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

[bigdamnprincipal]

As the heat continued to bear down on the lawn, many of the tables and chairs were set up in the spots where there was shade, so no one got overheated or anything. That would be very rude for the first day in Fandom, after all.

[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!]

"What on Earth happened to your hair?"

That came out a little judgey.

"Erm. What a fun shade of pink!" Tahani tried again.

"Nuclear accident right next door to my hair salon. Thousands dead. More scarred for life. I'm lucky this is all that happened to me," Maeve deadpanned.

"How terrible!" Tahani said, all faux-concern. "Was there a benefit concert?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2020]

[complexfemale]

Oh good. She already had found doofy Jackson, this was obviously the new Ruby.

"No."

"Sir Elton should be ashamed of himself," Tahani decided. "I'm Tahani al-Jamil. Welcome to...here. Did you know you were coming here?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2020]

[complexfemale]

"Yes?" Maeve said, tilting her head. "Why?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2020]

"Oh, sometimes people freak out," Tahani told her. "They get confused about the year--" her, "--having a roommate--" also her, "--people who look like rats--" still her, "you know. The usual."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2020]

"My roommate's a cat person. So."

Having a hard time wrapping her brain about that one.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2020]

"Mae?" Tahani asked, "or is there another one?"

Please, please don't let there be another one.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2020]

[complexfemale]

"Yep," she said, and sighed when she said, "I'm Maeve."

She was going to get mixed up with a talking cat.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2020]

[sexy_giraffe]

"That is unfortunate," Tahani said, wrinkling her nose up.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2020]

[complexfemale]

"It'll be fine."

Maeve was going to keep telling herself that.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2020]

[sexy_giraffe]

"How comfortable are you being known as 'Not the cat girl'?" Tahani asked.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2020]

[complexfemale]

"Go with Maeve." There would be no other option.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2020]

"I'll try, but it might be difficult," Tahani said. "I'm on the radio and I've already reduced two men named Steve to Tattoos and Pecs. In my defense, they are extremely dishy."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2020]

[complexfemale]

See Maeve's eyebrows? See them going just way up? These were the eyebrows of a person with an actual name.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2020]

"You try explaining what two Steves do while being harrassed by squirrels," harrumphed Tahani, who was not drunk, she swore.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2020]

[complexfemale]

"There's a rodent problem, too?"

Eh. Couldn't be worse than having an asbestos bathroom. In theory.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2020]

[sexy_giraffe]

"They are extremely nosy, the squirrels," Tahani told her, "and the woodchucks have very good aim."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2020]

[complexfemale]

"...Wait, what the hell are you talking about?"

Wayne had known his warnings would be of no help today. This was all new territory.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2020]

[sexy_giraffe]

"The squirrels that take notes on our every action and I am not crazy," Tahani said in one breath.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2020]

[complexfemale]

Was that weirder than the airplane guy or the cat roommate? Unsure.

"Why?"

That was still an important question.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2020]

[sexy_giraffe]

"Why am I not crazy?" Tahani asked. "I don't know. Honestly, this entire place has been a trial."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2020]

[complexfemale]

"Why would squirrels- and we're just going to go with that right now- care what we do?" Maeve corrected.

Then there was the question about opposable thumbs!

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2020]

[sexy_giraffe]

"I have absolutely no idea," Tahani confessed. "They are enormous gossips."
