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

Jul 02, 2011 02:02

In order to give people a place to get away from the traffic jam of the buffet and information tables, most of the chairs and tables for guests were set up further out on the lawn, under a tall blue and gold tent. There was plenty of room for everyone to sit down and enjoy themselves, but it might not have all been dry. Did we mention being ( Read more... )

This was Toby's first welcome picnic as a non-newbie and, well- frankly it was just as overwhelming as it had been the first time around.

But the impressive array of food more than made up for it, and so he was taking full advantage of the selection with a couple of piled-high plates. It didn't quite make up for the rain, though, and Toby found himself wishing he had a waterproof jacket of some sort. At least it wasn't too cold out.

Hmm. Now. Where would cute guy put his wallet, hmm?

Kenzi gave him a bright smile while inventorying hiding places. "Good food, hunh?"

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] godgavemecable July 2 2011, 07:11:16 UTC

Oh Kenzi. If you thought Toby owned a wallet, you were sadly mistaken. He did, however, have an apple tucked in to the front pocket of the hoodie that was a few sizes too big. And a handful of cheese cubes wrapped in a napkin and stuffed in the pocket of his jeans.

He did his best to smother a smirk, because that was pretty much it as far as stuff he had stashed. Definitely nothing of value.

"Yeah," he agreed, turning that hint of a smirk into a friendly grin. "They really go all out with this sort of thing."

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] regretiz4suckas July 2 2011, 07:16:08 UTC

Now, with all this food around, there was no reason to be coveting his apple, right? And yet, she did.

Kenzi grinned back at him and held out her hand. "I feel so totally welcomed. Kenzi. From Canada."

That might be the last true thing he got out of her.

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] godgavemecable July 2 2011, 07:23:09 UTC

"Toby. Canada's pretty big," he pointed out. "Any part in particular? I'm from Toronto." And if he angled himself as he shook her hand so that she wouldn't quite be able to reach that apple, well. It was his damnit. Even if he could easily get another one.

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] regretiz4suckas July 2 2011, 07:24:46 UTC

You'd think someone who'd just defended her food vehemently would respect other people's, wouldn't you? You would be wrong.

"Ohhh, here and there. London. Toronto for a bit. Winnipeg a while ago," Kenzi said vaguely. Okay, mostly true. Sorta. "So how'd you come to be here, handsome?" Kenzi leaned forward to pat his shoulder flirtily. And try to figure out a way to get to the apple.

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] godgavemecable July 2 2011, 07:35:45 UTC

"My uh... social worker thought a change in scenery would be good for me," Toby explained. Okay, so Ray wasn't actually a social worker and he hadn't suggested Fandom so much as agreed Toby might as well stay there once he'd arrived, but, well.

Two could play at the Mostly Sorta True Game, is all.

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] regretiz4suckas July 2 2011, 16:50:34 UTC

Hunh. He was the first person here who didn't make her feel like a freak for having one. Kenzi grinned a little more, and said, "Mine might've thought the same thing. Fresh horizons, a change from my old, bad habits..."

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] godgavemecable July 2 2011, 20:51:54 UTC

"Like stealing?" Toby asked with a smirk. So busted, Kenzi. So busted.

[at work, so slowish! Will be home in a few hours though!]

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] regretiz4suckas July 2 2011, 21:02:26 UTC

Kenzi opened her eyes even wider and flirtier. Okay, smarter than expected. "Do I seem like a bad person or something?"

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] godgavemecable July 2 2011, 21:13:30 UTC

"I'd say you're... More the kind of person who doesn't let opportunity pass her by," Toby said diplomatically. It wasn't like he could exactly fault her for that, given how he'd made several attempts to profit from his unusual ability, especially when he'd been living on the street.

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] regretiz4suckas July 2 2011, 21:16:01 UTC

Kenzi stopped angling for the apple, and grinned, then elbowing him. "Niiiice answer, dude." Philosophical, she returned to eating her food. "So, how long were you looking into opportunities, before your social worker put you here?"

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] godgavemecable July 2 2011, 21:36:19 UTC

"Ran away from my last foster home about... Five months ago, I guess?" Toby shared. "Been here since May."

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] regretiz4suckas July 2 2011, 21:41:52 UTC

"Been okay?" Kenzi checked. "No pervs or assholes to worry about?"

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] godgavemecable July 3 2011, 00:32:45 UTC

There had been plenty of pervs and assholes... in most of the foster and group homes he'd bounced around. "Nah," he shrugged. "Kept to myself mostly. Didn't get involved in street politics. Safer that way."

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] regretiz4suckas July 3 2011, 00:36:52 UTC

"I meant here," Kenzi cleared up. But if he didn't mention any here, that meant here was... okay. "Street politics blow, but I had connections. Cousins, their friends, you know. Places to go to."
