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

[bigdamnprincipal]

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*]

"Oh, no, by all means," she insisted, immediately assuming he was right -- she hadn't thought about if there was only one bed. "We can trade off, or something. I don't mind the floor."

"Then we'd both be sore because we'd never get used to it," he pointed out. "You can have it. I'm used to the floor. Even if it's stone, I'll be fine."

"Perhaps there'll be two beds?" she suggested. "Or at least something else comfortable to sleep on. I've slept on worse than stone, honestly. It isn't a problem."

"I'm not paying anything and I don't have anyone to pay for anything, so they probably only have the one for you. Another body in a room doesn't cost, but furniture does."

He waved the whole thing off.

"We'll probably just collapse as needed. How many classes are you signed up for?"

"Three," she said, consulting her paperwork, since she'd not signed up for her own. "You?"

"Four, actually," he said thoughtfully, though he sounded pleased.

"Which ones?"

"Ethics, Criminal Justice, and Choose Your Own Government," she read, smiling. "They do sound interesting." Finch did know her well, to sign her up for these.

"None of the ones I'm in," he admitted. He kept it to himself that none of them seemed entirely interesting to him.

"As for the room, I don't have anything, so there should be plenty of space for your things."

"I don't have anything, either," she admitted, gesturing to the relatively small bag she had. "Clothes and the like, but that's all. It'll be roomy."

"It'll be empty," he said more honestly. "Though I've been told there's work available outside the school. I'll probably get a job."

It would be good for him, after all. All this structure, all this discipline. He could become someone, perhaps. Someone with a days work and a home and order. He just had to work for it, right?

"Oh, a job." She'd not even thought of that. Her job was at home, back in England. Anything she did here seemed trivial by comparison. "I suppose I'll have to see how my studies go, before trying to take on anything of that sort. Don't want to be dragged home for poor marks or anything."

Though, really, that did have its appeal. She could be doing much more important things there.

"I'm stupid and not worth the trouble, so I probably won't make friends," he said, matter of factly. "I should be able to balance them both if I'm careful."

Re: Meet Your Roommate (Spring 2008)

And that was a bit concerning, right there. "You're not stupid," she said, frowning.

Green green eyes looked back at her skeptically.

"I've heard much to the contrary. And it's not really anything interesting to discuss."

The Witch had discussed it often.

"I've met my share of idiots," she said, arching an eyebrow. "And unless you prove differently than you have in the last few minutes, I'll not count you amongst their company."

"Count or miscount me as you like."

He wouldn't argue with her. He didn't particularly like being stupid, after all, and while he wouldn't acknowledge the compliment as truth, he would at least appreciate it for what it was worth.

"Should we head for the room or stay here? I personally would like to gather some food since I don't know when we'll get more."

Re: Meet Your Roommate (Spring 2008)

She nodded. "I thought I might have a look around, see what the company's like," she said. "I'm sure I'll see you at the room later?"

Re: Meet Your Roommate (Spring 2008)

He nodded.

"As you like."

He decided to look around and see what he might be dealing with. He wasn't much for talking, but he enjoyed listening.
