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.]

Wesley had no idea what Yakima was. But sure.

"That I am," he agreed. "And you're from..."

He did his best to guess Freddie's accent.

"The Pacific Northwest?"

"Seattle," Freddie said with a nod. "Was an overnight flight, I'm just lucky that Sam let me get some sleep. Though I made sure not to have a seat next to her just for that reason."

Sam, Sam... oh! Wesley had seen someone with a "Sam" name tag.

"Sam... the, ah, the girl with the chicken, right?" he asked, gesturing vaguely. "You two came here together?"

"Only in the sense that we were on the same plane," Freddie said. "She's here because she dumped a smoothie on a police officer. I'm here because Sam slipped my mom a brochure that made her think this was the safest school in the world."

"Well, that wasn't very nice of her," Wesley said, slightly miffed just at the idea of this girl. "And there was no convincing your mother otherwise?"

Because dear god, Fandom? Safe? Ha.

"My mom isn't exactly the reasonable type," Freddie said. "I love her, but... wasn't going to happen."

"Ah." One of those, then.

"Well, you're here now," he said, trying to be encouraging in some way. "And while Fandom is certainly a bit odd, it truly is a nice place. And if anything is overwhelming, you can absolutely come to me with any questions you might have."

Helpful, Wes!
