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!]

"Derry?" Nell asked. "Is that on this planet or another one?"

"It's in Northern Ireland?" Clare said.

"Oh," Nell said, remembering some of the things she'd read. "The place with the Troubles? That must have been a hard place to be."

"Well," Clare said, shrugging a little, "it's what I grew up knowing? The Orangemen parades are so incredibly loud and it's incredibly annoying to be late to school because they have to disarm the bomb someone put on the bridge, and sometimes there's graffiti on your flat that looks more like spatulas than rifles?"

"Does... do they have to do that often?" Nell asked. "I think I'd be scared to go to school if that happened."

She paused for a moment. "Spatulas?"

"Och, they just send the wee robot out after it and make it explode," Clare said. "It's a nuisance more than anything else. And the Provos are good at the...you know, gun running and all that but the are not great artists, on the main."

"That actually sounds rather interesting, watching a robot go explode something," Nell said. "We don't have anything like that where we're from and I'm pretty sure the church elders would frown on robots doing work."

"Would they rather people risk their lives?" Clare asked, frowning hard.

"They're not very approving of most technology," Nell said. "So probably, yes. They'd think if you died that it was God's will or that you'd done something bad to deserve it."
