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

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

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.]

Ronan shook his head. "Honestly, I'm not sure," he explained. "I've never had much need for lab work, outside of the clinic. There's definitely some kind of lab in the school; you'll have to check it out to see if it will suffice. I'm sure the school could order anything else you need, though, unless it's particularly esoteric."

Prof Tomoe briefly wondered if synthesized alien genetic material counts as "esoteric", but decided it probably wasn't worth asking. He had more than enough of that in his home laboratory that he could probably get Kaolinite to send any that he needed.

"That's excellent to hear," he said. "I'll probably make use of it for my class. Also importantly, what sort of residences are available? If I'm staying here all summer, I suppose I'll need something more permanent than a hotel room."

Ronan did have another room available, even after offering one to Kaidan, but there was... something slightly off-putting about Tomoe-sensei.

It might have been the way that his face was consistently cloaked in shadow.

"The hotel actually does have some pretty good long-term rates," he explained instead, "but there are a couple of apartment buildings in town, other people probably have rooms for rent in houses, and there are probably houses for sale, too, if you're looking for something that permanent."

Tomoe? Off-putting? How on the nose insulting.

"I may have to look into that. I'm here to teach for the summer, and we'll have to see how the semester goes. I'm here to teach the good students a course about heroism and villainy, in hopes that they'll make a good decision in choosing the right path in life."

A path that preferably didn't lead to becoming so-called champions of love and justice.

What about wizards sworn to guard life and growth wherever they were able?

"Probably best just to rent, then," Ronan suggested. "I mean, unless you want to own a place here to rent after you leave, but I don't know that it's really worth it."

... Says the man who bought a house.

Probably not on the top of his list, but as long as those wizards weren't wandering around in miniskirts and kicky boots, not someone he'd actively have issues with.

"I don't know if I want to go that far. I'm just looking for a good place to spend the next couple months with enough space to engage in scientific activities."

Eeeeevil scientific activities.
