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!

[We're going OCD-free! Have at it!]

"'20th Century Food Crimes' this time. Summer's idea," Stark said, unnecessarily.

"Don't suppose you mean the kind of crime that's about someone trying to steal too many cakes?" Steven asked, ever hopeful.

[stykera]

Forty cakes, Steven? Because that would be terrible. That's as many as four tens!

"No. No stealing of cakes." Stark shook his head.

[hasaknightjob]

"So the other type of crime then?" Steven said. He was starting to remember the words "maggot cheese."

[stykera]

Some things were best left in the past, Steven.

"The other type," Stark confirmed. "Are you taking any of the workshops?"

[hasaknightjob]

"Lana's actually," Steven said. "She's invited Marc and me to come visit her home before but we've never managed to make it work. So bit excited about getting the official tour from her now. You?"

[stykera]

"Blacksmithing with Amaya."

Gotta work on those arms, you know.

"And paintball, of course. And...The Floor is Lava?"

[hasaknightjob]

Steven jumped, because it was Fandom after all. Then he realized. "Oh - is that a class?"

[stykera]

They were outside, Steven. There was no floor!

"It is. And then I have my class with Summer. So I'll keep a little busier, for the summer."

[hasaknightjob]

Floor could mean many things! Especially around here!

"And the class - not actual lava, is it?" Steven asked, just to be sure.

[stykera]

"Not that I know of. The school tries not to kill students. Even in the summer."

[hasaknightjob]

Not even on Wednesdays?

"That's good then," Steven said. "And good you're keeping busy. I've my eye out for things for Marc to do. He might pop in on Lana's trips, so that's something. But he needs more. I was chatting about that with Summer the other day, actually. You know her and her good advice."

[stykera]

If Anakin killed people he wouldn't be able to torment them later!

"She does give good advice," Stark said with a fond smile.

"I know he's been at the gym getting his stickers from Gladio. Does he want more things to do?"

[hasaknightjob]

"Well there's the problem right there, isn't it?" Steven said. "Hard to get him to go out and do things at all, let alone enjoy them. And now he's down one since the diner's burnt. I mean - bad for the diner as well, of course. Not saying Marc's having the worst of it."

Or poor Llewellyn, with his missing Tuesday lunch now.

"But that's what Summer helped me realize," Steven said. "Marc's got things he does, yeah. But things that he wants to do? Don't know that we've found that for him yet."
