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

[bigdamnprincipal]

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!]

"Cooking's safer, and I'm better at acting," Sparkle sighed. "Catch-freaking-twenty-two, right?"

He also enjoyed acting more, but he knew better than to think that having fun doing something was enough to ensure that you'd be able to make a living at it.

"Whatever happens, I mean, I still have a little bit of time to think. I need to figure out just how much of a difference there is between here and home, so I know how much time I have left. But this isn't like the panic zone yet or anything like that."

"There's always one of those," Alana sighed. "I used to want to act, back when I was a kid. Don't know if I'm really good enough to make a living at it, but if I could pick any job..."

She laughed at herself a bit as she trailed off. "Probably I'll end up taking a computers course or something, 'cause it's safe."

"Safe is smart and those are the options, right?" Sparkle smirked a little. "Miserable or poor, that's how it usually is. Fuck, maybe one of us'll luck out, in the end. Who knows? I think we deserve some friggin' happiness, like, it isn't like after this place we haven't earned it, right?"

"Hell, make it some happiness for both of us and I'd drink to that," Alana agreed. "... if I had a drink. Okay, so I'll eat an orange to that."

She held up a slice of orange like a cup for toasting.

And Sparkle... he held up a finger, and gave a grin, and then reached into his bag and pulled out a flask.

"Come on, you really think you have to settle for oranges when you're in my company." He held it out to her. "Vodka. Because your student council president is a horrible fucking influence, and what are they going to do? Fire me?"

"I knew I voted for you for a reason," Alana said. (And no, that reason wasn't just that Sparkle had been the only candidate.)

She knocked back a healthy swig of the vodka, then coughed discreetly into her fist -- it had been a while since she had straight liquor,and the burn of it surprised her -- before passing the flask back. "Do you always bring one of those to these shindigs?"

"Usually," Sparkle replied, shrugging and knocking back a mouthful, too. "I mean, I'd spike the punch with it, but alcohol isn't cheap enough for me to share with everyone. I limit myself to people I actually like, these days, and special occasions."

"And this probably counts as both," Alana noted. "I feel awesome now."

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2015]

[myownface]

"And you should," Sparkle decreed, taking another swig and holding up the flask again in case she wanted more. "I mean, I don't like a hell of a lot of people."

Most people sucked!

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2015]

"Most people are pretty awful," Alana decided, taking a second, smaller sip. "But not you. Or me. We should celebrate that."

"Drinking to being kickass, then. Sounds good to me." Sparkle cackled, even gave his hands a little clap. "Shit, that is, like, miles better than some of the shit I've decided to drink to. I have to drink to that one more often."
