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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Whoever worked the weather magic around here had done an excellent job to make sure things were nice outside for all the new (and old) residents of Fandom. It was warm and sunny, but not so humid that people would melt. There was plenty of moddable food and drinks, places to sit in the shade, and more than enough nametags to go around. It was time to celebrate the start of the summer!

Spider-Man would be at a total loss with the lack of muggers around here.

"Like your ex from a different universe showing up," he suggested.

"Well, you turned out to be nice, all the awkwardness about--" She just gestured between them. "--aside. I'd be pretty happy to be your buddy."

Awww.

"Yes, I know that was so very cheesy."

"I'm happy to be your buddy, too," Don told her. Regardless of the weirdness, which he did not yet realize was so much more weird for him than for Jane.

Of course, that balance could change.

They could pass that ball back and forth! It'd be great.

"Let me give you my number in case you have any questions or need help with your class, okay?" Jane said with a quick smile.

"That would be great," Don agreed. "I've never taught before, you know...or maybe you don't." Weird. "But I'll get you my number, too." And, of course, Thor's, once he'd gotten a phone set up.

"I've taught here for a little bit," Jane agreed, entering in her number for him. "And of course back home, but that was mostly post-grad level stuff."

Which the other Jane did, right? Right?

Re: Meet Your Buddies!

"Oh, yeah? What do you teach?" Seemed kind of weird they wanted him to come in to teach first aid when they already had Jane on staff, now that he thought about it.

Wait, hadn't she mentioned a doctorate? Like a PhD?

"Here? It's arts and crafts this semester," she said dryly. "Which is a far cry from theoretical astrophysics, but I'm trying all kinds of new things lately."

Re: Meet Your Buddies!

[ifwebeworthy]

"'Theoretical astrophysics?'" Don echoed. "Oh, wow. Back where I come from you were an MD. Actually, when we were dating, you were a nurse, and then you went back to school and...doesn't matter," he decided. "Different person. Haven't seen her in...a very long time." Because he'd been dead, but, you know. Details.

Hey, they could bond over not existing for a while there! Fun times!

"I thought about being a nurse when I was a kid," Jane offered softly, thinking about her mother in the hospital back then. "I dated my Donald back in post-grad before... a lot of things in my life changed trajectory."

Mostly due to Thor.

Such a fun club!

"I don't remember you ever talking about theoretical astrophysics as an interest," Don said, "but I guess a lot of things are just...different." Oh, you have no idea, buddy.

Re: Meet Your Buddies!

[needsacatchphrase]

"How about we get a drink after your first class and we can figure those out," Jane suggested.

Re: Meet Your Buddies!

"That sounds like a great plan," he agreed. "I'll be looking forward to it."
