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

[bigdamnprincipal]

The good weather continued throughout the day, making it very comfortable to be out on the lawn. Who would want to miss such a nice picnic?

[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!]

So, this was the school, huh? It was still so freakin' weird and everyone acting like it wasn't was just making this place even weirder.

Congrats on that, guys.

Danny found an unobtrusive place to people watch, crossing his arms over his chest as he leaned on a wall.

"Just to let you know," Duke said, walking by. "No one here? Is trafficking anyone. Even though some of them are a little weird."

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2020]

"Thanks for the intel," Danny replied dryly.

"You spotted the kid with the cat head yet?"

What would you arrest her for, Danny?

. . . Admittedly, a lot of what Mae did was pretty illegal.

"Mostly hoping this is all a fever dream, honestly," Danny said with a little sigh of the very deeply put upon. "Or maybe I'm dead."

Maybe he was in some weird alternate universe. Wait, no. That was a Steve thing.

"Glad to hear you've moved on from the cult theory. Eventually you'll calm down enough to just acknowledge that this is the reality of your situation now and make do."

Someone was going to have to put together a list: the five stages of Welcome to Fandom.

Danny did a little hand wiggle of 'eh' at the cult thing. Also, you severely underestimated his ability to stubbornly refuse to accept shit, Duke. It would just lull you into complacency and get you kidnapped by terrorists or something.

Yeah, his life really did prepare him for this place.

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2020]

It really did. Good job, Hawaii!

"Right. Well." Duke tossed him a sarcastic salute. "Have fun not arresting people."

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2020]

And he hadn't even gotten to the really weird stuff yet!

"Will do, Crocker." Again, started as a beat cop in New Jersey. If you wanted to rile him up, you had to work harder. Or be an insane Navy SEAL who lived and breathed bad choices.

Or the guy who happened to let a very socially strange young woman live with him on his boat? Because he'd seemed pretty riled when he arrested Duke.

He popped a pirogi in his mouth -- look, getting hit with one had made him hungry -- and smirked at Danny, then headed off again.

Danny had a pirogi incoming towards his head.

What? Nina had dared her to!

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2020]

[hatesparadise]

Danny fumbled catching it, giving the pirogi a look of confusion and annoyance. Though 'annoyed' may just be his base state of being away from his kid.

"Watch it!"

You weird... cat head kid. Yeah, a psychotic break was lookin' real good right now.

She was also about eye-level with the picnic tables! At least she wasn't a giant?

"Aw, I missed. Sorry!"

Missed what, it might be better not to ask.
