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!]

"Sometimes," Kaylin said, looking a bit surprised at her roommate's reaction. "Just like people kill other people with knives or rocks or their fists."

Someone had grown up in a place where life was way too short and not of very much value. It's why she wanted to become a Hawk.

"Magic's just another way. Trickier though 'cause it's harder to tell who did it."

"Ah..." Elsa still looked a little unsettled by what Kaylin was saying, but she was squaring her shoulders and nodding faintly. "I'm sorry. I've just never heard somebody speak so casually about murder, before."

Elsa didn't get out much. But then, Arendelle was a fairly peaceful kingdom overall.

"Sorry. "

Kaylin blushed a little and looked down. "Where I grew up it was just a fact of life. And working with the Hawks to solve crimes... well... I forget that people who didn't grow up in the fiefs don't know what it's like to have your life not mean very much. I'm sorry if I upset you."

She didn't apologize much, so it might not ahve come out as smoothly as she meant it.

"It's fine," Elsa promised. "You can't change where you came from, after all, any more than I can. The world can be a very upsetting place. That's something I'm going to have to get used to, if I'm going to continue attending classes here."

Or, say, if she was going to become Queen someday.

"And it's not often very fair," Kaylin agreed.

She'd had to accept that a very very long time ago.

"I hope it's not really unfair here."
