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

[bigdamnprincipal]

If anyone in Fandom could control the weather, they weren't doing a particularly good job with it today. It was quite hot and sticky outside, so the lawn was filled with as many pop-up tents as could be acquired to provide some well-needed shade. There were plenty of cool drinks and moddable food that would hopefully survive the heat--it might not have felt like summer would be ending any time soon, but it was time to celebrate the coming fall nonetheless!

[Flying OCD-free! Have at it and stay cool!]

"Yep, Danhurst College, class of '83. Got my BW!" He waved his pennant, even though it an FU one, not a DC one. "Not sure what I'll study this time. Maybe art history? I know it doesn't pay much, but I can always fall back on my plumbing empire."

[wildgalegirl]

"What's a BW?" Charlie asked. "But hey, you have a plumbing empire? That's seriously impressive. I mean everybody needs their plumbing to work!"

[professionalweirdo]

"Bachelors of Whatever."

Of course.

"And yeah! Plumbing makes the world go round, you know? But my true passion is performance art. That's what makes the world worth living in!"

[wildgalegirl]

Must be an American thing, Charlie thought.

"Yes!" Charlie did a fist pump. "I'm a musician myself."

[professionalweirdo]

Sure. Tell yourself that, Charlie.

"Oh yeah? What do you play?"

[wildgalegirl]

She swung her guitar around so he could see it. "Guitar mostly, but I'm not bad on my mandolin either. And I sing, but I'm better at playing."

[professionalweirdo]

"That's great! I do lots of singing, too. And play the trumpet. But mostly I like to set feats of unusual strength and cunning to classical works. Just to bring a bit of culture to the world, you know?"

[wildgalegirl]

"I would love to see one of your performances sometime," she said.

Oh, Charlie!

[professionalweirdo]

“Really?!” Gonzo fairly beamed. “Wow! No one’s ever excited to see them! I’ll have to come up with something extra special!”

[wildgalegirl]

"Awesome," Charlie said with a grin. "I'm sure my friend Graham and his trusty steed, Triumph, will be happy to see it as well!"

Oh, Charlie
