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

[bigdamnprincipal]

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!]

It was that fucking Gary Gygax's fault!

"Awww, they're not bad. A lot of my friends are magic folks. And Merle's technically a priest, but the things we have seen that man do to plants..." He shuddered. Things could never be unseen.

"That," said Amaya firmly, holding out a hand, "is a stone that does not need to be turned. I guess I haven't been lucky on the magic end of things. The place where I grew up? Llwedor? Has this creepy old castle on a mountain that, like a revolving door, evil magicians, in and out, in and out, most of them with a really weird thing about keeping young male slaves and killing them off when they turned eighteen, so...." She sucked in a breath.

"And don't even get me started on Chester Hobblepot."

The man. Ate. FROGS.

"...are... are they still doing that? Because Taako has this cool staff that eats magic users we defeat in battle and I crave battle." He made it sound super cheerful too. "We can totally kill them for you."

Magnus? Craving battle? Nooooo.

"I think it's vacant currently," said Amaya, because the reboot really screwed the pooch on that particular storyline. "But I'll try to keep tabs on it for you and let you know if there's any suspicious activity reported.

She did smile faintly, though. "I think you and your friends would enjoy where I'm from, though. It seems one of the kingdoms always has something going on. Kidnapped princesses, evil magicians, sneaky goblins or treasure-hording dragons. Not so much at the moment, though, which is why I came here. Where I'm from is great, but it's death for the weapon-making business if there's no great big baddies to fight."

"Aw man, fighting a dragon would be so rad. The only times we've fought them have been illusory and during the live shows." Which made for good podcasting, but not so great epic adventure.

"If you ever get the chance," Amaya said, "you'll have to tell me all about it. But that means you've actually gotta survive it, deal?"

Re: Meet Your Teachers! [Spring 2018]

[magnusrushesin]

"Deal," he said, offering her a hand to shake.

He had to survive. It was in the epilogue.

Re: Meet Your Teachers! [Spring 2018]

[special_rabbit]

And Amaya gladly took that fist with a strong shake. "Deal."

He better be true to it, too. She really didn't want to have to deal with any necromancers to bring him back just so she could rub it in his face.

Well, he knew a guy. But Barry Bluejeans probably would be busy at that point. He also had an in with the Raven Queen, so it was cool.

"And if I find any adventure, you can equip us. You're totally less creepy than Garfield."
