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!]

In general, probably, but Lana didn't bite. Instead, she deftly unwound the bandage, held her free hand a little above Sakaki's, then concentrated. Cold, faintly purple wisps of energy drifted down and sank into the wounds, knitting them together until her hand was entirely healed.

"There you go." She nodded. "Would you like me to heal your face, too? And I'd suggest staying away from nexu kits," she teased, because that was rather what those wounds looked like.

Eyes wide, mouth open in startled fascination, Sakaki let out a surprised gasp as she held up her hand in front of her face, turning it over to examine it from each side in complete and utter disbelief.

"You....you healed it!"

It was...it was like magic! Sakaki lifted her eyes back to Lana now, clearly rendered speechless with a sort of nervous awe.

Just wait until she found out her roommate was actually a wizard, too!

Lana nodded, a little amused at the shock, but trying to be gentle. "I healed it," she agreed. "It's something I can do, as Sith. I can do some other things, too, but I don't think anybody wants me calling lightning at the picnic. Should I heal your face?" she asked again.

Sakaki didn't really know what to say, because, while it would be nice to not start her new school year looking like she'd been sliced to ribbons by kittens, she also wouldn't want to take advantage of her big sibling's skills or anything.

And...and in a lot of the stories, wasn't there a sort of price to pay for magic? Granted, Sakaki could never bear to listen to any story that got too scary for too long, but that was definitely a recurring theme, so she shook her head.

"N-no," she said. "It's okay. It...it doesn't hurt much. But...thank you. That must be a...a very useful skill to have."

Said the girl who would be covered in bandages like this on the regular.

"It can be," Lana agreed. "If you change your mind, just let me know. Anyway, do you believe in the other worlds part yet? There's a few other things to get through, too, but if you can agree to that, that's probably the biggest obstacle."

"I...don't know," Sakaki said, after a moment, and that was an honest enough answer, really. "It's still kind of a new concept. It seems like a lot to wrap my head around."

Just a little bit ago, she could hardly believe that she got to hang out with an owl. Other worlds and people being from them was quite a leap, but there was also a good chance that Chiyo-chan's father was a mysterious, mystical talking cat, so...

...it wasn't entirely impossible, she supposed.

Lana nodded. "That's a good start, anyway. I do know it's a lot. You can always come to me with any questions. Do you know who you're rooming with yet?"
