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

[bigdamnprincipal]

So, it wasn't Fall yet by a long shot. The temperatures were still high, the leaves were still green, and the calendar still said August. But the calendar of consumerism didn't care about reality and thus, the welcome picnic was decorated for fall. The tables were covered in reds, oranges, and yellows, there was apple cider in the punch bowls and, of course, if the food on the table could come in pumpkin spice form, it was here in pumpkin spice form.

Enjoy your basic seasonal welcome picnic, everyone!

"Their almond croissants are amazing," Steve admitted readily.

"Yeah, you're gonna need to order extra of those. For the big guy." He figured that his not meaning Bruce would be obvious from context clues.

"I'll add it to the order," Steve said. "Do you have any requests?"

Re: Mingle Time

[ifwebeworthy]

"I mean, I also wouldn't say no to an almond croissant." Fancy that. "I just can't eat so many." He had but one normal human stomach, Steve.

Re: Mingle Time

Steve laughed. "I ate so many almond croissants," he admitted.

"Of course you did," Don agreed. "And I'd bet some of those pain au chocolats too, even if they did need more chocolate."

Re: Mingle Time

[heroic_jawline]

"How could I tell they needed more chocolate unless I tried them?" Steve agreed. "We even found a place that sold those weird creampuffs stacked on top of each other that they pretend look like nuns!"

Steve was probably 50 percent butter by volume right now.

Re: Mingle Time

And the other 50% was patriotism.

"I don't know what you're talking about but I'm willing to learn."

Re: Mingle Time

"I took a picture," Steve said proudly, holding out his phone. "Then I ate their little nun heads."

Re: Mingle Time

[ifwebeworthy]

"You're such a good Catholic boy, Ste--Oh, I want those."

Re: Mingle Time

"Sometimes they have coffee cream inside," Steve said with an eager smile. "They're so good."

Re: Mingle Time

[ifwebeworthy]

"And you didn't bring me one back?" That was hurtful, Steve. Don wanted to eat a weird nun pastry full of coffee cream.

Re: Mingle Time

[heroic_jawline]

"They don't really travel that well," Steve said. "I'll get Tony to work on a nun box."

Re: Mingle Time

[ifwebeworthy]

"You're not," Don said, and then paused, trying to say this delicately. No, screw it, too important to not have clarity on. "You're not going to let Tony make the pastries, are you?"

Re: Mingle Time

[heroic_jawline]

Steve burst out laughing. "No, Tony doesn't get to make these. He can make Pop Tarts."

Re: Mingle Time

[ifwebeworthy]

"As long as there's a fire extinguisher around."

Re: Mingle Time

[heroic_jawline]

"JARVIS is very vigilant when we're in the kitchen," Steve admitted.

Re: Mingle Time

[ifwebeworthy]

"It's still weird that he's not an actual guy," Don confessed.

An actual guy who would never let Tony Stark be unattended in his kitchen.

Re: Mingle Time

[heroic_jawline]

Steve blinked. "You mean like Vision?"

Re: Mingle Time

[ifwebeworthy]

"No, like a human. A butler-type human." Don sighed wistfully. "I miss his coffee."

Re: Mingle Time

[heroic_jawline]

"Vision makes terrible coffee," Steve said, laughing. "I didn't know the actual Jarvis, though Howard mentioned him every now and again. I didn't see a lot of Howard, either."
