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

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

The weather was nice, the school wasn't currently under attack from forces not of this universe and they were still in Iceland. Oh yeah, it was day one of the rest of the newbies' lives.

Welcome to fandom, kiddos. Try not to trip over left over sombreros from Thursday!


[Please wait for 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.]

Meet Your Big/Little Sibling (Summer 2011)

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Go put on a name tag! Otherwise everyone will just call you that person without a name tag. Awk~ward.

Jim had survived the bus ride here, by some sort of miracle, and was looking maybe a little awed by his surroundings now that he had the chance to actually look around. This place was a lot more green than anything you saw back home. Unless you counted the view through his mother's holographic window-blinds.

He stuck on a nametag and rocked on his heels a bit, propping his solar surfer against a tree and wondering just how much effort he was supposed to put into looking for this 'George' guy.

Faramir had been assigned a little sibling and so, he made certain to make it to the picnic early. Annie Edison sounded like a name from this world, if he was not mistaken, which hopefully meant he would not have to explain matters to her that he hardly understood himself.

To make certain they would not miss each other, he'd even grabbed a nametag for himself.

Big siblings? Yeah, Stan had mooore than enough of that with Shelley, thank you.

He did put on a name-tag at least. One that called him: Stan: King of N00bs. This is what happened when you allowed a child to play WoW. Do you see?

Now, to find this Chuck guy and see if he was a total lamejob.

Not only did Caroline have what she believed to be the biggest smile of anyone looking for a sibling, but she also had a huge poster welcoming Kate to the island. There had been several rough drafts, but in the end Caroline had stuck to her guns and gone all out with the glitter and Viking-appropriate color palette.

She decided it shouldn't be too difficult to draw the attention of the newest member of her Fandom family!

It was nice to know that Wesley had been in Fandom for long enough to be assigned a little sibling. And he'd happened to have two big siblings during his time as a newbie, so he considered himself qualified.

Nametag on, he looked around for this Freddie Benson person.

Things today, were not getting any less weird, but the nip of the magic in the air at her skin here comforted her a lot more than she'd ever admit. The missing weight of Slayer between her shoulder blades was less reassuring, and she was hoping like hell Greg had been right about this place being safe.

Kate wrinkled her nose at the 'Ekaterina' on her nametag, scribbled it out, and slouched against a table too keep an eye out for this Caroline person.

Okay, so Topher was pretty sure that he had flown to Maryland, not Iceland. There was something very, very weird about this place. He put on one of the stupid nametags and worked on peering around without looking like an idiot.

Warren had come back from his trip to Hawaii with Karla in a fairly light mood, in spite of the annoying itchiness along his back that came with a spring moult. He hadn't bothered covering up his wings for today's picnic. A year and a half of life on the island had broken him of that sort of thing. But he was still wearing a shirt as he looked around for somebody by the name of Jocelyn.

For now. He also understood that there were important traditions to be carried on through these things.

This was Tony's first go around at being a big sibling, so it was important he not oversleep the picnic.

This was accomplished by simply not going to sleep the night before as he worked in his lab. He was a genius, no one said he had a lick of common sense, damn it. So, a few highly caffeinated carbonated beverages later, he was ready to meet this Mercedes girl!

Oh, this was lovely: not only was he stuck slapping on a nametag like a dope, Peter was also being given a 'big sibling'. As if the siblings he had weren't enough of a pain in the ass.

Still, whoever this Karla was, they might wind up being useful. Oh, Peter doubted it, but if he was going to be stuck here all summer, he'd have to pretend to be on his best behavior, and what better way to start than to charm his school-granted 'sibling'? Oh, big sib, I'm so glad for all your help, I'd never be able to find the boy's room on my own...

He had no idea that Fate was laughing at him right now.

Simon was still nervous. Or, more to the point, he was nervous again, since he'd almost managed to relax a bit on the way, but ending up somewhere with even more people and way chillier than he'd expected was enough to put him back on edge.

He put on his nametag and started scanning the crowd for a Sookie.

Now that he knew his little sibling's name, Alexander had followed Caroline's example and made a sign, noticeable but unobtrusive, and most certainly without glitter.

It said on it, in need black writing: "Welcome, Seifer Almasy!"

