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!]

"Me too," Kathy said, fiddling with her hair. "There're a lot of different ways you can do that on this island."

You know. Like running around Baltimore in a costume busting criminals. As a random example.

Totally random.

Ringo's smile warmed, and she began nodding, slowly at first, but then more quickly. "I think I'll have to see where I might be able to help." Because it sounded fun. And, well, just nice.

"There's a branch of the Wayne Foundation on the island, if you're thinking of getting a job," Kathy said, mirroring Ringo's smile. "It's a huge charity organization. Even if you don't want to work there, they might have ideas of places nearby you can volunteer."

"So, what would I do?" Ringo asked, frowning thoughtfully. "Just walk in and ask them to help me help people?" Maybe it really was that easy!

Kathy's smile grew a little broader. "Sounds about right," she said. "It's not really all that complicated around here. I don't know anyone who actually had to apply for jobs or anything. It's usually as simple as someone saying they need help and someone else offering to do so."

"I can probably manage that," Ringo decided with a little laugh. Her own smile was broad and bright. "Thank you for the idea, Kathy."

"Anytime," Kathy said. "And I'm serious about stopping by anytime you'd like, okay?" Just to make sure Ringo didn't think she'd just been offering out of politeness, or whatever. "You have a great rest of your picnic, Ringo. And welcome again to Fandom!"

"Then I will stop by," Ringo said with a grateful smile. "And," her eyes darted downward awkwardly, "if you want to stop by my room," as if there was any reason to do so given Ringo's inexperience, "you can."

"Thank you." And there was another of those polite bows.

Pffft, you didn't need experience to become friends! "I'll do that," Kathy said, flashing Ringo a V-sign. "If nothing else, I'll want to hear about how you settled in after your first week!"

Ringo giggled and grinned. "Okay!"

She really liked the sound of that.
