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!]

Alluka liked pretty much everything too, when it meant she got to do things.

"Yay! Thank you!"

She tried very hard to be careful as she went to give Foucault a hug.

Foucault fluffed his feathers and put his head over her shoulder, honking happily again. And started preening her hair.

"Hold on!" Cecil said. "I'll get a picture!"

Re: Mingling and Such [Summer 2015]

[that_oldsaying]

She giggled at the feeling of Foucault's beak in her hair.

"Okay!" Alluka said happily. She could wait.

She was good at waiting.

Cecil pulled out his phone and snapped a picture, snickering a bit himself at the adorable picture they made. "Here, look! What do you think?" He turned it so she could see.

Re: Mingling and Such [Summer 2015]

[that_oldsaying]

She had to let go of Foucault to get a proper look at the picture, but when she did, she laughed.

"We look silly!"

Re: Mingling and Such [Summer 2015]

[voiceoverdue]

"You look adorable!" Cecil protested, grinning. "And a little silly, but most everything Foucault does looks a little silly." He rubbed his head fondly.

Re: Mingling and Such [Summer 2015]

"I like him," Alluka shared. "And you too!"

Cecil was nice and not scary, she'd decided.

Re: Mingling and Such [Summer 2015]

[voiceoverdue]

"Thank you!" Cecil grinned. "You're pretty sweet yourself. Do you hug people, too, or just birds?"

Re: Mingling and Such [Summer 2015]

[that_oldsaying]

Her eyes went big.

"I can hug people too!"

Did he want a hug? She could totally give him a hug!

Re: Mingling and Such [Summer 2015]

[voiceoverdue]

"Yay!" Cecil held out his arms for a careful hug. She seemed a lot younger than she was, and he didn't think it was just because he was much older than he was, so he was going to let her do the hugging and not startle her or anything.

Re: Mingling and Such [Summer 2015]

[that_oldsaying]

The hug on her part was definitely not nearly so careful with him as it had been with Foucault, as Alluka went more for what she'd do with Killua.

So it was really more of a glomp than a hug, in that case.

"I'm so happy," she admitted.

Re: Mingling and Such [Summer 2015]

[voiceoverdue]

Glomps were good, too!

"Good!" Cecil told her, hugging back a little more firmly. "Everybody should be happy as often as possible. It's really all we've got against the general angst and horror of life, right?"

Re: Mingling and Such [Summer 2015]

[that_oldsaying]

Alluka didn't really fully parse that but she got the gist of it enough to beam at him.

And his snuggly hugs. She liked that too.

"Yes!" she said. "And because it's more fun."

That was the real reason, Cecil.

Re: Mingling and Such [Summer 2015]

[voiceoverdue]

"Definitely!" Cecil beamed right back. "Hey, have you had any food yet? The food here's pretty good, too."

Re: Mingling and Such [Summer 2015]

[that_oldsaying]

She giggled.

"I had a cupcake, and a bunch of cookies, and some chocolate, and some chocolate-covered strawberries!"

Alluka's dietary choices were delicious, but not that great for her.

Re: Mingling and Such [Summer 2015]

[voiceoverdue]

"Oh, that sounds yummy!" Cecil said. "You should try the sandwiches, though; they're pretty good. Do you eat meat?"

Re: Mingling and Such [Summer 2015]

[that_oldsaying]

"I do," she said, nodding. "I just hadn't gotten to sandwiches today."

Because candy, that's why.

Re: Mingling and Such [Summer 2015]

Cecil grinned and reached for her hand if she wanted. "Come on! I'll show you the best ones."

Re: Mingling and Such [Summer 2015]

[that_oldsaying]

Yay! Someone to hold her hand! She was super pleased about that. So much so.

"Okay!" she said and gave their hands an experimental swing. "Do you like meat?"

[Have fun!]

Re: Mingling and Such [Summer 2015]

[voiceoverdue]

"It depends on what it is, but mostly." Cecil led her over to the table. "Hamburgers can be pretty great." He got a couple plates and handed her one. "And there's all sorts of stuff to put on them, too!"
