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

The weather was thankfully behaving, so it was fairly warm outside as everything was set up for the picnic. Tables and chairs had been set up, and there was plenty of food and drinks, along with nametags, and two signs: one listing the Big Sibling/Little Sibling pairings, and another listing rooms and roommates for the new students.

[~~WAIT FOR THE OCD PLEASE.~~ OCD IS UP, HAVE AT IT. This is part one of the picnic, for specifically meeting siblings, roommates, and teachers. The rest of the picnic is happening here and here, in an effort to keep browsers from breaking for as long as possible. *g*]

"Is Adama an alien?" Nathan asked, mostly because he was trying to get a baseline on Kerrigan's perceptions of the world around her.

"I'm pretty sure he's mostly just annoying." Kerrigan cocked her head at him. Questioning her sanity. Nice. "Ask people about Fandom weirdness," she said, "They'll fill you in better. Any other questions, I'm here. I'll tag by your office on your first week, too."

Seemed like a teaching buddy kind of thing to do.

...

She hated Aly so much right now.

"Thanks," Nathan said. "I appreciate the help."

"Yeah, yeah," she snorted, "If you meet Aly, be careful. She's got one too many tricks up her sleeve." Like getting the unwilling buddying around. "Anything you want to know before I head out to pilfer some food?"

"Where's a guy go to get good food around here?" Nathan asked.

"There's Cafe Fina," Kerrigan offered, after a moment. Quality of food was still a mostly new concept for her. "Ching Tai for Chinese. I usually end up grabbing pizza instead, but I hear those places are good."

"Pizza here any good or are we talking Domino's?" Nathan asked.

"Not sure what Domino's is," Kerrigan countered, "But there's no pizza like the local, and I've had a bunch."

"I'll give it a try," Nathan said. "Maybe sometime when you're free you could show me the sights."

Not that it was a huge island, but still. Couldn't hurt to get the opinions of someone who wasn't a sixteen year old boy.

Kerrigan shrugged. Again. "Got nothing but class on Thursdays. I can give you the newbie tour sometime before then if you want it." There was a faint air of resigned and smirking to that, because--

Stupid thing to say. If there was anything the last few weeks had taught her, it was that she had to stop hanging out with people who liked to talk like soundbites.

"This place gets a little lethal," she had to add, just to clarify.

"I teach on Wednesday," Nathan said. "But I'm sure we could work something out. And lethal? How so?"

From the casual tone it'd be hard to tell how avidly interested he was in the information. Unless you were a mindreader so... yeah.

Someone was a little protective. Hm. Not just politician, then.

Funny how a couple of months got you used to this place. "This is why they should give you guys a tour built-in," Kerrigan said, "Point you out to the locations of all the latest invasions."

"They tend to leave a bit off the brochure," Nathan said.

"You could say that," Kerrigan agreed, shifting her weight. "Honestly, I'm surprised you even got the luxury of a brochure."

"I could give you a copy of Peter's?" Nathan offered. For him this was a friendly joke.

"Think I could probably write my own, at this point," she shot back. "Trial and error."

"Let me know if you do," Nathan said. "I'd be happy to read it."

"Will do," Kerrigan said, dryly. "Anyway, my phone number should be in the register, so call if you have anything or you need me to point out all the rough spots in town."

That plus this conversation pretty much catered to all her teacher-support duties, right? Right.

"Will do," Nathan said. "Pleasure meeting you, Lieutenant."
