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!]

"I am happy to." Hanna handed her another cookie. You were going to get fed a lot, Alluka. "Fandom is a small island. Just the town you see, and the castle and school. We are connected to Maryland by a causeway, though-- it's only a few miles to a much, much larger city called Baltimore, in the state of Maryland. In the United States of America, which is ridiculously large." Being European, Hanna occasionally wondered why they needed four time zones. Really, America. "We are in the Chesapeake Bay, which connects to the Atlantic Ocean, which is marvelous. Did you follow all that?"

As Alluka obediently nibbled on her cookie, she listened to Hanna, her expression slowly getting more and more overwhelmed.

"...No," she admitted. She'd gotten lost a whole bunch of names ago. "But I can try to remember!"

Hanna laughed, but it was a nice laugh. "I'm sorry, I forget to go slower sometimes... Just remember, Fandom. Baltimore is the big city. Atlantic is the ocean. Most of the rest of it doesn't matter for the most part." She cocked her head. "There might be field trips to other places, though. We had a trip on a cruise ship a few months ago. And some of the teachers take their students to other places."

"We get to go other places?!"

Alluka was so happy being here that just that thought was super unreal to her.

"Lots of other places," Hanna promised her. "All kinds. And so many things to do. I think you'll really love it here."

"Do we need permission for all of the places?" Alluka asked.

It would be extremely hard to get permission from her parents and Alluka didn't even want to try.

"I don't think so. At least, not as long as you're with a group or teacher," Hanna amended. "You might want to ask the principal or one of the staff, though. I haven't tried to go anywhere without them." She smiled a little. "Any other questions?... and what is your bunny's name?"
that_oldsaying: (ummmm)

"I'll ask the principal," she said happily, since she had to ask the principal something else already anyway. Alluka hugged her bunny a little tighter. "It's name is a secret."

"It's still nice to meet him too." Hanna smiled lightly. "Maybe you can meet my kitten, later. His name is Velcro."
