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

It was unseasonably warm in Fandom today, which was good news for anyone who didn't want to have to worry about bundling up, and bad news for anyone hoping for a snowy picnic. Traditions were traditions though, so there was still a bonfire going and plenty of supplies for s'mores and hot chocolate among the variety of foods and drinks that had been prepared for the new folks.

Once everything was set up and un-tasteful amounts of glitter had been brushed off of everything, it was time to be welcoming!

Steph had wandered up toward the school just to check it out, since apparently there were newbies today and it was a whole thing, and she wanted a glimpse of how weird this castle-for-a-school with its totally non-standard curriculum might possibly be.

So far it was pretty much the total opposite of how she remembered all the start of the term stuff at Blackwell used to go.

Though speaking of which, was she actually seeing a Blackwell Academy logo on one of the kids' shirts?

Was that her Blackwell drama department shirt? She couldn't remember seeing it in with the rest of the clean laundry today, come to think of it.

"Hey," she called, frowning slightly as she started in Vi's direction. "Totally idle question, but... where'd you get that shirt?"

She couldn't entirely rule out the possibility that the kid was actually a transplant from some wacky-future-timeline version of Arcadia Bay, thanks, Fandom.

It figured, the day Vi was having today, but she could still bluff it out.

"This old thing?" She winked, because hey, might as well distract the cute girl. "Just had it lying about."

This tack might have worked better if the shirt wasn't a size too small. Vi's jacket was probably looking very familiar right now too.

Aw, baby gays were adorable. Steph smirked faintly -- sorry, Vi, the wink wasn't going to work but hey, respect for the technique.

"Weird, it looks a lot like one I just had 'lying about,' but I couldn't find it this morning? Love the jacket, by the way."

Hey, just give Vi time, she'd been well on the way to wearing Sevika down before she'd turned out to be a filthy traitor (she hadn't been, at all).

"Huh, funny coincidence that." This wasn't going great, but she hadn't immediately started yelling for the enforcers, so it wasn't going terrible either. "Yeah, I kinda like it too."

"Not everybody can pull that look off." Steph sounded kind of like she approved, actually.

In her time in the Seattle queer punk scene she'd run across a few stray teenagers who were trying to escape some bad situation or other, which was vaguely along the lines of the vibe she was getting here. Hell, she couldn't even be mad about it.

"Kinda crazy that someone else with that shirt turns up in this tiny-ass place. I'd ask how the drama department is doing these days, but I doubt I'd know any of the people there now."

Yeah, she knew what had happened to her stuff, but this was just amusing now.

Well, a stray teen escaping a bad situation wasn't an inaccurate assessment.

"Thanks." That got a small, genuine smile from Vi. "You know drama kids, they're always dramatic." She was going to find that a lot less funny when she realised she was in Anakin's class

"But, hey, I'm sure your shirt'll turn up somewhere. Eventually." She was sure there were plenty of less cool people on this island careless enough to leave their clothes where she could find them.

"I'm not that attached to it anyway," Steph said with a knowing grin. "If it turns up, cool, but if not, whatever."

Vi rolled her shoulders and leaned back against the table. "Name's Vi. You a student here too?"

It wasn't like she had any idea how long people were supposed to attend this school.

Steph burst out laughing for a second. Sorry, Vi.

"Hell no. School days are long behind me." By like five years, but who was counting? "I'm Steph. I run a store in town, I just wanted to come check out the picnic, score some free food, y'know."

"I thought the same thing," Vi said. "But when I tried for the free food they made me a student, so you should probably watch out."

"I don't think that's gonna --" Steph paused. "Actually, not going to rule that out here, come to think of it. So wait, you didn't actually come here intending to be a student?"

Considering the kid reminded her a bit of Chloe, Steph was guessing probably not.

"I didn't even mean to come here," Vi said. "Not entirely sure how it happened."

"I've heard that happens to various degrees," Steph told her. "So are you gonna try and stick it out for a bit, see how that goes given your shiny new student status?"

"According to Illyana this isn't even my world." And she doubted it was as easy to find portals 'just lying around' as hoodies. "So I don't really have much of a choice."

And wasn't that a kick in teeth breaking out of Stillwater only to find herself trapped here, no matter how nicer a trap is was.
