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!

"Understood," Jon said. "Although the first week is generally introductions, so you might want to come just to meet the other students. We won't be doing anything too taxing, at any rate."

"I was teasing," she assured him with a smile. "I'm made of sterner stuff than that."

"Ah, okay." Jon nodded. "Glad to hear it, though I honestly wouldn't have judged you either way. Attendance policies here tend to be somewhat lax. You never know when someone will end up randomly turned into a bird or a plant or something for a week."

He let that sink in for a moment.

"I'm still not joking. Although honestly, spending time as a cat was wonderfully restful."

"I'll keep that in mind," Arden said, her brain having abruptly decided that it was going to refuse to take in any more of this until she'd had a few minutes to rest and WTF at everything. "Well, assuming that I'm not a cat or a bird or a potted plant, I'll see you on Monday sir."

Good lord. Forget the sweet tea, she needed a goddamn Waffle House.

"I'll see you then," Jon agreed. "And please, Mr. Sims is fine; there's no need for 'sir'."
