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

[bigdamnprincipal]

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!]

"Eh, he got all bent out of shape when I tried to earn him about my experiments," Barry said with a grimace, "But if he can't listen that's his fucking problem. Glad to hear you ended up with someone nice and not someone nasty or weird."

"Wait, what kind of experiments?" Rapunzel asked, suddenly worried. She didn't think this was like when she did her little kitchen chemistry projects with baking soda, somehow.

"Oh, physics, genetics, dimensional portals, chemistry, nuclear power" Barry said trying to wave it off as no big deal. That kind of shit. Why? Do you do that kind of stuff?"

Might explain all that hair.

"A...little," Rapunzel said slowly. "I'm not much of a scientist in practicality -- I've done some work with chemistry, and a lot with astronomy. I don't get out much, though, so I do a lot of reading, at least." She cleared her throat, and added, "You sound a little more advanced than what I've dabbled in, though."

To say the least.

"Eh. I'm different. Different people are at different levels of science," Barry said with a shrug. "At least you're a reader, intelligent and open to new concepts. That's what fucking matters."

"What other way is there to be?" Rapunzel wondered. "I mean, I know not everyone loves to learn, but...I don't get it. Why wouldn't you want to find out everything you can about everything? I mean, I want to know how everything works."

She wouldn't be getting much sleep here, probably.

You are so getting a book on airplanes Rapunzel.

"See? That's exactly the way people should think! But some people are content with the things the way they are. It's maddening! Sometimes you've got to push the envelope and yourself to find out new things. That's how discoveries a,re made and boundaries are pushed."

You can tell Barry was passionate about this subject because he hasn't dropped an f-bomb.

"Exactly!" Rapunzel said excitedly, actually jumping a little for emphasis. "There's no way anyone has discovered everything yet. Did you know people come here from other planets? We don't even know how to travel to the stars, in my time, or that there's life off of Earth. I never want to get tired of that feeling of finding out something incredible for the first time."

She probably wouldn't, considering how eager she was to get her nose into everything.

"I have a feeling that you're going to do just fine here, Rapunzel," Barry said with a rare grin. "I'm sure it's going to be hell trying to pull you out of the library."
