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

[nomoresportscars]

There was the bonfire for everyone who thought Maryland in January was a little too cool for their taste, as well as the moddable warm food and drinks, and chairs and tables in the school colors of blue and gold. Some tables were also set a little further away from the crowds.

Because there were always people who preferred the fringes.

[OCD up! This is the picnic post for general mingling. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"Well, I bet after Canada this seems pretty much tropical," Bay offered. "And I haven't seen Jackson lately. Next time I do, I'll try to piss him off just for you."

"You're the best," Jim said, smiling. "I'm taking care of a friend's cat right now and Jackson hates it. Really hates the cat which makes me want to get like five cats just to annoy him. I think I might have a problem. Am I a terrible person?"

"You like me, so obviously not," Bay smiled back. "Unless I'm a terrible person too. Which is completely possible. How obnoxious is this cat, anyhow?"

She wasn't really a pet person, but she had some sympathy for Jackson. She'd met some fairly obnoxious cats.

"He's actually not really that bad," Jim grudgingly admitted. "Besides waking me up by climbing on me, he's pretty independent. Just does his own thing and makes sure I feed him and he has a warm place to sleep."

Moxy was an easy cat to care for.

"I think it might be just cats in general with Jackson. Actually, it's the world in general with Jackson. Guy is never happy."

"If he wasn't such a jerk about it, that might almost make me feel sorry for him," Bay observed. "Also, you always make me feel lucky I just got Topher. He pretty much just ignores me. And everything else not on a screen."

"Ah, Topher," Jim said, sounding sarcastically fond. "He thinks I've got a girl's name. It's really pretty charming of him."

Not.

"... he thinks James is a name for girls, or he thinks your name is Tiffany or something?" Bay asked. Because those things were equally possible, yet insane in slightly different ways. As an afterthought, she added, "He's called me the wrong body of water a couple times. Ocean or Lake or whatever."

"He was trying to guess my name and every single guess was a girl's name," he said, shaking his head. "Tiffany, Jennifer, Jessica, whatever. Because I am clearly female."

Topher was special.

"Best case scenario, he does it on purpose but I really do think he's that kind of guy to never remember names."

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2014]

"No, he doesn't," Bay agreed. "I think he only knows mine because it is literally all over our room. But thinking your name is Tiffany ... I mean, that's all kinds of special. He could at least go for Dave."

"I think he was expecting me to get pissed or something which..." Jim shrugged. "He'll have to do worse than calling me the wrong name. Besides, it seems that the lovely ladies of this place have scaring Topher into wetting his pants well under control."

"Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure he used to get punched a lot," Bay nodded. "I've never had to, which is kind of a good thing because I'm not that into physical violence."
