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

[bigdamnprincipal]

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!]

"There's the town council," Mae said. "They've got walking around and looking at things disapprovingly down to an art."

"Is...that one of more significant duties of a town mayor, then?" asked Sidon, who was very intrigued by this other form of governing, though, so far, he was feeling as though a monarchy was far better, as being mayor mostly just sounded like being an Elder, and he sincerely hoped that, even as an Elder, he would never quite be like that.

"It's kind of a figurehead position," Mae said. "You ride the floats, wave to the kiddies, and let the council be the menacing shadow government."

Wasn't it fun when your bullshit ended up being accidentally slightly true. . . .

"....Ah," said Sidon, "I see."

He did not see. Not exactly, really, because when he thought of things like 'menacing shadow government,' he thought of the literal menacing shadow cloaking the central station of his land's government seat. Which basically painted a picture for him of Mae's council essentially being Calamity Elders, which was...a troublesome thought.

"Do you enjoy it?"

This lie was really running away with Mae.

". . . It's a job."
