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!]

"Well, if you need any help with any of that stuff ever, I'm a nerdy person who knows things like that," Jessica said. "There's no reason this sibling thing should only feature helping in one direction."

"I will almost certainly seek you out for that," she admitted. "My usual technological ally is from a dozen years in this world's past. My iPhone's antics escape him, for the most part."

"Oh yeah, I can handle those, no problem," Jessica said. "You, uh, you bought the iPhone here, right? You don't come from a society with no water but surprisingly good iPhone service, right?"

"No, but that would be quite a special place," Dany said, a little wistfully. "I left it here for the summer, as there would be no place to charge it at home. I can only imagine that it's clogged with the mail of voices and messages of text, now."

"It's probably a jerk move, but I'd probably end up deleting all of those. If it's that or fight through a three month backlog, being a jerk wins," Jessica mused.

"I will probably tell Siri to do it," Dany agreed. Did Dany actually understand how Siri worked? No. Still no.

"Is there anything with which you need help?" she asked, shaking her head as though to clear it. "I remember how disoriented I was my first few days, as well."

"Thanks, but I think I'm fine for now," Jessica said. "I just have to meet a roommate and hope nobody breaks any more scientific certainties before the end of the day."
