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!]

"Hi, it's nice to meet you," she said with a smile, "it's going pretty good, so far,"

"Cool!" Mae didn't know what to say next. She sat down on the table and kicked her heels. ". . . I like your ears."

“Thank you?” Alara stammered, she wasn’t too sure how to reply to that, “I like yours as well,” she tried.

"Really?" Mae's right ear twitched. It was tattered along the edge, from a fight with a dog (a real one) when she was a kid. ". . . Alright."

Alara didn’t know what to say, had she said the wrong thing? She stood there awkwardly for a few moments, “so uh...what‘s ...uh...what’s Fandom like?” she finally settled on.

Mae tended to make most people awkward by proxy, yes. But well done getting her back on track!

"Oh, it's cool. Everyone's pretty nice and there are gremlins running around all over the place? And the teachers are hilarious."

“That sounds great,” Alara was relieved to hear that, “my parents didn’t tell me too much about this school, so I wasn’t too sure what to expect,”

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Summer 2020]

"I don't know if anyone comes to this school actually knowing what to expect," Mae said. "My school back home was nothing like this one. For one thing, they make you learn math."

Numbers and Mae didn't get along.

"You don't have to learn math here?" Alara had been nervous about her classes and her parents expectations that she was to do well at them.

She had figured that classes at Fandom were going to be strict and difficult, why else would she had been sent all the way to Earth for school?

"What are the classes like?" she asked.

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Summer 2020]

"Last semester I took the Art of Pacifism and How to Be Civilized. I spent most of the semester napping or giving the teacher fits for not wearing 'proper gloves'."

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Summer 2020]

[canlendanear]

"Those are different classes," Alara admitted, "I thought they'd be all be like math and science related and be difficult,"

She was going to have to find a way to avoid telling her parents what she was actually studying and the nature of classes at Fandom.

“They’re usually more about, like, weapons,” Mae said. “And sometimes crime!”

She sounded way too excited about that, yes.
