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.]

"It'll give you a solid amount of time to settle in here, too," Ramona said with a slight smile. "You're gonna need it. Did you find your roommate yet?"

"No, not yet. I think that's the next thing on my to do list," Dave said. "And after that, find some coffee. Actually, that probably should have been the first thing I did."

"The coffee isn't bad," Ramona offered. "Any questions for me so far? You see anything weird that needs explaining?"

Because she had that bingo card in her back pocket to freak him out with, still, so she needed to check.

"Well, there is one thing that I've been wondering," Dave said. He gestured out toward the distance and asked,"Does Maryland really look like that?"

"Nope," she said, shaking her head with a sigh. Because really, that was a good question. "You aren't in Maryland, Dave. You're not even in the U.S. Sorry. The island kinda...moves around, I guess. We're in Iceland, I think. Somewhere cold, anyway."

"You're messing with me, right?" Dave asked after a moment, giving a smile that suggested that he was in on the joke somehow. Sure, moving island. That made sense.

"Kinda wish I was," she admitted, a little regretful. "Sorry, Dave from Wisconsin. The place is really weird. If I were gonna haze you, I'd pick something more believable. And the moving island thing's just the tip of the iceberg."

"Really?" Dave asked. "Okay, I'll bite. How else is it weird?"

"Glad you asked, Dave. Here, I made a game out of it," Ramona said pleasantly, pulling out the paper (http://oi52.tinypic.com/3442hjd.jpg) she'd constructed to show him. "Here are the things that have either happened to me, or I've heard about happening to other people since I've been here."

She paused, and added, "By the way, I'm not crazy, and I know you're gonna think I am until something weird happens to you, but you know, it'd be convenient if you believed me straight off the bat."

"I don't think you're crazy," Dave said, looking at the card. "Very detailed in your teasing, maybe, but not crazy."

"And maybe you have a thing about gremlins, too."

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

[dabblinginbitch.livejournal.com]

"Seriously, I'd find something way less weird to haze you with," she assured him. "Also, I haven't seen a gremlin, personally, but it's our school mascot. Get used to that."

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

"How did we end up as the gremlins?" Dave asked, ignoring the explanation that would be obvious if he just trusted the bingo card. "And I guess it couldn't hurt to hang onto this. Even if it is still kind of weird."

Also, he did enjoy bingo.

"I'll figure out a prize if you get five in a row," Ramona offered. "And we're the gremlins because they're native to the island, I guess. And they bite people."

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

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"They eat people?" Dave asked, taking 'bite' to the next level with absolutely no prompting.

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

[dabblinginbitch.livejournal.com]

"I think they just bite you and make you hallucinate," she said with a slight frown. "Could be wrong, though."

Okay, now she was messing with him.

"You know, I'm almost starting to believe you, because I don't think anyone could come up with that so quickly," Dave noted.

"I'm creative, but also lazy," she assured him. "I wouldn't go to this much work to try and mess with a new kid. Especially not one from Wisconsin." She smiled lightly, and added, "That just seems too easy. No offense to your state."

Dave kind of stared for a moment before shaking his head. "No, it's fair. It's a fairly gullible state."
