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

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!]

"So there are alternate universes here, too, and everyone wonders why I drink so much," Frank said. After a moment's consideration, he amended that statement."Sorry, how I drink so much. I suppose that is a different question."

"Well, most people I know would fall over if they had more than a few of the drinks you pour," Raven said. She'd been nursing her own drink. "Maybe you're a mutant yourself and just didn't know it. The mutant power to process hard liquor."

"I wouldn't rule out anything. Mostly because doing that would require too much research that I have no interest in taking on," Frank said.

"Fair enough," Raven decided. "Though I think you're going to get rather a lot more people wondering about your alcohol tolerance."

"Fortunately, I'll have had too much to drink to care," Frank said, raising his glass again and downing it. "It really is a cure all."

"You must be the life of the party."

"I would be if I enjoyed parties," Frank said. "But they just have so many people."

"Not a fan of people? You're starting to sound a bit sad."

"Just because I have a series of unspecified tragedies in my past - both recent and distant - don't enjoy the company of people outside a few notable exceptions and enjoy my share of liquor - which is a very generous share - doesn't mean I'm sad," Frank said encouragingly. "In fact, few things could make me happier than those drinks."

He certainly sounded happy talking about liquor.

In Raven's genre, that combination equaled deep brooding and probable vigilantism. "Well, if you're sure."

Raven was not sure.

In Frank's case it meant all the possible love he could have for a person being saved up, and also monster fighting. So almost the same thing, with more alcohol jokes. "I'm always as sure as possible whenever I say anything."

It was a basically meaningless sentence, but in fairness, he was many sheets to a quite strong wind by now. The fact that it was coherent and only meaningless upon analysis should be impressive.

It really, really was.

"Good luck, then," Raven said, raising her drink. "And you can come find me if you need anything." A beat. "Other than late night liquor delivery."

"Will do. Now I just need to find my room so I can put some of this stuff away," Frank said. "But don't worry, I'll be back for the rest of the picnic."

"Even with so many people hanging around?"

"I'll be bringing a few bottles down with me to keep me company," Frank said with a certain joy in his voice. He knew exactly which ones were coming down with him.

"Try not to be too obvious about it. The teachers might not understand."

"I'll see what I can do," said Frank, who would not.
