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!]

"Well, yeah, but you gotta look at it like the carnival is full of people with stories to tell you, not people who just escaped from the looney bin," Rapunzel confided, giggling. "I know, I know, they all seem crazy, but I don't see why anyone would lie to us, right? What's to gain?"

"Some people just like tormenting others," Edward said, tossing her a faint smile. "But fool's on them if they're trying to bleed us of something, as right now all I've got are the clothes on my back."

Rapunzel's smile faded, and she began to worriedly play with a lock of her hair. "Yeah," she added, a bit unconvincingly. "I didn't come here with anything of value, either. Just the clothes I'm wearing, and well, Pascal."

And from behind one ear appeared a little green chameleon, dropping his camouflage and making an indignant little meep.

"No, Pascal, I'm not going to sell you to tricksters. Don't worry."

"Could probably make a fair pound off of a creature like that," Edward said, but he wasn't about to take a young girl's pet. Especially not on a hangover. "I'll keep an eye out for you in case things do go sour."

"Thanks," Rapunzel said, brightening back up a little. "I'll watch out for you, too."

Which was probably sounded sort of silly, coming from a girl her size, but Rapunzel was pretty resourceful. Besides, she'd never had much of anyone to offer to look out for, anyway.

"Where'd you come from, anyway? I mean, where were you before this?" His clothes were enough like what she knew men of Corona wore to make her wonder.

"I'm from Bristol," Edward said, though he'd pertinently refused to give up his Swansea accent and it was clear as day whenever he spoke. "England. According to some, a couple of hundred years before whenever this is, but I haven't decided whether I believe that as of yet."

He gave her a nod. "Yourself?"

"Corona," she said, raising her brows. "I don't know much about England, but no one here's heard of Corona yet, either, so I guess that makes sense. And I promise not making that up. Sorry to be one of the crazy people. Oh, and I think I'm probably from the past, too."

She was taking all of this fairly well, really.

"Can't say I've heard of Corona either," said Edward. He'd largely decided to move any further bursts of what-the-bloody-hell to the evening, when he planned to go to this Caritas and use what few coins he had left in his pocket to get blazingly drunk again. "But God, I suspect that's going to be happening to me quite a bit whenever I have these talks."

Rapunzel nodded eagerly. "This is why I've stopped thinking everyone's crazy," she said, simply. "It's kind of easier just to go with it and be interested instead, you know?"

Particularly since she'd been fending off questions about her own unusual appearance, and knew she'd keep having to.
