fandomhigh | Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part I

The forecast for today might have called for rain, but thankfully, there was no sign of bad precipitation in Fandom. The weather was bright and sunny, but still a bit chilly, so the first thing people might have noticed when they arrived was the bonfire set up in the middle of the lawn. There were tables and chairs scattered around the bonfire, some a safer distance away than others, and each table had been graced with a good portion of gold and blue glitter because the glitter supply was never, ever going to run out and certain people in the administration had just come to terms with that.

There were tables of ~~moddable~~ food and drinks, complete with the ingredients to make s'mores, as well as name tags and the lists of Big Siblings and roommates. It was time to welcome some new people!

[OCD is up! This is part one of the picnic, specifically for meeting siblings, roommates, and teachers. The rest of the picnic is happening here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"Just something different to do with my time," Hatter said, shrugging. "Figured why not, right? If I'm going to be away from home, I figure I'll get some new experiences to go along with it."

Plus, the look on Alice's face when he told her would be terrific.

"New experiences are always good." Hannibal nodded. "And you're teaching business?" He'd read the roster in advance this time.

"Yes," Hatter answered. "Perhaps not a traditional business course but I've managed to run a tea shop back home and here without any issues so I figure I'm qualified enough."

"Certainly more qualified than some we've had." Pam. Cheryl. "I hope you enjoy it."

"I'm sure I will," Hatter replied. "What are you teaching this go time around? Something to do with cooking?"

"Baking," Hannibal confirmed. "I thought I might try something new."

"Have you found many decent cooks among the students?" he wondered curiously.

"Most of them are fairly decent," Hannibal allowed. "Only a few show real promise, but then I've also only known a few I wanted to keep a fire extinguisher nearby for."

"Have you made them cook for you as of yet?" Hatter wondered. "Giving them the world's most discerning judge?"

"That is generally their final," Hannibal answered. "What better way to tell if they've learned what I've taught them?"

"So, what happens if they make something really bad?" Hatter wondered. "Do you choke it down?"

"I stop eating it. And I hope they never take the class again," Hannibal confided. "Still, most of them can at least manage something palatable."

Which, granted, he had a wider definition of than most.

"You're kinder than I'd be." That probably wasn't true. "But, I'm no cook at all so I'd probably be one to serve something horrible and get an absolute death glare for it."

"And yet you've managed to feed yourself for these years," Hannibal pointed out.

"That's what things like take out and sandwiches are for," he replied. "You can't go wrong with food like that."

"Well, at least it isn't Pop Tarts, I suppose." Hannibal shook his head.

"I don't think I even know what those are," Hatter admitted. "Do tell."

Because now he wanted to eat one in front of Hannibal.

Mm-hm. "If you want to find out, you'll have to ask Sparkle," Hannibal said. He had a good idea of what you had in mind, Hatter, and he wasn't about to help that much.

"Well, you're no fun," Hatter told him, shaking his head. "Don't worry, I'll find out sooner than later and then we can have a chat about Pop Tarts."

"If you do find them, you may want to read the ingredients before eating any," Hannibal said wryly.
