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!]

"New sibling," Kathy said, not as shocked by the idea of eating grubs as someone else might be. Beondegi was made from silkworm larvae after all. "Flick's staying for at least some of the summer, I think. But I've got a new little sister, Charlotte. She's taking everything I tell her pretty much in stride. I guess where she came from is pretty weird, too."

She sat on the bench near Hanna's perch and helped herself to some grapes. "How about you? New roomie? New little? Good classes?"

"No roomie at all." Hanna sighed a little. "Carmilla is gone for a vacation. She might be back in July, so..." No new person sharing her space yet, and she had mixed feelings about that. "I didn't sign up for the Big Sibling program. I still feel... strange, sometimes, about this place." She smiled at Kathy. "Good classes, I think. Even if there weren't any with Pinkie available this time. And I have a cat now."

"No roomie means you can have slumber parties anytime you want without having to worry about inconveniencing anyone, right?" Kathy pointed out encouragingly. "And, yeah, I know what you mean. Sometimes I'm not sure I can answer all the questions about the island. I don't think I signed up for a little until I'd been here a year."

"This is true." Especially for Carmilla, who was occasionally eaten by rose vines from her bed and then spat out again, and had insomnia the rest of the time. "... I never asked. How long have you been here?" Hanna looked curious. "Are you staying for the whole summer?"

That sounded very normal, yes. "All summer, she said. I showed up the summer before my sophomore year and I'll probably stay as long as I can the summer after I graduate. I mean, my parents will want me home for a bit before I move to campus for college, but..."

She really enjoyed the freedom she had here on the island and wasn't looking forward to losing it back under her parents' roof, even for the fun of fighting crime in LA again.

"So what classes did you sign up for? And tell me more about your new cat."

Hanna had so little idea of what 'normal' consisted of, she just accepted everyone's baseline as the average.

"Velcro was Sparkle's. But he couldn't take his kitten to his new home. Too many people who had allergies, he said." She smiled a little shyly. "And he really didn't have a lot of time to ask anyone else, so of course I offered to keep him. So far it's been lovely to have him there... I signed up for, hmm. Miss Adler's class on Friday, about sexuality. The driving class. And something about the apocalypse, on Thursday?"

Might as well be prepared, right?

"Oh, you got Velcro?" That made Kathy feel better, yes. "I know he was worried about what to do with him. That's so good to hear."

She looked a little shame-faced. "I feel like I should have volunteered, but my parents would never let me bring a pet home, so I'd have a little more than a year before I had to do the same thing and that just seemed unfair."

So, yeah, really relieved that Hanna had stepped up for that.

"I'm in Ms. Adler's class, too!" she said. "And driving, because LA public transportation kinda sucks." She hoped they'd be covering motorcycles, too. No reason. "And the post-apocalypse class taught by Mr. Hardison? I didn't sign up for that--" what need did Kathy had for learning to survive an apocalypse? "--but he's really nice. He's dating Ms. Parker and Mr. Spencer. I'm TAing for them this year."
