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!]

//Alluka and I have met at least once or twice,// Jono muttered.

And Ringo was absolutely correct.

"Oh, then I'm sure you have a pretty good guess as to what she'll say, then."

Stop being such a smug brat about it, Ringo.

//At least I have the luxury of being able to hold my breath in case she says otherwise,// Jono muttered. Some more. Because muttering seemed like the way to go, here.

The whole island didn't need to know that he was fluffy, okay?

It didn't need to. But maybe it should anyway!

"Maybe we should make a big announcement when she makes her decision. You know, signs and a party and everything?"

Ringo was just kidding. Probably.

//Just write a bloody note and hand it to a squirrel,// Jono replied, rolling his eyes. //I'm sure they'd be happy to share anything you figure is newsworthy, Sunbeam.//

Especially if you bribed them with rum.

Ringo giggled. "Sunbeam?" she repeated, sounding amused.

//It's my catch-all name for brats,// Jono replied, with the air of a man who mostly reserved it for brats that he actually liked. //What? Don't think it fits?//

"Don't know," Ringo admitted, looking a little unsure of herself. "Never had a nickname or anything before."

"Sunbeam," she repeated, as if trying it out in her head.

Jono tilted his head a little at that.

//Never, really?// Never was a long time. In fairness, Jono hadn't tossed a nickname at anybody in quite some time. //Well, I've been slacking, then.//

Ringo shook her head. "What? Is that, like, your job? Giving people nicknames?"

//If it is, I'm bloody terrible at it.//

Seriously. Everybody would be named Sunshine and Sunbeam. It'd be awful.

"Awww, I'm sure you do your best," Ringo teased.

//Right,// Jono countered, //if you aren't 'Sunbeam' you're 'Sunshine,' which, I think, is fairly creative.//

Sure he did.

Ringo laughed. "Hmm, I don't know. I think I'm more of a beam, don't you?"

//You are definitely a beam,// Jono decided. //Alluka's Sunshine, anyway.//

"Well, she and I definitely need different nicknames. It wouldn't do for us to get confused with each other."

"Though it would be kind of fun if we both answered to the same thing all the time."

//Well, you won't be sharing nicknames from me,// Jono decided, putting his nose into the air. //Sunshine's reserved.//

For the one that was practically his daughter, which was the qualifier that was going to go unspoken, there.

"I think I can live with that. Sunbeam's not bad, after all."

She grinned. "Does that mean we get to come up with a good nickname for you, too?"

//... I mean, if you like. I have a few already, but they're less nicknames and more codenames,// Jono replied. //And even a few of those don't really apply, anymore.//

Which was a shame. 'Decibel' had always been a little more flattering than 'Chamber.'

"Oh, yeah? What's your best codename, then?"

//Chamber,// Jono replied, shrugging his shoulders a little. //There was Decibel, once, but I was more... ah... whole, then.//

Not entirely himself, maybe. But whole.

"Chamber?" Ringo frowned. "I don't get it."

//It's... ah...// Jono glanced down, and waved a hand at his flames. //It's kind of meant to allude to this whole... situation.//

"Really?" Ringo's frown deepened. "I don't think I get it."

Oh, hell, Jono didn't want to have to explain this. He scratched at the back of his neck, and then shrugged.

//Because there's nothing in there but fire, anymore,// he said, dumbing it down a little. //My body's essentially a chamber for the psionic energy.//
