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!]

"It's true," Jalian pointed out. "My timeline is very different from here."

Face remained in palm. "Just out of curiosity, does figurative language or slang exist in your timeline? If not, just tell me now and I'll try to adjust."

Jalian rolled her eyes. "I know what a metaphor is! But it is also true. We have plenty of slang - do you know Silverspeech?"

"Nope. I've never heard of your timeline. But it was a genuine question. I know a guy who talks like a textbook," Johnny said. "He's one of the smartest people in the world - like, it's on record, I think he was number three last year - but he was so busy inventing that he had almost no people skills or anything. Half the time, he had no idea what I was saying, so I either had to be really, really specific or just let him figure it out on his own."

"And he turned out to be an ass, so I have no problem letting him dangle. I don't think you're an ass, so I wanted to check."

Only slightly mollified, Jalian gave him a side-eye. "I speak my own slang. I didn't need to know yours until recently."

"That's fine. I'll try to choose my words more carefully," Johnny said. "But just as a warning, I'm not that smart, so it's going to be tough."

Jalian nodded. "It's important to know your limits. I don't expect much of males," she reassured him. "That fire thing is very..." she searched for the word she'd heard. "...cool? That seems the wrong word. Very interesting, though."
