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

With classes starting up in a few days, it was time to welcome in the new semester in the best way possible--with warm, tasty food and thankfully decent weather. The sun was shining and it was just warm enough to suggest that spring might really be around the corner. If nothing else, it was pre-gaming for whatever New Year's Eve shenanigans might happen later!

[No OCD threads! It's a free-for-all! Happy New Year!]

"It's..." Portals. Not one of your standard English words. "...magic?" TJ finished, shrugging.

Something like alarm flashed across Amicia's face. "Bad… magic?"

This would have been an excellent moment for her to know better English.

"No, no!" TJ held up her hands. "Good magic! Or at least not bad. Usually good, sometimes...annoying? Not useful? But not evil."
amicia_the_amazon: (amicia: solid)

"No one is sick?"

She had to ask.

"From this."

TJ blinked. "Not that I've ever heard of. I mean, people probably get colds sometimes, but not from the portals. There's nothing going around now that I know of."
amicia_the_amazon: (amicia: speaking with care)

Amicia's shoulders relaxed, sinking a fraction further down. "Good," she said. "Good. So I am here because. Magic?"

"Probably," TJ said. "It's a good place, though. Fun. Good people. Food." She nodded toward the tables. "Weird here. Because of magic. Good, but weird. Strange?"

She gave up and took out her phone, because this part was important. She did a quick search.

"Bizarre! C'est bizarre ici." Yes, her accent sucked. She was trying, okay?
amicia_the_amazon: (amicia: full)

[personal profile] amicia_the_amazon 2023-01-02 09:42 am (UTC)(link)
"C'est bizarre," Amicia echoed, dubiously. Though even that emotion felt like a shadow of itself.

She just didn't have it in herself to be overly concerned or shocked.

"You'll learn," TJ said encouragingly. "Maybe I'll learn French." She typed something more into her phone and read out haltingly, "Bienvenue sur Fandom."
amicia_the_amazon: (amicia: quiet)

[personal profile] amicia_the_amazon 2023-01-02 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"Fandom," Amicia echoed slowly. "In America."

[personal profile] scarlet_and_indigo 2023-01-02 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"Fandom in America," TJ agreed. "Do you want to eat, or sit down? Or we could find your room."
amicia_the_amazon: (amicia: just breathe)

[personal profile] amicia_the_amazon 2023-01-02 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"My room?" Amicia echoed.
scarlet_and_indigo: (Default)

[personal profile] scarlet_and_indigo 2023-01-02 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
TJ nodded. "Everybody gets a room. There, that building." She pointed at the dorm.
amicia_the_amazon: (amicia: battered (inside and out))

[personal profile] amicia_the_amazon 2023-01-02 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"How did they--" She looked up at the abbey, and the building beside it the blue woman had just pointed at. "How?"

"Know you were coming?" TJ shrugged. "I don't know. But it means you have a place to live, right?"
