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

There were tables and chairs set up all around the lawn. Some were in the sun, where folks could soak up that precious vitamin D, and some were in the shade where folks could stay cool.

All of the tables had at least a little glitter on them though. It was a welcoming gesture to get glitter someplace you didn't know glitter could go!

[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!]

Ringo had a similarly-loaded plate, and when she noticed Kira's, she laughed and offered a friendly smile. "It looks like you and I think alike," she said, hoping that the smile and attempt at humor would be a good way to introduce herself.

Because meeting new people was just a bit stressful.

New people were super stressful, which was why Kira appreciated having the chance to meet lots of new folks on one day. "Balance is important," she said with a sage nod before laughing. "Are you one of the new people?"

"Is it obvious?" Ringo asked, blushing slightly looking down at herself wondering what might have given her away.

She was still wearing a nametag from meeting up with her roommate, but so were any other number of random people around the picnic.

Well, okay, so most of them had taken theirs off by now, but still!

"This place isn't that big," Kira explained. "Even if I don't know everyone's name, I know which people have been here for a while, and which people haven't. I was hoping you weren't someone I've just missed for the last few months. I'm Kira, by the way, it's nice to meet you."

Ringo smiled. "I'm Ringo Nonayamo," she responded, bowing at the waist. "It's nice to meet you, too."

She straightened up and nodded. "And I suppose that makes sense. I look out and see nothing but new people, but I guess most of them are only new to me."

"Did you have a good time getting here?" Kira asked. "I know the shuttle is kind of... questionably safe."

"I ended up getting in too late for it, so I had to take a cab." Ringo smiled. "Did I totally luck out with that?" She hadn't heard anything about the shuttle, other than that it had been an option if she'd made it in earlier.

Kira's eyes got wide and she nodded emphatically. "You did, you totally did. They don't exactly send teachers with the best driving records? I mean, there's not a lot of space to practice around here since we can't drive, but still. You were probably a lot safer with the cab. And hey, you knew where you were going, so that's a plus too."

Ringo's shoulders probably would have slumped a bit in relief if she'd actually realized she should have been stressed about the shuttle thing, but since she hadn't, she just shook her head ruefully. "Guess I lucked out."

After a moment more, she let out a soft snort of amusement. "In more ways than one," she added, "since I heard that some people just end up here without planning on it." Which was very, very weird, by the way.

"Did that happen to you?" Ringo said, looking suddenly worried as she realized that might have sounded dismissive.
