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

[amitragic]

As was usually the case with these things, good weather was once more blessing the gathering of Fandom folk new and old. There was a bonfire, but it was mostly for decoration. And for s'mores, the makings of which were available at one of the nearby tables.

There was plenty of food, and there were tables and chairs set up all across the lawn (with light dustings of glitter where you least suspected it, naturally), and everything was ready for another welcome picnic!

[OCD 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!]

"Well, maybe he mistook the locations?" Tony ventured.

"Kermit has betrayed me."

It was possible there were many Muppets waiting anxiously, with popcorn, for a furious missive from Sam.

"It won't be that bad," Tony assured him. "It's actually very nice."

"Hmmpf. I would hope so. I was told it would not be weird. Is this a weird island?"

Poor Sam. And he hadn't even seen Beaker yet.

"...it is."

Look, it was really hard to sugarcoat that part!

Sam sighed. Sam would be sighing a lot this summer.

"Betrayed," he said again.

"Well, maybe thing will be calm for you?" Aaaaand he just jinxed Sam.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2021]

Tony, why would you say that out loud?

"We can only hope," he said. "My usual workplace is never calm. Despite my best efforts."

"If you need any help I'm always around," Tony assured him, then looked around to point out, "And my husband, Steve."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2021]

"Thank you for the offer." Tony seemed rather normal. This was fine. Everything would be fine. Until Sam learned that Steve was also known as Captain America and became a giant fanbird.

"Does your husband teach as well?" And is he weird, Tony? Or is he a nice wholesome fellow?

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2021]

[imafuturist]

Tony was perfectly normal! If you didn't dig too deep.

"We teach together. Normally politics or team-building, but for the summer we were doing something fun with paintball."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2021]

[but_mostly_america]

"Politics! Very adult and responsible of you!" Sam approved!

"Paintball, however, sounds very messy and unruly." It might even be ridiculous.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2021]

[imafuturist]

"Well, it's the summer! Best to have a bit of fun then." Also it was good for preparing for invasions.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2021]

[but_mostly_america]

Oh no, don't tell him about the invasions.

"Summer camp should be educational," Sam said primly. "Not fun."