Simple, but, he hoped, effective, as he glanced through some of the new arrivals in hopes to find his sibling.

After making sure her name tag was not only secured, but also dolled up a little with some hearts, Ariel set about the exciting task of finding her new little sibling. Oh, sure, some people may just settle on checking nametags, but Ariel had no compunction against going up to any new face she saw and asking, "Hi! Are you Richie?"

Eventually, she'll find the right one, right? And until then, she'll still meet new people!

Ramona had written her name in rounded letters across her nametag, sticking a couple of cartoony flowers in the upper right hand corner. (It wasn't a pun. She just liked flowers, okay.) She found herself somewhere to stand and watch, though, once she'd actually put on said nametag, her eyes scanning the crowd for someone who looked like a Dave.

Of course, 'Dave' was one of those names where everyone looked like they could be a Dave, so....

Dolf had his own nametag plastered all over the front of his ridiculously orange football jersey (the one that read SNEIJDER on the back), and a smile smeared all over his face. A genuine one, at that, even if he worried a little about what any newbie might think about their current location.

Billy. He was looking for a Billy...

"O-oh, boy!" said Butters, after he had proudly finished the bubble letters of his name on his nametag and happily smoothed it onto the front of his parka, and then he looked around the crowd with a nervous excitement that translated into his fidgeting and fiddling with his fingers. "There sure are a lot of people here; I wonder how'm I gonna find my Big Sibling in all of this?"

It was mostly to himself, his internal monologue deciding to become external. "And I sure think Big Sibling's a much better name than Accountabilibuddy..."

So no one had kicked him off the bus. And now he was in Fandom, whereever that was. Scrawling "Toby" on a nametag, he stuck that to his desperately-needing-a-wash shirt and practically started to gravitate towards the food. Hopefully his 'big sibling' would be able to catch him before he wandered too far from the nametag table.

Nametag reading "The Amazing Bobby Drake" slapped on to his t-shirt, Bobby set about looking for someone who was an Alexander.

...Looking for someone who was an Alexander and not already a student. Not that he'd almost wandered over to introduce himself to a certain prince of Daventry before remembering he'd seen the other guy around Fandom plenty, of course not.

Sam felt jetlagged. Going from Seattle to Fandom and dealing with the time changes meant he was sucking down on cheap airport coffee while standing there with a nametag on his shirt and a skateboard under one arm.

He'd written 'SAM' on said nametag because he was too tired to go into the story about his name especially when there were so many people and colors were just coming at him from all sides in his mind.

There were...a lot of different kinds of people here.

Bobby had a sign. It wasn't a glittery sign or decorated with Vikings like Caroline's, but it was a quite large sign reading:

Samhain Corvus LaCroix in big red letters.

He, of course, wore a name tag with his own name on it and had another one for Samhain Corvus LaCroix just in case the guy hadn't picked it own up. It was always good to be prepared.

He was also just barely restraining the gleeful bouncing at being able to be someone's big sib.

Raven really wanted nothing more than to hide in her room for another day and mope, but with a little sibling assigned to her, she knew that would be wrong. She ventured out to the picnic, looking for "Surreal SaDiablo" and wondering why that name sounded so familiar. Her own nametag, of course, simply said "Raven."

Meet Your Roommate (Summer 2011)

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

The list of roommate assignments (https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?hl=en&hl=en&key=0AjYPXKlqn1grdG5xMU5lLTFGc0l4bEwwQkduMUU3T3c&output=html) was, but of course, 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.

Re: Meet Your Roommate (Summer 2011)

[answer2bheard.livejournal.com]

Jim noted with a faint trace of a smirk that this school apparently believed in coed dorm room assignments. And he noted, with a trace of relief, that he seemed to be rooming with a guy.

He could live with that. He wasn't young enough to still think that girls had cooties or anything stupid like that, but he was thankful to be spared that particular sort of awkwardness, all the same.

Looking about as casual as possible, he started glancing around at nametags to see if he could spot the guy named Peter.

Meet Your Teachers (Summer 2011)

Mingle! Mingle up a storm, teachers! But not literally. We don't have a Thor or Ororo, right? Good.

Since that chick at the laptop hadn't passed out yet, Deadpool was at the picnic bright and early.

...god, he needed some coffee to deal with this crap.
