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

Over on this part of the school lawn... yeah, it was still chilly. Stupid winter, doing its winter thing. But there were plenty of chairs and tables for people watching, feasting on warm foods and drinks, and generally attempting to meet the new folks!

[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!]

Oh, god. Even that name was a nerdy loner tree-sitter name. The only way it could possibly be more so was if his name was Morty Smith.

"Cool," she said, entering the information into her own phone. "Thanks, Norman. I'll text you the deets, but basically, second floor common room, New Years shindig, no big deal. Hope to see you there."

She didn't look up from her phone that whole time and turned to go, but then stopped to add, "My name's Summer, by the way. Summer Smith."

Because that was kind of how introductions went and everything.

Norman pocketed his phone and sighed.

"Good to meet you, Summer. And... thanks for the invitation."

He wasn't terribly certain he was actually wanted at the party, and there was a pretty good chance that he'd chicken out and decide to go sit at the graveyard or something to meet the locals, instead. But, hey, look. An invitation, on his first day on the island.

And then he kind of blinked up and squinted off into the middle distance for a moment while he wrapped his head around seeing a dinosaur ghost tromping by. Sure, they were all dead, but they'd had millions of years to get over it and move on.

What was this place?

"You're...welcome?" Summer said, frowning a little as she tried to glance over her shoulder subtly to see what Norman was squinting at.

She expected to see that giant fish dude or maybe Mr. Deadpool or maybe Ahsoka or Miss Hera, but...nope. Just weird loner tree-sitters probably doing weird loner tree-sitter things.

"Right. Cool. I, uh, guess I'll see you later."

"Yeah," Norman replied, trying not to sound too distracted as the dinosaur snuffled around the picnic table, snapped at the cold cuts to no avail, and then continued stopping its way off into town. "Yeah, I'll see you later."

He was already the weird kid, wasn't he?

Great, he was already the weird kid.
