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!]

Ah, the entertaining ritual of breaking in the new kids. Try to be gentle!

The list of roommate assignments was located in a prime spot on one of the tables. Current students who had been assigned new rooms and/or roommates had been ~~handwavily~~ informed of the change.

Meet your teaching buddies! Find out who you might be taking classes from! Find some new grownups to play with!

This is going up slightly early because someone has not slept since she got up for the Marvel Marathon yesterday morning... >.>

Jaye had a teaching buddy.

Like, they actually went "She looks like someone who should be helping out new teachers." Or at least they didn't half that idea right there when they realized who they were talking about.

Jaye found this hilarious.

Oh, and she was also looking to see what kind of group was around now. And whether there were any more talking animals.

Sure, Deadpool was looking for a teaching buddy. But he was also keeping an eye out for anyone from back home.

He had five bucks on Scott showing up as a student this time. C'mon, don't disappoint him, Slim.

Steve had a teaching buddy, who he was of course looking out for, but aside from his teaching buddy he was looking for anyone looking particularly lost. Well, that or 'familiar.' You never knew around here.

After somehow managing to survive the death trap that had been the shuttle and it's incompetent driver, Holmes was ~~continuing his hobo impression~~ going to keep to the side in order to observe.

The future was very musical, it would seem.

"Tony?" Steve asked when he spotted Holmes. "Why are you dressed like that?" It was neither a multi-thousand dollar suit nor a grease-stained tank top. Something was wrong.

Well, Terry was starting off his time at a new school exhausted, slightly mortified that it took him five seconds to introduce himself as a loudmouth to the Dean of Students, and annoyed that he seemed to be past the point where any more caffeine was going to help him out.

But hey, at least he had a new sibling. Hopefully this Kate girl was better than his real brother. Of course, she'd probably have to be, since she probably wasn't 10.

Holmes' mouth twitched up in something that was either a smile or a grimace depending on how you read those sort of things. "Beg pardon?"

Anna didn't bother with shoes or accessories today, just her usual white dress, but she did stick her name tag to it before she started wandering through the crowd on silent feet, checking name tags for an 'Atton Rand.'

Sia was having quite the day so far, and she could only imagine what else she might find here. But there were still more people to meet, and Sia knew how to behave in this sort of situation even if she was feeling incredibly wary, and so she could get through this.

She would not wear a name tag, though. She would hold it instead if this Britta person needed it.

And that was an English accent. "You're not Tony," Steve realized. If he sounded kind of disappointed, well, sorry, Holmes.

Sitting there on the ground with a big tag on it that said "TYRION: TURN THE CRANK" was what appeared to be a Jack-in-the-box.

A possibly completely innocent Jack-in-the-box.

Possibly. Not likely.

Yeah, okay. Sparkle totally knew what this was. The school babysitter program, right? To keep him out of trouble?

He rolled his eyes as he stuck on his nametag, even if it wasn't all that bad. It just left this sticky crap on his shirts, and he hated that.

... Right. Someone named Tony. Who the hell looked like a Tony around here, anyhow? All the guys and at least half of the girls. Great.

Petra--despite her darling three-inch wedges--climbed up onto one of the picnic benches, smoothed down the skirt of her sundress, and cupped her hands around her mouth to call (with her rather impressive projection) "Fawn Farrell? I'm looking for a Fawn Farrell!"

Lex had his nametag on, and was scanning the crowd for a Karolina.

Hopefully this would go better than it had with Rebecca.

Kenzi had a box of cookies, and a glittery sign that said "George Drayton, your attention please."

Her name-tag said "Quinn Fabray."

Oh, hey. Some kid from Denmark. That wasn't so bad. That meant that, as the token Canadian in this batch of students, Sparkle would be able to bond with his roomie over their mutual... un-American... ness.

Or something.

And Sia had to share a room.

She had to hope that this Juliet person was at least someone she could get along with, and she looked around for a name tag, even if she refused to wear one herself.

She had standards, all right?

HEY NOW. HEY. HE WAS JUST AS SASSY. AND HAD HIS OWN BROMANCE THAT WAS HORRIBLY CODEPENDENT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

"That appears to be going around," he said, offering a hand. "Holmes. With less impressive cheekbones, I have been assured by your bus driver."

'Bus driver' was filled with the same amount of loathing one might have reserved for murderers or poor, tormented housekeepers.

Huh, Alex had a new roommate. A Japanese girl new roommate, going from the name. Although he guessed Japanese-American or whatever was an option, but at least if she didn't speak English they'd be able to communicate.

Good thing he wasn't very PTSD-y about the whole thing...

Ulrik had a dozen siblings already, so... what was one more, really? He looked around to see if he could spot a 'Stacey' anywhere, after affixing a name tag to his shirt that read 'Ulrik Oldenburg'. He didn't generally use a surname, but he figured he ought to follow American custom since he was here and all.

Tony was keeping his eyes peeled for a little sibling named 'Sparkle'. Which, to be honest, made him wonder if maybe she was a dancer at one of the bars that he most certainly did not go to with his friends.

Not at all.

Imagine his disappointment to find it was a guy. Buck up, Tony! Buck up. "Sparkle? I'm Tony."
