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!]

"Oh goodness no," Kathy promised. "You can get a semi-decent one for about twenty bucks. Or even free if you sign up for a plan. They're very affordable, I promise."

"For only twenty dollars?" Elli marveled in astonishment, while I grumble that that's not how cell phone prices in Canada work lol. "Almost nothing is that inexpensive back home!"

It took a lot of money to get things shipped into a small town.

"Most people who live here manage to survive with only a single day of work a week," Kathy assured her.

With many people, she'd offer a job at her store. But...no, Elli. Just no.

Yeah, there was no way that wouldn't end in tears.

"I read in the brochures that there's a clinic on the island," she said, smiling. "So I was hoping to get a job there. I want to be a nurse after high school..."

"There is!" Kathy had no idea who the head of the clinic currently was, but Elli should still be okay to get a job there. "And as far as I remember, the nurses there were all really nice, too."

"Oh, good! That's a relief! And the guidance counselor gave me a map, so I should be able to find the clinic just fine..."

She was going to be very dismayed about all the stairs.

"It sounds like you've got this well in hand then," Kathy said, giving Elli victory fingers. "Your roommate seem nice? And your big sibling helpful?"

"I think so! Alara, my roommate, was pleasant on the shuttle?" They hadn't really talked much but she'd been nice. "And my sibling is Astrid. She made the most lovely sign for me! It was absolutely covered with these gorgeous hand-drawn flowers..."

"That sounds lovely," Kathy said. "My roommate is still my dearest friend and even though we live far away, we're still close. And one of my old teachers ended up adopting me. This island can give you relationships that will change - and last - your whole life."
