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!]

Too bad the face-stuffing reminded some people of their best friends, so at least on this one occasion, it just drew more social interaction. She could blame Ava.

"Goodness, did they starve you where you were before?" Ezra noted in a lightly amused tone, with a smile.

Amy swallowed the bite of shrimp she was still working on. "It's actually a quality of food thing?" she explained when her mouth wasn't full anymore. "I'm from Texas, so there are only really three or four things people can make really well. Shrimp that was in an ocean during my lifetime? Totally new to me."

Her mouth quirked up in what was part of the way to a smile. "Hi, I'm Amy."

"Ezra," he replied, nodding. "Hello, Amy." And he smiled again –– okay, he hadn't actually stopped. It came naturally like breathing. "Apart from appreciation of east coast seafood, can I ask for your first impression of this place?"

"Pretty weird," she said at once. "Not awful, though. People seem nice."

She couldn't help smiling back. His smile made it hard not to, and he seemed like a direct enough guy, which made conversation easier.

"How about you? Are you new too? I don't think I saw you on the bus."

"I wasn't on it," Ezra replied easily. "I had private transportation." Where he had thoroughly annoyed his driver the entire way over, everyone could rest assured. "Did I miss anything? A flat tire? An amusing singalong?"

"There was a teacher whose face was on fire," Amy offered. "And a girl who waved a sword at everyone. I'm guessing she's a theater kid."

Which basically amounted to: "You didn't miss much."
smilestopscars: ([pos] guess this is happening)

Some might have considered it alarming how normal both of those things sounded to Ezra. But normal was really relative, that wasn't his fault.

"Doesn't sound like it, no," he agreed. "And besides, you're here now, so I'm already making up for all the actually important things I missed."
princessarcasm: (huh)

Oh, and now you'd gone and made her blush, Ezra. Thanks for that.

"Wh - me?" Yes, obviously. "Oh, um, you know, I think the guy who was on fire was actually higher up there, importance-wise."

Guess who had never been casually flirted with before!

"You also missed a girl who had never seen cell phones before," she added. "That was weird."
smilestopscars: ([neu] your fave)

"Well, hipsters do the darndest things." Because that would somehow excuse not having seen a cellphone, sure. "And I've seen people on fire before."

Since his best friend tended to make that happen.

"No, I think my scale of importance was exactly right."
princessarcasm: (flirt lean)

"...Oh." Amy ducked, thinking that might conceal some of the blushing. And she paused. The flattery made it hard to think!

"Well... when did you see people on fire before?"

Amy didn't have the faintest idea how to flirt, it turned out. She didn't even know if she wanted to.

"Occupational hazard." Go on, ask him what he did for a living. There wasn't going to be a straight answer. "It gets less impressive with each time."
