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.]

"We have a lot to talk about," Hannibal said. "But, just trust that this place is a little strange. You dealt with strange?"

Merlin laughed, somewhere between nervous and knowing. "You could certainly say that."

"Then, you'll be okay," Hannibal assured him. "How was your trip here? Didn't run into delays?"

"Actually," Merlin said, thinking of one thing. "We couldn't find the stables when we arrived."

And no one came to greet the visiting prince, which was odd.

"Would you know where the horses should be taken?"

"Yeah, there's some stables around the dorms, I think," Hannibal said. "I don't actually go there because I don't have a horse but there's one there. Might be a place in town for grooming and stuff too. We?"

Merlin looked around for-- the prince he lost. Oh, bollocks.

"Arthur and I." A moment later he remembered himself. "Prince Arthur."

"Prince?" Ooh, he'd have to find that guy. "So, you're a prince too? Prince Merlin?"

"Me?" Merlin laughed for real at that one. "No, I'm just a servant."

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling (Spring 2009)

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Servant?" Okay, that was a new one. "He orders you around?"

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling (Spring 2009)

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"That would be int he job description," Merlin admitted. "...don't you have them here?"

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling (Spring 2009)

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Uh, not here here," Hannibal said. "And they're not really called servants. And they get paid."

Merlin just stared. "Northumbria is much different than I thought."

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling (Spring 2009)

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Well, this place is a lot different than most places," he replied. "Maybe you won't have to be a servant here."

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling (Spring 2009)

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Merlin snorted in amusement. "I don't think you've met Arthur yet."

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling (Spring 2009)

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"You're the first person I've met so nope, haven't," Hannibal said. "He's a bitchy prince?"

Most princes in movies were bitchy.

Merlin was not going to laugh at that. Merlin was not going to laugh at that. "He's not that bad. He's-- learning."

"So, you're his servant," Hannibal said. "Are you his friend too?"

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling (Spring 2009)

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Not that he'll admit it," Merlin said under his breath.

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling (Spring 2009)

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"You know, it might be tough to be his servant here," Hannibal said. "Unless you guys took the same classes."

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling (Spring 2009)

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Classes?"

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling (Spring 2009)

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"You...are at a school," Hannibal said slowly. "You know that, right?"

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling (Spring 2009)

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"...We were here for Arthur to rest after he was injured," Merlin said, eyes wide. "Where would I find the school?"

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling (Spring 2009)

"It's the big building right over my shoulder," he said. "You aren't supposed to be here, then?"

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling (Spring 2009)

"No, we were on our way to Northumbria," Merlin replied. "Where are we?"

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling (Spring 2009)

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Place called Fandom," Hannibal said. "Island. I have no idea where Northumbria is."
