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!]

Celia smiled at him, then held out her hand, palm up. In the center of her hand, a glass stem slowly began to form, then grew transparent leaves, and eventually the pale crystalline bloom of a glass lily.

"There," she said, plucking it up with her other hand and holding it out. "I can change it from there, too, if you'd like, but that's a sampling of what I can do. Call it magic or science, it's real."

[ugh sorry I hit enter too soon!]

Ichabod watched, fascinated. That was not slight-of-hand meant to fool the gullible. What it was he wasn't sure, but surely a subject worthy of study. "And am I right in understanding that this ability is innate rather than learned?"

"Bit of both. The ability itself is hereditary through my father's side," Celia said with a small smile. "The precision is eleven years' worth of study." She shrugged, a little self-conscious. "I don't mean to show off, I just find -- the best way to make someone believe is to show them."

"I wasn't thinking you were showing off." Ichabod smiled back. "And it is hardly the most unbelieveable thing I've been told today."
