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... )

Unfortunately, the island didn't seem to have done anything crazy for the picnic, which was what Topher had really been hoping for. But fortunately, it was at least raining. Still, for the sake of the free food Topher thought he'd stick around for just a few minutes before heading over to his new job.

Except the food was really good. Maybe half an hour.

"Have you met anyone interesting so far?" Peter said. No, he didn't need a greeting, and no, he didn't actually think Topher had done anything but stare at the food so far. He knew his minions. "The crop is small this term."

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] dollpocalypse July 2 2011, 12:51:40 UTC

It was a fair point.

"Nope," Topher said. "I've seen 'em, though. Looks like it's two peppy girls, one goth chick, a tiny freshman and a weird-looking guy."

Which he would just announce because he had no manners.

Holding out a bag of Doritos, he offered, "Chips?"

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] lockestheway July 2 2011, 12:55:05 UTC

"Yep," Peter said, grabbing a handful of the crispy things. He craned his neck at the crowd. "The goth chick - either the rebellious kid of some prissy parents, or a street rat," he said. "What do you think the weird-looking guy's deal is?"

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] dollpocalypse July 2 2011, 12:57:39 UTC

"Dunno," Topher said as he took some chips for himself. "He looks freaked. Maybe he's never been outside before."

Yes, Topher, just keep gossipping about your peers in public, where any one of them could come take offense.

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] lockestheway July 2 2011, 12:59:14 UTC

"Maybe he's just suffering from Fandom shock," Peter offered, mildly.

He wasn't trying to set Topher up to be taken offense to. Per se. But it would be funny if it happened.

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] dollpocalypse July 2 2011, 13:01:28 UTC

"It's not like there's any weird invasion going on, though," Topher pointed out. "And we're on that Greek island, not Iceland or whatever, so it doesn't even look that strange." Oh, there was a thought -- "Maybe he doesn't speak English."

Just keep not trying, Peter. It happened on its own.

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] lockestheway July 2 2011, 13:03:15 UTC

Peter looked thoughtful. "Maybe you should go ask," he offered. Okay, now he really was trying.

A little.

If Topher said no, Peter might just go over there and tell Cassel his friend Topher wanted to know if he'd ever been outside. Just for the fun of it.

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] dollpocalypse July 2 2011, 13:04:28 UTC

Topher glanced over. Then back to his chips. The choice was clear. "Nah, I'm good."

No fair, Peter. MEAN.

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] lockestheway July 2 2011, 13:05:58 UTC

Was that really a surprise?

Peter shrugged casually. "Suit yourself. I might go over there in a bit." He reached to take some more chips. "The chipper girls?"

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] dollpocalypse July 2 2011, 13:11:15 UTC

Huh. Now that was harder.

"One of them's from LA," he asserted with certainty. "Got the look all over her. And the other... can't tell. Something's up with her."

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] lockestheway July 2 2011, 13:13:34 UTC

"A deep and dark secret," Peter said, shoving his umbrella somewhere between two boards on a picnic table so it'd stay up without him having to hold on. "Now that would be a curious new development, wouldn't it?"

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] dollpocalypse July 2 2011, 13:18:26 UTC

Yes, because no one at Fandom had secrets. Least of all Peter.

"I guess," Topher said, though he didn't know about curious. "Seems like more of a... health thing. Maybe she has three months to live."

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] lockestheway July 2 2011, 13:24:15 UTC

Peter had absolutely no secrets to speak of. Don't be daft. Nor did he have an overpowering urge to find out other people's secrets for his own gain. At all.

"Three months to live, and she winds up here?" Peter said, whistling. "Poor girl."

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] dollpocalypse July 2 2011, 13:26:43 UTC

Topher was of the opinion that if someone had three months to live, she should let herself be used for science for the remaining time. Hey, a lot of good experiments could happen on someone like that.

But that was sociopathic, so.

"Yeah, it sucks," he agreed. "Granted, it's just a guess. Maybe she's just on drugs or something."

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] lockestheway July 2 2011, 13:28:10 UTC

"If that's the case, then she'll fit right in," Peter judged, stealing more of Topher's Doritos.
