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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Gosh, the summer picnic was so much nicer--and warmer--than the spring one. There were tables and chairs set up in the sun and the shade, and more than enough food for everyone. Hopefully, everyone was up for socializing for a while!

[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!]

General Mingling [Summer 2016]

Sure, meeting people from your own universe is weird, but at least the food is free?

Yeah, Tip was still in the "meeting people from other universes" being weird stage. She grabbed a plate food -- a large plate of food -- and found a spot to tuck in and observe her new fellow classmates.

It was still so weird to see big, impressive, old architecture without giant holes in it.

Cassandra had returned sometime that morning. She did not look pleased - in fact, she was more of a frowning, glowering armored statue than she'd been at previous welcome picnics.

She'd only come back here to spend the last few months with Garik - and perhaps keep an eye on Merrill, though the elf largely seemed to be staying out of trouble ahahaha.

Like a month ago, Dante'd had these magnificent plans of pulling an Ezra or a Face and going shirtless at this particular newbie picnic. Instead, he was sitting in the shadow of a tree, legs outstretched, with a pounding headache.

He was only here for the free food.

And yeah, he was drinking water. Fucking Ada. (He thought, with hungover love.)

Right, so there'd been that locker, and the next thing Tali knew she'd been riding around in a pewter top hat, going around on a giant game board trying to pass go and collect $200 over and over again. The gist of the game had been fairly easy to grasp but there had been some weird house rules in effect and actually playing all the way through it had. Taken. Forever.

. . . and now here she was, wondering when exactly the island had moved, feeling mildly exasperated that she'd been gone long enough that it was welcome picnic time again, and really, really regretting buying Park Place.

"Is all of this food safe for humans to eat?" FN-2187 had to check. Sure, most people at the picnic seemed to be human, but this was a lot of food to just be lying around not portioned out! Maybe it wasn't all for them.

Mara had a plate full of fruit as she glanced around the gathering, filing away the new faces for further investigation.

If Isabela could have gotten away with going shirtless, she would have, but alas, she'd just have to hope someone else provided.

Rufus had found a plate of food and taken it off with him to sit under the shade of a tree and people watch for the moment. Dark Nation snoozled against his side, and Rufus studied the crowd thoughtfully.

He'd get up and make the rounds soon enough. Just not now.

Every now and then his gaze drifted up to look at the sky. Even though he'd been to Costa del Sol more than once, he was odd to think that there'd be visible sky where he was living for the next few years.

It was, once again, a picnic to see which students had also been kidnapped by this island. And to eat free food.

So, plate of food in hand, normal resting murder face on, and sitting high up enough to actually catch a good view of all the new people, there was Thorin.

Alluka had a stuffed elephant tucked under one arm as she lingered around the food tables and ate chocolate.

She should probably eat something that wasn't chocolate at some point--if only because Kathy would want her to do that--but, for now, she was ignoring most everything else in favour of eating and talking to her elephant about what she was eating.

(Her elephant didn't like chocolate covered strawberries. Her elephant possibly had terrible taste.)

Roscoe stuck his nametag onto the center of his sundress and found a comfortable spot to lean against a tree and do some people-watching.

By now he knew not to be surprised that there were some people wearing armor and others in what had to be ultra-ultra-vintage, but it was still strange to see.

It was nice and warm and sunny, and that meant Ada was outfitted in her usual summer uniform of body glitter, tank top and shorts, and more body glitter. A kinetic carnie ball of shiny.

If she looked slightly exhausted, well, she'd been out with Dante, although as sober-escort she was in considerably better shape. That didn't mean she didn't have lots of food piled on to her plate, or that she wasn't above possibly taking a nap in a sun patch for a bit.

A year on the island, and Cosima still took this geeky pleasure in seeing who exactly would turn up each time. She sat against a tree with a plate of food balanced on her lap and a curious smile on her face.

Alana's mood was a mix between nostalgia at her very last welcome picnic, and satisfaction that she never had to take another class in her life if she didn't want to.

She arrived for the picnic in a fitted tank top (the better to show off her wings) and immediately heaped a plate high with food. If Fandom was only going to feed her for another few months, she intended to enjoy them.

So, it was official. Peridot was lost, stranded, and surrounded by humans.

Mostly humans.

Organics, either way, and they all seemed so very... cheerful.

She didn't even bother to hide a disdainful sneer as she looked at a table that had been set out, full of even more organic... substance. That they appeared to be eating.

Gross. Humans were gross. That was her takeaway from all of this.

At the last picnic, Kira had made a fun promise with Kathy about what to wear to the picnic today. Then, everything had gone horribly wrong, and Kira had spent a long, long time staring at her closet this morning to try to figure out what to do. In the end, Kira decided the best way to keep Kathy in her thoughts was to go through with their plan, which is why she was going through the food line wearing a bikini top and very short shorts. She felt horribly exposed, but getting out of her comfort zone had been the whole point, and she just hoped someone was appreciating this.

Eric had debated whether to do any additional baking beyond that for his new sibling. The school-supplied food was certainly good, and he hadn't wanted to leave an impression with administration that he didn't think it was, or anything. On the other hand, he felt there was just something about homemade rather than catered.

In the end, though, he'd opted not to. There would be plenty of opportunities to show off his skills in the kitchen make new people feel welcome with food in the dorms. So he'd gathered some snacks on a plate and was making his way through the crowds, hoping to spot some new faces.

Steven had finally found Lion... or rather, Lion had shown up of his own volition and had found Steven. So now, Steven was tossing snacks at a giant pink lion, who was catching them in his mouth. Because that's how you met new people, by playing with the pet-friend you already had.

RE: General Mingling [Summer 2016]

[thatwaslucky]

Rey still had a habit of making sure she had enough food at these sorts of things, apparently, and so she got herself a plate and found a spot under a tree to watch the people.

This was still very weird to her.

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2016]

[snipsnspecks]

Ahsoka was still kind of processing, but she was also a teenager and the promise of food as opposed to rations had her near the tables.

Huh, there were a lot of humans here.

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2016]

It felt somehow wrong that there was a welcome picnic without Kathy. That thought had Ringo snorting in self-amusement because even if Kathy was safe and sound, she would have graduated and moved on.

At first Ringo had thought she'd have to hold her smile in place with force of will, that thoughts of Kathy would keep her mood down. It turned out, though, that while she missed her senpai, the weather was nice enough, and the prospect of meeting new people was fun enough that her grin was utterly genuine.

She was dressed in a light summer-y dress, one with a skirt light enough to flare outward whenever she spun quickly. And, of course, she had her backpack slung over one shoulder. Because newbies meant new people to introduce to AirTrek!

Dani was sopping wet from a trip back to Maryland to deal with a feed supplier who refused to travel by portal. Having done enough work for the day, she was going to sit in the sun and chow down on burgers while she dried off.

Don't let the scowl on her face scare you off. She's totally approachable.

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2016]

Hannibal had his own food, of course, but it was always worth hanging around here for the people watching. So he was sitting back at one of the tables and doing just that.

Ooooooh doing the OCD here first, so daring!
