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.]

"Just desert?" she asked, wincing. "Wow, after that, you must've had a time adjusting to a place like this."

Sookie was having a time adjusting to all the...diversity here, as well, but she was repressing it. She could deal with all that later.

"I only lived there until I was nine," Tahiri explained, and looked down at her bare feet; she decided she wasn't going to drop the whole story about being raised by a generally-feared nomadic tribe that had killed her parents (but it had been an accident really) on poor Sookie just yet. "That was when one of the Jedi teachers found out I had Force abilities and took me to the Academy on Yavin 4. It's more jungle there, and lots cooler, so I pretty much gave up on shoes after that. Fandom was a different kind of adjusting."

Sookie nodded along. "That makes sense. And I'm pretty sure I haven't spent a summer in shoes my whole life, except when I've had to," she added. "Not 'cause it's cool at home, but because it's so hot. And humid."

"Ugh, humidity," Tahiri said with an eloquent grimace. "But I guess that's better than having to stay wrapped up all the time in the heat because of sandstorms."
