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!]

"Horse things with horns on their heads?" Kaylin asked in amazement. "No. I don't even really know any horses. They scare me."

Yes, she was talking to a horse - er, pony - but yes, she was still a bit scared.

"Oh gosh!" Pinkie said. "We're not scary at all, we're usually super friendly! At least where I come from. And that's only counting the ponies that don't go creepy and evil."

She was so helpful.

"But you're big. And you bounce."

Which was really the scarier part.

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2014]

[locointhecoco]

"Well, I'm bigger than a dog or a baby dragon," Pinkie allowed. "But bouncing isn't scary, is it?"

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2014]

[notamascot]

"I've never seen a baby dragon," Kaylin admitted. "But the full-grown ones are scary enough."

Even in there human form, which thank the gods, any of them, was all she'd seen them in.

And yes, bouncing was totally scary.

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2014]

[locointhecoco]

"Full grown dragons are pretty scary," Pinkie agreed. "And mean. They actually don't grow up until they become selfish and start hoarding things."

Pinkie's world was weird.

[notamascot]

"I wouldn't know much about that," Kaylin admitted, "But you may be right."

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2014]

[locointhecoco]

"I do," Pinkie assured her. "One of my best friends is a baby dragon."

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2014]

[notamascot]

"Do you speak Dragon?" Kaylin asked. "Or do you just speak High Barrani to it?"

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2014]

[locointhecoco]

"Uhhh," Pinkie said. "I just speak Equestrian. Like you!"

What? Everypony clearly spoke Equestrian. Even the humans.

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2014]

[notamascot]

"It sounds just like Elantran to me."

Huh. How strange.

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2014]

[locointhecoco]

"Well isn't that funny!" Pinkie said. "The world's a pretty silly place, sometimes."

Thus spake the pink pony.

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2014]

[notamascot]

Oh, there was no doubt that Kaylin was more than aware of the irony of that statement. "I suppose it is."

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2014]

[locointhecoco]

"So are you superduperexcited for your new classes?" Pinkie asked.

Because why wouldn't she be, really?

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2014]

[notamascot]

"I'm... not such a good student," Kaylin admitted. "Most of my teachers despair of me."

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2014]

[locointhecoco]

"Well that's not very nice of them!"

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2014]

[notamascot]

"I can't really blame them," Kaylin said. "I just... their classes aren't things that can do anything for me."

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2014]

[locointhecoco]

"Well, I'll betcha that won't be the case here! There's all sorts of neato classes! Like baking and teamwork and video games and being awesome!"

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2014]

[notamascot]

Kaylin looked at her skeptically. Baking? Being awesome? And what in all the world were video games?

"I guess we'll see," she said.

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2014]

[locointhecoco]

"Unless you decide to run away and go somewhere else," Pinkie said cheerfully. "Then you might never find out."

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2014]

[notamascot]

Kaylin looked shocked. "Run away?"

Okay, yes, she'd done that before, but in this case...

"I wouldn't do that! Marcus would never let me be a Hawk if I ran away from here!"

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2014]

[locointhecoco]

"You can turn into a hawk?!"

That sounded so cool!

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2014]

[notamascot]

"I wish," Kaylin said wistfully. "Having wings... that would be so wonderful."

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2014]

[locointhecoco]

"It's pretty sweet," Pinkie said, a little wistfully. "But it's not so bad being an earth pony, either. Or a human who can't turn into a hawk, I'm sure."

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2014]

[notamascot]

"Have you ever met an Aerian?" Kaylin asked. "They're like humans, but they have these huge wings and they can fly whenever they want."
