Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part I

With all the rain the island had seen during the week, everyone had been hoping for a sudden turn to nice weather for the welcome picnic. But as the crew from the school started to set up for the picnic, the sky got darker and darker, and by the time everything was ready, it had started to steadily rain. As tempting as it was to move everything inside, there just wasn't anywhere in the school for so many people to gather at once, and since it was still comfortably warm outside, extra measures were taken to ensure that the picnic could go on as scheduled. Tents were set up to cover the information tables, the food, and most of the tables and chairs, and umbrellas had been gathered, ready for use by anyone who wanted more personal protection against the weather. It didn't look like the rain would be letting up any time soon.

[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. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

Kenzi put on a nametag. It said ASTRA.

What, like she was going to make it easy on the guy who'd gotten stuck with her?

Pinkie was very excited to see that her new home had set up a welcome party picnic for the new teachers and students. She was totally going to fit in here perfectly! She couldn't wait to start meeting everypony!

Take two it was.

Kate slapped a name tag on and perched on a nearby table to look out for some guy called Ryan. Maybe he'd hold out longer than her last roommate.

Jack had a sign for Miley Stewart with her name on it. It even had glitter! Yeah he was trying to make a good first impression. The corner was droopy though from being chewed on by a puppy.

He stood up on a chair and showed off his sign to everyone, waiting for his sibling to show...or the sign to melt in the rain.

Well, this was definitely something different. Not the rain - Alistair had only just spent three weeks around Lothering, now they knew rain - but the everything else. The food! The people! The signs! ...The food!

He wasn't wriggling like a puppy or anything (he was a big, strong Grey Warden representative), but he was thinking very hard about the moral quandary of whether he should stick around to talk to students and his 'teaching buddy', or run off and eat all the food.

... Or maybe gape some more. Was that a pink pony?

A pink pony with balloons on her ass flank, even.

Pinkie noticed the gaping and waved a front hoof cheerfully at him.

Everypony here was so friendly!

...And now... the pink pony... was waving at him.

"Helloooo...?" Alistair drawled.

"Hi!" Pinkie answered cheerfully. "I'm Pinkie Pie! Are you a new teacher here, too?"

"Yesss," Alistair said slowly. "Yes... I... am."

Please excuse his mind for a moment. It was rebooting. "And... so are you."

Pinkie was entirely unphased by the apparent brain breaking in front of her. "Yup! I'm going to teach the students all about how to throw the best parties! What do you teach?"

"I'm... teaching how to avoid misadventure," Alistair replied. "But considering that I'm standing in the soaking rain speaking to a pony, I'm starting to doubt whether I'm the best choice for the position. No offense." Beat. "Ah well, I suppose it's more hopeful than being dead... I think."

"Oh, I hate missing an adventure!" Pinkie was not always entirely clear on the concept, no. "And being dead would definitely mean missing adventures all the time. Oooo, but maybe you'd be going on one big huge adventure."

Oh dear, the pony was starting to get philosophical. This could only end in tears.

"Oh, yes," Alistair said. He was speaking to a pink pony. He felt he was allowed a bit of going along with the madness. "I bet when you die, dragons swoop down and lift you up into the skies, and there we'll all run about waving swords around and having a merry adventurous time being dead."
locointhecoco: (O.o)

"Dragons swooping sounds way more fun than dragons snoring. We met a snoring dragon once and I tried to cheer him up when he got all cranky 'cause we had to wake him up or he would have turned the sky dark for a hundred years if he kept going and he was so mean. He didn't like to laugh. Can you believe that? Who doesn't like to laugh? Oh, but my friend Spike is a baby dragon, and he doesn't do any swooping at all. Just eats gems and breathes fire. Do you know any dragons? I bet they don't like it when you wave swords at them. That doesn't sound very nice at all."

Yeah, she could keep this up for hours.

Ah yes, Barney was all-weather ready, suit kept safe from the rain by an automatic golf umbrella with a little hang-down sign emblazoned with the words 'DEAN AWESOME.'

Should anyone he deemed inappropriate attempt to speak with him, the sign had this super nifty feature where he could tap it and another sign fell on top of it that said, 'KEEP WALKING.' Sweet, right?

Once more Barney was needed to provide his superior, nay, unmatched mentoring skills to a bright-eyed, new teacher as they embarked on the journey of molding young minds to...yeah, who was he kidding, they totally ran out of real volunteers.

Barney need only find the biggest freak who'd shown up and he knew who Zoe had saddled him with this term. "Holy shit, a talking horse! I loved you guys in Equus!"

Well, he definitely got the "bright-eyed" bit right.

"Oh thank you," said Pinkie. "But it's pronounced 'Equestria'. Hi! I'm Pinkie!"

Pinkie was certainly pink enough to live up to her name. "Of course you are! It's so refreshing to hear you horses go with literal naming; here it gets all confusing when you try and call out to the gingers and they don't even turn around!" He flashed a smile. "But where are my manners, I'm Barney Stinson, Dean of Awesome Students, and your personal Teaching Buddy this term."

What did he expect, that she'd be blue?

"Pleased to meetcha!" Pinkie offered one hoof for a shake. "How do you tell which students are the 'awesome' students? Everypony here already seems so wonderful!"

Oh god, they were going to shake hooves! Someone get this on film!

Barney hesitated only a half second before shaking her hoof. "Ah, now that, my apprentice, is the true art of teaching. Discriminating the awesome from the 'eh, bearable' to the 'oh god, someone save me from this loser.' It's a constant struggle."
