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!]

"I don't think most people around here could agree on a definition of 'normal' if you got them all into the same room and asked them to," Elsa replied. "What's normal where you're from?"

"Well, at a normal school, math, English, history, that kind of stuff," Johnny said. "But I'm from a family of science supergeniuses, so my tutors been more science-heavy."

"Not so many about spying and destiny."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

Oh, Johnny.

"Did you sign up for either of those? I'm in the destiny class, myself. I know the teacher, sort of. The spying class..."

Well. Pam and Cheryl.

"... I didn't have room on my timetable for that one."

Yeeees. Yes, that was the reason.

"Nope. I don't care much about destiny and why would I want to be a spy and not show off what I can do?" Johnny asked. "I'm in Meditation, History, Heroic Tales since I think I know that teacher, and the Sex class." Big surprise there.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

And there went Elsa, blushing again.

"If you're thinking of Thor, with the hammer and the lightning, then you're probably right," she offered, nodding her confirmation about Heroic tales. "And I'm in the Sex class, too. As well as Gourmet Cooking and Terrain."

So, really, the only class that made any sense at all for her schedule was, in fact, the destiny one. She even sounded a little baffled as she listed off the rest of her schedule.

"Yeah, but I'm not sure he's the one I know. Alternate realities and all," Johnny said. "You've got an intersting schedule. I just picked th stuff that sounded easy or I was interested in." Like sex. Again, shock.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

"I picked... Destiny. I have no idea how I wound up in these other classes. I wanted creative writing or history, honestly."

She kind of blamed the moose.

"That sort of thing happens pretty often around here, though."

"Good to know," Johnny said. "Well, if you ever need a study partner to help you get through the dating class, I'm available." See how he changed to the second word in the sex class's name? That's because he was a damn gentleman.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

Elsa appreciated that! She appreciated that so much that she actually laughed a little, covering her mouth with one hand as she did so.

"I appreciate the offer, and I'll keep it in mind," she replied, nodding over to where Barry was sitting. "But I'm pretty sure Barry and I have the dating part covered."

And while they could both use a bit of improvement in the sex and self-confidence categories, they weren't in any hurry to do anything about the first, and the second was a work in progress.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

"Well, if anything changes, keep me in mind. Fire and ice, could be a fun combo," Johnny said. He took rejection in stride. He was probably more fun than that Barry guy, though.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[iceolatedqueen.livejournal.com]

Well, he was probably less likely to get stabbed in the behind with a syringe wielded by an angry gremlin, at least.

"There's a joke about steam in there that I'm not even going to attempt to make," Elsa noted, smiling wryly. "But all of that aside, welcome to the island, and if you need any help finding anything or you have any questions about the place, feel free to ask."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[ultimatehottie.livejournal.com]

"It would get pretty steamy," Johnny said, attempting and succeeding with the joke. "Anyway, you're officially on the list of people to check in with. Thanks for being so welcoming."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

She was probably never going to stop blushing. Elsa could live to be an old woman and die happy in her own bed seventy years from now and she'd still have a blush on her face, she was sure of it.

"Of course," she replied. "The island's usually pretty okay, but it can get a little overwhelming from time to time. Knowing that there's somebody around who's been here for a while helps, sometimes."

"I think I should be able to survive most of it. I've already seen and done a ton of things that people here seem surprised by, so I think I'm pretty well equipped to deal with pretty much anything but boyfriends," Johnny joked.

"You say that now," Elsa replied, "but nobody's ever really prepared when they wake up on a Monday morning, look back over the events of the entire weekend, and then have to ask themselves, 'did any of that actually count, since I wasn't actually in my right mind at the time?'"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[ultimatehottie.livejournal.com]

"You say it like I haven't experienced that," Johnny said. And then he wriggled his eyebrows suggestively. He was just trying to make her blush more now. It was fun.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[iceolatedqueen.livejournal.com]

Johnny was incorrigible. At this rate, Elsa was going to be crawling to hide under a picnic table or something in no time.

"Suddenly and inexplicably spending several days in a row thinking that you're from a time and place where everything is in grayscale and it's perfectly acceptable for a man to call a woman 'Doll,'" she attempted. "Or losing your powers for a while only to find that you're exceptionally talented, all of a sudden, at macrame. That's a little more like what I had in mind. Although I'm certain your own personal experiences are-" she ducked her head a bit as her cheeks went a little more pink, "-interesting, too."

"Well, that's a little different than what I was thinking. But one time I went into the past with my friends to rewrite history when one of those friends came back from the new future to stop us, so trust me, I've seen things," Johnny said. "For the record, the friend from the future got eaten by giant flying spiders that guard the timeline. So don't mess with time travel."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[iceolatedqueen.livejournal.com]

"I... will have to keep that in mind," Elsa decided, eyes going wide. She wasn't going to dismiss talk of time travel out of hand, after all. Not after the insanity that had gone on in the spring. "As far as I can tell, timelines only occasionally manage to break themselves, here. No giant flying spiders yet. Not that I'm aware of."

"If it ever comes up, never touch a past or future version of yourself, just to be safe. That's about all the advice I can possibly give on the subject," Johnny said. "Oh, and don't take microbrewing tips from a zombie version of yourself. It does not go well."

"Like I said, I think I'm ready for whatever comes my way here. It can't be worse than what I've already been through."

He'd probably change his mind about that the first time he woke up looking like a younger Sue.
