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!]

Jono looked up again, giving his fingers a snap and then pointing at her, a grin in his eyes.

//Oh, I like you. Deal.//

Verity grinned. "And here my mom worried about me making friends," she said, which wasn't true in the least. Friends were the last thing Prices concerned themselves with. They didn't need friends, they had family and trusted contacts. "Any other pieces of advice for a newbie?"

//Of course. Things like... it isn't what the students get up to in the classroom that you have to worry about, really,// Jono replied with a nod. //The worst bit is the getting to know them, starting to give a damn about them, and then watching them all run off to play sodding hero all the bloody time. Not just when it hits the island. When it hits them back home, too.//

Said Jonothon Starsmore, who had at one point been exactly that student.

"Shit," Verity said. "But that makes sense. I saw a bunch of students along for the ride in the fight." It would have bothered her more, then, but she'd mostly just been glad of the easy prey. "Wasn't there a class I heard about explaining that heroing is stupid?"

Don't trust in heroes. Trust in professionals.

//Mmm, we generally have something like that every few semesters. You think a bunch of teenagers are going to listen to some stupid teacher telling them not to get themselves killed? Teenagers know everything there is to know about everything, after all.//

"I still have a teenage sister living at home," Verity said with a tragic sigh. "Believe me, I know."

Antimony was...there was no good way to describe Antimony.

"So, about locking them all in closets...?"

//For their own good,// Jono agreed, nodding knowingly. //You need any help with that, let me know. They tend to be dificult to stack once you get three or four teenagers deep.//

"Sounds like we're setting up for other problems in that case," Verity said. "But I'm not teaching health this semester, so less my problem?"

She heard radio. She knew what these kids got up to.

//Don't look at me,// Jono replied, holding up his hands. //I'm teaching music.//

So, not their problem, no.
