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

It might have been the start of the fall semester, but it was definitely still summer in Fandom. The sun was shining and the temperature was already starting to get high, even as the NPC crew set things up for the day.

Luckily, the school knew how to take care of folks on days like today. Beneath the blue and gold streamers and balloons, tables had been set up with cold drinks and food, and an entire section devoted to offering up different ~~moddable~~ 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.

With everything set up and the crew out of the way, it was time for the picnic to begin!

[~~Please wait for OCD!~~ The 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. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"Eighties. Pop. Tiffany. Unless you loathe Dutch metal bands or something, I'm sure I could find some way to oblige you," she replied.

"So you punish people by putting music in their head? Is that like magic or just a really loud stereo system?" Nico asked with interest.

"Science, darling, I punish people with Science," she replied, utterly deadpan as she wriggled her fingers at him. "Thank to whims of my DNA, I'm a telepath."

"Telepath? I've never known any demigod with that power," he considered. "Have you been claimed?"

"Claimed?" Seriously? "Any who thinks they can 'claim' me is in for a rather nasty shock."

"...I meant your parentage?" What a reaction.

"Winston and Hazel Frost, Boston, and yes, if you've heard of Frost Enterprises it's that Frost Enterprises," she replied warily. "Although given how well Winston and I get along, I rather assume I've been disowned by now rather than being claimed as a member of the family."

Considering how hard Nico had worked in his life to be accepted by various parts of his family, he didn't get that at all. "Riiiiiight."

"What is that supposed to mean?" she asked, annoyance creeping into her tone.

"It means we seem to have differences in how we deal with family," Nico returned. Search for enough years and you'll cling to whatever you find.

"You're the one that inquired about my parentage for no particular reason," Emma pointed out. "Although I still don't understand what that has to do with me being claimed or whatever."

"You have powers," Nico said like this was the obvious explanation. "I wondered which god had claimed you as their child."

"You're from a magic world, aren't you? Karla's going to lap you up like a cat let loose in the creamery," she sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose.

"I met Thor once, but he didn't proclaim any of us his offspring or anything like that. I'm the next step in human evolution, not any sort of godling," she explained. "Although given your reaction, I'm guessing you are."

"Demigod," he said, distracted by thoughts of getting lapped up by anyone...

"Demigod. Seriously. What pantheon...."

Emma trailed off and sighed. She didn't need to be a telepath to read that face, and she rolled her eyes, snapping her fingers in front of him. "Earth to heavenly pervert," she sang. "I was asking you a question."

[Being abducted for dinner with ninjas, back in a few hours!]

"Huh?" Nico rewound her words trying to give up an answer. "Oh. Ancient Greek?"
