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

When the planning for the new semester had started, no one had really noticed that the welcome picnic would coincide with Cinco de Mayo. When the food arrived and all of it, including the desserts, had somehow ended up as a variety of Mexican food, well, it was a little too late to change anything.

Hopefully, the wandering mariachi band that had shown up wouldn't throw anyone either. It was a festive day of new arrivals, after all.

The blue and gold tables and chairs had been set out, along with nametags and the lists of Big and Little Siblings, and rooms and roommates for the new students. Assuming the shuttle arrived with all of the students and teachers in one piece, everything was set for the picnic to begin!

[OCD is up, have at it! 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!]

"I think... someone has seen to my workshop options." Nancy Virai, more precisely. "And my brother-in-law to the financial side of things." He might be an Edger mongrel, but Declan was not. Money was one thing the ward of the Marshall of the Southern Provinces did not have to worry about.

"... I've met my roommate, and she seems. Well, she's a girl. Is that normal here too?"

"Good to have family who looks out for you," Kenzi said approvingly. Then grinned. "Yeah, my first roomie was a guy. Bart. We just put up a screen for changing, and he cleaned stuff up." Because he had super-speed and Kenzi was a slob. "That gonna bug you? What's your roomie like?"

"... I don't completely understand her." Because she was very, very British and while his accent hinted that he was himself, Adrianglia was in fact very different.

"But she won't bug me, I'm used to my brother. He's far more irritating." Jack practically made it his life's work to be a pain. Typical little brother.

"Heh. Give it some time. If you hate each other, you're allowed to switch after a couple weeks. Sounds like it'll probably be okay though. Who did you get?" Kenzi took another cookie, biting into it. "Oh, if you see little green things with a lot of teeth, stay away. They're gremlins and their bites make you hallucinate. And, uh. I'm guessing you didn't know about the invasions?"

Sharp teeth, stay away. Got it. "Ah, her name is Ace." Not Dorothy and she didn't think of herself as the sort to be referred to as 'lady'. Facts he needed to remember.

"And I know some historic ones? Like the Gaulish invasions of Adrianglia." Not the same, George.

"Ace, gotcha." She'd be on the look-out, maybe help out Ace too. "Ah, aha. No." She paused, thinking how to explain this. "Okay, sometimes... weird stuff happens for no reason. Like you wake up? And you're a talking pony. That was the first weird thing that happened to me here." Kenzi beamed. "And it was awesome."
