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

It was a new year, and with the new year came the new spring term, and Fandom High was all set to welcome its new students, along with those just returning from holiday trips home. It was a familiar setting for the latter bunch: there was the requisite bonfire, with tables and chairs scattered around it, as well as the buffet table with moddable warm food and drinks.

And of course, name tags and lists of Big and Little Siblings as well as roommates. Yep, the weather was okay (if snowy) for early January, and Fandom was all ready to celebrate the start of a new term.

[OCD up! This is part one of the picnic, specifically for meeting siblings, roommates, and teachers. The rest of the picnic is happening here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

The coat had been picked for warmth, rather than style, so... Mostly it earned Mindy a raised eyebrow. Although admittedly that might've happened no matter what she'd said. Electroclash's social skills, man.

"Two years," she said. "But I'm just the guidance counselor again now. Name's Electroclash."

Did that explain the go-go boots?

"Whoa. Cool name." She meant it, too. "Sounds like something Kanye and Nicki Minaj would name their baby."

She paused and held up a hand in case Electroclash was about to protest. "I know they're not a couple yet, but I just, I can tell it's going to happen eventually."

Yeah, no matter how accurate an idea that actually was, Electroclash had no idea who either of those people were.

"It's a cape name."

"Sorry, is that British slang or something?" Mindy asked politely. "The only slang I learned when I was on vacation in London was the difference between chips and crisps."

"I'm a cape." She knew that probably wouldn't be enough. She'd been on Fandom long enough to get the newbie thing. "A superhero?"

"What?"

An eloquent response.

"You don't mean just because you help kids with their problems, do you?"

"No." She opened her coat enough for a better look at the uniform underneath. "I mean I dress like this and fight crime and shit."

"Cute dress," Mindy observed before she caught up and realized, "Oh, it's a costume."

...Okay then. This was weird news.

Electroclash shrugged and wrapped the coat around herself again.

"Told you."

"And when you're not fighting crime, you give life advice to teenagers?"

She wasn't sure she had it in her to be as shocked as she should have been. Instead she noted, "That would make a good comic book movie."

Snort. "Yeah, it really wouldn't."

There was an extensive comic and movie industry revolving around real-life capes where she was from. She knew what she was talking about.

"No?" No, Mindy. "I'd see it."

Said like she was remotely a source of critical information.

"One person isn't exactly a bloody audience, mate." But, it also wasn't a terribly interesting topic, so Electroclash was going to move on. "So what are you supposed to be teaching?"
beyonce_pad_thai: ([chat] nice to meet you)

"Sexual Health," Mindy chirped. She had quite a few questions about this superhero thing still, but right now she was willing to let the subject drop in exchange for talking about herself. "I'm an OB/GYN, so it's kind of a sharing-my-wisdom thing?"

Don't say that like it could ever sound casual, Min.
