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

[bigdamnprincipal]

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!]

"Huh. Those kinda sound like, you know, real classes."

"Yeah. I might be doing Fandom High wrong."

Ringo laughed. "Nah. You'll have to tell me if they're as interesting as they sound," she suggested.

"I mean, they sound practical."

She frowned slightly. "Though, really, I part of the reason I want to, uh, learn shooting is because, well." She shrugged uncomfortably.

It might turn out to be useful at Fandom.

"Have you ever shot a gun?" Tip asked.

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2017]

"No," Ringo admitted, shaking her head slightly. "I've, um, seen them? And seen people shoot them?" They were actually kind of scary.

"Yeah," Tip said. "They're kind of -- major. I don't blame you for wanting to learn, especially around here, but. It's not very easy."

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2017]

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Yeah." Ringo's voice was soft, and she swallowed nervously.

"I'm sure, um, I'm sure I'll manage." Well, she hoped so, anyway.

Tip nodded, biting her lip.

Well, this was slightly uncomfortable.

"So. That was a really depressing note for the welcome picnic."

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2017]

[soniaroadsqueen]

Ringo blinked, then snorted.

"Yeah. Sorry about that."

"Um. Tell me about something awesome?"

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2017]

[intotheout]

". . . I'm a library aide now?" Tip shrugged. "I sound pretty boring, huh."

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2017]

[soniaroadsqueen]

"No, no," Ringo grinned. "You sound like someone who knows tons of awesome things!"

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2017]

[intotheout]

Tip shrugged again, dropping her head a little. "Well, you know. I read a lot. You pick up things."

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2017]

Ringo laughed. "Well, I don't, really." She had a hard time sitting still long enough. "So you've got one up on me there."
