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

[bigdamnprincipal]

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!]

"Well..." Norman pursed his lips a little. "What classes are you taking? Maybe I can at least give you a heads-up?"

"I didn't actually pick mine," she said, opening her phone to get the list. "Uhh. Recreational Misuse of Gadgets, the Mid-Century Cookbook, and um. Cutthroat Games and Fandom Gladiators."

SO WORRIED.

Norman blinked. And squinted a little. And chewed on his lip for a moment.

"Okay, if you get hurt in any of those, you can totally kick my butt," he conceded. "That's a weird collection of classes, and I'm saying this as a guy taking a workshop in blacksmithing this term."

"Want to trade? I could maybe do... blacksmithing."

She just couldn't do it well.

Norman frowned faintly.

"Trade which one, though? They all sound like a little... lot."

"Cutthroat Games," she said immediately. "Unless the gladiators class involves lions."

"I mean, there's a reasonable chance all of the classes could involve lions," Norman pointed out. And then glanced around the picnic. "... No, no lion students this semester so far. That probably won't be a concern."

He tilted his head and offered her a crooked little smile.

"Tell you what... Give your first workshops a try this week, and we can touch base whenever you need to. I'll take you to the office myself to help you swap to something else if it looks like any of these are going to actually be detrimental to your health." A pause. "You'll want the backup anyway."

Trust him.

"Okay. Deal," she said, still sounding unsure.

Maybe because she believed the backup thing.

Well, between the moose and Bob the gremlin, the office could be... maybe a little much.

"And if you need anything in the meantime, I'm in room 315, or I can give you my number. I'm not hard to track down."
