Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part I

[bigdamnprincipal]

Everyone might have been getting ready for the fall semester, but it was definitely still summertime in Fandom. The temperature was high, the wind was low, and it was only going to get hotter once everyone arrived.

There were chairs and tables set out around the lawn, some in shady spots and some out in the sun, and there was a long table of moddable food culminating in a table full of ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sorbet choices. There were also stacks of nametags for people to label themselves with, and lists to help folks find their siblings and roommates. With everything in order, it was time to welcome some new people!

[OCD is up! This is part one of the picnic, specifically for meeting siblings, roommates, and teachers. The rest of the picnic is happening here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"It was pretty much a whim," Didi admitted. "I like talking to people, and not too many kids wander into the bar. So I figured, if I taught, it'd help me get to know a whole bunch of people. Why did you make the switch?"

"Bored, mostly," Hardison admitted. "I ain't never been much for not doin' a whole lot. Contrary to what my partners say, even I have a limit to how much time I can spend in front of a computer. So I figured what the heck, I'd give it a shot, since apparently they weren't lookin' for actual qualifications."

Which he could have forged, sure, but that would have felt weird. You didn't con your crew and since they were here, Fandom was kind of an extended crew.

"It was a pretty easy job to get," Didi agreed. "I guess the school just gets the people it needs. But yeah, getting bored was in there for me, too."

"So why you choose Philosophy of Loss?" Hardison asked. "Not sayin' I think it's out of place for this school. Just curious what made you choose it."

Didi shrugged. "It's just something I think about a lot,"she said. "It's kind of a risk of being who I am."

"Uhhh...goth?" Hardison hazarded.

"Something like that," Didi said lightly.

Sorry, Didi; 'physical manifestation of Death' didn't jump to the forefront of Hardison's mind. He hadn't been on island nearly long enough for something like that to be his go-to.

"You wear the look well," he told her, sincere. Half the time, he dressed pretty skater-punk without ever having been on a board, so Didi got points for being authentic as well. "I like the ankh. S'a cool touch."
