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

Jul 02, 2011 02:02

With all the rain the island had seen during the week, everyone had been hoping for a sudden turn to nice weather for the welcome picnic. But as the crew from the school started to set up for the picnic, the sky got darker and darker, and by the time everything was ready, it had started to steadily rain. As tempting as it was to move everything ( Read more... )

...Was that armor?

That looked like armor.

This place just kept getting more and more surreal. But pretty! And that was the important thing.

"You're looking a little shellshocked," Cindy observed dryly. "Did you just finish talking to our VP?"

She hadn't seen the pony yet.

"...Oh, please don't tell me the pony is the... whatever you just said," Alistair said, blinking at the (pretty) newcomer. "Because now I'm paranoid I haven't been treating my horse right."

"The pony?" Cindy glances around the throng until she saw...yes, that was indeed a pink pony chatting with the Dean. She blinked once or twice at that and fought down the irrational urge to call Red and make sure that no one from the Farm had joined her at Fandom--not that anyone besides Bigby knew she was here.

"Uhhh, no," she said, turning back to Alistair. "She's new. The VP is the bizarre man in red with the swords who refuses to make sense."

Extending her hand, she added, "I'm Cindy. Cindy Perrault. Around here, though, making sense is kind of relative."

"Ahhh, him," Alistair said, glancing Deadpool's way. "He's all right. In an incredibly crazy sort of way, but it's more 'dance, dance, you peon, and watch the daggers!' than 'I whisper inanities into your ear while I touch you in bad places', so I'll take it."

He smiled, glanced down at Cindy's hand, and wondered if this is where he did the handkissing... thing. She was a lady, after all. Maybe she expected that kind of thing? "I'm Alistair, of the Grey Wardens," he offered. "Do you want me to, uh..."

... That was probably a stupid question.

"Yeah, actually that first one sounds pretty much like something he'd say," Cindy said. She smiled at his evident confusion, reaching to take his hand and give it a shake--even though for a moment she gave serious thought to letting him kiss it. It reminded her of old times.

"A handshake is the modern equivalent," she explained with a smile. "You'll get fewer funny looks this way."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011] badnewsandwit July 4 2011, 05:34:44 UTC

"Really?" Alistair said. Trying, mostly, to cover up for that bit of... awkwardness by shaking her hand and going, "Awww, and here I was racking up such a number of them, too. Well, if it's the fashion."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011] steel_not_glass July 4 2011, 05:38:41 UTC

"I can lie to you about something else," Cindy suggested impishly. "Later, so you're not expecting it. I'm sure we'll get your tally back up in no time."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011] badnewsandwit July 4 2011, 05:46:12 UTC

"I look forward to it," Alistair said, grinning. "...I mean, as long as it isn't about something terrible, like monsters in the woods, or witches flying over periodically to turn everyone into frogs. I'm highly allergic to frogs."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011] steel_not_glass July 4 2011, 06:07:16 UTC

"There are creatures in the woods, but I don't think they count as monsters," Cindy promised. "I don't think the school's witches spend much time flying over the school. And, lucky for you, the frog graduated this past May, so I don't think he's on the island anymore."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011] badnewsandwit July 4 2011, 06:08:48 UTC

He... blinked. "Right, the frog," he said, dubiously. "Like the pony, no doubt."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011] steel_not_glass July 4 2011, 06:12:24 UTC

"You mean the pony that's right there?" Cindy asked, pointing. You know, in case he needed the reminder. "The pink one, that talked to you? Yep, much like that. Only smaller, green, and made out of a weird fabric."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011] badnewsandwit July 4 2011, 06:14:25 UTC

"A fabric frog," he said. "Wow, you must have some mages walking around here. Ones with senses of humor, no less."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011] steel_not_glass July 4 2011, 06:19:59 UTC

"He was convinced that he was meant to be that way," Cindy said, shrugging. "As were the various friends and family that visited him on Parents' Weekends. Takes all types."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011] badnewsandwit July 4 2011, 06:33:19 UTC

"Far be it from me to challenge an absent fabric frog on existential issues," Alistair said, waving it off. "At the very least it means there's some excitement around here." His voice dropped a little on the last sentence, as if he was afraid that the Grand Cleric was here, and trying to listen in.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011] steel_not_glass July 4 2011, 07:00:16 UTC

"Exitement? Is one of the things we are not lacking for on this island," Cindy said with a laugh. "I promise you that. There will be invasions aplenty--as well as plenty of other entertaining, ahem, I mean exciting experiences for you."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [SS2 2011] badnewsandwit July 4 2011, 07:58:07 UTC

"Invasions?" Alistair asked. "These wouldn't happen to start in 'dark' and end in 'spawn', would they? There is a Blight coming."

It was good to know this kind of thing.
