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.]

She raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm."

It was an approving noise, though one that spoke of curiosity as well. Another mark to the tally towards her judgment on this place. Whether she was out of time at the moment or not. It certainly spoke for that theory.

"I'm glad to see that in the future, educators have learned a thing or two as well as students. I am assuming, however, that detentions are still used?"

"When the administration manages to hold one," Tyler nodded. "I only had to give one so far. Some girl felt the need to make it clear how stupid she thought I was for not letting her pretend to kill civilians."

Which reminded him of something. "You should know about Danger Shop. Tell the computer what you want, and it sets up a really good simulation of it. It's like walking into computer animation. I have no idea where they got the technology."

"It sounds absolutely fascinating," she told him with a slightly oversweet smile.

"You will have to tell me what a 'computer' is, however."

Tyler gave her a blank look.

Then he remembered she was from 1898.

"It's a ..." right, he could explain this; it just required he pretended he didn't know what one was, which took some mental gyrations. "Box," he finally said. "That kind of makes things happen. You can play games or do math, write letters, build weapons, read books on this thing called the Internet ... Look, when you get your office number, let me know and I'll walk you through it."

"Does it run on magic or technology?"

It would, at least, give her a kind of framework to set her assumptions on.

"Technology," he said, then, clarifying. "Electricity."

"I had assumed," she said with a brief smile.

"Well... you will have to explain that strange little glamourbox to me sometime next week. I have no class on Monday, if you'd like to do so then handwavily or not?"

"Mondays are normally my office days anyhow," Tyler told her. "I'll stop by when you're set up."

"Sounds just fine to me," she said with a nod of her head.
