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 work on their tan while they ate, and some were in the shade where folks could stay cool and non-crispy.

All of the tables had some blue and gold glitter scattered across them, because there was always enough to go around. This school certainly was blesesed in all the right ways.

[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!]

Om nom nom food.

Please don't mind the pink pony busily scarfing down cupcakes by the food table. She was making sure there were still plenty for everypony else! Mostly by pulling more brightly decorated cupcakes out of a seemingly bottomless saddle bag when the plate started to look empty.

Lottie had not quite felt qualified yet to take on big sister-hood on her own -- even fake big sisterhood through a school program -- so she was out in the general crowd, sitting inappropriately on the top of a picnic table, feet swinging in the air, while Pepper investigated a stick underneath it. She was using her keen mystery solving skills to determine what cliques any newly arriving students would belong to.

"American schools are meant to have cheerleadin cliques, I think," she remarked to Pepper. "Do they have cheerleadin here? Or sports in gen'ral?"

Once her sibling program duties were taken care of, Raven made her way to a nice sunny spot and shifted into something a little more revealing. Since she'd promised Kathy solidarity, and all.

Besides, it was much easier to convince the new boys to remove their shirts if you were willing to show some skin as well.

Staying in the shade wasn't even an option. At times, Kathy was a California girl through and through, and the last major school event before it started getting chilly was definitely one of those times. Kathy was determined to stay out in the sunshine for as long as possible. Granted, she was going to end up with some ridiculous tan lines because of it, but that's why sunblock was invented.

After filling up a plate with more food than was reasonable, Kathy picked out a decent spot to nosh and wave to people.

So not only was nobody going to throw him out, somebody had actually gotten Dante a place to crash. He'd be happily confused about it if he didn't suspect something more was going on.

But you know what?

He was still exhausted off of healing his injuries from the last place he'd been staying at, the weather was nice, and there was free food. He'd deal with whatever was trying to screw with him later, when it tried to screw with him.

He grabbed a giant plate full of burgers, took off his coat and put it aside, and stretched out against a tree in the sun. Not bad.

Xanthippe was uncomfortable with just about all of this. And when Xanthippe was uncomfortable, she tended to get annoyed.

So she ignored the food, and found a tree to sit underneath. With her phone in her hands because of course.

Somewhere, in a tucked-away corner of the park, hidden from view, a portal appeared.

It did not remain long: just long enough to spit out a harried-looking Cassandra in full armor. She stumbled, but did not fall; once she had righted herself, she reached up and took off the helmet.

Well. At least this had worked.

It was sunny. There was food.

And so there was an Edward, draped over the branch of a tree, a hamburger in his hands. He had little to complain about.

Ezra was shirtless. Even if that icon was currently out of use. He'd totally heard that was a tradition. Or, possibly not. He might've just had the idea independently.

Either way, his shirt was slung over his shoulder in a casual fashion, now that he was just roaming the crowd with a drink in his hand and a smile on his face. You were welcome, guy-fanciers of the school.

Dipper settled down at a spot where he could note any new comers to the island and take notes while simultaneously partaking of the giant plates of food he had in front of him.

Yes, he was nerdily taking notes on people during newbie day.

Isabela took up a spot near the food to watch people.

There seemed to be a regrettable lack of proper drink though.

Face was glittery and shirtless as he wandered the picnic.

Because the squirrels had asked him to, again.

Well, free food couldn't be faulted. Even if this whole set up was in no way on the level, Eggsy was going to get a good meal out of it.

He took a seat to get a better idea of just who he was supposed to learn with.

It was new prospect day.

That thought immediately invaded Jasper's mind and he had to hurriedly push it away before it burrowed into his brain and made itself at home. He didn't need to think of anyone like that.

People are real. People matter.

He grabbed some water and stayed out of the way though his eyes were alert, scanning, looking. Maybe he wasn't actively thinking of people as prospects but he was definitely observing them like they were.

Alex had decided to come down to the picnic for a while and had helped herself to some food as she had a look round.

With yet another attempt at leaving a failure, Thorin found himself returning to the picnic in the off chance someone from home may have arrived for him. Which wasn't nearly as likely as he'd want. But still.

Hope springs eternal.

Instead, he took a seat and tried very hard not to sigh at the strange need for shirtlessness among the men.

A girl and her pig were absolutely going to peruse the contents of the picnic table, yes! In fact, Mabel was preparing two plates; one for herself, and the other for Waddles, who was trailing along behind her, watching what she was doing with keen piggy interest.

"One cucumber sandwich for me, one cucumber sandwich for Waddles! One big handful of Cheese Boodles for me! And one for Waddles!"

It was only fair.

With little else to do, Bellamy decided to check out this picnic thing because why the hell not? They were advertising free food and maybe it'd be fun to sit back and laugh at some of the children.

Or maybe he'd be reminded acutely of Octavia which would just make him grouchy. It really was a crapshoot. But, he was cleaned up and awake, drink in one hand while he walked idly along the fringes of the crowd.

Elsa only looked mildly uncomfortable as she made her way to the school grounds for the picnic. She didn't have to attend, she knew, but she'd been away for a few months now, and, after bidding a... mostly just awkward farewell to her sister, she was mostly just hoping she'd spot a familiar face or two so that she could get back into the swing of being around people again.

She'd have to make her way into town to find Barry at some point, too. For now she was content to stand a little off to the side, looking incredibly put-together, wondering if maybe she should have brought Canute to the picnic after all. Even if he had gotten so big he'd knock over anybody he had a mind to jump up on.

This was Anders' fourth or so Welcome Picnic, though it seemed like so many more. By now, it was almost routine: Take too much food, find a place by the trees to sit, and watch for anybody who was attractive, looked as though they might have heard of Thedas, or both.

Alluka had on her party dress, was clutching her stuffed bunny in her arms, and was wandering around excitedly.

It wasn't quite as thrilling as the last picnic, since that had been hers, but it was pretty exciting at the same time.

She started off trying to spot the new people but quickly got distracted by nibbling on the food. Delicious, delicious food.

And enough chocolate to sink a ship. Sorry not sorry, Kathy.

Frank found an empty spot at the food table where he could set up his own personal drink stand. He did some math in his head, set up a few bottles, placed a few glasses next to them, and gazed around thoughtfully.

"If I pace myself, this might just barely get me through this picnic," he declared before pouring a second glass. Yes, he already finished his first. He was PACING HIMSELF.

Another picnic rolling around was a harsh reminder of how long Clarke had actually been stuck here. It was kind of hard to enjoy being able to eat as much as she wanted when there was lingering guilt about what was going on back home bothering her.

Didn't stop her from having a plate anyway.
