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!]

Of all the questions she'd expected, that was not one.

"No strip club. Maybe on the mainland...?"

"They probably wouldn't let me in anyway." Since she was about four and a half feet tall and, you know, 15 and all. "Oh! Does the island get cell reception?"

"We do! And internet, or I think half the island would start twitching."

She had nothing to base that on, actually, it just felt right.

"That's awesome! . . . Now I need to figure out how to afford a cellphone."

Possum Springs did not have any reception, so she'd never bothered to get one before.

"There are plenty of places in town where you can get jobs," Sabine told her. "Things here are almost freakishly affordable."

How else could people get apartments working one day a week?

". . . Right. A job."

Mae really didn't want a job.

"They seem to be pretty easy?" Sabine tried.

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Spring 2019]

[thishouseishaunted]

"Yeah, but you have to, like. Go to them. And do things. When people tell you to."

Mae was not good at those sorts of things.

"Once a week?"

She was so trying.

"It is the easiest way to get money."

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Spring 2019]

[thishouseishaunted]

"But at what cost?!"

No, really, Mae really didn't want a job.

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Spring 2019]

"Is there another option?" Sabine asked, against her better judgment.

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Spring 2019]

[thishouseishaunted]

"Not working?"
