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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Were you a veteran Fandom resident? Did you finish getting your brain broken by your sibling and/or buddy? Did you just want to sit down to recover from the shuttle ride? If so, then there were plenty of tables and chairs set up across the lawn just waiting to be filled!

[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!]

Okay. This was a school that had picnics to welcome the new students. So Gwen was feeling like this school was maybe strange?

It looked smaller than Midtown, too- though the castle was pretty awesome- so Gwen and her exposed navel ring would just be here, trying to look like she totally belonged here and this wasn't all weird.

"Doesn't that hurt?" Kaylin asked, pointing to the navel ring. She'd sort of accepted that the girls here sometimes wore less than even the women who sold sex back home would ever dare. She herself was covered neck to toe in her usual long sleeves and pants.

And okay, so her face looked like she'd gone a few rounds and lost, which she kind of had, but it was for training!

Okay. Did not expect that question at all, let alone from someone who looked like they'd gotten beaten up. This school. What.

"No," Gwen said. "Are you okay?"

"Me?" Kaylin looked startled for a moment. "Oh, right, my face. That's just training, back home. Got my ass handed to me. But I'm assured that it's good for me. In the long run anyway."

"Okay..."

Gwen had no idea what to do with this.

"Well, you know, if you're going to walk a beat you have to be able to protect yourself - and anybody else who might need protecting, right?" Kaylin asked.

"I have no idea what you're talking about," Gwen admitted. "I'm just trying to get settled in here..."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[notamascot]

"Don't you have Police where you're from?" Kaylin asked curiously. "We call them Hawks. Or Swords or Wolves. The people who investigate crimes and stuff? I'm in training to be one. And sometimes..."

Well, her face spoke for itself, she thought.

"My dad was a cop." And the was should probably say everything about why Gwen definitely did not want to talk about that.

And everything else she was saying was just really weird for someone who'd just gotten here.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[notamascot]

Kaylin got it. Right away. And her face became very solemn. "I honor him for his service then. And I'm very sorry."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[stacyexperiment]

"Yeah." Death trauma and more potential death trauma a few days ago and thinking about her dead dad was not really something Gwen was equipped to deal with right now. I'm gonna go over there."

Kaylin just nodded solemnly. "Of course."
