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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Despite the fact that they were still in Antarctica, the weather for the picnic was beautiful. It was sunny, warm, and clear enough to see many of the icebergs circling the island from the school's location. If people were still cold, there was more warm food than usual out on the tables, and hot drinks were being kept well-stocked.

Along with the tables and chairs near the food, there was a table of nametags, and two signs: one listing the Big Sibling/Little Sibling pairings, and one listing rooms and roommates for the new students.

It was time for the picnic to begin!

[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 - 2.0)

[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.

Cimorene was at the picnic, holding up a sheet of paper that she had written EDMUND on in rather large letters.

'Big sibling'. Ender wondered if they understood the irony of it. It was a decent means for familiarity, like Dap had been back when he'd been young and frightened; except the word 'sibling' meant something else than 'mother', and he found himself thinking heavily of Valentine as he waited, quietly, with the tag that dubbed him 'Andrew Wiggin'.

He was using the time he had to watch, familiarizing himself with the patterns of greeting the others used as they moved around. The sunlight was harsh to his eyes-- Ender had to blink often.

Hinata was... not entirely sure how her name had been signed up for a sibling, but she assumed it had something to do with her father making the decision.

Nonetheless, she showed up early and started looking around for someone names Bender.

Big sibling? Ichigo was used to being the big sibling himself and while he didn't think he needed one himself, he supposed it was a nice enough idea.

The nametag - ICHIGO KUROSAKI (he needed to remember his first name went first here) - was stuck to crookedly to his shirt and he glanced around the picnic area. For once, his orange hair wouldn't stand out so much and he wasn't sure if that was comforting or not.

Okay, now he just needed to find this Jack Burton guy.

Liz had found out that she would have a little sibling this session and so she came down to the welcome picnic to find her. She made sure that her name tag was visible and looked around for someone named Helen.

Chuck was not all about this big sibling thing. If this Chris guy thought there was going to be bonding between them then he was sadly mistaken.

Still, Chuck supposed that this was a chance to get a new minion...er...friend.

"Aw, such a cute little program," Hannibal said as he slapped a nametag on his chest. "I hope my big sibling tells me stories!"

With that, Hannibal started looking around for someone named Alec.

Viki did not have her nametag. She had, in fact, not even noticed that they were supposed to have nametags and wandered around a little bemused at the sight of so many people.

Angela spent a good five minutes decorating her nametag before she put effort into actually finding her big sibling. If she was going to wear something with her name plastered across it, it better look pretty.

She stretched up on her tiptoes to try and look over the people there. "Dean Winchester?"

Jack was wandering around, his nametag on, asking if anyone had seen this "Itchy-go" person.

At least, he hoped it was a person. Be weird if it were a talking cat or a car or a horseybird or something. Huh.

"Big sibling. Big sibling?" Katchoo muttered contemptuously. "How frikkin' lovey-dovey does it get? Are we going to hold hands and sing Kum Bah Ya next?"

While her nametag did, in fact, read Katina C. in heavy block letters, she'd taken the liberty of embellishing it with . . . well, there wasn't much room for detail, but somehow the little squiggly lines looked obscene.

Toby had Reno, the best big sibling ever, as an example of how to do this job. After he'd gotten bored waiting at the beach, he'd wandered up to the lawn to see if he could find his sibling and was surprised to see all the other people there.

His nametag stuck to his bare chest, Toby started looking for some chick. He hoped she was a lesbian.

.... Siblings. Oh, good. Warren's first day at this place, and already they were forcing him to be social.

Fine. Fine, he'd play along, put on the stupid nametag (stupid nametags anyhow), and look around for anyone that might look like an Evey.

Teddy looked around for a girl who looked like... well... Peter.

At least, he didn't think Pevensie was a common name. Even for Fandom.

Momoko looked from the tables of food to the table with signs and papers. On the one hand, free food - and it looked like there were pastries mixed in there - on the other hand she really did need to know where she was going to live. And she remembered something in the handbook about being assigned a "Big Sibling"

"Oh man." She sighed. "As a leader, I gotta do the responsible thing." She picked up her 'Momoko' name-tag, hoping the good food didn't disappear before she could get there. She may have bounced a bit at seeing her given name: she was in High School in America! This was gonna be great!

Bumblebee had located the nametags and with little difficulty had managed to write his name on it. It took him a moment to realize that the backing came off to make it sticky, after which he dubiously stuck it onto his chestplate, hoping it would come off later without trouble.

Then it seemed he had to find someone named "Sokka". ...That might be the difficult part.

Meet Your Roommate (Summer 2008 - 2.0)

[bigdamnprincipal]

The following list of roommate assignments was located on one of the tables:

204 - Ichigo Kurosaki & Andrew Wiggin
211 - Michael Guerin & Naomi Wildman
222 - Edmund Pevensie
307 - Lucas Scott & Momoko Akatsutsumi
314 - Susan Pevensie & Chuck Bass
315 - Lee Adama & Warren Peace
401 - Jenny Sparks & Agnes Nitt
403 - Hannibal King & Angela Montenegro
416 - Viki & Bumblebee
505 - Bender & Katina Choovanski
501 - Sam Witwicky & Helen Haras-Uquara

Current students who had been assigned new rooms and/or roommates had been handwavily informed of the change.

Ichigo glanced down at the subsitute shinigami badge dangling from the keychain attached to his trousers. So far it had been quiet and it was a small island so the chances of running into a hollow seemed slim. He hoped. Sharing a room with someone who didn't know what he was, wasn't going to be easy.

So how did someone named Andrew Wiggin look? Wiggin sounded funny.

Chuck was very pleased to see that he was living on Blair's floor and even more pleased to find that his roommate was a girl. Or had a girl's name. He was pleased either way.

Re: Meet Your Roommate (Summer 2008 - 2.0)

His roommate was a girl.

Let's pause and back that up.

His roommate was. A. Girl.

Hannibal kinda already loved this place.

"What?! Oh no. No, no, no, no!" Helen's hands were on her hips as she glared at the list of roommate assignments. "I am not rooming with a boy."

She'd known this whole thing was a bad idea.

A bumblebee? She tilted her head at the list and hummed a little. Did bees go to school here, then? How odd.

Well, she supposed, it was no stranger than the Kobolds and they managed quite well back home. She'd have to see.

"And hopefully I don't get stung," she mused. "That would be unpleasant..."

Current and new teachers, feel free to start your mingling here.

Juli had to admit she was unsure about being a... teaching buddy, as it were. Ah well. Nothing she could do to change it. The school seemed quite intent this semester to mess up her pattern as it was, so...

She'd just have to adapt.

Juli glanced around curiously.
