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

Whatever aspect of the island made sure the weather was nice on picnic day didn't seem to be able to control the temperature. It wasn't freezing, but it would definitely more comfortable out on the lawn with a coat on. Thankfully, the conditions were just right for a bonfire in the center of the lawn, so people could gather and stay warm once they'd made their introductions.

Once the tables and chairs were set up and everything was properly glittered, all that was needed were people!

[OCD is up! 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!]

Wei Wuxian was determined to be a great big brother. He drew a sign that said BELLE in his best English lettering and decorated it with lotus flowers and (since there was still room) a bunny. He also packed a small gift bag to introduce his new little sister to some local treats - a bottle of tequila, with margarita mix, a bag of Flaming Hot Cheetos, and five glitter talismans (his own invention).

He stood by the sibling meet area and held up the sign. He wore his usual black and red robes and had his flute tucked in his belt.

Belle hadn't been expecting much of what was occurring today. She certainly hadn't expected this new school to assign her a sibling, of all things. But this particular designated brother was holding a lovely sign which she thought boded well.

"I'm Belle," she said as she approached. "Hello."

"Belle! Hello!" He bowed to her politely. "This one is Wei Ying, courtesy name Wuxian. I've been assigned to be your 'big brother'." He handed her the bag. "Here are some local treats. The glitter talismans are my invention. If you throw them, there's a glitter explosion. You can only use them once, but you can ask me if you want more. Where are you from?"

Oh, and he bowed! So polite! Not a bit like the boy she'd met earlier today. That was a relief. One of those was plenty.

"Thank you, Wuxian." Belle said the name carefully, hoping the pronunciation was correct. "This is very thoughtful. Are glitter explosions something that happens often here?"

Oh, she had no idea.

"Wei Wuxian," he corrects lightly. "Glitter, and other things. It's a very unusual place. People come from many different worlds and different times and many strange things happen. Do you know what classes you're taking?"

"Wei Wuxian," Belle amended. "What sorts of strange things happen? Should I be worried? I don't think I have a list of classes yet."

"Have you heard of dinosaurs?" Wei Wuxian asked. "One teacher had us turn into them for a lesson."

"Your teacher turned you into things?" That certainly qualified as strange. "Is he a wizard or a sorcerer?"

"A scientist," Wei Wuxian said. "It's sort of like a wizard or sorcerer, but they use a different kind of power. Most of the things here run on science. You'll get used to it."

"I hope so," Belle said. She'd been arguing about magic versus science earlier with that rude boy. She really hoped he wasn't going to turn out to have been correct about everything. "But he truly turned you into a creature?"

"Well, he turned other students into creatures. I took notes. That's part of science," he explained. Also part of demonic cultivation. It's a good thing no one was likely to read those detailed instructions for dark magic that he'd left back in his cave. Someone could do terrible things with that information.
