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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Okay, admittedly, having a picnic at the beginning of January wasn't the best idea the school had ever come up with. Thankfully, the weather was sort of agreeable today - it wasn't too chilly, the sun was out, and there were still pretty pockets of unmelted snow on the lawn.

In the middle of the lawn, a bonfire had been set up for warmth and light--mostly the warmth--and the tables and chairs had been set out to mostly be in the sun. There was a long table with a variety of moddable warm foods, and there was the usual table of nametags and lists to help folks find their siblings and roommates. With everything set up, it was time to welcome the new folks!

[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!]

"I often suggest that people do, though they rarely take me up on that advice to their own detriment," Frank said, raising a toast to himself. He poured the drink at some point, and now he was drinking it at this point.

Man, it was sure nice to have a drunken sage as older sibling. "I think I will take that drink now." It was what people did, right? She couldn't get drunk anyway.

"Unfortunately, that was the last of that bottle," Frank said, putting the bottle down. "Fortunately, I've come prepared!" He reached into the satchel he totally had this whole time and pulled out a new bottle and poured two new glasses before handing one over to Laura.

"To siblings!"

That truly was a rollercoaster of emotions. Disappointment at missing the cue to make nice with her big sib, relief he wouldn't punish his liver any more, incredulity at his statement, surprise at the new bottle, dread because he had a system and finally resignation because she asked for it.

"Impressive." No, really. She was impressed.

"I tend to be, if I say so myself. And since other people are reluctant to say it, it falls on me to do so," Frank said.

In case it wasn't clear, yes, Frank was a little self-confident, to undersell it to a comedically large degree.

"I see." Drinking the drink now. "You are something, alright." That much she was willing to admit.
