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.]

"Very good."

She looked around for a moment, her gaze flicking down to Mike shortly before she spoke again.

"Please consider any skills I may have at your disposal should you require assistance as such."

Abby Irene smiled faintly.

"Hopefully, nothing of the like should come up, but I make the offer all the same."

"Thank you kindly for the offer," Fraser said appreciatively. "There are...some unusual occurrences that happen every so often that your skill set might be useful for."

"I had assumed as such, considering the nature of the island itself as I've been told of it," she admitted.

"Yes, this place is quite unusual," he agreed. "And I don't know what you've heard but I'm sure you will be hearing a lot more."

"I've only heard that the island moves, much as historians believe Atlantis and Lemuria were capable of doing."

She raised an eyebrow at the Constable.

"Is there anything in particular I should be aware of?"

"Our last vice principal went a little power hungry and tried to take over the island," Fraser said. "And he let loose demons and beasts."

Her eyes went a touch hard and her back straightened.

"Certainly not the sort of gentleman I would want to work under," she said with a shake of her head. "I assume that he has since been removed from the position?"

"He has," Fraser said, nodding. "It took a bit of elbow grease but he is gone. Good riddance."

"Demonologists and necromancers usually do. They have a terrible habit of leaving a stain."

"Good riddance indeed. There's been some efforts to stamp out the practices, of course, but you know how that is. Knowledge is necessary, even when it can be turned towards terrible ends."

"Indeed," he said, nodding. "He's been one of the many unusual occurrences we've had the pleasure of hosting. I don't want to overwhelm you on your first day though."

She settled her shoulders.

"I assure you, I don't overwhelm easily, though I appreciate your concern."

Abby Irene waved her hand and gave him a smile.

"I'm sure there are other topics we could move onto. It's best not to discuss the demonic any more than is necessary."

Re: Meet Your Teachers (Summer 2008 - 2.0)

"Indeed," he agreed. "And there will be time for the more...unusual talk. What are you teaching this semester?"

"I decided on a basic cryptozoology course," she informed him with a faint smile. "It's a relative interesting topic, useful, and not too heavily academic, at least not in my opinion."
