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

Thankfully, the weather on the island today was fairly nice for the tail end of December, but there was still a medium-sized bonfire going in the middle of the lawn, partly due to tradition and partly due to the potential for shirtlessness (which, Zoe supposed, was also tradition.)

The usual tables were set up with warm foods, nametags, and lists for the new and old folks to find each other. Once everything was set up, it was time to celebrate a new year and the start of a new semester!

[OCD is up! I'm consolidating this down to one post, so bring all your new and old folks over here! Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"And you never know what's going to happen, so you might as well learn. Or learn how to help somebody else in that position," Kitty shrugged. "I like it."

Sparkle smiled a little bit more, then. Okay, Kitty was getting bonus points for being reassuring, today. Seriously.

"And even if all it gives people is... I don't know... perspective. An idea of how hard it is for people to claw their way out of that place once they're there. How easy it can be to slip in the first place. Homelessness doesn't take away a person's humanity. It's easy for people to forget that."

He scuffed a toe against the ground awkwardly.

"I mean, I'll probably present that to them in a way that isn't all... preachy if you're a teenager... but there's a lot to it, you know? I want to be able to smash some biases while I'm at it."
