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!]

Jalian thought about it and shrugged. "There were around twenty males in my age grouping; there are probably eight now." They'd lost a lot of the field workers in the Battle of the Meadow. "I know three?"

"Just know by name and face?" Kathy asked. "Or know them well enough to be considered friends? Or, heck, know them well enough to respect as a person?"

Jalian threw up her hands. "I know what games they liked as children! Why should I know them better than their sisters?"

Jalian didn't exactly hang out with the rest of her clan much.

Kathy was starting to get that idea.

"Because you don't treat their sisters like second-class citizens," she pointed out. "Because I bet you think of them as individuals, but lump all their brothers together. And that's wrong."

This debate was making Kathy's stomach ache; she hated confrontation. But she wasn't going to back down. There was still a lot of Social Justice Warrior in Banzai.

If it helped that stomachache at all, Jalian wasn't angry, just a bit exasperated. "The ones I don't know well, how else should I think of them but as one?" she asked. "The same with girls and with elder Huntresses and Corvichi I don't know. I know them all by sight and I know their names."

"The difference is how you think of them, compared to the girls and the elder Huntresses and the...Corvids?" Kathy stumbled over the unfamiliar term. "How should males be treated if they disrespect you? How should females? Why the difference?"

"Corvichi," Jalian corrected. She shrugged. "A male I would thump; a female I would challenge. You can't challenge a male; it wouldn't be fair."

All things told, the men were less likely to get stabbed or dead from it, so...win?
