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!]

"To go into town?" Minako asked, wrinkling her nose. "No, you just go, whenever. I mean, you might tell your roommate, in case someone comes looking for you? But that's what cell phones and texting are for."

"If you want to go to the mainland, you just walk over the Causeway and get a taxi at the other end. I don't know if there's rules for overnights or anything? I've only done day trips."

That was a lot more freedom than Evie was expecting! Back in CLC, she's only been able to text twice a month on specific days. Here, it sounded like she'd have free access to her phone, the town, and possibly even Baltimore.

The more she learned about this place, the more confused she grew. The people were even more insane than she'd been led to expect, but the facilities were far less strict.

"So, besides shopping, what is there to do around here?" she asked, since Minako seemed willing to share useful information, unlike her 'big sister' who wanted to tell her about aliens and stuff.

"Well, there's the arcade, and Caritas, which is great for karaoke if you don't mind being around people drinking," Minako said, ticking things off on her fingers. "The local theater lets us audition for shows, and that's a ton of fun! There's an onsen - swimsuits required - and that's like a spa. Let's see... the beach, the boardwalk, movie theater, and some places to eat. But it's a pretty small town."

That was more than Sterling had, really. "Wait, all of that is on the island?" Evie sputtered. "And we don't have to earn the right to visit any of it?"

Of all the things she was having difficulty wrapping her head around, that was the biggest one.

"No." Now Minako was giving Evie a Very Concerned Look. "I mean, you might lose your Saturday if you end up in detention for some reason, but I don't remember the last time a teacher gave a detention."

"Your last school must have been super-strict." Minako lit up, giving Evie a bright smile and sticking out her hand. "So, um, welcome to Fandom! Where co-ed living is a normal thing - and that freaked me out at first, not gonna lie - and some of our classes are, ah, different."

"Super-strict doesn't even cover it," Evie said, shaking Minako's hand. This girl seemed normal, so there was no way she'd be mentioning her little stint at the CLC. Ahahahaha, no. "You are so much more useful than my assigned big sister. She didn't tell me ANY of this stuff!"

She was too busy trying to haze Evie by out-crazying her or something.

"That's no good, who's your sibling?" Minako asked, concerned. "I am not above using my StuCo power to remind them to be helpful and not grouch about being assigned a sib."

"This girl named Kaylin," Evie said. "She actually just got a little bit too into the big sibling thing. Though she could haze me by making up the stupidest stories about the island. It's fine, I can handle it."
