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

The tables and chairs had been scattered around the lawn - some near the food, some not, some in the shade, some not - and the food was ready for anyone who wanted to come by and greet the new people.

Enjoy your last picnic where shirtlessness will be enjoyable until next summer, 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!]

"Yeah, those sorts tend to be all over no matter what community you're in," Tip said. She really hadn't been Christina for awhile now. "It's definitely a better plan to judge people on what they do, not what label they use."

Nell nodded. "And I expect if I'm not hallucinating or something, that there's a lot in this place I'm just not gonna have a reference for, so I'm best off doing that anyway."

"That's definitely the right attitude to have around here. I've been here more than two years and I still get thrown."

For instance, by someone around her own age having a husband.

"Have you met your big sib yet?"

Nell nodded. "Very nice person, name of Norman. Made me feel much more at ease, he did. Do you know him?"

Tip grinned. "Oh yeah, Norman's the best. You lucked out there."

She wouldn't have been ready to hear it, but being pulled into Fandom might have been the biggest stroke of luck she could have asked for.

"I guess I did at that. I suppose I can't say today was entirely an unlucky day then - having met such nice people as I did. Thank you, Tip."

It got her away from whatever backwoods church thought a young teenager getting married was a good idea in 2008, so yeah, Tip would agree with that sentiment very thoroughly.

"You're welcome. I'm sure Norman will have you covered, but if you need anything and he's not around, I live in room 411."

"Thank you," Nell said. "And if I can help you in any way, I am in room 219."

She looked around. "It seems to be a small island so I am hopeful we will run into each other again."

"Probably all the time. Especially if we have any classes together." Tip tilted her head. "I'm guessing you probably don't know what you're signed up for yet, if you weren't planning to come here at all, huh."

"Actually Norman helped me check and I have Cooking 101, Practical Ethics, and Humanoid Health and First Aid. He and I are both in the First Aid one as it turns out." Nell wasn't so sure she needed the cooking class since she'd been doing that all her life, but maybe they'd have new recipes she could learn.

"Are you in any of those?"

Tip shook her head. "Nope. I'm taking the two 'bad ass' classes and the one on domesticated animals." She shrugged. "I'm also in the library every Monday, though, and if I do Student Council again, I'll be around selling, like, dance tickets and stuff. So I'll definitely be around."

"The library?" Nell's eyes went wide. "Of course, a school would have to have a library. And I could go there any time I wanted, right?"

Oh, this was amazing news!

"Sure. I mean, when it's open, anyway. The really weird stuff is all locked up in Special Collections, but there's plenty of other books and things to keep you entertained forever."

Especially when the books started getting Ideas and causing their own drama in the stacks.

"If ever there were a silver lining to a cloud, this would be it," Nell said happily. "I can't wait to go see it."
