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

[bigdamnprincipal]

The forecasts had been calling for rain all week, so when it was time to get everything set up for the picnic and it was sunny and warm outside instead, well, that was hopefully a good sign of things to come.

There were tables set up all around the lawn of the school with blue and gold tableclothes and chairs, and the usual buffet of food (and ice cream!) was waiting for hungry folks to dig in. There was also a second table with nametags and lists to help the new people locate their siblings and roommates.

Once the food was ready and the tables were glittered, everything was set for a very pleasant picnic indeed.

[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!]

"Looks like someone on the island decided that I'm supposed to be your Fandom Island life coach or something," Kanan mused, smirking faintly as he walked over to Magnus. "Welcome to the club."

Yeah, he didn't figure 'by the way you're a teacher now' was necessarily going to fly, but he figured he'd break it to the guy gently.

"And by life coach you mean helping me find a wizard in this awesome, but kinda weird picnic?" Magnus asked hopefully.

"Something like that," Kanan replied. "In that kind of way that isn't that, but I'll be keeping an eye out for one for you anyway, because I know being stranded here when you don't want to be is garbage."

You're welcome, Magnus!

"That does indeed sound like garbage," Magnus replied. "What about that portal... thingy?"

Or did it stay on LJ?

"Portalocity," Kanan supplied. "We can try out Portalocity in a minute, just to be damn sure, but in the meantime..."

He held up a sheet of paper and handed it to Magnus.

"Apparently the local school was expecting you. Someone over in the office figures you're supposed to be teaching... woodworking?"

Which was kind of quaint!

"I mean. I am a master carpenter." Of course he was.

"Well, ever thing about teaching your trade to a bunch of sullen teenagers?"

It was a living, right?

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2017]

[magnusrushesin]

"...n-no?" Magnus said slowly. Like he needed to confirm that was not on his list of things to do with his life.

"Well, congratulations," Kanan snorted. "If it turns out you're stuck here, you've got a job lined up doing just that anyway."

Sorry, dude. Just rush into it. It was better that way.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2017]

[magnusrushesin]

"That's good?" Yeah, his voice went up at the end like he was asking Kanan.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2017]

"It's better than being stuck here and not having any way to afford food or a place to sleep at night," Kanan pointed out. And then he sighed and shrugged. "Look, when I first came to this place, I couldn't get back home for almost a year. It's not ideal, but if - if - that's the case, you still have to live, you know?"

"That doesn't mean I'm going to stop trying," Magnus said firmly.

Because his friends needed him right now, okay?

"Never said you should," Kanan replied, shaking his head. "Hell, I'll keep helping in whatever way I can to get you home. Like I said, I was stranded here too. I'm not going to wish that on anybody who doesn't want to be here."
