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!]

That low ebb of anger was nothing new to him. There were parts of his own mind, both recently and not so recently banished from the corners, that had been very much like that. Like everything that lurked in the darkness, that came screaming out of it to swallow up anything that dared cross it.

He wondered at it for a moment, but didn't ask. Didn't even let it show on his face that he had noticed it was there. It almost eclipsed the rest entirely, the eerie familiarity of it.

Hell, maybe he was more than welcome to left it. Always hated a little bit, feeling like he was peering at things he wasn't intended to see.

//Not a request I get often,// he replied, lifting a shoulder slightly. //Genuine curiosity is a welcome change of pace, honestly.//

It was usually impossible to not notice. It usually radiated off her in a cloud of 'danger: not only will this kill you, it will hurt the whole time you are dying' that even head blind people reacted to. Not today though.

She even had that phrase on a shirt.

"Yeah, well, people suck," was her answer to that. "Always figured it's better to ask, you know?"

//People suck,// Jono agreed, //and it's always a bloody breath of fresh air when somebody asks, instead of coming at me with a fire extinguisher or a jacket or some curtains.//

... He'd experienced this on several occasions, you see.

Yes, around here.

"What, they try to put you out?" Jack blinked. "You're not in any sort of obvious distress. People are not only dumb, they're damn blind."

//What is it they call it,// Jono replied, waving a hand around vaguely, //reptile brain sees fire, reptile brain reacts to it. I don't blame them for having that initial panic reaction. Is a touch irritating when it takes some doing to get them to back off, though. Especially once it's evident that they aren't having any luck.//
