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

Throughout the lawn, tables and chairs had been set up and scattered, some out in the bright, sunny center of everything, and some in the darker, more remote areas.

Eat up, folks! Don't let that food go to waste!

[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!]

"It is, in fact, a very old name should you ask some," Loki corrected amicably. "And I have been here for a number of years now. I feel most at home now."

With the constant invasions and near death experiences.

"What can you tell me about this place?" Four asked. "It's very different from what I'm used to."

In that all the buildings were intact and no one had punched anyone yet.

"How different might we be thinking?" It was important to know where to begin.

"Where I come from, most of the buildings are falling down and our city is the only inhabitable place on the planet."

Cheery.

Well. That was different.

"Ah." Loki gave that all due thought before continuing on. "Well, that would not be the case here. Depending on who you talk to, of course. Most come from different versions of the universe. Some from different times. Tell me, are there evil robots hunting people in your version?"

Four shook his head. "No. We're placed into factions to stop from destroying ourselves."

"...really? How does that work?"

"When our city founders closed the walls to the outside world and let them kill each other off, they divided themselves into five groups, based on which of humanity's flaws they felt had caused the problems to begin with. Abnegation believed it was humanity's selfishness, Amity believed it was its meanness, Candor went with lying, Erudite decided it was stupidity, and Dauntless said it was cowardice." Four gave him a very tiny smile. "Which do you think I picked?"

Loki eyed him for a moment. "You remind me a bit of mine brother so I would say you chose the thing that would allow you to hit things a lot."

"Very good," Four said with a nod. "I'm Dauntless. You have a brother? Any other siblings?"

"Just the one who would claim me."

Because of the murdering of the others. So.

Well, those things happen.

Four pointed at the dormitory. "And we sleep there?"

"Verily," Loki replied. "If you are clever, you can find a common room with food in it should someone order too much."

Because the restaurants were weird.

"Emma mentioned that," Four said, nodding. "It's strange: back in Dauntless you need to bribe the cooks to give you extra."

"I can assure you that is not necessary." A beat. "Though I am sure it would give you even more here."

Now Loki needed to try this.

"I don't think I could fathom what 'even more' would look like here," Four admitted.

"As hard has better feasts," Loki replied. "Though I am more fond of these for the cheetos."

"Asgard?" Four repeated, then, "Cheetos?"

Loki darted away to fill a plate with the violently orange treats before returning. "Cheetos."

"That is quite a color," Four observed, poking at one a little dubiously. When you grew up on boiled chicken and carrots, Cheetos were going to be shocking. "Are they sweet?"

"They are salty and cheesy," Loki said, taking one for himself.

Four still looked dubious, but he tried one. "They aren't terrible!" he said, sounding surprised.

"There is much more that isn't terrible," Loki assured him.

"I'm afraid I'll give myself a stomachache if I try everything that looks interesting all at once," Four admitted.

"Ah." How unfortunate. "Well, there will always be more."
