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!]

She let out a half-bitter/half-hysterical laugh. "Cinder is psychopathic bitch who was backing the crime lord of Vale City who almost killed Ruby. She pretended to be our friend, set me up to be framed for assault, directly murdered two of my friends, caused the attack on my school, took out the CCT -- the interkingdom communications system that also connects to Fandom -- and is responsible for everything terrible that happened."

Well, at least as far as Yang was aware.

Yang sighed, and just looked really tired. "It's been a weird, really long two years, Prompto."

Yeaaaah, all of that definitely did seem to make intercepting text messages and phone calls pretty small potatoes, comparatively, didn't it?

Prompto winced a little, frowning deeply as he started to rub the back of his neck, head ducked as he shifted his weight awkwardly. "Yeah, it...that, uh...sounds like kind of an understatement."

And he was probably....not helping with lessening that weird, long feeling right now, either, he bet...

"I'm..."

He what? Was he just going to say he was sorry again? Like that would help? Was he going to tell her that he was there for her if she needed him, like that would help? What he wanted to do was, like, hug her, or something, try to make things at least a little better, but there was a good chance that if he tried, all he would do was make it even worse.

"Do you...need to....talk about it, or anything?"

Yeah, right, Prompto, that was exactly what she wanted to do, talk about it with a person she apparently thought had been ignoring her for two years! Good suggestion! You were just amazing at this!
