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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Some parts of the East Coast might have been freaking out about a hurricane, but there was no such madness going on in Fandom. Sure, it was a little hot out, with the sun shining and not much breeze happening, but all the milk and toilet paper on the island was safe, and that was important, right? Besides, once the new folks started learning about their new home, there'd be more than enough freaking out to go around.

The usual main attraction had been set up first: a large buffet of food and drinks had been laid out next to all the information the new arrivals would need, and then the blue and gold tables and chairs had been arranged across the rest of the lawn. Everything was just about done when the shuttle arrived, and it was time for a picnic once again.

[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!]

Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2011]

[bigdamnprincipal]

Enjoy them while they still have no idea what they've gotten themselves into!

Steve was here, smiling warmly and ready to greet the new students and assure them that no, they hadn't fallen into the rabbit hole.

Although if they recognized him they were probably more acquainted with the vagaries of the multiverse than many of Fandom's students to start with.

Hmm. How long was that smile going to last?

"Hello there fellow faculty member!" Jamie exclaimed in greeting. "I never realized how exciting it could be to mold the minds of future generations!"

Bond leant against a handy wall, watching the goings on with interest.

Oz had cookies.

Cookies that weren't bugged.

That would be silly.

Alistair was there, at least at the beginning; he was eyeing the food hungrily the entire time.

He probably wasn't going to stand still for long.

"You can actually drive?" It was a legit question considering the not a dark knight thing.

Zoe was smiling as she guided Grace through the crowd, but anyone who knew her well might have been able to tell that her expression was a little forced. She was still telling herself that the school board was playing some kind of trick on her, but that didn't mean she felt safe assuming, well, that the school was safe. Luckily, she had a hungry child to take care of, although she was splitting her attention between Grace and looking around at the new folks, to see what they might be in store for this time around.

[AFK until 1:00pm but I had to get her in here while I had time. :)]

After talking to Columbus, Tyrion waddled over to the woman his buddy had indicated as being the head of the school.

"Lady Washburn," he said, with a slight, formal bow of his head. "I'm Tyrion Lannister. My teaching buddy said you were the head of the school."

"Hello Principal Washburn!" Jamie called out to her from a safe distance of twenty feet away. "You're not carrying any weapons are you?"

"MADROX IS TEACHING?!!"

Hello to you too, Anakin.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2011]

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"WHY IS MADROX HERE?!" Zoe, you should have expected this.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2011]

[screwyoumarvel]

"Principal Washburn," Steve said delicately, "I have a concern." He paused, then admitted, "Its name is Jamie Madrox."

Tyrion found his 'buddy' (http://halfman-lion.livejournal.com/1488.html) first, then made his way over to stand with the other adults. He had a book in his bag, but not the slightest intent of reading. He'd learn more now by watching people.

Was that a dwarf? Alistair hadn't seen one of those since he'd left Thedas, and he was starting to wonder if Fandom's world had any at all. Having spotted one - albeit with shorter arms than he was used to on a dwarf - he gladly embraced the familiar and made his way over.

"I haven't seen you before," he greeted, cheerfully, "So you must be new. Welcome to the madhouse."

Of course Jamie was there to proudly represent the faculty. He was also over there. And over there. And over there. And over there.

"Oh god, I thought it was all a horrible dream!" Hi, Jamie. How you doin'?

These picnics were always made a little bit better, in Shunsui's opinion, by a few nips of his own supply of...refreshments. But he was happy to be there, all the same, with the sun on his face and the hopeful promise of some lovely new lady teachers gracing the island with their presence this summer.

After meeting his buddy, Columbus grabbed a Mountain Dew and... Stood on the side of the crowd like the wallflower he was.

Of freakin' course Deadpool was there. He may have not driven the bus, but he was pretty sure Hercules managed to scar at least a few of those kids in his stead.

Oh, Marvel pride.

Guy, not understanding the terror of the Madrox, was oddly relaxed for this picnic. He didn't have a Reach headache and there weren't any weirdos running around.

It was a good day.

Neal was there, armed with some espresso and his phone. According to Elizabeth's texts, Peter was freaking out over the hurricane. There was no point making the effort to try to keep from smirking, so he let himself show his amusement as he put the coffee down on a nearby table and texted back.

Hercules, a large mug of punch from the buffet in his hand, happily stood about ready to greet students and fellow teachers alike. He was almost a little giddy. Driving the shuttle had been quite the fun little adventure.

Anakin was not sulking to learn that Jamie Madrox was teaching here.

He was brooding. That's a whole other thing.

Bo may have arrived late, but she did arrive. There was a dirty joke to be made there, as there always was with Bo's life, but she wouldn't be the one making it. She'd be the one in the SECURITY t-shirt, leaning against a tree and nibbling on a brownie.
