he asked with a quiet chuckle. "Surprised I haven't seen you around, hunting through the common rooms."

Emma shrugged. "A girl's gotta eat." And she'd already learnt that if she wasn't going to keep herself fed, who would?

"Maybe I have been, and I'm just too sneaky for you to notice." That or they'd just missed each other given there were five floors worth of common rooms ~~and her player was slack about posting~~.

"No one's too sneaky for me." There were plenty of people too sneaky for him. "You act like you're a ninja or something. I see no sign of that in the person in front of me."

Because all ninjas wore full black and not flower crowns, of course.

Or at the very least they wore black flower crowns.

"But see if you look at me and don't see a ninja then half my work is already done for me. That's how sneaky I am."

"Touche," he said because he had to give her that one. She'd danced right around his admittedly ridiculous logic. "Thing is, I don't think you have to be a ninja. I steal crap from the common rooms all the time. No one's come to wag a finger at me."

In fact, it was really easy to steal a lot of things on this island. It was still fun but the challenge made it a lot more fun.

Trying to acquire toiletries from the Kwik Stop had resulted in sharks, so Emma would debate the lack of challenge part.

"Oh, sure, point that out." He was ruining Emma's mystique here. "But maybe you're a ninja as well."

"Oh, does my reputation precede me?" Yes, his vast reputation as a ninja. He was quick with his hands, sure, but he was a clod in other ways. Jude had been the smooth one.

But, Flick could play along, act like he wasn't the unwanted son and all. "I think some people would actually agree with you on me being a ninja."

Were they talking leave the newborn on the side of the road or gives backsies on the three year-old foster kid levels of unwanted here?

"It doesn't. Because ninja." Emma thought she was hilarious, there.

They were talking having your little brother defend you from your jackass of a father because you couldn't do it yourself and your father hated you. Typical stuff, you know.

"Ha ha," Flick said, actually laughing at that one because he hadn't seen it coming. "So, you're a ninja and I'm a ninja. Shouldn't we be having some ninja war?"

Standard thing, really. They won at losing.

"Probably, or ganging up on some pirates." Even if she was still catching up on modern pop-culture, she'd gotten that much.

"You seen any pirates around here?" he asked, glancing around. He didn't remember catching sight of any colorful parrots or people with hooks for hands.

"Not that I can remember, but, the second I see one, bam, right in the kisser."

For a joke, that would end up being more true than Emma would realise.
