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

[bigdamnprincipal]

So, the heat meant that many of the tables and chairs had been set up in the shade, and someone had found outdoor table umbrellas in blue and gold, god help us all. But hey, a little heat never hurt anyone who wasn't a vampire, right?

Ahem. The picnic was open for warm, sunny business.

[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!]

"You haven't. He hasn't come to visit yet. You'd remember if you had. He's an alien who looks soooort of like a six legged frog thing."

"Oh." Ringo tried not to look relieved at the discovery she wasn't just terribly rude. "So I guess he's from back home for you, then?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2016]

[intotheout]

"Yup. He keeps asking me when 'the weekend of parents' is."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2016]

[soniaroadsqueen]

Ringo laughed. "So I guess I should be looking forward to that, huh?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2016]

"Well, hopefully for more than just my friend," Tip said. "You have any family that comes around then?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2016]

"Um, well, not last year?" Ringo smiled slightly. "I think they were trying to give me some spaces since I hadn't been away from home for all that long. But maybe this year my sisters will visit?"

They hadn't really talked about it, actually.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2016]

[intotheout]

"Yeah? How many sisters do you have?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2016]

[soniaroadsqueen]

Ringo's expression lit up a bit at that question.

"Three! Two older sisters, and a younger." She was smiling broadly because, well, her sisters were awesome. "Ume's kinda quiet, but the other two would probably really like Fandom, actually."

"Then you should totally ask them to come. Don't you want to show this place off?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2016]

[soniaroadsqueen]

"I guess I can't argue with that." Ringo grinned. "And maybe show them off a bit, too, since most people on the island haven't had a chance to meet them."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2016]

[intotheout]

"Well, I for one am going to look forward to it."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2016]

[soniaroadsqueen]

Ringo giggled. "I hope you don't wind up disappointed."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2016]

[intotheout]

"I doubt it. I have really low standards." That was . . . almost true. She didn't expect much from people, anyway.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2016]

[soniaroadsqueen]

It didn't seem like Ringo was taking that as anything other than banter. "Well, hopefully me and my family can at least meet them."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2016]

[intotheout]

"And you can meet my crazy alien best friend," Tip said happily. "And . . . probably my mom. I mean, it is Parents Weekend."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2016]

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Is it bad if I'm more looking forward to the best friend thing than the mom thing?" Ringo didn't really know how to interact with parents. She didn't have any herself, and hadn't really met many of her friends', either.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2016]

[intotheout]

"I'm more looking forward to the best friend than the mom. Mom's great, and I literally drove from one end of the country to the other to make sure I got her back, but oh my god does she drive me nuts."

Pardon her language.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2016]

[soniaroadsqueen]

Ringo grinned. "I hear that parents can be like that." Television told her so.
