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.]

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.

Aly couldn't have been dragged away from the picnic with a set of wild horses, and she lounged against a tree, watching the picnic interestedly.

"Hey Aly," Arashi smiled as he wandered over and offered her a glass of punch, or whatever it was that was in the punch bowl.

She eyed the punch warily, only accepting it when she assured herself it wasn't alcohol. "Thank you. Enjoying yourself?"

Did Murdock go anywhere without coffee? Probably not. Armed with said beverage, Murdock wandered around the picnic, checking out familiar faces and new ones.

The Doctor couldn't very well pass up the opportunity to meet new people. He was out and about and trying the food. Food was great. He loved food. There was also the fact that they were in Antarctica and he had no idea how. Food and surprises. He loved those.

Marshall was not going to miss a picnic. Picnic food was awesome.

He was in the middle of eating his third hot dog when he spotted some movement near the potato salad. Marshall jumped and almost dropped his hot dog when he saw what he thought he saw. He bravely moved for a closer inspection only to find that the area around the potato salad was empty.

That couldn't have been...could it?

From somewhere just off to the side of him, Lily said, "Fancy meeting you here."

Abby Irene was there, wearing her usual blue corduroy traveling dress that was thick enough to keep out any stray cold breezes and yet not too hot for the lovely warm day. She had decided, as she wasn't going to need to set up a circle in the next few hours, to leave her carpet bag back with the carriage though her silver-tipped ebony wand was very much on her person in case of emergency.

She didn't think there would be an emergency, but they didn't exactly come calling with a card and a bouquet of roses, now, did they?

You can do this, Abby Irene. It's not as if you didn't spend enough time in school.

She smiled winningly, charmingly in fact, and hoped that her students had never heard her name. It would make things easier, she figured.

At her feet, her terrier lay in the grass, content to watch all the people milling about. If they had heard her name, she figured, the dog might help to ease any fears.

There were only so many female teachers, as it turned out, and Tyler took a blind guess as to which of those he didn't recognize might be Abigail. It sounded like a name that went with Victorian dresses and small dogs.

"Hey," he greeted. "Are you Abigail Garrett?"

Oh hey! A new teacher! She had to be a teacher. Didn't seem the right age for a student.

"Mornin' to you, ma'am," Murdock tipped his ballcap a bit. "I'd ask if you were new, but since I ain't seen ya before, I figure it's kinda obvious," he grinned. "Murdock, HM. Welcome to Fandom!"

Hands behind her back and chin up, Harriet was looking rather sentry-like as she surveyed the students and teachers, both new and old.

Such an expression made her think of the police officers she often worked with and as it was a touch of familiarity in an all-too unfamiliar place, Abby Irene slowly made her way over to the other woman. Mike followed along, tongue wagging cheerfully.

"Would you happen to be campus security, or simply the headmistress?"

It was an assumption, based purely on her observations of other school officials during her years at various educational facilities. Such watchfulness could be either a specific job or the possessive dedication of a leader. It could be something else, of course, but she wouldn't bet on it.

Tyler hadn't really expected to be assigned a buddy, but it looked like he had been. He stood with his hands in his pockets, watching for anyone who seemed as though she might be an Abigail, or anyone else worth talking to.

As it happened, an Abigail Irene was no more than a few paces away, pouring out some water from a flask for her terrier.

She greeted him, just to be polite, with a quick wave and a small, somewhat sly smile.

Of course Fraser was out and about in full uniform. He hadn't missed one of these since his arrival. No reason to start now.

Re: Meet Your Teachers (Summer 2008 - 2.0)

[brandyforapples.livejournal.com]

"Constable Fraser, I presume?"

The uniform was a dead giveaway for her, as was the bearing...at least when it came to him being a constable. The name 'Fraser' had been provided by Dean Jones earlier, as had the information that such a man was the head of campus security. It was for this reason that she had made her way to him.

Full uniform meant hat.

Hat meant Deadpool.

Deadpool meant... Something something.

"Benny!"

Ronon scowled at his nametag before ripping it off his chest and crinkling it into a ball. It didn't work well with the leather and Ronon was pissed that they'd made him give up his gun and sword.

At least he still had the dozen knives in his hair no one had checked for.

"You're a very tall man," Deadpool greeted him with. New adult hanging with the teachers, without a name tag, vaguely scifi name and the whole rugged mad Max look about him...

Had to be the teaching buddy.

If not, he was going to hit up the Bea Arthur chick.

Mike snagged himself some food and a cold beverage, then watched out for the new people while enjoying his food.

Mohinder was taking a moment to enjoy the unexpected warmth after the last few days. He held onto a hot cup of coffee though, and wondered how long the raised temperature would last.

Arashi sat at one of the picnic tables as far away from Wade as he could possibly manage.

He looked friendly if not odd as there were still bruises covering a good majority of his body.

Lulu mingled. Like a mingling thing.

Mostly, she hung around the food table, nibbling on random tidbits. ... Mostly of the chocolate variety.
