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

[bigdamnprincipal]

The weather was lovely thanks to the island's new location, and even though it had been less than a week, there was no sign anywhere on the school lawn that part of the land had sunk and collapsed during graduation.

That didn't stop everyone from setting things up away from where the graduates had been seated, of course.

There were tables and chairs and plenty of food and drinks, along with nametags, and three signs: one listing the Big Sibling/Little Sibling pairings, one listing rooms and roommates for the new students, and one listing the cabin assignments.

[WAIT FOR THE OCD PLEASE. OCD IS UP. This is part one of the picnic, specifically for 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.]

Meet Your Big/Little Sibling (Summer 2008)

[bigdamnprincipal]

If you're a big sibling or a little sibling looking for the other half of your pair, this is where you can find them.

Gwen felt extremely daft as she fastened her nametag on and waited by the big sibling sign. It didn't help that she thought she might be older than some of the teachers, let alone the students.

Turtle had, of course, usurped a bit of her usual Turtle & Canary resources to make sure that she located her new little sibling with the help a nice, pretty, glittery sign with the name Kaylee Frye beautifully sparkling in green. With some stars, because stars were cool. The stars were blue. She certainly hoped her new little sister wasn't easily embarrassed.

And, if she was? Well, then. Mwa ha ha.

Lee wrote his name in giant letters and slapped the nametag on the center of his chest. He figured that'd be big enough for Giselle to see and come find him because he had no idea who she was.

Another semester, another awesome little sibling to meet. John stuck his nametag to his chest and started mingling.

Well, the nice thing about having a short name was that it could fit easily onto a nametag so that no one would have to look too close to see it. He smoothed it out a little against the right side of his chest, where the letters CAL were large and boldly presented, looking around for someone who might be looking around for him.

Sokka stuck on a nametag and climbed up onto a table. "WES!!!" he called out. "WES COLLINS?!!!?!"

Chris hung out, looking for anyone wearing a name tag that said 'Alex'. He was assuming his little was a male, but if Fandom had taught him anything, it was not to assume anything, so he glanced at the girls' nametags as well, just in case.

Sam had a nametag on with his full name, and decided to wait and see if his little sibling found him first, before he spent time staring inappropriately at girls' chests to read their nametags.

Ino totally, totally, didn't remember signing up to be a sibling. She wasn't complaining though, definitely not, as she bounced around looking for someone named 'Richard Grayson' and practically trembling with excitement.

She was a big sibling! Glee.

A very confused looking Klingon suddenly appeared in a flash of light. Before Worf could find his bearings there was another flash of light and a name tag appeared on his Cadet uniform which read "Microbrain (aka Worf)".

When he noticed it, Worf quickly took it off and replaced it with one that just said "Worf".

Wes is wandering around, glancing at nametags and looking for someone named Sokka.

Romeo was happy he was the big sibling this time, not the little. He hung out near the food, snatching cookies and watching for anyone who looked like their parents might be daft enough to name them Friday Next.

Hinata was... not looking for her sibling. She was staring quite firmly at the ground and wishing desperately that this day would turn out to be a bad dream and that her Father really hadn't just shipped her off to this... place.

Like she was worthless. Hinata shook her head and smoothed out the papers Yamanaka-san had given her. 'Hoshi Sato' then, was her sibling. Star. She hoped that was a good omen, but didn't count on it.

This was another new thing. Ned was just going to add that to the mental list he'd titled 'New and Weird Things that Ned Would Have a Panic Attack About Later.'

For now, he wrote his name on his nametag and wandered around, looking for someone with a nametag that said Jen.

Naomi put on her nametag and began looking around for her sibling. She was keeping an eye out for someone named Lion-O.

Gladys was, well, she was there, all seven foot, two thousand pounds of her. Wrapped in a (giant) blue gingham dress to which a nametag had been pinned with surprising delicacy, her eyes were aglow with something that might have been interest.

This was where she was supposed to meet her big sibling, and so here she would wait.

When Alec showed up, he was thought it was kind of funny he'd been assigned a sib - an older sibling, like he didn't know this place already. Not that he minded; you got to know people you wouldn't necessarily talk to much that way.

Also, by the name given, his sib seemed to be a girl.

Stripping off his shirt, he put the nametag on his chest with "Alec" clearly written on it in block letters and a big smile on his face, and set to wandering around to find his big sibling.

"...Sibling?" Already this place was proving to be an even bigger punishment than he'd originally believed. Deidara hadn't realized he'd made the Leader that angry.

Deidara stuck the nametag onto his long black and red coat, a sudden smirk on his face. There were so many new opportunities for artistic inspiration, here...

Temari looked around for someone named Inara Serra.

And planned the angry message back to Gaara when she had a free moment. Students. She was at a school.

As if by some magic, Toby had acquired shoes and some fresh pants. His hair was wavy and damp from the ocean water and his skin shone brightly. Toby had been directed up to the school and was surprised to find he was enrolled. Sticking his nametag to his arm, he looked around confusedly.

At least he fit in with all the shirtlessness.

Name tags made things ever so convenient. Alice wondered for a moment if one was allowed to take extra name tags and begin applying them to trees and tables so they didn't feel left out. But then, how presumptuous to assume one knew the names for trees. 'Tree' was as helpful in that case as writing 'Person' would be on her own.

She wrote ALICE LIDDELL carefully in block letters and affixed it to her pinafore. Best all the way around, she figured.

Current students who had been assigned new rooms and/or roommates had been handwavily informed of the change. The list of cabin assignments was also posted nearby, for everyone to see.

A roommate, Gwen was sure she could handle a roommate. She'd lived with Rhys since forever, hadn't she? Even if that other her was currently doing the living with, and everything else that entailed.

Friday was a bit of a funny name though.

Fraser arrived to the picnic early, walking slowly around the area, memorizing faces and making sure nothing go too out of hand.

Hinata's sibling and roommate are one and the same?
