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*]

"I'll only go if the Dormouse is there," she replied, "I dislike men or hatters with better hats than mine."

"So are you lurking back here to profile the students, the teachers, or both?" Ghanima turned her gaze back to the students, mentally cataloging and filing. "Dear lord, look at them all. Is this normal?"

"We'll make it a prequisite. No hats more fabulous than yours. Also, the Dormouse," Aly chuckled. She looked back out at the throngs, tilting her head as she noticed some of what she was hoping to see. "Just think of what you missed by coming in the middle of last term. They always do this. It's like a swarm of beetles coming home to land."

"A Lady has to have standards, you know," Ghani informed Aly jokingly. "Now that's a frightening thought, students as a swarm of locusts. Hopefully they aren't quite that destructive, otherwise I might have to drag Renee off-island to keep her from shaking them so hard their brains rattle."

"Keep that up, and I'm going to call you Grandmother," Aly told her. "They usually have good intentions at heart. Not that it keeps the Sheriff's department any less frustrated." She thought for a moment. "But if Detective Montoya needs to shake people, I have candidates."

"Please, don't give her an excuse. I'd like my students to start the term with a minimum of brain damage."

"You prefer to inflict all the brain damage yourself?" Aly teased.

"I prefer to call it 'expanding their horizons'. If their brains break in the process, it's not my fault that they are so limited." Ghanima shrugged eloquently, not bothering to hide the smirk. "That's why I started with a simple class like mythology. If they can't survive that, they won't survive anything else the world throws at them."

"Those poor little darlings," Aly deadpanned. "They'll never recover."

"They're children, that means they're resilient little things. I'm sure they'll bounce back in no time after an appropriate amount of, what's the word, um, emo? Yes?"

"As long as their emo doesn't take the form of trying to swallow the island or end the world, I'm happy."

"If they didn't try to end the world, their classmates would get bored. What's high school without a little drama?" Ghani grinned to show she was joking, mostly, as she turned her gaze towards the new teachers. "I don't suppose you know which one of those is the one the 'office' accidentally assigned me?"

"I don't think it was an accident," Aly pointed out. "But I don't see him here yet ~~because the player is at work~~. I'm sure you'll do an excellent job."

"Right. You realize, of course, I'm going to blame any bad advice I give on you?" Ghani teased. "I usually could blame my brother for everything, but now I need a new bad influence."

"If you have any questions, you may ask me at any time," Aly agreed magnanimously. She grinned. "But the other part, that's alright."
