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

[bigdamnprincipal]

There were plenty of chairs and tables by the bonfire, and some further out on the lawn for anyone who might want to enjoy their food alone, or just gaze at the new folks and try to figure them out. All of these potential activities were valid!

[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!]

"No?" Ulysses asked, raising his eyebrows. "But it's so obvious."

A beat.

"And you're so approachable, you'd think people would try out nicknames on you all the time." Yeah he didn't actually think that.

"I hate you and I will recruit the gremlins to put slimy things in your bed."

Yes, that was that famously warm personality of her shining through.

"...my brother and his friends would call me 'Yana when I was little, but it's been awhile since anyone used it." She wasn't saying Uly couldn't call her Illy (or Yana)... which was as close as giving permission as she was going to do in public. That veered too close to emotional vunerability.

"Yana," Ulysses repeated, nodding. Then gave a little shrug. "Huh. I like it."

And because he knew better than to poke at that more --

"Anyway, sorry to those gremlins, they might find slimy things already in my bed." Gross, Uly.

"Gross, Uly," Illyana complained. "I don't need to know that."

Because when the narrative was right, it was right.

Ulysses shrugged, not exactly apologetic. "Julius is back," he said, like that explained something. He sighed. "He wants to sit next to me in Career Development."

And so Uly was back on his bullshit, and he knew it, but couldn't help himself.

[gospel_of_oblivion]

"Ulyyyyyyyy." So back on his bullshit, from what little she knew about it, but that was all she'd say to comment on it.

"I'm a little disappointed you're not in sex ed with me, it would have been entertaining."

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2021]

[amitragic]

Ulysses scoffed, grateful to sidestep all his bullshit for now. "Please. I do not need to see what this place does with sex ed."
