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

Although the summer had been record-breakingly hot, the weather outside today was actually kind of pleasant. There was a cool breeze blowing across the lawn, making the smells of the buffet wander, and hopefully enticing people to come over to the school and welcome all the new folks.

The blue and gold tables and chairs had been set out as usual, 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!]

Believe it or not, Sia was very glad for that!

"Stiles," she repeated, offering a small smile. "I'm Marasiah. Welcome to town." Weird as it was.

"Thanks," Stiles said, almost getting googly eyed at a pretty girl talking to him before he remembered she was being forced to do it. "Marasiah's quite a name."

He'll need a moment before he catches on to his own hypocrisy.

That did get an eyebrow raise out of her, but she left that alone. "I'm aware. You can call me Sia, if you'd like," she offered. "How was your trip?"

Which was a subtle way of trying to figure out where/when he was from without possibly freaking him out.
robinonadderall: ([pos] yeah that's me)

"Long and filled with seedy motel rooms," Stiles answered. "Probably should have taken the plane like everybody else but I couldn't just leave my car behind. The chances were high for someone commandeering it for their own."

Scott.
notconflicted: (interested)

At least he was from this world, then. She could work with that. "Where are you from originally?"

"Beacon Hills, it's this little town in California," Stiles said, happy he could answer easy questions like that. "Unless you mean where I'm from in the sense of the Stilinski line...I think we're Irish and Polish. Maybe Russian. I don't know."
notconflicted: (hmm)

"I wasn't, but now I know for future reference," Sia replied. He was cute. "So I assume you don't know much about this place so far?"

Maybe he got a brochure that detailed the crazy, who knew.
robinonadderall: ([pos] hmm yeah no)

"Well I know that the castle is a bit ostentatious and that I don't really feel comfortable in rickshaws," he said. "And, oh, somehow someone I know is here and apparently we're on two different wavelengths because he had no idea what the hell I was talking about."

Which was typical for Jackson but this was weirder than usual.

"That happens. I've several relatives here that are long dead in my time," Sia told him. "It's a bit strange here, let's start with that."
robinonadderall: ([pos] hmm yeah no)

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Fall 2012]

[personal profile] robinonadderall 2012-08-25 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"Strange I can deal with---well, maybe not dead relatives strange." Beacon Hills hadn't gotten that weird yet. "But I have seen strange before. And I don't mean town-without-a-McDonalds strange."

Seriously though, what town doesn't have a McDonalds?

"What are your thoughts on alternate realities and animal transformations?" Because they had those in spades here.
robinonadderall: ([pos] can't be serious with that)

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Fall 2012]

[personal profile] robinonadderall 2012-08-25 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"Animal transformations I have seen, yes. Well one kind of animal." Is it weird that he didn't care if someone thought he was crazy anymore? "And something tells me I'm about to believe in alternate realities."
notconflicted: (actually impassive)

"If you don't believe me now, you will inside of a week," Sia told him. "I thought you'd be more surprised by this, to be honest."
robinonadderall: ([pos] suave)

"I'm from a strange place," Stiles said with a shrug. "Guess you hit the jackpot in terms of a little sibling."
notconflicted: (little smile)

"I'm all right with that," she smiled. "I don't suppose you have gremlins, do you? You'll hear about them a lot, and I don't want to fail in my duty by not warning you."
robinonadderall: ([pos] hmm yeah no)

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Fall 2012]

[personal profile] robinonadderall 2012-08-25 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"No, no gremlins. Not yet at least," he said. "Are they like the ones from the movies? Should I not feed strange animals after midnight?"
notconflicted: (telling you how it is)

Sia paused. "I have no idea what that means," she admitted. "They're small green creatures whose venom causes hallucinations. You believe yourself to be something horribly embarrassing, apparently usually in public. Try to avoid them whenever possible."

"I'm embarrassing on my own, I don't need help in that department," Stiles said, mildly horrified at the prospect. "Anything else out to get me?"
notconflicted: (thoughtful)

"Not specifically. Though you will occasionally turn into something else, such as... well, a pony," she said, still preferring that over talking about being a cat, "though in most cases at least the rest of the island will go through it with you."
robinonadderall: ([pos] que?)

"That's...comforting," Stiles admitted. "None of it is permanent, right?"

Look, he refused a bite from an Alpha, he was big on the remaining human thing.
notconflicted: (you're okay)

"No. In my experience it lasts a weekend and then it's over," she said. "And then the entire island can share the mutual embarrassment. It takes a bit of adjustment."
robinonadderall: ([pos] mmmhmm girl)

"Sounds like it," Stiles said. "You know, the school should really think about including that sort of stuff in the brochure."
notconflicted: (oh?)

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Fall 2012]

[personal profile] notconflicted 2012-08-25 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"Would you have come here if they did?" Sia asked.
robinonadderall: ([pos] sweet)

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Fall 2012]

[personal profile] robinonadderall 2012-08-25 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
"Probably," he admitted. "I'm pretty sure I'm a magnet for the strange and unusual, it would follow me no matter where I go."
notconflicted: (listening)

Then here was a really good place for him. "What kind of strange are you used to?"
