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

[amitragic]

The good weather seemed to last throughout the day, but the bonfire was there to help with all your s'more needs all the same, much like all the other offerings of the food and drink tables.

Or maybe you just wanted to sit under a tree and judge people from afar. That was cool, too.

[OCD 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!]

"I never went to a real school before I came here, so I wouldn't know," Nell said, sitting down with her plate. "I'm Nell, by the way. Welcome to Fandom."

"Thank you," Sakaki nodded her head in greeting. "I'm Sakaki. It's very nice to meet you."

She considered her food for a moment before asking the other girl, "Do you like it here?"

"Nice to meet you, Sakaki," Nell said with a smile. "And yes, I do like it here. It can be weird and scary sometimes, but it's a good place, with good people."

She looked down at her plate. "And lots of food."

Sakaki hummed a small sound of agreement about the food, although she'd really been a little too nervous about everything to eat much of it.

But she did take a bite of something small just then, if only because she didn't really know what else to say.

Socializing was never really her strong suit but she was trying!

This...this was her trying.

"It's very good food," she finally offered.

See? She managed to get something!

"It is," Nell said. "And it's okay if you'un just want to eat quietly. I know I kind of shoved my way in here. I can be kinda shy myself."

Sakaki looked down again as if to focus on the next few bites of food, because now she didn't know if she really should just keep eating in silence or if that was considered rude here, but since Nell said it was okay, she did just keep eating quietly.

It had been a very long day, and she was just sort of holding out as long as she could until she could go and get settled in her room, get out some of her plushies, snuggle in and get some much needed sleep.

She was thinking...Neco Coneco, obviously, and probably Shibi-chan, Kaeruppi-kun, Neko-neko-san....Maybe she could find an owl plushie somewhere, too, in honor of Hedwig, and then Hedwig and the owl plushie could be friends, too! But until then, Chirp-chirp would do...

Sorry, Nell. Very important arrangements were being made in Sakaki's head at the moment.

Nell was fine with the silence. She finished up her plate and smiled at Sakaki. "Before I go, do you'un have any questions about this place? I know it can be a bit overwhelming."

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2021]

That seemed....like a significant understatement. Sakaki looked at Nell for a moment, finishing her current bite of food before she decided she could at least give something a try.

"Are you...from this world?"

It sounded a little ridiculous, if she was honest, but she was a little curious about what the other girl might say.

Nell chuckled. "I am. And I'm even from pretty near the same year, but some people probably feel like I've come from a different planet or at least a different time because of where I grew up."
