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.]

Ariel shrugged a little, before nodding her head. "For real," she said. "There's a lot of weird things that happen here. Time travel, chocolate rain, people who turn into animals..."

And sometimes vice versa...ahem.

"You're not just messing with me?" Richie, it would explain the vaguely volcanic landscape. And your roommate having a kind of impossible handheld computer.

"I mean, Mac told me it was kind of a weird place but...this is like some sort of weird hazing the new kids thing, right?"

Ariel held up her hands and implored her little sibling with the utmost sincerity. "I swear to you," she vowed, "I am not just messing with you. I know it probably sounds like it, but just give it some time and you'll think to yourself, 'ohmygosh, Ariel was so right.'"

"People really turn into animals?" Chocolate rain at least sounded like a thing that could happen. But again, Richie, your father figure is four hundred years old. You'd think you'd be more accepting of weirdness.

And Ariel did seem awfully convincing. "We'll see, I guess. I mean, I haven't seen anything too crazy yet."

"Only temporarily," Ariel assured him. "They always seem to turn back, so there's always that. Oh, and there was this one time where everyone's possible kids showed up. That was weird and really sort of made you think about the future and relationships and stuff, but that, too, passed nicely."

Richie was staring now. Kind of a lot.

"I gotta call Mac. Ask him if I can see that brochure he found for this place. Cos if it mentioned any of this, we definitely need to talk about it. And if it didn't, we gotta talk about how he didn't do his research."

Alternately they could talk about how Richie's school-appointed Big Sister was potentially crazy. Or messing with him. But Richie had a sinking feeling that she really, really wasn't.

Ariel gave a faint grin to that. "I'm pretty sure there are about ten different brochures, and just about no one gets the one they should. I didn't even get one, myself."
