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

[bigdamnprincipal]

The last picnic for new arrivals had involved a bonfire, but there was no need for artificial warmth today. The weather outside was sunny, and just breezy enough that no one would roast, hopefully. There were tables and chairs arranged around the lawn, along with a long table of food, drinks, and desserts for anyone who stopped by.

There were stacks of nametags for people to label themselves with, and lists to help folks find their siblings and roommates. With everything in order, 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!]

Jesse was just going to stare for a minute, if you didn't mind, Ezra.

"A...talking pony," he repeated. "And it's real. Let's say I believe you -- why a pony? Are you guys, like, doing freaky genetic experimenting here?" He dropped his voice. "Should I be worried?"

He was only half-kidding, honestly. It would explain how he wasn't at military school, and things like that girl in the purple suit from the bus ride....

"She usually teaches something to do with either baking or friendship, and I don't think she's an experiment. She just... is." He shrugged. "I don't think that's something you need to worry about, although I hear sometimes she shoots glitter out of a cannon."

"Uh huh." Jesse remained skeptical. "The brochure for sure did not mention talking ponies, by the way. Like this place is asking for a lawsuit by not advertising that part."

Or something. It sounded right.

"Okay, no, seriously -- am I on a hidden camera show or something? You guys have to stop rolling if I catch wise, right?"

"Sorry, no," Ezra replied with another shrug. "I would try to lead you into the weird a little more gradually, but the pony is pretty obvious, and she tends to show up to these things. So I'm giving you fair warning, at the risk of sounding completely insane in the process."

"You do sound completely insane, but you know you do, which makes me think you're not." Jesse's brain was starting to hurt. "Okay. So there's a talking pony. What else do I need to know about?"

Because he was pretty sure that a list that started with 'talking pony' was probably kind of a doozy, whether he believed it or not.

"There's deer in the preserve," Ezra said. "They're teal, but they don't talk. Or at least they've never talked to me."

He was a fox, though, so they could've just been wary of him. He didn't know.

"Apart from that, let's go with something very basic: Fandom's kind of an.... interdimensional hub. People here are from all over. And I mean, all over. Space, past, future - you name it, it's probably in the junior class."
