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!]

"Unfortunately, yes." A thought occurred to him. "But the mask holds in that part of you?" He reached up to tap at the mask and see if he could feel that, too.

People reaching for his mask without warning rarely ended well, in Stark's experience. It usually led to the mask being ripped off. He tensed, flinching just a little. He didn't think Bob was planning anything unpleasant but he'd been wrong before.

"It's just metal," he said. "Fabric can work. Not as well, not for as long."

Bob reached out a tentative finger, and carefully poked...the mask! And grinned and poked it again. And again, giddily, before clearing his throat and straightening up. "It works! I have to know what kind of metal that is. Was it enchanted in some way? Or are there some sort of runes or circuitry in it that make it work?"

Bob was excited now.

"No magic." Stark shook his head, reaching his hand up to touch the buckle at his neck. "No circuits. Just metal. I don't know what kind, I didn't make it. Wouldn't know how. I don't know why it works it just works. Much better than fabric does, or leather."

"Oo, could we..." Bob grimaced. "Well, you can't take it off. Is there some way of testing it, finding out more about it? If I could have a glove of that, I could move things about! Or even a stick, just to poke things."

He was wistful now, and still thinking.

Also still holding that hand.

"I need it," Stark said quickly, just in case Bob was thinking of doing something rash like trying to have it melted down. "There's the blacksmith. She might be able to tell? Or...I don't know who."

He paused, glancing down. "I'll need the hand, too. Eventually."

"Oh, I wouldn't deprive you of it," Bob assured him. Even if he really wanted to. "But we could try the blacksmith, then?" he asked hopefully.

He clutched Stark's hand for another moment, then sighed and reluctantly gave it up. He couldn't exactly drag him around everywhere, he supposed.

Stark didn't generally enjoy being dragged, no.

"We could ask her," he agreed. He'd considered the idea of a spare mask, in any case, after last Halloween's incident. "But it might be me. Not the mask. That lets you touch it."

And you weren't allowed to make anything out of Stark, Bob. He'd been experimented on enough, thanks.
