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!]

"Uh," Bobby blinked, because that was sort of... oddly specific. "We have an ice cream store! And I think there's a gym class this session. They probably do that ball-running-after thing a lot."

"Any Dunkin' Donuts?"

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

"Noooo," Bobby shook his head. "But we've got Jeff, God of Biscuits!"

"...interesting god to have," Maladicta said, being as polite as she could manage on the subject.

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

"He takes his job very seriously," Bobby said, because while he'd never actually seen proof that there was an actual god of biscuits... Fandom. He wasn't ruling it out. "I could take you to check out the store," he offered. "You know, in case there isn't enough junk food here for you."

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

"I don't eat... junk food," Maladicta replied as it was seemingly hardwired into any vampire ever. "But I am fond of coffee."

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

[longislandiceme]

"Oh!" Bobby was momentarily puzzled by the idea of someone who didn't like junk food, but he didn't let that get to him. "Then the Perk is where you wanna be. Best coffee on the island." Shh, don't tell Lacey.

She was a tricky little sister like that!

"You'll take me then?"

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

[longislandiceme]

"Of course!" Whatever the employees at the Perk felt about his roommate, they hadn't banned him from coffee. Yet.

"Then I think you'll be an excellent big brother," Maladicta said with a grin. "Tell me, have you heard of the Überwald League of Temperance?"

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

[longislandiceme]

"I, uh, can't say that I have," Bobby admitted. "Überwald- is that in Europe?"

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

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

"I can't say I've heard of 'Europe' before. Is it on the Counter-weight Continent?"

Which was distinctly lacking in umlauts.

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

[longislandiceme]

"Counterwha?" Yeah, he'd figure out the 'different worlds' thing eventually.

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

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

He was just lucky he had that adorable thing going for him. Otherwise, he'd never make it.

"...where are we exactly?"

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

[longislandiceme]

Well, that and being an X-Man. Even if he died he'd probably just come back a few months later.

"Maryland," Bobby supplied. Helpfully.

With new powers or edgy backstory!

"Not on the Disc?"

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

[longislandiceme]

"Depends what disc we're talking about," Bobby admitted. "I mean, I'm pretty sure it'd be in any Encyclopedia worth the name, but you never know."

Oh, hilarious misunderstandings. Will you ever get old?

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

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

Never!

"...the Disc. On the back of A'Tuin?"

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

[longislandiceme]

"Gesundheit," Bobby replied automatically.

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

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

Maladicta nodded, patting him once on the arm. "Good to know that is universal."

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

[longislandiceme]

"Riiiiight," Bobby drawled. "What's an achooin?"

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

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

"Never mind," Maladicta said with too much cheer. "Tell me about this place."

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

[longislandiceme]

He was starting to get the feeling she wasn't from around here. Hmmm.

"Fandom? It's kind of- I feel like I should just make a list. It's gonna rain weird stuff, probably food, at some point. People transform into other people or just think they're other people. I hear there's gremlins but I've been here a year now and never actually seen one... oh yeah, and there's a bunch of people from different worlds or times here," he rattled off. It was clear he'd said this speech a few times by now, yeah.

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

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

"Right." She was just going to nod for the moment. "Good to know then."

That wasn't insane at all!

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

[longislandiceme]

Fandom was a bastion of normalcy. Really.

"You've got a good hat, at least," Bobby observed. "That'll help with the syrup rain."
