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.]

Yeah, this guy was absolutely the nubbiest nub that ever nubbed.

Lucky Sam.

"Wait, like, none? Is that even legal?" She had to ask. She'd been arrested five times, she didn't want to get tricked into making that six. Her sixth arrest was going to be special dammit.

Like legal made any difference on this island. "It is the law here," he told her. "Make your decisions carefully." Somehow he doubted that.

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

[hurtingzeebo]

This place had a whole new set of laws? Sam looked around.

". . . Aren't we supposed to be in Maryland?"

Someone might have just noticed the vikings.

"At present we appear to be in Iceland, sometime in the late first millennium of the Common Era," Spock informed her. "The island, as it happens...moves."

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

[hurtingzeebo]

"No chiz?" Sam was having a bit of trouble with that one. "Shouldn't people all be speaking Iceland-ish or soemthing, then?" Wait. "Whose common era?" What?

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

[eyebrowgoesup]

"I suspect some sort of universal translator field is in effect," Spock said. Those existed, don'tcha know. "As for the Common Era, you might prefer 'AD.'"

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

[hurtingzeebo]

". . . Huh?"

Yep, there went the brain-breaking. It took awhile, but we all knew she'd get there eventually.

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

[eyebrowgoesup]

Yes, Spock recognized it. "Welcome to Fandom High," he said. "You will get used to it."

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

[hurtingzeebo]

"I fell asleep on the bus or something, right?" She pinched herself. "Ow!"

Okay, not asleep on the bus.

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

[eyebrowgoesup]

"No," Spock told her, as gently as he could. "You are awake. This is not a dream or a hallucination. We are not 'punking' you. Everything you see is real and true."

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

[hurtingzeebo]

"We landed in Baltimore," Sam pointed out. "The bus ride wasn't that long."

Maybe she had her geography all messed up? That was a possibility.

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

[eyebrowgoesup]

"The bus came through a portal on the causeway."

With the way Reno drove, it was no surprise she hadn't noticed.

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

[hurtingzeebo]

"Right. 'Cause those just happen all the time."

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

[eyebrowgoesup]

Oh, good, she was starting to understand. "Precisely."

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

[hurtingzeebo]

Sam decided she didn't like Spock.

"And you're an alien," she said. "And little kids get kidnapped by turtles around here."

Really, she had to put up with this just for one little smoothie on a cop's head?

This so wasn't fair.

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

[eyebrowgoesup]

Nothing he'd told her was untruthful. "Yes, that's all correct," he confirmed. "You're beginning to understand."

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

[hurtingzeebo]

She really wasn't.

"Can I kick you? It'll make me feel better."

What was sad was that it would actually totally make her feel better.

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

[eyebrowgoesup]

"That is completely illogical," Spock informed her. "No. You may not kick me."

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

[hurtingzeebo]

Sam pouted at him. "Maybe I like being illogical."

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

[eyebrowgoesup]

"Yes," Spock agreed. "This is a trait that I have found that many humans share."

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

[hurtingzeebo]

"That's what makes us fun."

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

[eyebrowgoesup]

Spock would beg to disagree. "You are entitled to your opinion. You may also wish to look out for the squirrels, should you choose to engage in any illicit activity." Not that Sam would do that, of course.

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

[hurtingzeebo]

Squirrels. Right.

"They're the law enforcement?"

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

[eyebrowgoesup]

"No." That would be silly. "Most of the law enforcement is taken care of by the patrolling armored troopers," Spock explained. "The squirrels gather information for the daily news radio broadcasts."

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

[hurtingzeebo]

Sam once again managed to zero in on the most important information, there. "The police wear armor?"
