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.]

Caroline considered saying she had some fresh blood bags up in her room she'd be willing to share, but she was trying to be a normal teenager here.

"Just the high of the picnic. Oh, and coffee. I don't know what I was thinking there, it just makes me feel like I'm talking way faster than I should be." Or was that the sugar she put in the coffee? "Anyway, how was the ride in? Did our new Viking overlords greet you guys?"

"... Not yet," she answered, stoically repressing the urge to turn and run. Sorry Caroline, nothing against you personally. Just your race. The more she concentrated on it, the more she became aware of who it was coming from.

"Why do you have Vikings?" It just begged to be asked, while she tried to figure out what in the hell she was dealing with.

"Um, I'm honestly not sure? It seems like someone stole the island at graduation and...no one's fixed it yet." Which okay, was kind of odd when she thought of it that way. "The portals still work, so it's just a bigger pain in the ass to get to the mall than it was before."

Well. "Good to know." Island that got kidnapped. Great. What had Greg got her in to?

"That happen often?"

Weird how she was actually asking questions Caroline wasn't sure she could bullshit answers to. "Not that I know of. I mean, considering the rain came from the ground a few weeks back, I wouldn't put it past the owners to sell it, but stealing makes no sense to me."

Kate frowned, and this time, wasn't because her stomach was still turning. "Are you due to flare or something?" Rain from the ground sounded like the sort of thing only a flare could bring on. Freaky shit.

Flares were a bitch, so she really freaking hoped she hadn't walked in on one of those.

"Flare...what?" This was a term Caroline didn't know. "Like a solar flare? Um, if you're looking for science geek help, I do know the kid for you to talk to."

"Nooooo," she said carefully. "Post-shift, magic flare... None of this means anything to you?" Slowly slowly, starting to realize she was not in Kansas any more.

Or Georgia, rather.

"No...though I have a friend who can do magic? Does that count?" They weren't from Georgia, though she was pretty sure that's where Damon and Elena found some witch. Hmm.

"Not really." Sorry Caroline.

Kate paused there, trying to mentally reach out and see what she could feel here. Everything radiating off the girl screamed 'undead', but she sure as fuck didn't look like the dried out almost skeletal corpses that passed for vampires back home. The empty space there should have been in her mind -- that wasn't there either.

But a living necromancer didn't have even half this soaking of death reeling off them.

"... Are you dead?" Right to the point then. There was probably a more tactful way of going there, but Kate honestly sucked at that.

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling (Summer 2011)

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"Dead?" Caroline raised an eyebrow at her new little sib in wonder of how she knew to ask that question. Seriously? Did she smell that badly. And yes, that was Caroline sniffing at her arm before looking back at Kate. "Well, I guess that really depends on your definition of dead? And really if you know about magic you probably won't be too shocked to hear I'm a vampire - totally the good king though? Like, I don't bite people. It's a thing."

"We don't have good vampires." And that rolling nausea in her stomach was making a lot more sense now. "Or, ones that look like you."

Which would be why Kate would be keeping her current distance and making sure her needles could be easily retrieved.

"What? Is it the hair?" Caroline frowned, wondering why she was always the wrong kind of vampire for everyone. "I swear, I'm the good kind. We had a whole class on it last semester!"

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling (Summer 2011)

[withasword.livejournal.com]

"Not the hair, the everything!" Geez, Caroline. "You don't look very dead... and you're all--" Kate gestured vaguely at all of her "talking, and thinking and not ripping the shit out of everyone."

That was not normal. Just not normal.

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling (Summer 2011)

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

Caroline was just a little offended by this. "What? I think all the time and quite honestly most of it comes straight out of my mouth so duh, of course I'm talking!" She paused because um, well. "And I...could rip the shit out of everyone but how is that at all friendly?" She shook her sign.

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling (Summer 2011)

[withasword.livejournal.com]

"It's not." Rationalizing, talking, glittery sign shaking vampire. "This is so wrong." Even Roland, with all his ultimate power, didn't have vampires like this.

"You feel like them, but--" At the same time, not.

"But only I'm more awesome? I think those are the words you're looking for," Caroline said helpfully. "I promise, I'm not the only weirdo in town. There's werewolves and talking frogs and like godlings and guys with wings and then totally normal kids, too."
