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!]

"Not on purpose," Rapunzel said thoughtfully, "though I bet I probably have it. I, um, kind of try to keep out of the public eye, mostly, so...no, I'm not trying for a world record." It was okay to be awkward, Kathy. She was too.

"Are you new, too? I just got here today."

Yeah, but at least Rapunzel had an excuse, living in a tower away from people her whole life. Kathy was from L.A., the hub of glamorous people.

"Who me?" Yes, you, Kathy. Great job. "Oh no. I've been here for almost a year now. I've had two little sibs and everything."

STELLAR CONVERSATIONAL SKILLS, KATHY. A++.

"Lucky you," Rapunzel replied with a giggle. "I'm still kind of...getting over the shock of it all, you know? I'm Rapunzel, by the way."

So, see, Kathy, she hadn't heard the jokes. Because they hadn't been invented yet. It was pretty meta.

And this would teach Kathy to make assumptions, now wouldn't it.

"Right, of course you are," Kathy said with a little smile. "Because of all that hair, right?"

Rapunzel looked puzzled. "I don't think so," she said carefully. "I mean, I've had my name my whole life, and my hair wasn't anywhere near this long when I was a baby...so...I don't think it's related?"

That was weird. Maybe her name meant 'hair' in another language she didn't know about, or something. Wouldn't that be crazy?

"Wait, you mean your mom named you Rapunzel? That's the name that's on your--"

Okay, going by her dress, she probably didn't have a birth certificate from the local hospital.

"Did you grow up locked in a tower, too?"

[Let me know if Kathy says too much about the story! Any elements I should avoid?]

Rapunzel's eyes grew wide, and she actually began gathering up her hair frantically. "H-how did -- no, I, um -- what tower? Why would you think that?"

She didn't know how or why this girl knew that, but she wanted to run away and go back to her tower at the question. She shouldn't have been able to know that -- she'd been so careful not to mention any of that, and now....

Again, she probably should have really come up with a cover story rather than relied on her sub-par lying skills, huh?

[Maybe not the kidnapped-by-a-witch bit? Just because I think she'll actually full-on flee at that. *pets her*]
