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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Other places might have been expecting a cold front wtf polar vortex, but the weather in Fandom was just right for welcoming in new people. The bonfire was mostly going for decoration, but there were also the makings for s'mores among the food offerings.

Mmmm, summer food.

The food was ready, the tables and chairs had been spread across the lawn with just the right amount of glitter on them, and everything was ready to welcome a new batch of folks to the island!

[OCD is coming! 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, so long as no one is actively trying to kill me...?" He was sort of hedging his bets here. Because he hadn't slept with anyone last time, so the chances were low.

“That happen to you a lot, does it?”

Not that Duke had the most room to judge.....

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2020]

[ohvalleyofpenis]

"I wouldn't say a lot."

Yes. Yes, it did.

“Well. You’ll probably get along here just fine. I’m Duke, by the way. One of the teachers here.”

"So long as I don't end up over a lava pit again," Jaskier added. Then took a breath and looked around. "Well, it can't be any worse than Oxenfurt."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2020]

[betterthanaplan]

". . . Yeah. You know, traditionally people introduce themselves back."

"Oh! Where are my manners?" Jaskier said, turning in place to face him with a little bow. "Julian Alfred Pankratz, Viscount de Lettenhove, though I am better known by my nom de plume, Jaskier. I must admit I prefer it as well."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2020]

[betterthanaplan]

". . . Fancy." He really shouldn't be surprised. He'd had a shark prince as a student his first semester, after all. "Jaskier. You're in luck, I've been assigned to be your teaching buddy."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2020]

[ohvalleyofpenis]

"And what, pray tell, does that entail?" Jaskier asked, giving him a once over. A little less broad than his normal type, but he could work with this.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2020]

[betterthanaplan]

Duke made up for his narrowness with his height!

He noticed that once over and couldn't help but return it. Look, he and Octavia had already opened their relationship up a little. There was potentially room for more!

"Judging by the one I had, giving you general warnings about the island. Which I think Goat Man kind of covered already. Also . . . occasionally giving you food."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2020]

[ohvalleyofpenis]

"I'll accept food," Jaskier decided brightly. "A bed would also be appreciated."

Oh god, was he wiggling his eyebrows flirtatiously? Yes, yes he was. This was why people wanted him dead so often. This right here.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2020]

[betterthanaplan]

That was kind of adorable. "Sorry, buddy, my boat -- and my bed -- are full up right now." He gestured to the buffet tables with his chin. "Food's easy enough, though."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2020]

[ohvalleyofpenis]

He'd wear Duke down eventually! Or he'd just move onto the next pretty person he saw. It was a toss up!

"Much better than stale biscuits," Jaskier said with an appreciative nod.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2020]

[betterthanaplan]

There were a hell of a lot of options for pretty around here, let's be real.

"Most things are," Duke agreed. "When I got here? I'd been living on fish jerky for three days."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2020]

[ohvalleyofpenis]

He was gonna just hit on all of them.

"That sounds horrible," Jaskier said, making such a face.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2020]

[betterthanaplan]

When he hit on Rosa, Duke wanted to watch.

"It's not great," Duke agreed. "But such is life on the high seas."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2020]

[ohvalleyofpenis]

He once told two very dangerous bodyguards that he thought they had sexy, swan-like necks. He had absolutely no chill. It would happen.

The face did not go anywhere. "Was there at least wine?"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2020]

[betterthanaplan]

"There was not. Hence coming into port. Where I was very surprised to learn that I was going to be teaching high school."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2020]

[ohvalleyofpenis]

"Now, explain to me, what exactly is a high school?" Because, while they were high up on this strange island, they weren't that high up.

Also, he didn't know what Yennefer was teaching yet.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2020]

[betterthanaplan]

". . . Ah. Yeah. Okay." Duke nodded. "It's the highest level of schooling the government has to offer to kids. So . . . we teach teenagers. Do you, uh, know what teenagers are?"

Look, his roommate didn't know what parents were when he met her. Or names. He was learning not to assume.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2020]

[ohvalleyofpenis]

"Huh." That was certainly A Thing. "How strange. You see, where I am from, schooling is usually from start to finish. If you attend one of the schools, of course."
