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

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!]

"Yeaaaaah, I get that," Quinn said, letting out a long breath as she tried to figure out where to start. "Basically the island's kind of special like that. People from all different worlds and points in time end up here. So, like, my world doesn't have a Dothraki, and yours maybe doesn't have an Ohio. It's easier if you don't think about how it works."

Daenerys didn't even bother to correct her about the Dothraki not being a place. "Is Ohio the name of where you're from?" she asked uncertainly. "Are we near there now?" Because it certainly didn't seem like they were anywhere near her own home.

"It's a state," Quinn confirmed. "Not ... super-close, but probably a lot closer than where you're from. It pretty much never matters, but technically the island is part of a state called Maryland, in a country called the United States, on a planet called Earth. Any of that familiar at all?"

She wouldn't be surprised if the answer was no.
