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

[bigdamnprincipal]

It may have just been a coincidence that the weather was sunny now that Fandom was back home in Maryland, but no one was going to complain.

Okay, maybe they were going to complain a little since the sun meant it was in the high 90s 32C outside, but that just meant there was a good excuse for all the ice cream on the buffet table of picnic food.

There was the usual second table set up as well, stacked with nametags and lists to help folks locate their siblings and roommates. Once the chairs were set up and the tables were glittered, it was time to welcome the new folks and start a new semester!

[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!]

"Sometimes," Ada admitted. "There's a lotta reasons people are here. It ain't safe at home, or they're too different in one way or another, th' brochure they got just made it sound like a prep school, or they ain't got nowhere else t' go."

"Th' island itself...well, it's magic. One day it'll rain candy, th' next, you're singin' all your feelings everywhere. Which, f'r th' record, is damn annoying. Sometimes I think it's smart, too, an' it's picking who comes here for reasons of its own."

...Maybe Ada had had the right idea after all, taking things slow up front.

"Whoa," Faith said, because seriously, she was going to need to process that. "No offense, but that's hard to, um, believe." It probably came out sounding a little offensive, but she didn't mean to! "You're making it sound like a little kids' cartoon."

Ada just looked at Faith and blinked. "He has a dog head and is a person," she said, pointing over at previously mentioned person. "And it's magic you're havin' a hard time with?"

"All stories got a grain of truth in 'em somewhere. Maybe we're just a slightly weirder truth than most."

"I mean, kinda," Faith said. "I mean, most people don't really believe in... magic stuff, right?"

But honestly, the dog head was a convincing argument.

"Maybe I have to see it to believe it?"
