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 Teachers [Summer 2010-2]

[bigdamnprincipal]

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.

So, see, the thing was that Ino wasn't sure she was really up to attending the picnic, but it felt weird to not be, and so after making sure that Zack knew where she was going Ino had headed down with the intentions of looking around for a bit.

But first things first, she had to make sure that Reno was--still there. More for her own piece of mind than anything else, it had to be admitted, but still.

Which meant that there was a particular wee blonde Rookie, wandering over to him with a carefully arranged smile on her face. She could lie. She was going to spend the whole time here lying.

And then she was going to go back and hide her face against Zack's chest when she got tired of lying. It sounded like a good plan to her.

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.

Even if she hadn't had a touch of the Atreides Gift, it would have been easy to narrow down her target. Ghanima made her way over the young man with the bow-tie, threading her way between the children at the picnic.

"The Doctor, I presume," she greeted, nodding her head just a fraction. "Welcome to Fandom."

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.

Billy DR. HORRIBLE put on his best costume (the red jacket and black gloves) to go meet the students and faculty of Fandom High. He was rather surprised to arrive at the picnic and discover he was already there. But he supposed these things would happen on a nexus.

"Hello," he said to the man who looked remarkably like himself. "Are you my future self or one of my clones?"

For John, it was weird coming to one of these things again after eleven years away. Weirder still that he wasn't going to run around shirtless, trying to figure which new kid would be the first bit and which would refuse to accept the tales of insanity.

But this new weird couldn't stop John from smiling that he was back someplace where he'd belonged even for a little while. It helped there was food.

"You look like a fucking Sheppard," Loki said, wandering up. "Am I right? I've been honing my psychic abilities."

Or he maybe remembered John from his previous time on the island. Hair like that was hard to forget.

Iroh... Iroh...

Why was that name familiar to him?

Eh, Deadpool just shrugged and assumed he was a rap star to cut down on the existential crisis that was bound to crop up in this. He was smart like that, you see.

S-M-R-T.

Loki, being the good teacher he was, came out to the picnic to partake of the free food and to torment his new teaching buddy who also happened to be his new tenant. They would be best friends!

Maybe. Not that Loki was actively looking to be besties with anyone but it was always fun to torment new people.

Summer didn't have a teaching buddy this time around but that was going to stop her from mingling with her fellow colleagues. Plus, she wasn't going to pass up free food. Her brother would never let her live it down if she had.

Piper was both excited and nervous to be back in Fandom. Though she'd been back here many times before, this was the first time she was there as a new teacher. This would be interesting.

Kerrigan had held off on any teacher meeting and greeting until she couldn't possibly do so any longer. She'd been exploring the crowds, keeping an eye out for anyone... interesting.

But now she had settled, and stood straight but at ease, watching.

Mitchell had only barely made it out of Bristol in time to get here, but he was, at least, here. Smiling a tad, keeping to his shadows, but doing his best to look approachable - in his own fashion, which mostly involved slouching.

Oh, Faith was there.

She still felt slowly losing her mind among all the newbiness, even if she had been that months ago.

But, she was trying to look moderately lively. And drinking something non-alcoholic, for once.

The guy with the perpetually messy brown hair and the slightly worn but clearly well-loved Caprica Buccaneers vest over his t-shirt despite how warm the day threatened to be?

He looked ecstatic to be here, and was glancing around the picnic like he'd missed it just that frakking much. Hey. Sam Anders'd spent three of the best years of his life here, and he'd been gone for a couple more. He really had missed it here, even if it was still more than a little absurd that now he was here to teach.

Someone was probably still laughing about that.

Dean was still more than a little bummed about Sammy leaving, but he was there nonetheless. These things had always been a lot of fun and he was hoping it would shake him out of the crappy mood he was in.

While Jake was certain the potential of a class full of Deses and Tinnys was going to drive him to drink at some point, he hadn't actually started.

Yet.

He was going to see how the first day of official teacherdom went, at least.

"I cannot believe your mom drove us to our new job," 24 muttered, picking at the food at the buffet.

"Dude, she needed the car," 21 replied. "It's bingo night. How could she get to bingo if we had the car?"

"Still. It's undignified! How will we get anyone to respect us if we're driven around by your mom!"

"Let me remind you, my friend, we are duly licensed representatives of the Guild of Calamitous Intent," 21 answered serenely. "Our very presence is a reminder that the forces of evil are vast and worthy of respect. Besides, I don't think anyone saw the car."

Funny, neither seemed to be concerned about the effect of wearing giant butterfly costumes would have on their social standing.

Zoe had a drink in one hand and Grace in the other, cradled against her as she surveyed the crowd. There were some very familiar faces in the crowd among the new folks, and it made her feel good in a way to know that people wanted to come back.

Grace tugged on her shirt when they got close to the food table. "I want a cookie!" she said, loud enough that the people across the lawn could probably hear. Ah, children.

Beaming with pride over the successful transport of all the new students, Aquaman took a place among the teachers with hands on his slim hips, broad shoulders squared, to watch the festivities and feel his excitement for another great semester grow.

Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth, a shriveled raisin of a man in a white lab coat and comfy slippers, could only help feeling suspicious about an activity that not only suggested he should interact with people, but that he should also do it where there was free food and sunshine. He could not see how many of these things were going to bode well for him, so he was mostly hanging out by a punch bowl and forget where he was.

Granted, when he forgot, it was easy to remember, and went with a series of words amongst himself, most of which were "Wha? Who? Where am I?" and "I didn't sign up for this."

It had taken some time for Iroh to find the strange bridge he saw in his dream. When he did he had no issue with crossing over it to see where it led.

He made his way through the streets, stopping at various vendors on the way to the school. So within twenty minutes of arriving he had already found J,GOB ("Fanstastic!") and the Perk ("You call this tea?"

Of course since he found the school it meant he also found the buffet table which Iroh gladly loaded his plate with.
