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!]

Sidon stroked his chin a little in thought, trying to picture it. It sounded a little bit like skiing, actually, which he was...okay at, but he'd rather enjoyed it, and it was on water instead of snow (which was also technically water, but shh), and he nodded.

"I would love to have you teach me more about this ice skating, Norman, if you would be so kind as to show me!" he said. "But with a teacher such as you to guide my gliding, how could I possibly experience anything but a wonderful good time and perhaps even a new passion to help pass these chilly winter months until the spring breaks the ice and I may enjoy the warm embrace of the ocean once more?"

"Well... then there, now we have something to look forward to once the ice is thick enough that we don't have to worry about breaking through it," Norman replied, ducking his head and smiling. There was so much enthusiasm there, and it was just the slightest bit overwhelming, but at least Sidon meant well, and Norman had learned years ago to not judge a person based on the fact tha they were different all on its own. "And there are other things to do during the winter, too. Snowball fights, or building a snow fort... Mostly, uh, snow stuff."

Since there was generally a lot of it.

Sidon chuckled. "That would make a lot of sense," he said. "I look forward to this snow stuff, Norman, and I am excited to have you teach me these new things. I hope I may teach you some things, as well, and we will learn from each other. That is, after all, the main reason we are here, is it not? To make new friends and learn new skills to enrich our lives!"

"That is what school is for, I think," Norman agreed, flashing Sidon a brief, small grin of his own. "So far it looks like I'm off to one heck of a start."

A very unexpected one, but not in a bad way.
