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

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.]

"Yes," Simon replied, nodding again. "I've never been this far from home."

Except, if they were in Iceland, he really wasn't as far from home as he was supposed to be. But he was still trying to come to terms with that.

"English?" she guessed. "We have a couple of English kids running around. And one Irish one, plus a bajillion from places I'd never heard of before here."

"From London," he confirmed. "The broschure said it's an international school." They really should change that to interdimensional, or something. "What-- what other places had you never heard of?"

Ramona frowned in thought. "Well -- okay. This one, I had heard of, but there's a chick here who claims she's from Oz. Like, as in 'The Wizard of.'"

Simon's eyebrows bounced. "That's impossible."

He probably wouldn't say that to Elphaba's face.

"That's what I said," Ramona agreed. "But yeah, no, girl with green skin who claims she's from Munchkinland and wants to be a witch." She quirked a little smile, and added, "Says the water thing doesn't work, though. I was curious."

Simon managed a quietly amused little smile at that. Even if he was still doubting the whole concept. "At least you didn't try it."

"Would've been messy, if it'd worked," Ramona agreed with a little snort. "And hard to explain to the principal."

"The administration probably doesn't take well to killing other students." Not that he had any experience with anything of the sort. He wasn't thinking about it now. "How is the school like, otherwise?"

"Really, really weird," she said honestly. "But also a lot like a normal high school. The best part is the classes, really. Only happen a couple times a week."

Simon raised his eyebrows a bit. Well, he guessed that left him more time to train on his own. "What are the classes like?"

"Eclectic," Ramona said after a short pause to pick the right word. "It depends on the teacher. I've had classes where I've had to run obstacle courses, and I've had ones where I've just discussed stuff."

And then there had been the one that her twenty-three year-old ex-boyfriend had taught, but she didn't want to get into that.

It sounded about right from the broschure Simon had, really. Obstacle courses sounded useful, for one.

He nodded with another hint of a smile, having thought on that. "I think this will be fine," he decided. Or he hoped so, at least.
