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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Even if a new term wasn't starting soon, today would be the perfect day for a picnic. The weather was calm and warm, the food table was full, and there was a respectable amount of glitter on the decorations. There might have been a bigger party going on somewhere else, but here it was time to celebrate the start of summer!

Kurt was used to stares. Stares were better than yelling n chasing out of town and being attacked. So Kurt counted it a win already.

Kurt grinned and returned the handshake, and sorry for the slight awkwardness there, Eleanor... Three fingers were a little hard to meld with five easily.

"Nice to meet you, Eleanor. Have you had a good time here on the island so far?"

[what_big_teeth]

It was a little bit awkward, that was true, but it was also somewhat...comforting, Kurt's hand not really fitting perfectly in hers. In an odd sort of way.

"Well," she said, "I've only just gotten here, but it's been nice so far."

No one throwing rocks. No need to push anyone down stairs.

And there were a lot of those.

Her eyes drifted a little bit, all around her.

"It's a beautiful island," she said, "and the school's really a castle, isn't it? Kind of an upgrade from my last boarding school."

In a few ways, really.

How different would things be, if she'd have gone here first, instead of St. Brigid's?

[furrybluefreak]

Yes. So...many...stairs! Just one of the things that gave the island it's charm.

"Ah, I remember the bus ride from the airport when I first started," Kurt said with a small, fond smile. "It's a really nice place here. Most people are really really nice. I mean, back home, I was getting things thrown at me, chased out of town, and having angry mobs after me. But, here.... it's been almost perfect really."

The smile on Eleanor's face was a sympathetic one; she never had it quite that bad at St. Brigid's, at least.

...until, all of a sudden, she did.

But she was trying not to focus on that right now, especially since, well...apparently, she'd found herself perfectly placed in a school for other freaks.

"Almost perfect?" she asked, that sympathetic smile gaining maybe a little bit of an amused edge.

"Well, the island can be a bit.. odd at times. But that seems to be the island itself, more than the people here" Kurt said. Had anyone told her about the Fandom oddness yet? Cuz oh boy that was always a fun conversation to have with the newbies. "Nothing ever too dangerous, recent were-creature invasion not considered, but yeah, it can be a little strange at times with so many people from so many different places and times and realities..."

[what_big_teeth]

Well, it all depends on wibbly-wobbly timelines between threads, really.

"I don't..." Eleanor started, then hesitated, then tried again, "I don't really mind were-creatures...."

She bit her lip a little, considering Kurt very, very carefully, but she was talking to a fuzzy blue boy with a tail. She hadn't had a good track record lately with knowing who to trust, though, so maybe she shouldn't mention it to one of the first people she talked to right out the gate?

"Things can get a little strange where I'm from, too."

[furrybluefreak]

"Then you already have a head start on some of the people who come here" Kurt said with a grin. "If you are used to things being a bit odd and strange, then you should fit right in, no problem! And summer term is a great time to start classes too. There are some really fun-sounding ones this first session!"
