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

Well.

It was raining popsicles and suntan lotion today. Because Fandom liked to make the newbies cry sometimes. Yes, the island had a sense of humor about these things.

We've all learned to accept that and move on with our lives. Well, all of us except for Britta. But she's the worst.

[~~Please wait for~~ 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.]

"Well, this place might be a change from a big city. The island is kind of small, and everyone gets to know everyone else quickly. I'm Zoe Winchester, by the way," she said ~~realizing she'd forgotten that in the last ping~~. "I'm the principal here, so if you run into any trouble with your class, I can try to help."

"Oh, yeah? Ben must think I need all the help I can get, if I lucked out enough to have the principal assigned to me."

Or perhaps he really needed someone to keep a very thorough eye on him, to be certain that he didn't accidentally break... the island.

"Maybe you can help me with something now, though. I was pretty much set here without having housing arrangements dealt with yet. I don't suppose you'd know where I new guy in town can settle down for a few months?"

"There's two different apartment complexes, and the hotel," Zoe said. "Some people in town also own homes, and might have rooms to rent. They'd probably have something up at the community center. I suppose it depends on how you feel about living with strangers."

"It's been a few years since I've lived with anyone at all," Kotetsu admitted, looking thoughtful at that, if momentarily a bit more sober than before. "I can probably take out a room in the hotel until something better comes along."

And TopMag would probably cover the bill as a working expense, seeing as it was still cheaper than the estimate Ben had gotten on the number that Wild Tiger had done on that cinema a few days back...

"Anything about these kids I should know, now that that's figured out?"

"Well...they're a great group, really. They've come from all over the place, some from different times...they're about as strange as sunscreen rain," Zoe said. "But they'll do whatever you need them to do in class. Just don't expect them to be weak, or inexperienced. Some of them have seen a lot of crap in a small amount of time."

Kotetsu took a moment to let all of that sink in, and then he nodded a little.

"I guess that makes sense, in a school that has a place for a class on heroism in the first place," he reasoned. "Not everybody that goes through the Hero Academy back home has had the easiest life, either."

Hell, it was rough enough when you were a kid and you awakened with powers you didn't understand. If there were kids here who had a place in a class for heroes (and villains), he didn't doubt for an instant that they'd had a good go of it already.

"Many of them find things easier here, with people who understand them. If you try to understand them, it'll go a long way to getting them to like you," Zoe advised. Plus, it would keep the students happy, and that kept her happy too.

"I have a daughter of my own," Kotetsu replied with a shrug of his shoulders. "I know my way around kids, Ms. Winchester, don't worry."

... Someday, he'd realize how flawed that statement really was.
