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!]

"You didn't get the potato salad, did you?" Shuri asked. "I think it has raisins in it, and that's disgusting."

Adora wasn't entirely sure what either of those were, but she poked at what she thought was potato salad, which seemed to be raisin free. "You're not just saying that because you want the potato salad?"

You didn't know the lengths people had been willing to go to when there was limited number of their preferred colour of ration bar.

"I do not want the potato salad," Shuri said. "I am not a fan of mayonnaise." She smiled. "Hi. I'm Shuri."

"Adora." Smile. Beat. "What's mayonnaise?"

"What's wrong with half the food here," Shuri commented dryly. "It's made of eggs and oil--the white stuff used to hold the salads all together over there."

She pointed to a bowl of potato salad.

"Huh, so that's what that's called." Adora rubbed some between her fingers, because her table manners were still somewhat dubious. "Feels different to the stuff in Bright Moon."

That's probably because Bright Moon only used eggs and oil.

"I had a cooking course here where it featured prominently," Shuri said with a shudder. "I don't recommend it."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2020]

Adora licked her fingers, because again, table manners were a work in progress. "I guess I can see how that might be a bit much."

Look, food preferences actually mattering was an even newer concept than table manners, or cutlery, or food that wasn't compressed protein slurry.

"If it was in moderation, perhaps," Shuri said, "but that wasn't really Summer's...thing."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2020]

[grayskollar]

"Are there even that many different ways to use it?" Adora knew she didn't know that much about cooking, but it only seemed to show up in a handful of ways.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2020]

"You would think not, but Summer opened my eyes to a number of frankly terrifying options," Shuri said.
