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!]

"If you show up and give people detention for not listening to him, won't that just undermine his authority even more?" Kathy asked. "It'll look like he needs you to fight his battles for him, won't it?"

Parker was giving Kathy an uncomprehending look. "Why is that bad? I taze anyone who threatens him."

She really wasn't seeing the difference here.

Right. This was Ms. Parker. Kathy was also filing the taser thing away for future reference.

"Well, he doesn't care about earning the respect of the people you normally taze, right? Look at it this way," she said, trying to figure out a scenario Parker would understand. "Who do you respect more? The person who talks a big game but leaves the hard stuff to someone else, or the person who actually does it?"

"No," Parker admitted. "Or else he'd... uh, never mind." You know, trash their bank accounts and send them 5,000 porn magazines.

"Ohhhhhhhh." Ah. Damnit. "Okay, so. He has to do it himself... but his TA can help, right? You'll tell her? Please?"

"I'll talk to her," Kathy promised. "And I'm sure Mr. Hardison won't have a problem. With Raven or the class or whatever. I mean, from the sound of it, everyone will be too busy fighting off...whatever it was the caused the apocalypse. I'm sure he'll be great."

"I think so. And Eliot thinks so. But he could use the reassurance of someone else on his side there, I guess?" Parker looked dubious. "...also I am glad you are still our TA. This summer class is going to be fun."

"I wouldn't miss it!" Kathy said, bouncing a bit. "Besides, Mr. Spencer seemed concerned that I was gonna work myself gray over the summer. Now he knows there's at least one hour a week I'm out having fun in the woods."
