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!]

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2011]

William had been a bit apprehensive about the identity of a new roommate, since he knew a female one was certainly within the realm of possibility. However, time at Fandom had gotten him to... mellow somewhat regarding the concept. He still found it rather scandalous, all told, but many seemed to make it work, and so if it happened to him, well. So would he.

When he saw the name of his new roommate, he had to laugh. True, his concerns regarding a female roommate were realised, but... at least this was someone he in a mostly handwavey way kind of knew.

Rosella was feeling both apprehension and excitement at seeing who her roommate would be, knowing that it could be anyone and that the experience of sharing a living space with someone would be so queer and curious and interesting that she certainly hoped it was a good one. Once she saw the name paired with her own, though, she had to laugh, and immediately seek the boy out.

"Mr. Murdock, as I live and breathe!" she laughed, putting her hands on her hips as she smirked at her brother's former roommate. "I should certainly hope that this isn't the results of you working in cahoots with Mother, to have someone keep a close eye on me!"

Oh, she laughed. But there was a particular glint in her eyes that suggested that this really had better not be the result of him working in cahoots with her mother...

"Oh, I wouldn't be concerned, Miss-" he sighed, because why did so many people of his acquaintance not have proper surnames? "Miss Rosella," he finally settled on. "As it happens, I'm quite familiar with your mother's... desire to keep abreast of every aspect of her children's lives. And while I admire the fact that she concerns herself so, I am also certain that every little last detail needn't really be reported back upon."
