Support Services Meeting: The Park, Friday After Classes
Francine didn't have classes on Friday, which meant she had all morning to bake. This time it was stuff she could just layer out in a pan and cut up, though, so the food table was covered with lemon squares, rice krispy treats, and raspberry-oatmeal bars.
She might still have been licking marshmallow off her fingers when it came time to climb up on a non-food table and say, "I bet you're tired of hearing 'I see you survived your relatives visiting!' If only because duh, since you're not dead."
"You might have spent the weekend trying to hide all the wacky that is Fandom from them, or getting them used to it or just--" Cough. "Working up the courage to tell them, but at least they didn't have to find out the hard way, by something trying to take over the island or eat us all in our sleep while they were here."
"We've been lucky about that, but we can't count on staying lucky. What if something big and bad happened while our parents were here, or even worse, our kids? Um. Our possible future kids for anybody who wasn't here this spring. We should have plans in place to deal with keeping the really n00bish defenseless people safe while the other folks are off fighting the bad guys."
[OOC: Open like my lunch now that I finally have this posted!]
