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!]

"I..." Sparkle reached for the little container and started to spoon the sugar in. "I mean, I've been doing, I guess. Well enough I'm still here and haven't, like, burned anything else down lately?"

That was something, right?

"Nor have I caught you climbing in through my windows," Hannibal pointed out, smiling.

"I should teach you a flambé or two. Perhaps teppanyaki cooking. I think you'd enjoy it, and it would be a productive application of flame."

"That's... like... that one with all the fancy frying on the hot plate table, right?"

Sparkle didn't have lots of experience with teppanyaki, really.

"Among other things," Hannibal agreed. "Do you think you'd like to learn it?"

Sparkle hesitated for a moment or three before relenting, and nodding a little.

"It sounds like fun," he admitted. "And what I've seen of it was pretty cool."

"We can plan for that, then," Hannibal said. "I've missed teaching you cooking," he admitted.

He was well aware of the reasons for that, and wasn't judging Sparkle for needing the distance, but he did miss it.

There was a brief pause, and then Sparkle sighed and nodded his head a little.

"Yeah," he replied, looking quietly down at what was left of his sandwich. "I've missed that, too."

He was terrified of it. But he'd missed it.

The only way to get over that terror was clearly to confront it.

"Whenever you like," Hannibal said. "You know my door is always open. Would you prefer to make concrete plans?"

"I mean..." Sparkle frowned thoughtfully. Hell, what did he have to lose, at this point? "... Sure, why not? What day works for you?"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2017]

[sharp_man]

"Thursday?" Hannibal suggested. That should give him enough time to set things up without giving Sparkle too much time to fret.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2017]

Sparkle nodded a little.

"My Thursdays are wide open," he replied. "My class is Tuesday, so... yeah. Yeah, that should work."

He was going to fret plenty anyway.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2017]

[sharp_man]

"Thursday it is, then." Hannibal smiled. "I look forward to it."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2017]

[myownface]

"Yeah," Sparkle replied, smiling wryly as he finished off his first sandwich and reached for the second. "Yeah... I... I am too."

To hell with it.

Yeah.

Let's do this.
