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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Since the area with all the informational signs was bound to get a bit clogged up, even more tables and chairs had been set up on the lawn, in a slightly different spot.

Claire was still trying to work through everything Peter had told her, but she had a plate of food and was keeping an eye out for any other people she might know.

Okay, Turtle was thinking that this girl looked kind of familiar, in a way that she wasn't sure if she was new or not, and decided to just run the chance of simply having not talked to her much if she had been around before.

"Hi!" she gave the other girl a wave. "I'm Turtle."

Claire hoped she didn't have food stuck in her teeth or anything equally embarrassing. "Hi, I'm Claire. Are you new too?"

"Nope!" Turtle chirped brightly. "I'm a seasoned veteran here. So if you need any help with anything, Claire, I'd be happy to throw in a hand. How are you liking it so far?"

"It's a little overwhelming," Claire admitted. "But I think I'm going to like it just fine."

After all, it had Peter.

"Just take it good and slow," Turtle offered with a bit of a grin. "That's my advice."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"I think that's the best advice I've gotten all day," Claire said.

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"You must have gotten some pretty crappy advice, then," Turtle had to admit with a light laugh. "I figured it was pretty basic."

"Well, I got warned about invasions and people from different planets and all that," Claire said.

"Are you completely weirded out yet?" Jon asked as walked up to Claire. He even had an extra drink for her.

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

Claire grinned and accepted the drink gratefully. "Yeah, a little. I ran into someone I wasn't expecting to run into. You?"

"Met this chick named Dinah who thought I was a dead friend. Of course, that was after I found out my big sis Adora is from another planet." He was actually handling things rather well.

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"Dinah's my roommate," Claire said. "And, well, I ran into someone I thought was dead. Also? My big brother, Leto, is from another planet."

She shook her head. "Sounds like we're both having very interesting days."

"You know, for once I feel like I fit right in." Something he hadn't had since, well, he was created.

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

"Oh? Does that mean you're used to all this weirdness?" she asked.

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[asgardcreated.livejournal.com]

Jon snickered and nodded. "Yeah. Weird is my life."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"What kind of weird?" Claire asked.

Savannah was wandering the crowd when she saw a familiar face. She stopped and stared for a moment to make sure she was seeing who she thought she saw.

With a whoop of happiness, she ran over and hugged Claire.

"Oh my god, Claire! You came back! I'm so glad you came back!"

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

Woah, that was unexpected.

"Um. Sorry, but I'm not the Claire you knew," she said.

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah let go of her at that and frowned. The she started blushing.

"Oh. I'm so sorry. You look like my friend Claire Bennet. She was a good friend and ended up leaving about halfway through the year."

Savannah did look disappointed.

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

Claire nodded.

"Sorry. I mean, I'm Claire, but, not that Claire. This is my first day in Fandom."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah was so embarrassed. "I'm so sorry. You just could be her twin."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, um... okay, I'm from a... different universe," Claire said. "But, I'm registered here under the name Butler. Because of some people who might be looking for me."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah immediately sobered. "I'm Savannah Levine," she said, extending her hand. "Having been in that situation before where people are looking for me, it sucks."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009]

"Nice to meet you, Savannah," Claire said, shaking her hand. "If you were close to the other Claire, you probably know why they're looking for me."
