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

It always felt like a bit of a stretch to call an event in January a "picnic," and the weather today wasn't helping with how seasonably cold it was outside. Thankfully, there was plenty of warm food to keep everyone toasty, along with as many carafes as The Perk would offer, filled with hot water for tea, light and dark roast coffee, and hot chocolate.

It was time to welcome in another new semester, everyone!

[Going OCD-free this time, stay warm together!]

Kitty had signed up to teach one class. Kitty had found out today that she was teaching a second class. About glitter.

So uhhh she was happy to talk to people especially if they had ideas on what to do for that.

"Kitty!" Tony was not an arts and crafts person, but he knew how to make a glitter bomb, did that help?
throughaphase: (or...)

"Tony! I got saddled with an extra class!"

The glitter bomb was a gimme.
imafuturist: (huh)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2026-01-03 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"An extra class?"
throughaphase: (turned away)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2026-01-03 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah. I had one. It's going to be fun. I worked really hard on it," she said. "I've also been assigned glitter."
imafuturist: (huh)

"...that's a topic," Tony said after a moment. "That is very much A Topic."
throughaphase: (okay well)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2026-01-03 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"Do you have any ideas?" she asked. "I have no clue how to do a semi-serious syllabus for this."
imafuturist: (Default)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2026-01-03 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"Glitter bombs?" Look, that was his best suggestion here.
throughaphase: (looking at you)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2026-01-03 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
"Of course. I'm now an agent of chaos whether I like it or not," she said.
imafuturist: (well that sucks)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2026-01-03 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"Something with the squirrels?" he ventured. "That could be a thing, right?"
throughaphase: (getting the point across)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2026-01-03 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'll have to think about that," she said. "It'd probably make the squirrels hate me, but..."

She shrugged. Probably wouldn't be the first time.
imafuturist: (trying to look innocent)

"Rum fixes that," Tony replied solemnly. "They hardly even try to bite me anymore after I hunted them as a cat."
throughaphase: (just being pretty)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2026-01-03 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"They sort had to have had that happen before," Kitty said. "Most people turn into cats."

A normal thing to say.
imafuturist: (talking at you)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2026-01-03 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's pretty common," Tony agreed. "Maybe the island attracts cat people."
throughaphase: (hmm)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2026-01-03 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"That'd be weird," she decided.
imafuturist: (let me explain this science)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2026-01-03 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"No weirder than a moose assigning you glitter," Tony replied.
throughaphase: (gesture)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2026-01-03 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"It feels weirder than a moose assigning me glitter," Kitty argued.
imafuturist: (well that sucks)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2026-01-03 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's definitely on the same level of weirdness," he insisted.
throughaphase: (neutral listening)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2026-01-04 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
"One can still be weirder," she said.
