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

[bigdamnprincipal]

The nice thing about the fall welcome picnics was that, well, they didn't typically happen in the fall. It was definitely still summer in Fandom, with sunny skies and a light breeze blowing through the front lawn of the school. Folks had gotten up bright and early to make sure there were plenty of tables, chairs, and blue and gold streamers to decorate the picnic area.

And glitter. So much glitter for the new folks to learn to love.

Getting the food out was the finishing touch, and then everything was ready for the new (and not-so-new) arrivals!

[This is part one of the picnic, specifically for meeting siblings, roommates and teachers. The rest of the picnic is happening here! Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

Hannibal nodded gravely. "I should hate for him to think I had any such plans for him. Given the island's apparent bent in its whimsy," he added wryly, "I can't promise not to eat him in any sense of the word, but I do find consuming one's friends to be, if nothing else, in extremely poor taste."

Three puns for the price of one! You'd wanted that, hadn't you, Karla?

"Thank you," he said more seriously. "I appreciate the warning."

NO THAT HAD NOT BEEN ON HER WISHLIST, HANNIBAL.

Hopefully the extreme groan she worked up would pass that message along. Puns were the wooooorst.

"What two consenting-within-the-confines-of-Fandom-whimsy adults get up to in their spare time is no business of mine," she said, waggling her eyebrows. "That is, unless they wish to gossip and then I'm all ears."

Hannibal chuckled. "A gentleman never kisses and tells. Then again, gossip is so very fun. I shall have to consider."

And excuse you, Karla, his puns were the best!

That was not exactly a high hurdle to surpass, Hannibal!

"I mean, I am here all semester. We have to make some kind of conversation, don't we? And if I turn into one of those females who can only talk about what and how she's gestating, I will have no recourse but walling myself up in shame."

Is that what you wanted? For Karla to bewail you from behind a wall, 'Curse you, Hannibal!'?

"We can't have that," Hannibal proclaimed gravely. "Still, there are things such as medicine and healing to discuss, after all."

"True, though I won't have the Craft to be able to show you anything," Karla said, glum. "So it will be theoretical until..." she paused to calculate. "January."

Hannibal chuckled. "As I doubt we'll be visiting any surgeries, all of mine will be theoretical in any case," he pointed out. "I look forward to discussing theory."

"Well, it would have been nice to show you some of what I can do anyway," Karla grumbled. Blasted blastocyst. "The next ten months are going to be so annoying. It will be a toss-up to see whether I lose my mind over being Craftless or being smothered first."

Hannibal smiled. "While I can do nothing about the former, should you ever need an escape, I'll have that room ready for you. It comes with good food and perhaps a watchful medical eye, but no smothering, I promise."
