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

[nomoresportscars]

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!]

"What's a Danger Shop?" Celia asked, looking mildly alarmed. "It sounds -- well, dangerous. And probably unnecessary," she added, looking down at the sheet. "I'm already quite...good at control."

"Oh, it's just a... a kind of... shit." How did you explain holographic technology to someone from over a century ago? "Kind of a room that makes tangible illusions? So you can walk in and interact with things that aren't really there. You can't get hurt in it or anything, I dunno why they even call it that. A flair for the dramatic or something, I guess."

"Tangible illusions?" Celia repeated, intrigued. "Hmm. Is it science, or magic?"

It seemed that things here were veering more towards science, which worried her.

"Pretty sure it's all digital," Sparkle replied. "But it's no science I'm familiar with. Probably something from the future, or space, or something like that. I never asked."

A beat.

"You're catching on to what the right questions are fast, though."

"I've always been quick to adapt," she said with a bright smile. "I grew up in a series of theaters, in hundreds of cities. You learn to get to the heart of the matter quickly when you live out of a trunk for that long."

"Yeah, I bet. All I really have experience with are Toronto and Baltimore, but I know my way around moving from place to place and getting the hang of shit fast. So, are you the thespian in the family, or what?"

Shut up. The word 'thespian' amused him.

"My father's a magician," Celia said, shaking her head with a slight smile. "I just travel with him, though I'm learning the craft myself. Toronto, though? Lovely city. Though of course the last time we passed through it was...oh, 1880 or so. Probably different from what you're used to."

"Yeah, pretty sure we've got much taller buildings and much brighter lights, now." Sparkle smirked a little. "We're still Canadian, though."

Which probably didn't mean quite the same thing these days, either. Who knew?

"I'm glad it hasn't relocated," Celia said, grinning. "That's just what I need, migrating cities. I have enough trouble getting lost as it is."

She glanced at the castle, and added, "And it doesn't look like that's going to be improving."

"Yeah, probably not," Sparkle laughed. "But hey, it's a small town. And if you need someone to point you in the right direction, I'm not hard to find. I'm the kid with the raccoon make-up and the hedgehog hair most of the time."

Not many people did that. Or admitted to it.
