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

[bigdamnprincipal]

With all the rain that had blown through earlier in the week, the school administration had been worried that welcome picnic day would be wet and gloomy. Thankfully, it was sunny, warm, and beautiful outside, and everything had been set up just in time for the shuttle of new folks to arrive. There was a buffet table of food and drinks waiting, along with the list of Big and Little Siblings, the list of roommates, and more name tags than they'd probably need for three picnics.

Also, there wasn't a single flower out on the lawn after last weekend. Just saying.

With everything in place, it looked like it was time for the first summer term to begin!


[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!]

"These give me.. Well, I can do things with them. Healing and... Stuff."

Like flaying a man alive, but she wasn't about to mention that.

"Well, that's good," Isabelle replied with a nod. "At least it's not all killings with nothing good attached." There were probably better ways of stating that but Isabelle was not always the most tactful. "In any case, Fandom tends to be a pretty safe place, in that regard. Weird things like that don't seem to follow people here, as far as I can tell."

Lack of tact would definitely turn out to be something they had in common.

"I suppose," Kaylin agreed. "I... can't always control it, though. That's why I wear this." She showed her the golden jeweled bracer she wore on her left arm - also pretty much always covered by her sleeve. "It stops me from doing anything."

"Huh." That was a very eloquent response. "I've never seen anything like that."

Well, nothing with that purpose. There was a ruby hanging around her neck that could tell when demons were near, so she was well acquainted with jewelry that had mystical properties.

"Its very old. No one even really knows how it works, just that it does," Kaylin admitted.

Isabelle nodded again, with a general critical look at the other girl, like she was assessing the situation.

"I think at this point I should ask you where you're from."

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Summer 2014]

"Elantra," Kaylin said firmly. "Though I grew up in the fief of Nightshade."

She wasn't even mentioning Barren. She wasn't even going to think about Barren.

"I've never heard of either," Isabelle replied, and didn't seem surprised by that. This was Fandom, after all. "I'm from New York."

She was doubting that was going to yield recognition, either.

Kaylin shook her head. "No, I have never heard of that. I'm beginning to believe that people here are actually from different worlds."

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Summer 2014]

[seveninchmotto]

"Different worlds, different times," Isabelle confirmed with a little nod. "I know someone who's also from New York and the same time period as me, but his New York is still different."

Or at least she hadn't found any traces of the Shadow World over there when she'd visited – and she would have seen it if there'd been anything to see.

"You get used to it after a while."

"I suppose you can get used to anything if you have enough time," Kaylin said. "But there's an awful lot to get used to here."
