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

[bigdamnprincipal]

The recent cold front had been a welcome weather pattern as far as Zoe was concerned, and she was very grateful for how things had turned out today - it was sunny and breezy, and just cool enough that no one would pass out from heat exhaustion. Hopefully.

Beneath the blue and gold streamers and balloons, tables had been set up with drinks and food, including an entire table of moddable different ice cream flavors. As always, there was a stack of nametags set down next two signs: one listing the Big Sibling/Little Sibling pairings, and one listing rooms and roommates for the new students.

[OCD is up! Have at it! 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. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Summer 2010-2]

[bigdamnprincipal]

Come and meet your new fake siblings! Try to at least say hello to them before starting to break their brains.

Well, the last two times Jonothon had signed up for this sibling program hadn't turned out to be total disasters, no. And so he'd gone ahead and decided to do this big sibling thing one more time.

And that was why he was here, of course, nametag fastened to his bandages as carefully as possible to keep any from tugging out of the way, keeping an eye out for somebody by the name of Madison.

A picture would have been great. Kyle was good at identifying people by picture. Today he had to go without. He planted himself near the roommate listing, cupped his hands around his mouth and called out every few minutes. "Luke Castellan? Anyone know Luke Castellan?" Chances were he was mispronouncing the surname.

Quinn tweaked her ponytail so it would sit exactly right, squared the nametag on her chest, and started walking around looking for somebody named Kennedy. The name could have been for a boy or a girl, but so could Quinn. She just hoped they'd be cool and popular, or (failing that) at least not annoying.

Maladicta eyed the little name tag before writing her name down. Her whole name, mind. So she had a few of them filled out with tiny, neat letters.

It was really no wonder that sticking with one name cut down on the confusion.

Now, to find this Bobby fellow. And possibly another Dunkin' Donuts.

It was weird enough that Jane had to be back at yet another summer camp this summer, but there were big and little siblings? Really? Lawndale had even skipped that sort of thing, and Jane promised herself she would never tell anyone besides Daria about this, just in case she gave anyone any ideas.

And then she realized that once she was gone from that school, all graduated and at a perfectly mockable distance, then it would not only be okay, but it'd be awesome because she didn't have to deal with it.

Was she supposed to be looking for someone named Karla? She'd skipped the nametag thing and was instead standing off to the side, arms folded, trying to wish people away with the power of her mind.

'Rosalind,' Katniss thought, was a beautiful name. Any name that had a hint of a flower in it immediately made her feel more at home -- Katniss was a type of white-flowering plant at home, after all. She didn't know what a person named Rosalind might look like, though, so she kept her eye on everyone, zoning in on name tags and trying to remember everything.

[iiiii might disappear until about 5 EST, omg.]

So there was someone supposed to be his "big sibling" around. Cloud expected someone obviously older than him -although he was old enough to handle himself- that could answer his questions truthfully.

Well, bring it on.

Disoriented, Wesley turned in a circle maybe three times before sitting down on a boulder. There were way too many people at this picnic for him to go around looking for anyone. He decided to wait and see if his big sibling, Jason Todd, would come looking for him.

Claudia was looking around for her new little sibling, and trying to decide if "Prince" was a title or a first name.

Meet Your Roommate [Summer 2010-2]

[bigdamnprincipal]

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.

As an only child, Madison had never had to share a room before. This was definitely not something she was looking forward to. Of course, it could be worse -- they could be living in tents or something.

She looked around for Katniss.

Luke was used to sharing a cabin with tons of people, so this whole almost kind of having a room to himself was going to be a bit weird. Cloud was kind of a weird name, but Luke was used to it considering the names of his own family members.

"Who's Claudia?" Quinn called aloud, hoping somebody would answer.

She also hoped Claudia wouldn't be too possessive about things like closet space or the better bed.

"...roommates?" Oh, this would not do.

"Aaaaand now there are roommates," Jane muttered, seeing the list and wondering how much torture she and this other girl would inflict upon each other.

Until she actually saw the name and started wondering how much torture she and this guy would inflict upon each other.

Uhura carefully pinned her nametag to her dress, then kept a look out for her new roommate, Alexander, Prince of Daventry . It was a boy again (well, she wasn't certain, but was pretty sure it was a boy), which surprisingly, she wasn't upset about. Royalty as well. Good thing she had been practicing her curtsy.

Parker had got used to having a room to herself so wasn't exactly happy she was having to share it again.

She wondered if this Wyndam-Pryce guy would turn into furniture like her last roommate had.

"Roommates?" Alexander, who had an occasional habit of talking to himself, was intrigued by the list as he scanned it for his name. Now, this would definitely be something different! He'd never had a roommate before, and the prospect struck him as something that could be quite enjoyable.

"Now, let's see," his eyes went to the name paired with his. "Nyota Uhura. What a strange name! He must be from some exotic foreign land...!"

Maybe he'd even heard of the Land of the Green Isles! Now that he had a name, Alexander looked around, trying to find this fellow who might be his new roommate, never once thinking that the name could belong to one of the females currently around the table.

Come and meet your new teaching buddies! Try to pick the biggest troublemakers out of the new kids! Start the drinking early!

It probably wasn't any real shock that Reno was here, hands in his pockets and shoulders set in their usual slouch, and he was eyeing the crowd with a smug grin on his lips.

After all... Rookies. What was not to grin about?

... He'd probably find something sooner or later, he supposed.

The Doctor ignored everyone in his path until he had a chance to collect a few things from the food table. Biscuits, mostly, and if there was anything else you wouldn't be able to notice since they were in his pockets, possibly having disappeared from this dimension for the foreseeable future.

Then it was time for people watching! Lots of little humans and big humans and some not humans or not quite or maybe human but weird milling around, gathering and chatting.

If anyone got close enough, whether they wanted a greeting or not, they were likely to get a cheery hello.

Price didn't have a teaching buddy to meet, technically. But after having safely presided over bringing the shuttle in with the new students, he felt sticking around the picnic might be a pretty decent idea.

Plus, free snacks. Free snacks were good.

As if the Dean would miss the chance to spy any new hotties before Biff got the chance - the bastard's dibs on all blondes aside. Barney was there and not in formal wear, though he was totally suited up as usual. Summer was no excuse to dress like a slob.

Yaaaaaaaay picnic time! *dances around*
