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

So this week had been... less than great overall, but everyone in town was okay again (as okay as they ever were, at least) and now there were new people to welcome to the island! Thankfully, the weather was warm and sunny, perfect for anyone who wanted to take part in some shirtless shenanigans, and the front lawn of the school was all set up for yet another tasty picnic. There were tables of blank name tags, lists of information, and enough food to probably feed two Fandoms. Time to be welcoming!

[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!]

Billy (who would totally understand; he knew from defense mechanisms) gave him a mildly amused look that said I see what you're doing there, but unlocked his phone and held it out anyway.

"They're communication devices," he explained. "Also tiny computers. We don't really have people here, at least in my world, who can do what you do."

Not enough to form a network, anyway.

"Well, we don't have any... tiny computers, so I suppose it comes up about even," Owen said, looking curious. "A bit like links, then, but without the cyphers? Huh. Or... more like personal little radios, I suppose."

"More or less." Outside of being able to manipulate electricity, technology wasn't really Billy's strong point. "I guess if you have people who can do that, you don't really need to come up with devices that can do it for you?"

Or maybe you came up with using people to do that if you couldn't make the devices.

"Maybe," Owen said. "Huh."

He considered the board. Then considered the picnic table.

"Suppose I'll see you back at... wherever that is supposed to be, tonight?" he said. "We can fight about beds like proper roommates."

They would not.

Chicken, egg, right?

Billy followed his glance over toward the picnic table. And, because he was a teenage boy, his attention was now thoroughly focused over there, too.

"Sure," he said easily. "We can throw down over it then. But food first."

Nah. They really wouldn't.
