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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Good weather had fallen over Fandom this morning, so the picnic conditions were looking fantastic. The bonfire was there for good measure, along with the makings of s'mores, because it was almost truly summer, right?

There was plenty of food, and there were tables and chairs set up all across the lawn with varying degrees of glitter stuck to them. Everything was ready for another welcome picnic!

[OCD-free! Welcome the new folks gently! Or not!]

"Of music," Jack said.

Oh, hey, he suddenly sounded very amused.

Look, it wasn't her fault Jack was out here using archaic terminology.

"And you're worried about being weird about it because...?" Because no, his first answer hadn't actually helped.

"I'm... putting my own music into the world and people are actually listening to it?" Jack offered. "I mean, I realize you've never worried about what anyone thought about anything a day in your life, but some of us normies worry about that kind of thing."

"Well, darling, there's your first mistake," Liliana said with a laugh. "Giving a damn about what other people think. If you wouldn't trust them to help you pick out shoes, why in Gaea's name would you care about their opinions on anything important?"

"Hubris and really bad luck with the brain chemistry lottery," Jack said casually. "... Anyway, I'm in a rock band. Hence the record. Don't clap."

"Wasn't planning on it," Liliana said. "Though I would listen to this record of yours if you sent it along. Unless you'd rather I didn't, so you don't have to fear my opinion."

"You know, I think I can handle yours," Jack said, pulling out his phone as he shot her a wry look. "At least I know that if you cut me down, I'll just be one of many."

"Aww, darling, you say the sweetest things," Liliana said, giving him a merry smile while she pulled her phone out as well.

"Not usually, you just have a really weird idea of what a compliment is," Jack said easily. "Number?"
