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

Despite the not-so-great weather earlier in the week, the weather today looked nice and... well, decent for the end of December, and while the rest of town might still have signs of last week's snow, there were no traces left outside the school. (It just meant one less uncomfortable question for the big siblings to deal with, you're welcome.)

The buffet table was ready, set as far as possible from the glittered-out blue and gold tables and chairs. The winter bonfire was crackling for warmth and food-toasting opportunities. The lists of siblings and roommates had been double-checked. It looked like everything was ready for a picnic!

[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 had all happened so fast. A week ago her father had informed her that he would be sending her off to school to further her training, and just this morning she'd been home in Zephrah.

And now here Keyleth was, stepping through the doorway that manifested in the trunk of a large tree on the school grounds then quickly closed up behind her. She was wide-eyed, nervously keeping a white-knuckled grip on her staff -- and wincing when she realized that her ears were not taking the sudden change from high altitude to sea level gracefully.

At least she knew she was supposed to be arriving at the welcome picnic and that someone would be assigned to help get her used to the place, so taking in all the tables and people was thankfully not too much of a shock. Still. It was all kind of scary and very nearly overwhelming, and she was seriously considering just turning herself into a squirrel or something and hiding out on a branch to watch.

She'd thoroughly forgotten to look for a nametag with her name on it, but it was easy to tell she was new by how out of place she looked, right?
