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.

Although he was keeping an eye out for Susan and feeling slightly overwhelmed at the prospect of living here for a period of time, Edmund did his best to get the information he needed and then mingle. He really wasn't that fond of mingling, especially when he felt quite out of place in his Narnian garb, casual though it was. Oh well, he thought, onward.

About that time he noticed the sign with his name on it. He approached and bowed courteously. "I'm Edmund." He'd practised not saying his whole title. "Lady Cimorene?" he asked. "I beg you forgive any pronunciation errors."

'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.

Teyla always found herself thinking back to her first day here when new students arrived. She wasn't sure if her assigned sibling would need as much help as she had, but there was only one way to find out.

When she spotted the right nametag, she made her way over with a friendly smile. "Hello. Andrew, I presume?"

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.

[shiniernyours.livejournal.com]

Bender probably looked like someone named Bender. The extendable arms, the nickel content, and a certain serial number stamp.

In case that wasn't obvious, he was picking at a 'Bender' sticker affixed to his torso while scanning the crowd.

Mark. Meatbag. Nothing worth taking. Hmmm.

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.

Helen was wearing her name tag - under protest. How ridiculous to wear your name right out there like that. What? Were people here incapable of asking someone's name like a reasonable human being?

Though, she had to admit, if only very privately to herself, that it did make it easier to do things like, oh, say, find your Big Sibling - not that she needed one and what were the odds that anyone here had spent half the time she had slogging through and adjusting to unpleasant worlds? - when you weren't particularly interested in being social.

Oh. And there she was. Helen made her way over, not quite stomping. "Hello," she said in a not entirely rude way. "I am Helen Haras-Uquara. You are Liz Sherman, I believe."

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.

Chris showed up at the picnic, wearing a name tag and carrying a cup of coffee.

When he spotted someone with a name tag that said 'Chuck', he walked over. "Hi, I'm Chris. Are you Chuck Bass?"

"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.

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Traditionally shirtless, Alec had affixed his nametag to his chest and searched among the crowd until he found a "Hannibal". He was kind of glad that was not his name. "Hey, it's you!"

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.

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

Worf was not sure who exactly signed him up to be a "Big Brother" but he was sure that this entire thing was for someone else's amusement.

After looking at multiple people's name tags and not finding the person he decided to take initiative in the matter.

"I AM LOOKING FOR VIKI!" he announced/declared. "If you are a new student and named 'Viki' report to me now!"

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?"

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling (Summer 2008 - 2.0)

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean was looking for his new little sibling when he heard his name being called. He turned and grinned when he spotted the pretty girl with the decorated nametag. "Angela Montenegro?"

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.
