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.]

Simon chewed on his lip for a short moment. He was really rather confused and curious about a lot of things, but it was hard to pinpoint any actual questions.

"The island travels?" he checked then. "Does it do anything else... unusual?"

Sookie nodded, choosing her words carefully. "It can influence our behavior, sometimes. And the weather can be...weird. To be honest, I wasn't around the last time it traveled, but from what I hear, it should be kind of a fun summer."

That, however, was not what he zeroed in on.

"Influence our behaviour? How?"

He already had an idea, of course. The occasional storm-affected person doing that was familiar (if unfortunate), but an entire island was not.

"Um, like, maybe one week, everyone'll really want...cake, for no reason," she said carefully.

Except instead of 'cake' sub in 'each other.'

"And it can turn us into things. Most people around here reverted to little kids about a month ago."

To be fair, the cake thing could easily happen too.

"Little children?" he asked, unsure how to feel about that. "That's... weird."

And he'd keep saying that for a while, like all the other newbies.

"Yeah, I stayed big for it," Sookie said, shrugging. "But it happened to me before. It's sort of a fun weekend. My cat hasn't recovered from my seven year-old boyfriend chasing her under the bed, though."

A pause, and then, "This island makes you say phrases like that, too."

Well, the storm had made him say weird phrases too, he supposed. That didn't sound quite as bad if you compared it to his first day of community service, for one.

"I think I have some experience with that," he said, approaching wry. "I... think I'll survive."
