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

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

If anyone had hoped for good weather for the picnic, their wish had been granted as the day turned out to be sunny and warm. Everything had been cleaned up, spiffed up and bedazzled dazzled made as perfect as possible for the new arrivals. They deserved at least a few moments of pleasantness before the weirdness started to sink in.

May whatever deity they believed in help them now.

As usual, there were long tables set up with food and drinks, 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. With everything in place, the picnic was ready 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.]

Meet Your Big/Little Sibling (Spring 2009)

For your fake sibling meeting needs!

Angela grabbed a nametag, adding a little of her own decoration (in the form of some little flowers) to the edges, and loitered where she hoped her new little sibling could find her.

The list didn't give her a name to look for, so she just had to hope she was noticeable enough.

Toby loved newbie day. The weather was perfect, he could go shirtless without any stares, and he had the most fantastic pink sparkling lotion coating his buff chest. The shine was amazing.

Oh, and he had a sign with huge, colorful letters calling out for his sibling, Claudia.

And a nametag stuck to his pec. What? It was required.

It was a little sad to think that this was going to be the last little sibling Chad would collect, but he didn't let that deter him from the usual attempts to find his. There was a sign, of course, with the name Arthur Pendragon scrawled across it, easy to spot since Chad could hold it up pretty well above the crowd if he had to.

Arthur Pendragon. Why did that name seem kind of familiar? Especially since Chad was certain he didn't know any Arthurs.

Well, there was that one teacher...

...wait, no. That was Alfred.

...

Never mind. He was just going to keep looking for an Arthur-type looking personage.

Adora had happily rejoined her white horse, Spirit when the transport from the Portal drop had arrived. She was surprised to find a nametag for herself that read Princess Adora, but still attached it to her tight clothing without edit before she created a little nametag for Spirit and stuck it to his golden mane.

Dean had put on his nametag and was looking around for someone who looked like an Emmett.

Something had gotten smudged on Priestly's name tag, completely obscuring his first name.

He was looking a little proud of himself for that one.

Hannibal didn't know what kind of name Merlin was but hey, he could relate. He was a Hannibal, after all.

So, he stuck his nametag to his shirt and wandered around.

Tahiri headed down to the picnic and found her nametag, a little surprised to realize she'd been here an entire term already. It was kind of neat to be helping out the newbies instead of being one of them.

. . . she kind of thought "Sookie Stackhouse" was a little bit of a strange name. Her standards were a little skewed that way.

Tony held up a cardboard sign on which he'd written "Zayne" with a Sharpie.

It was strange to think she was no longer one of the new kids. But not a bad thing.

Meg found her name tag and looked around for someone called Eowyn.

Buffy had never been a big sibling before, but she was sure it couldn't be too hard, right? She made sure her nametag was in place before looking for someone who might be named Gabriel. Not that she knew what a Gabriel might look like, but- look over there, the Goodyear blimp!

Lion-o dutifully put on his name tag, then started looking around for a Leto. It would be hard not to miss Lion-o with all the red hair, even if you didn't see the name tag.

Dinah was already taller than most of the crowd, but she still got up on a chair to look around for anyone who looked like a Jamie. Was Jamie a boy or a girl? Man, why didn't get a really easy name to figure out for her Big Sib?

Harper was all excited to be back in Fandom. She had gone a little overboard with the pieces of flair today, with big, dangly earrings that looked vaguely like tomatoes, and a plastic tiara in her hair instead of her normal headband. If you could see past those, she also had a schoolgirl uniform with a plaid skirt that clashed with her paisley tights.

She worried about her nametag clashing with her ensemble for a moment, then went ahead and put it on anyway. Then she started looking for a Hurley.

Summer wandered over to the welcome picnic to greet her little sibling. She looked around for someone named Dahlia.

Romeo had neatly written his name on his nametag, and was looking for anyone who seemed like she might be a Jill.

Meet Your Roommate (Spring 2009)

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

The list of roommate assignments was located in a prime spot on one of the tables. Current students who had been assigned new rooms and/or roommates had been handwavily informed of the change.

Room 304: Claudia Kishi, Zayne Carrick
Room 232: Dahlia Mancini, Tony Foster
Room 312: Dinah Lance, Yasutaro Sado
Room 516: Eowyn, Lois Lane
Room 417: Harper Finkle, Jill McTeague
Room 407: Merlin, Cal Stephanides
Room 211: Boaz Priestly, Naomi Wildman
Room 215: Prince Edward, Van Helsing
Room 415: Sookie Stackhouse, Worf
Room 434: Emmett Cullen
Room 231: Molly Carpenter, Giselle
Room 429: Reno, Edmund Pevensie

Chad knew, since he was down a roommate for a while, that there was always the possibility that the spot might be filled in. That still didn't seem to keep him from being a little surprised to see that, this time, it actually had been.

"Oh," he said, tilting his head at the list.

And then glanced around, trying to spot someone with the nametag of Dinah Lance.

Even if any attempts to visualize what Dinah Lance might look like resulted in imagining Alice's cat.

"OoHoo! I have a rooom! Two hundred and fifteen!" Prince Edward exclaimed in amazement.

The horse was laughing. This was never a good sign.

"Don't laugh, Spirit, it's not funny," Adora complained. "This Prince Dor of Xanth could hear and think me completely unfit as a roommate. Just because I've never shared a room before doesn't mean I'm not capable now. I've camped out with the other Rebels enough that sharing shouldn't be too much trouble."

Cal had glanced at the roommate list with a hope that he knew he should have figured was futile. Alex moving out was too good to be true, really, so he knew he shouldn't have been too disappointed to realize that his spot had already been filled.

But he was. He groaned a little, shoulders slagging. "Ugh."

"What kind of name is Merlin, anyway?" he muttered.

Re: Meet Your Roommate (Spring 2009)

Priestly quickly scribbled his first name out on the roommate list, then looked around for whomever Naomi was.

Co-ed room assignments. No way had his parents paid that close attention to what school they were sending him to. Unless Naomi was somehow a guy.

Hey, he wasn't there to judge.

And please, feel free to get them to start drinking early!

Deadpool, of course, was there.

And still humming TV themes from the 70s.
