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!]

"Friends of yours back home?" Bob asked.

"Teela is my friend," Kaylin explained. "Marcus is my sergeant."

"Oh, well." Bob shrugged. "Sergeants don't like anyone. I think it's a job requirement."

"He doesn't like the nobles, either," Kaylin admitted. "But he's actually a very nice person. His roar is worse than his bite. I think."

"His roar?" Bob asked. "His bark we'd say here," he explained.

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2015]

[notamascot]

Kaylin looked puzzled. "No. His roar. He's a Leontine. Kind of like... a people version of one of your lions. He roars, trust me."

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2015]

"Ah, I see!" Bob grinned. "Fascinating. And I guess he would be rather intimidating, wouldn't he?"

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2015]

[notamascot]

"Oh yes!" Kaylin agreed with a grin. "He sure can be!"

"So leontines are lion-like, and aerians have wings - what other races have you got? What are barrani?" Bob asked.

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2015]

[notamascot]

"Barrani and tall and immortal and they have long dark hair and they're all perfect and the same." Kayla looked up at him. "No, seriously. They are. The only way I could tell Tain from the others with the Hawks was because he had a chip in one tooth. I'm a little better now, but it's hard."

"There are humans, of course, and the Tha'alani." She turned her head and spit on the ground. "They have antenna and they can steal your thoughts and your everything right out of your head."

Kaylin might have some issues with the Tha'alani.

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2015]

[nuclear_snide]

"Not a favourite, I take it." Bob smirked at the understatement. "Does everybody hate them, or just you?"

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2015]

[notamascot]

"Everyone smart should," Kaylin said bitterly. "Most humans are afraid of them."

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2015]

[nuclear_snide]

"What do they do?" Bob asked. "I mean, they can steal your thoughts, but do they? Do they blackmail people or embarrass them at parties?"

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2015]

[notamascot]

"I don't know anybody who'd invite them to a party!" The expression of horror on Kaylin's face made her thoughts on that perfectly clear.

Kaylin might be rather fervid in her hatred for the Tha'alani. She had reasons. Not really good reasons, but reasons.

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2015]

"Are they rude or just boring?" Bob asked.

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2015]

[notamascot]

"I think they're..." she couldn't think of a word bad enough for them. "It's, it's like an assault. That they can just go into your mind and take the deepest secrets you have. Even if you fight them."
