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!]

Yeah, meanwhile Miguel was trying his best not to zone out halfway through that. One thing did stick out, though.

"It's only been a few years here, not thirty," he mentioned in case Sidon didn't know that yet. "If you were friends with someone, they might still be here."

"Yes," Sidon agreed with a bit of a laugh, "I did rather notice that! It seemed a bit odd, that while time has passed for me, everyone seems to have remained relatively the same. It's very common, for a Zora to not change much in what most people consider a long amount of time, but I know it doesn't work that way with humans! That'll take some adjustment, I should think, but I don't suppose it's the strangest thing to happen!"

It did, however, move his canon along nicely.

"Yeah?" Miguel asked. "What stranger has gone on?"

...oops. He was going to get another book-long reply, wasn't he? Well, at least it should be interesting.

Actually...

"Now there's a question I'd expect any well-seasoned veteran of this fair isle to be able to answer well enough for himself!" Sidon remarked with a jovial laugh and a pump of his fist, before his arms opened up expressively. "I should say I wouldn't even know where to begin on something like that; all we'd need to do is surely wait a few weeks, and we'll have lived through yet another example! I daresay, though, I do worry a bit for the fact that I am looking forward to my first bewildering bout of Fandom Weirdness in a while!"

"Oh, I thought you meant strange back home," Miguel said. "We just had strange before graduation, so it'll probably be a while till the next big strange. Nobody's turned into anything odd in a while, though, so we might be up for one of those."

Yeah, no, nothing exciting or strange was happening in Hyrule any time soon. Just sitting around, hoping the Calamity didn't break past the spell and destroy the whole world, that's all!

Well, at least until a tiny Guardian transports him back into the past to fight beside his dead sister, anyway...like you do!

There was all kinds of timeline screwing nonsense going on up in here lately!

"Oh, I do hope whatever it is is something exciting!" Sidon gushed. "I've missed that old Fandom something-new-around-every-turn thrill!"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2021]

[what_the_shock]

Right. "Yeah, you'll get along just fine. What are you teaching?" Miguel asked.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2021]

[in_sidon_we_trust]

"Underwater Basket Weaving!" Sidon announced proudly. "And Other Aquatic Arts!"

Yes, he was completely serious.

And very clearly excited.

"And what about yourself? What fantastic class will you be adding to this summer's extensive and educational roster?"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2021]

It was good that Sidon asked that; it saved Miguel simply standing there with his mouth open at Sidon's own class.

"Science," he answered. "Trying to get some of my home's inventions to catch on here."
