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

The weather held out nicely during the day, and while that meant some of the tables were right out in the warm sun, others had been carefully placed under some shade, and the gentle breeze had cleared at least a little of the glitter up.

It wasn't totally gone, of course. That wouldn't be any fun!

[OCD is up! This is the picnic post for general mingling. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

Really, they needed to contract out somebody with a food truck or something for these shindigs. It was the only way.

"It's free," Nathan added, because that part seemed important. "You're new here, then?"

Most locals didn't ask for unicorn dick.

"Yeah, unfortunately," Magnus replied before offering a hand. "Magnus Burnsides."

"Nathan Algren," Nathan replied, reaching to shake Magnus' hand. "I take it you're one of the few strays that didn't intend to end up on the island when you arrived, then?"

They should start a club. They could have a secret handshake and everything.

"I like to think of myself as a lost sock in a dryer," Magnus replied philosophically.

"You're half of a pair and there's a good chance you've got a hole in your toe?"

Look, if you were going to wax philosophical at Captain Nathan Algren, you had best be prepared to have it picked apart.

"Yeah," Magnus said, all soft and sincere. "You're a poetic soul."
shiroi_tiger: (Is that so?)

Nathan... kind of was, admittedly. He laughed a little, gave his head a shake.

Magnus here kind of reminded him of Minsc. All he was missing was the giant miniature space hamster to complete the -- nevermind, there was a goldfish.

"Thanks," he decided. "You have somewhere to stay, Magnus?"

What? He was living in a big house, and he was used to having roommates around here.
magnusrushesin: (uhh... no?)

Stevphen was better than any hamster!

That was a lie, all animals were equally amazing.

"No?" He honestly hadn't even given that thought until now.

"Well, I have a spare room, if you need one," Nathan offered. "I don't have much in the way of furniture, admittedly, but I've got more than enough space for a few boarders, at the very least."

Like, several, really. But one for now was about his speed.

"Thank you!" He fished around in his pockets and pouches for any gold leftover from his last trip to the Fantasy Costco. "I can... build you some furniture as repayment."

"That... actually seems like a decent deal," Nathan replied, after a moment's pause. "I'd rather not have a home with minimal furniture, but I haven't had much opportunity to furnish the place."

His ability to haul furniture wasn't really what it used to be.

Magnus could totally help with that one too!

"Great! What do you need first?"

"... Chairs, maybe," Nathan offered. "Or a proper table?"

When he said his furniture situation was minimal, he hadn't been kidding.

Magnus hummed, thinking it over. "How do you feel about something a little rustic?"

To go with his hospitality.

"I could be swayed toward rustic," Nathan replied, smiling wryly. "What did you have in mind?"

Magnus opened his mouth to explain before going with, "I'll surprise you and if it doesn't work... I can use it for class."

"Fair enough," Nathan agreed. Really, it seemed like a win-win situation, so far as he was concerned. "I look forward to seeing what you end up making."

He'd been sitting on mats on the floor for a while.

Chairs of any shape would be much appreciated.
