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

[bigdamnprincipal]

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!]

The key to making it fun was to have your bestest friends along with you! Also to be from a children's cartoon show.

"What do you like to do with your friends?"

Oh, oh! That one was easy! "AirTrek!" she declared. Then remembered that those apparently weren't a common thing here.

"Um... I can show you, if you like?"

"Sure! It sounds like loads of fun!" And also probably something a pegasus was better prepared for than an earth pony, but Pinkie had never let that stop her.

Ringo swung her backpack from her shoulders, set it down, and opened it to pull up a pair of... well, they looked an awful lot like inline skates, but with only two wheels each. "AirTrek!" she declared excitedly.

Though it suddenly struck her that they probably wouldn't be especially useful to Pinkie Pie so maybe Pinkie Pie would not be as excited about them.

Pinkie was excited by her excitement. "Ooo neato! We call those 'rollerskates'."

Re: Mingling and Such [Summer 2015]

"No, no," Ringo said. Then paused. "Well, I guess they're kind of similar? But ATs are way better." She held one of them up, and reached up to spin the back wheel. "These have miniaturized motors in the wheels, so you can go faster, farther, and higher than you can with a pair of roller skates."

Speaking of violating the laws of physics, Ringo had once skipped through the air on a carpet of paper airplanes.

"Higher wouldn't bee too hard. You can't go very high on rollerskates at all."

Re: Mingling and Such [Summer 2015]

[soniaroadsqueen]

Ringo laughed. "That's true. And you don't really have the momentum to jump from too high, either." Whereas Ringo had once used ATs to ride down a space elevator. As you do.

"Do you think you can show me how they work?" Pinkie asked. "It'd be neato to see you use 'em!"

Re: Mingling and Such [Summer 2015]

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Could I?" Ringo's smile was almost impossibly huge at that question. Then, just in case her expression didn't make her answer obvious, she nodded. "Yes!" Please!

"Though," she looked down, "grass isn't the best surface to use them on." In that way, they were like skates.

Re: Mingling and Such [Summer 2015]

[locointhecoco]

"Hmmm," Pinkie hummed. "There's a boardwalk in town. Maybe we could meet up there later and you can show me, then!"

Re: Mingling and Such [Summer 2015]

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Oh, sure! That should work!" They might even have some good rails to ride there!

Re: Mingling and Such [Summer 2015]

[locointhecoco]

And once she got the momentum built, just think of what she could do on all the stairs.

"Yay! It's a plan!"

Re: Mingling and Such [Summer 2015]

[soniaroadsqueen]

Yes, stairs! Stairs were great!

Ringo beamed at Pinkie Pie. "A great plan," she agreed excitedly.
