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

There really was just no getting around the fact that it was cold outside today as Fandom welcomed its newest residents. Food? Check. Nametags and lists for people to look at for their siblings and roommates? Check. Bonfire? Definite check, it was hard to miss in the center of the lawn. Temperature away from the fire? Around 40F/5C.

At least there was a lot of warm food and chairs by the fire?

[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 really wasn't expecting any of this," Molly said. "I just thought it'd be a neat mystery to investigate. Turns out it's like this place was... made for me."

She beamed. "I think I'm going to really, really like it here."

"Well, then," Tip said. "Welcome. You're a detective, then?"

"Reporter," Molly said. "So... sort of. I know, most would call it a pursuit of a story, but there's way more than just one story to this school and this island."

"Several dozen, at least," Tip said. "Just when you figure out one, you'll probably find another. We don't have a newspaper or anything around here, but I bet you might get a kick out of the daily radio broadcast."

"That's the thing with stories. One seemingly ends, and there's always another one starting," Molly said. "...They broadcast the news over radio here?"

"What news there is," Tip said. "Mostly it's just who hung out with whom. But it's pretty helpful when we get invaded by something."

Molly paused. "Can you repeat that?" she asked.

"Right," Tip said. "Sooooo, every now and then, someone or something shows up on the island and goes all evil and either tries to take over or tries to kill everyone. Sometimes both."

"...that's definitely dampened my excitement to be staying here," Molly admitted. "But I guess it's never been successful?"

"Nope. I don't think it's ever even lasted more than about a week." Tip hadn't been here long enough to remember the really long ones. "We always manage to band together and take them down."

"Well that does seem to make it all a little better, yes," Molly said. "What sort of things are attacking this place?"

She couldn't imagine what would attack a school. Not even the worst of the Resurrectionists would have... wait, no, they absolutely would have. Molly knew that too well.

"Well, let's see. There was the chaos demon who turned everyone into ponies, and a memory-eating monster world. That's since I got here about a year and a half ago. We've also had a hurricane full of sharks and a swarm of cryptids, but those weren't really invasions, per say."

"...How does a hurricane get full of sharks?" Molly asked, because that was the one that jumped out most to her.

"No idea. It's possible they wanted money."

"...They were loan sharks?" Molly said, thinking this was what Tip meant.

And Tip shrugged and nodded. Because that was just what Fandom was.

"Right," Molly said, shaking her head a little.

"Well, it's definitely going to be lots of new experiences."

"Pretty much all the time, yeah."

"Well. Here's to a new school and a new friend," Molly said. "Hopefully it won't be too full of chaos or demons."

"Just enough to keep us on our toes."
