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

There were chairs and tables set up all across the lawn; some were by the bonfire, for the people who wanted to be warm and central to everything else at the picnic, and some were set farther away from the action, for the people who wanted more peace and quiet.

There was no escaping the glitter though. Sorry, but not really.

[OCD is up! 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!]

Apparently, this picnic was going to go on for days on end. His phone had gone off a few times during this whole thing and, without even looking, Ronan knew it was Gansey checking in.

Checking to make sure he was still there.

Ronan found himself missing Henriette and Monmouth. He was too far away from the Barns and his mother. His jaw tightened and he squared his shoulders. He'd bail if this thing got much worse.

Maybe. Probably. If he could stop Gansey from finding out.

"Someone looks thrilled to be here."

Go away, Ezra, no one wanted your idle observations.

But he was going to offer them anyway, light in tone, a mug of something warm in his hand.

"You're hilarious," Ronan said, faking a laugh because he knew he looked anything but thrilled. "Where can I learn how to be a comedian like you?"

"The deep, dark underworld," Ezra quipped, nodding sagely before straightening his suit. "It'll cost a pretty penny, but it's worth it in the end."

"Good thing I could really care less about being funny," Ronan said, rolling his eyes and shaking his head. "I'll leave that to you since you're so good at it. Let you have that one good thing."

Ezra held up his hands. "Okay, sweetheart," he said. "I was just initiating conversation."

"Not your sweetheart," he grumbled, almost glaring. "Is everyone here overly social and friendly?"

This time, Ezra only held one hand up.

"I know I am," he said. "Can't speak for everyone else yet, because I haven't been around long enough. But I take it you're not."

"You take it right." Ronan crossed his arms and his posture stiffened, if that was even possible. "I don't see the point. It's all fake words and faker smiles."
smilestopscars: ([neu] but consider this dummy)

"Or it's relating to people and maybe, I don't know, attempting to enjoy yourself?" Ezra suggested, eyeing him like he wasn't sure if he was for real or not. "You know, fun?"

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2015]

"Who said I'm not having fun right now?" Oh, probably everything about your being, Ronan. "I don't look positively thrilled to be here?"
smilestopscars: ([neu] cannot catch me)

"Well, I said you did when I arrived, and you accused me of being hilarious."

Also he looked almost tense enough to break something.

"That's an accusation?" Ronan wondered, raising an eyebrow. "Figured you'd take it as a compliment."

"It's not that bad," Kaylin said. "I didn't want to come here at all, they made me, but it turns out not to be that bad. In case you were wondering."

"I wasn't." He was a lovely young man, wasn't he. "I don't care if it's freaking Disney World. I don't want to be here and that won't change."
notamascot: (Feeling Low)

"I don't know what that place is," Kaylin said with some puzzlement. "Did they force you? They had to threaten me before I'd come."

"Why does it matter?" Ronan asked, shaking his head. "I'm here now. The in between doesn't really matter, does it?"

"Some people think it does," Kaylin said. "The How can sometimes help you figure out how to get out of something you don't want."

"If I don't want it, I'll just leave," Ronan said. Gansey hadn't said he had to stay, just that he had to try. "Simple to get out of it. Easy."

"You're lucky then," Kaylin said a bit glumly. "I have to stay- and pass my classes - if I want to become a Hawk."

Her eyes strayed to the tables. "At least they have lots of good food?"

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2015]

[identity profile] thegreywaren.livejournal.com 2015-01-03 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"If that's the best thing about this place, I'm gonna hate to see the worst, I know it," Ronan answered, glancing at the table. "It's just food."
notamascot: (Schoolwork?)

"Yes, but it's free," Kaylin explained. Silly boy. Didn't he understand that? Of course, free food for someone who went hungry more often than not back home was different from that of most people.

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2015]

Ronan waited for the part where he should start to care about the free food but it didn't come.

"Let me guess, they put that in the brochure for this place to tempt people here," he said, voice dry. "Such a good motivator, after all."
notamascot: (Feeling Low)

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2015]

[personal profile] notamascot 2015-01-03 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
She considered that for a moment. "If I knew what a brochure was I might be able to answer that. But it would be a good thing to mention to someone, I suppose. Might make up for some of the crazy stuff."

"You're not going to give me some presentation on this place too, are you?" Because been there, done that.
