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.]

"Not really."

He didn't hear the word 'world'. Not because he didn't hear it, but because he didn't want to.

"I hail from Camelot," Arthur supplied. "It's to the south-east." The servant hadn't seemed to know of it.

Leto wasn't familiar with the local geography - he would have to look into that soon - so he just assumed Camelot was a place south-east of Fandom. "So what made you chose this school?"

"I did not," he said, "My father..." Arthur was not happy. Not in the slightest. His jaw set. "Felt I needed a change."

"My stepmother thought something similar," Leto replied. "But who are we to disagree with our seniors," he added, the irony clear to anyone who knew him.

There was only one answer Arthur required to that.

"The next in line."

Leto grinned. "Ah, but that means we always have to wait and be patient."

"Bide our time," he agreed, "But that hardly means keeping out of it if you disagree." Uther might have always had the last call, but Arthur had never, would never save his opinion if there was opportunity to give it.

"That way your father too would have to develop patience, and balance is achieved." He wondered what kind of ruler the boy's father was.

"Such is the theory," Arthur agreed. The practice was a different story, but that was none of Leto's business yet.

Leto gave a laugh in reply, which could be interpreted in many ways. "Any theory needs testing," he said.

[I'm off to bed soon!]

Re: Meet Your Roommate (Spring 2009)

[bitchprince]

"It does," he agreed, "And sometimes testing again, in different circumstances."

"Long term research often yields more accurate results," Leto agreed with a grin.
