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

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!]

Do try to make a good first impression, yes?

*does the picnic day salsa*

Edward didn't know what his roommate had been up to these past few days, but it had seemed remarkably quieter in the evenings, which was what he cared about. In fact, this meant that he was in a relentlessly good mood when he got to the picnic that morning, snagging some of the more decadent-looking edibles before collapsing in a seat at the heart of the group.

Karolina had left last week.

It had not put Liara in anything remotely resembling a good mood today. She went to the picnic because it was a part of the necessary social niceties of Fandom - but she perched even further outside of the main area as possible, sipping her water quietly and looking moody.

Sigh. Perhaps she should not have come back.

Evie hadn't heard anything about a dress code for Fandom, so she'd chosen her 'first day of school' outfit the same way she would as if she were still attending Sterling. Sure, she'd been convinced that most of the people here had maybe a nodding acquaintance with sanity at best (and that belief had only been reinforced by most of her conversations so far), but surely there had to be a few people here who could at least pass for normal for the duration of a conversation?

...Anybody?

In the olden days, knights had armor. Evie had a Chloé baby-blue sleeveless dress with the hem no more than four regulation inches above her knees, a pair of black Miu Miu ankle-wrap heels, a Patek Phillippe wristwatch, and her old diamond earrings, which felt both familiar and strange back in her ears after three months without them in the CLC. It didn't matter if there wasn't a single person on this island who would recognize designer clothing or even the names on the tags. She felt like she could handle anything wearing this.

Right now, though, she was trying to handle lunch. How had they managed to get real, proper, Southern barbeque this far north? And how was she supposed to eat it and not get sauce all over her namebrand everything?

Kathy didn't have a younger sibling this time, but she was very, very aware of how intimidating the picnics could be with all the food and glitter and talking pink ponies. So after piling a plate high with food, she staked out a spot at a table where she could keep an eye out for anyone who looked a little lost, confused, or lonely.

And maybe in a few days, she'd realize just how different she was from her first picnic, when the idea of just randomly talking to someone would have made her flail.

After meeting his little sib, Barry settled down in a comfortable spot and was attempting to get caught up on some of his experiments that he should have been taken care of this week. Unfortunately his antics had cost him time and time had in turn ruined some of the results. He'd have to start with scratch with this one... this one... that one. Ugh. What a mess.

Face had found the buffet tables, and while he mightn't recognise specific dishes, finger food was apparently universal, and he was willing to bet that these would be more to a teenage boy's taste than what was served up at holodrama premieres to impress the Imperial elite.

It was a picnic so Emma was doing what she usually did, find one of the food tables off tot he side and start squirreling away anything that'd keep.

Seeing the food was like an oasis in the desert. Travis immediately gravitated towards it and took a few things to eat and drink before going back out and wandering around.

"You're a stupid duuumbass," Sparkle was singing to his cat, Velcro, as he waved around a long piece of grass for the little feline to stalk through the grass. "Are you gonna get it? Huh? Are you? Punk?"

Yeah, he was mostly here for the food. The plate that was piled high on the ground beside him probably attested to that pretty well.

Look, you have a buffet table with chocolate on it, and what you're going to end up with is an Arendelle princess with a plate of carefully arranged fudge and brownies and cookies, attempting to eat them with a fork.

With a fork.

Because it wouldn't do to get any on her gloves, and Elsa wasn't going to be taking those off any time soon, thank you.

Tamsin wasn't school security and technically didn't need to be here, but considering what had happened just a couple of weeks ago-- well, she wanted to know if any of the newbies were going to be a pain in the ass at some point in the future.

Possibly while brainwashed into something evil.

So there she was, standing at the edge of the picnic with a set of sunglasses on and her badge in plain sight. Arms crossed, looking bored and slightly pissed-- her resting face.

Flick had lost count of how many of these picnics he'd been through by now. And it still surprised him that he'd thought he'd go through one and then leave but he was still here.

So, he was going to take advantage by eating some of the free food and enjoying the warm day. He gave passing glances to some of the new kids when he saw them.

After discovering his continued inability to leave the island earlier, Nathan hadn't been in the best of moods during the week. He'd managed to make some progress during his attempts at reading yesterday but nothing that would have him reading novels anytime soon.

He took some time away from that to come down to the picnic, though. It got him outside and also gave him the opportunity to check everyone out, see if there were Hunters of White Witches or even Black Witches around. He assumed they'd all be fain but always safe to check.

Hatter had never been out to one of these so he was definitely going to come out today. What better way to see all the tiny oysters and take advantage of all the free goodies this island offered.

He pushed his hat back and leaned against a tree, taking everything in while he sipped some water.

Johnny had come to the conclusion that no, outside of like one person, he wasn't famous here. Of course, he'd made the point to several people that he was and that he was also a superhero, so there went the possibility of a secret identity.

Well, whatever. He wouldn't do well with one anyway. Instead, he was just going to hang out, enjoy a good old giant orientation picnic, and check out the girls.

Alex had ~~handwavily~~ spent the last week back at Paradise Valley and catching up with her friends there. She had made it back to Fandom late last night, so she decided to spent some time at the picnic and was helping herself to a plate of food.

"So... um. Hi."

Was that Barry looking awkward because he was bat-shit crazy for most of the week?

Yes.

"Lot of fucking chocolate around, huh?"

Awkward.

"There's some, yes," Elsa agreed, delicately slicing a piece of brownie away with the edge of her fork. "It's an impressive assortment, for a school function."

Well, one of them was awkward. Elsa was all about the regal poise, today, wearing a serene smile as she speared the piece of brownie with the fork maybe a little too forcefully before taking a bite.

"Feeling better? You're still yourself after yesterday?"

No honking or random siren sounds, she had noticed.

After meeting his little sibling, Four treated himself with a big slice of chocolate cake and tried to pretend like that amount of food still didn't shock him.

...he wasn't as good at the second part.

"Um. Yep," Barry said scratching the back of his head. He looked and felt totally uncomfortable. "No gummi bears. No rainbows. I can swear as much as I fucking want and I haven't made any noises. I guess."

He took a deep breath.

"I just wanted to apologize. I didn't look for help when I fucking should have and by the time I needed it I was too bat-shit crazy to do anything about it."

Mara got a plate of food to blend in with the rest of the crowd and tried to inconspicuously memorize all the new faces between bites of...something. She didn't recognize anything on the plate but so far nothing had wiggled off of it or made it hard to breathe, so she was considering it a win.

Sometimes, Elsa had her petty moments. They were few and far between, and extremely subtle if they were visible enough to even be noticed, but they were there.

Today's came in the form of taking a few extra seconds to savor this next bite of brownie before replying. Sorry, Barry. You needed to sweat a little more, apparently.

"It won't happen again?"

Please ignore the redhead gawking at you from behind her glass of water, Face. It will be so much less awkward for everyone.
