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

Aug 29, 2015 02:53

There were tables and chairs set up all around the lawn. Some were in the sun, where folks could work on their tan while they ate, and some were in the shade where folks could stay cool and non-crispy ( Read more... )

This was Anders' fourth or so Welcome Picnic, though it seemed like so many more. By now, it was almost routine: Take too much food, find a place by the trees to sit, and watch for anybody who was attractive, looked as though they might have heard of Thedas, or both.

"Kathy," Anders said, very very seriously, "what have I done to make you think I'd be so awful as to be a sober escort?"

What lovely wings you have, Anders!

"Well, you did just tell me that your very important mage responsibilities included stealing the joy from young girls?" Kathy asked, wide-eyed. "I wasn't sure you'd be willing to take a night off from your responsibilities just because I was celebrating a night off from mine!"

Elsa, sadly, didn't fall under the latter. Though she was by the trees herself, avoiding the thickest parts of the crowd. And was at least hopefully not offensive to the eyes.

"Anders," she greeted warmly. "How have you been?"

Also, how in the world was he going to manage to clean that plate? Elsa would be impressed if he managed it.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015] not_every_mage August 29 2015, 17:19:08 UTC

"Elsa!" Anders grinned. "I'm happy school's starting up again, I can say that much. Were you home for the summer or just turned into a polar bear again?"

He'd finish what was on hisplate through sheer hard work and dedication. And possibly some sharing.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015] iceolatedqueen August 29 2015, 17:28:20 UTC

"Home for the summer," Elsa laughed, because yes, a polar bear was also a completely reasonable possibility around here. She'd almost forgotten after a few months in Arendelle. In quiet, quiet Arendelle. "It's just as... home... as it's ever been. I'm happy to be back, I think, though I'll likely be reconsidering that the next time the island turns me into a boy or something."

Ah, Fandom.

"I hope you get a few weeks before that happens," Anders said, then reconsidered. "... and that's a very Fandom sentence, isn't it? In other places not turning into things is rather the default."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015] iceolatedqueen August 29 2015, 18:56:43 UTC

"Generally," Elsa agreed, not even bothering to try to hide her amusement. "But a few weeks to settle back in again would be appreciated. I imagine the island might think differently, though. Especially since I went several months without, and there are plenty of new students here who are by Fandom's standards all in need of... what's the word? Hazing?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015] not_every_mage August 29 2015, 19:33:27 UTC

"You're right," Anders sighed. "Give it a few days, and we'll all be ponies, or breathing fire, or ponies who breathe fire. Just to shake out the weak."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015] iceolatedqueen August 29 2015, 19:39:26 UTC

"... I suppose, if nothing else, at least fire is something I can deal with," Elsa hedged, deciding to try this new thing called 'looking at the bright side.' "With any luck, we won't burn down the dorms. Or stables."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015] not_every_mage August 29 2015, 20:59:41 UTC

"Which is good," Anders nodded. "Especially because I'm not sure the school has any stables."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015] iceolatedqueen August 29 2015, 21:18:00 UTC

"I think the dorms do, though," Elsa offered. "And if not, there's at least the Gig in town."

A pause.

"The island might even be contrary and just turn all the buildings into stables, for that matter."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015] not_every_mage August 29 2015, 22:59:08 UTC

"The dorms do? Huh."

Anders was fabulously observant sometimes, yes.

"And thanks for that. Now I'm half afraid I'll wake up in a pile of hay," he added. "Also,now I wonder where Pinkie Pie sleeps."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015] iceolatedqueen August 29 2015, 23:01:34 UTC

"Knowing Pinkie Pie? Probably in a nest made out of confetti," Elsa decided. "She isn't exactly a normal pony, after all."
