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

The lawn was arranged with tables and chairs - some near the food, some not - and there was plenty of food to go around. The school had even wised up and put to-go boxes by the plates, so people didn't have to put food in their pockets to take it with them for later. No one was gonna judge you for making some pocket bacon, but at least now it wasn't a necessity.

[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!]

That Trevor would accept as a valid reasoning for shoving free clothing at him. He nodded, maybe a little grateful to not have to fight having something warm to wear out of his sense of pride.

"Most of it seems edible."

Because he knew so little about what any of it was.

"It all more or less is," Sparkle confirmed. "Maybe various degrees of edible, but none of it'll kill you if you put it in your mouth and swallow."

That phrasing definitely got a side-eye from Trevor. Who was just completely unable to take that in the perfectly innocent way it was intended. Probably because Warren Ellis.

"Can't be worse than anything else I've eaten."

Oh, hell, yeah. Warren Ellis had that effect on people.

"Probably isn't," Sparkle replied, shrugging. "It's better than most of the shit I grew up on, anyway." He paused. "There are fridges in the dorms, you'll want to put your name on your package of food so nobody runs off with it, but it'll keep longer if you put your food in there." A pause. "And if someone does take it, kick their asses."

He was helpful.

"Fridges." HE WAS ALSO FROM THE 15th CENTURY. SORRY, SPARKLE.

"Big white boxes that are cold inside," Sparkle offered. Yeah, he'd kind of figured there'd be at least a few of those. "There's one in every common room."

Just wait until he learned about how fucking awesome indoor plumbing was. Just you wait.

"Riiight." Look, he was doing his best at not going mad at the revelation or some Lovecraftian shit about being in the future.

"You get used to it," Sparkle replied with a shrug. "Or you don't and you go fucking nuts. But you'll probably get used to it."

"You sure I'm not already there?" he muttered, eyeing the castle like maaaaybe Dracula was in there. Waiting to monologue about men's souls or some shit.

Sparkle paused a moment, considering.

"More nuts, then."

Hey, it could happen.

"They don't pay me to do assessments or anything."

It was for the best. Mae had left him with a disdain for therapists. Because 'manly' ways of dealing with trauma.

"I can live with that." Because he had to.

"Yeah? Then you'll do just fine here," Sparkle decided. "Remember-- fridges are for eating out of, avoid little green things that bite, you'll be fine."

He'd end up slaughtering a few gremlins, Sparkle. It was his thing.

"Green things that bite."

"Hallucinogenic venom," Sparkle supplied. "Not the great time it sounds like, unless you get to witness it instead of experience it first-hand."

"And people are just... fine with that?" He had some concerns, Sparkle.

"Well, no," Sparkle replied, and then shrugged. "That's kind of why people warn you about them."
