Eat, drink, and be merry until the post starts to break your browser.

Ino all but vibrated with glee as she bounced looking for people to talk to.

Giselle was far too excited as she almost danced around, looking for new people to talk to. Or old people! People of all ages! Ooh, maybe there'd be a dwarf.

Alright. Free food. No way he could object to that. Ichigo filled up a plate with... With a lot of things and he found a table to lean against. He watched the people around him, sometimes sparing a look at the school. He really was going to attend classes inside a castle?

Naomi was definitely happy to mingle.

Meg was there and looked cheerful despite the fact that she was kind of bummed that this could be her last chance to scare new kids.

Chuck had a drink in his hand and was trying his best to look anti-social to the people that didn't meet his standards and to look approachable to the people who did (i.e. girls).

Basically it was the difference between a bitchface and a knowing smirk.

Lois was there and keeping her eye out for shirtless guys to stare at. She loved this school, she really did.

"Oooh, mingling," Hannibal after wandering over and grabbing a drink. "Now all I need is a monocle and a pretentious name like...Harold. Vincenzo. Yeah, that one's better. Vincenzo the millionaire playboy Lego mogul who mingles and wines and dines. I'm awesome."

Ender sat quietly, a plate of food in his lap and his eyes trained on the picnic. It was a little chaotic, and he found himself missing, not for the first time, the quiet order of Battle School, or even his old room in Eros.

But where he sat, it was quiet, and it gave him the opportunity to observe.

Liz was there and mingling.

Amber was casually milling around, a cup of punch in hand. She wasn't shy, but she didn't figure she was that great at meeting new people. A face among many; that's what she was.

Johnny's been to a few of these now and he'd learned off the bat that going shirtless was the way to do it.

Dawn was there, partaking of free food and drink, and very possibly not thinking about how this would be her last one of these ever.

Oooh, look. Antarctica was pretty.

[ooc: Going out for a few hours, but will be home after that!]

Helen was "mingling" - if by mingling you mean standing around and trying not to glare too much.

But if you count that, then yes, she was doing as she'd been instructed.

At least there was good food.

There was a new semester starting and new students arriving, so, of course, Chad and Prince Oscar Pedro were sitting on the top of one of the sturdier picnic tables, playing music to either entertain or draw in the attention of anyone who might want to meet them. Softly playing, as not to intrude. He knew the first day here could be a lot to handle on its own.

Okay. Newer people than him now. This officially probably made Cal no longer a newbie, which he supposed was monumental, but he couldn't say it was exactly exciting. He watched, mostly just out of curiosity, leaning against a tree and enjoying the fact that this was outside to have a bit of a smoke.

Once she'd got her bearings, Angela finally settled in to the mingling. This was her idea of a good time.

... The weather wasn't, really. It'd been fine to a point, but that point was quickly being reached. She could've sworn it was gorgeous out when she left DC, now her t-shirt and skirt weren't looking like such a smart option. How could it be so damn cold in mid-summer?

Still, she clutched her hot chocolate, tried not to seem cold as she looked around the place, and smiled hopefully at anyone who met her gaze.

Romeo was entirely willing to engage in some social merriment. He leaned against a tree, watching for new people. Or old people. He wasn't feeling fussy.

Jack was being his usual idiotic self and wandering around the Arctic air or Antarctic air or whatever in his warmest pants and boots...and that classy tank top.

Ooh, food? Food!

Ned wasn't a new kid anymore. For some reason, that made him feel a little more relaxed about being out at this picnic. He didn't have the urge to run away, didn't want to become a hermit in the mountains and he wasn't new.

He could do this. Socialization. He was learning.

Glad for the distraction the picnic offered, John grabbed a plate of food and set to the task of standing and eating at the same time. There was some coordination involved to make the task appear easy.

Viki, while still missing out on the banquet--and had it happened already, or was it to occur in the future?--was quite pleased to find food here.

She helped herself to a plate, and wandered to sit under a tree and blink at all the people.

There was free food and fresh faces. Kevin tried to place himself right in the middle of it, smiling, eating, and generally checking out every dude that walked past.

And it's not like he decided to take his shirt off to impress people, he just wasn't wearing one in the first place.
