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.]

"That's what makes us fun."

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.

Squirrels. Right.

"They're the law enforcement?"

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

"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."

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

"You will see them in town."

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

[hurtingzeebo]

"And they wear armor." Sam was . . . not happy to hear that. "Are they at least easy to outrun?"

"I would not know," Spock told her. "I have had no need to find out."

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

It suddenly occurred to Sam that this might be a conspiracy. A conspiracy to turn her into a nub. They had her surrounded.

She was getting a mite twitchy.

"But -- I mean, what are the rules? Are the squirrels snitches? Do they work for the vikings?"

Calm down, Sam. Deep breaths.

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

"No," Spock said, like this should have been obvious. "They work for the pirate who runs the radio station." Duh.

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

[hurtingzeebo]

That did it.

"I'll never join you!" Sam shrieked, and turned to run away.

No nub conspiracy of vikings and squirrels and pirates was going to get her.

Spock sighed and let her go. He'd done his best, and she knew where to find him when she decided to accept reality.
