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

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.]

Jenny looked her roommate up, then down, then said, "Tell me you're not a sodding cheerleader."

((Was offline yesterday, sorry.))

Oh. Oh, this was just great. Jenny was thin and pretty and BLOND. And a total bitch, Perdita contributed. Agnes tried very hard not to hate her.

"Er... I'm not a cheerleader?" she ventured, in her Cheerful and Friendly voice. "Hi, I'm Agnes. You must be Jenny. I'm sure we'll get along splendidly together."

[No worries. It's all good.]

Why yes, Jenny was all of those things. She was also smoking. "The last roommate was a cheerleader," she said darkly, and, "Here's hoping we don't kill each other before fall," Jenny said by way of agreeing with Agnes. "And yes, I'm Jenny Sparks, formerly of London, Spirit of the Twentieth Century and yes I know what year it is."

"I thought the Spirit of the Century was an old man with an hourglass and scythe," Agnes babbled, trying to make conversation. "And, anyway, that he didn't exist -- he's just a metaphor, like the Tooth Fairy or the Hogfather. But... I guess not? And I'm very glad you know what year it is, because I don't, but I'm not sure why you'd announce it like that."

That took Jenny a moment to decipher. "Right, so you're completely barmy, or you're not from around here. Which is it? Not that I have a problem with either, mind."

"You're walking around telling people you're the Spirit of the Century, and you think I'M mad?" Agnes asked. "I'm just a bit... disoriented, is all. I'm new, here."

"I'm the Spirit of the Twentieth Century. It's 2008. People frequently notice I'm past my expiration point," Jenny told her.

"You number the years around here? That must make things so much more convenient! Back home it's the Year of the Incontinent Grasshopper, which is near the end of the Century of the Fruitbat." She peered at Jenny a little grumpily. "And you sure don't LOOK like you're past your expiration date," she muttered.

"You should've seen me in 2001. Well, you shouldn't've, actually, I was six feet under and decomposing. But. Yes. You must be from somewhere different. Alternate reality, perhaps?"

"...Something like that, yeah," Agnes confirmed. "So... You look really good, for a zombie. You must have had a really good necromancer, huh?"

"Oh, no, I'm not a zombie. I'm properly back from the dead. But I did have some really good shamans backing that up, yeah."
