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!]

"Maybe spit out a few curses here and there just to make sure," Atton said. "And no puppy-students hanging around the house."

Said the guy who'd let puppy-Sparkle hang around his house all the time.

"Nah, all my puppies stay in town. I know how you feel about pets," Sparkle replied, shrugging.

Even teacher's pets.

"I'm not really a dog person anyway."

Except when he literally became a person who was a dog.

"Kitten students, then," Atton said.

Beat.

"Okay, that doesn't actually work, because kittens are still evil on four legs."

"Yeah, but they smell better than dogs," Sparkle volunteered. "And they're scrappy like Fandom students usually are. It fits better."

Atton held his hands up. "They're all hairy, loud, smelly animals to me," he said, "The only thing they've got going for them is that they don't breed like gizka."

"Which are still adorable," Sparkle chimed in. "Can't gizka, like, get fixed? Please tell me you live in a galaxy that believes in spaying and neutering your damn pets, man."

Because Sparkle was irresponsible in many areas, but keeping pets was not generally one of them.

"Of course you can get them fixed," Atton sighed. "But you have to catch them first."

"... You can't buy them already fixed?" Sparkle wrinkled his nose. "Okay, okay, I won't start pestering you about getting a gizka. Even if they kinda look like Nerds candy with a tail."
