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!]

"Sure," Lottie agreed easily. "Mildred was doin a lot of gloating when she told me, she could've gotten it wrong."

Mildred really likely hadn't gotten it wrong.

For all Kathy knew, in the universe where the members of the Beatles had all been women (and spelled their name properly), the proper terms really could have been comic strings and wormholes.

"If you're curious, the library has a great science section," Kathy offered. "You can explain stuff to Mildred next time."

"That sounds suspiciously like school work."

"Not if no one's assigned it to you and you're doing it for fun!"

This was just the kind of person your big sister was, Lottie. The only person to sign up for extra classes in the summer.

"...And? Books still exist in the summertime, you know."

"I do my best to forget that fact at the last bell of school in the spring."

Kathy sighed. "You'll do well at Fandom, then," she said. "Most of Fandom's classes are kind of a joke."

There were the odd exceptions, but...yeah. Not many.
