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!]

"Um. I don't think so?" he asked. "I mean, we've been invaded before but everybody survive it with limbs in tact."

How comforting.

"But that doesn't happen a lot. Most of the time it's pretty quiet."

Elsa wasn't feeling particularly comforted yet, no. She frowned, wringing her hands in front of her chest.

"I think I'd much prefer the quiet. How often is 'not a lot,' exactly?"

"Well I've been here since September and it's only happened once." This was comforting, be comforted. "You don't have to worry, if you have trouble you can just come to me. I wouldn't let anything happen to you."

"You'll protect me from limb-threatening danger?" How quickly that concerned frown shifted to a faintly amused smile. "You're a fighter, then, are you?"

No offense, Isaac, but you didn't look like much of one.

"Well I'm a werewolf," Isaac said, deciding to just be up front about it. "So I've been in my fair share of fights, but 'fighter' really isn't the term I'd use. I don't really have any training."

Well, that neatly explained the 'us,' at least. Elsa nodded thoughtfully. She was a girl who shot ice from her hands. Being told that her new sibling occasionally moonlighted as a wolf wasn't terribly jarring.

"Well... then I appreciate the offer," she decided, "and I'll keep it in mind. The most trouble I'm used to seeing comes in the form of math questions out of a textbook. I'm afraid I wouldn't know how to react to actual danger."

She suspected it wouldn't end well for someone, though.

"You get used to it," he said with a shrug. "It's best to take all the weird stuff calmly. Freaking out just makes things worse. And at least here most of the weird stuff is either awesome like chocolate rain or mildly annoying."

Elsa could live with more weirdness like the chocolate coins. Could it just be that sort of weird all of the time?

Please?

"I'm pretty good at keeping calm, at least," she replied. "I should be able to deal with 'annoying.' And I'm always okay with chocolate."

She had a sweet tooth. It was one of the few things the princesses of Arendelle had in common.

"See? It won't be all that bad," he said. "You'll get used to it, trust me."

"I guess I'm going to have to," Elsa agreed. "Thank you, Isaac. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for you if I get too lost."

That shouldn't take too long.
