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!]

And from the sky a figure clad in purple in red began to descend. As the figure grew closer one could tell that he was wearing an ornate helmet as well as a giant dramatically flapping purple cape.

He landed on the ground, his cape billowing in the slight breeze. He crossed his arms and scanned the ground knowing full well that he made a dramatic entrance. He was, after all, Magneto.

He continued to scan the crowd, his chin pointed outward defiantly as if daring someone to approach him.

Well, there was Jono, doing just that, and well aware that he was approaching the Master of Magnetism while he was wearing a metal collar around his neck and a wary look on his face, yes.

Fortunately, Jono was not the sort to attack first and ask questions later.

"That's... one hell of an entrance you made, there."

"Was it?" Magneto asked casually, "I hadn't noticed."

Well he had. He wasn't going to admit it. For now he was looking at Jono carefully. Specifically the skin and the Apocalypse-looking lips.

"You look awfully familiar."

"Family resemblance," Jono grunted, sounding... less than pleased. Whether it was about the fact that he was having a conversation with Magneto, or about the fact that he was probably being recognized more as Apocalypse than himself, he wasn't going to say. "I get that a lot."

No, really. He did.

"So you're... here to teach?"

Please, no? Could Jono hope it was a no?

Sorry Jono!

"I am," Magneto declared, "I'm sure there are several students here that could benefit from my years of wisdom and experience. Exactly who are you, young man?"

It took so much self-control to keep Jono from sputtering and starting to yell.

So. Much.

"Jonothon Starsmore," he replied, keeping his chin up. "Formerly Chamber of the X-Men."

It wasn't quite a challenge, because, again, he wasn't really in the mood to have his head squeezed off by his own sonic collar or anything. But it was, if nothing else, a way of stating flat out that he knew who he was talking to.

Well. After snapping a picture of that on her phone, Jaye dared to approach him, nametag and all.

"Is walking not good enough?"

"It's easier when traveling long distances to fly," Magneto replied dryly. "Are you the welcoming committee, Ms Tyler?"

"No, but I saw Prince fly into the picnic, so..." She shrugged.

"I... am Magneto," He replied sternly. "Not any kind of royalty, I assure you."

"...Magneto?" she repeated. "Magneto."

"You are Magneto," Loki said, Ikol perched on his shoulder should he need any information.

"You would be correct," Magneto said looking down at the boy with a cocked eyebrow. "Have we met before?"

"Not in this particular incarnation, no," Loki replied carefully. "I am Loki of Asgard."

Magneto's eyebrows went up in surprise and was quickly followed by a hearty laugh.

"Well my young friend," he replied in an amused tone. "You look much different than the last time I saw you."

Back then Loki had breasts.

"How is it you're on this island?"
abitlowkey: (about to lie to you)

HE WAS A PRETTY WOMAN, IT WAS TRUE.

"I do not believe I wish to tell you the details of it," Loki decided slowly. "You were not present for it, either way."

The costume looked a little different. But that was it. This was Magneto. The guy who hit New York with a tsunami. Killed nearly all the X-Men and half the Ultimates. Made it hard for politicians to oppose the legislation that made simply being a mutant illegal.

"I hope to God that you're not the Magneto from my world," Jessica snarled as she approached him. If she hadn't heard about other worlds and everything already, she would have led with punching before he could react.

...And then probably dying. She really wasn't equipped to get into a fight with freaking Magneto.

"And why should you have that hope?" Magneto said looking down at the girl. "I'm assuming we've met somewhere before?"

"The Magneto in my world messed up the magnetic fields to cause a tidal wave that drowned Manhattan and froze people across Eastern Europe. He murdered I don't even know how many thousands of people," Jessica said. "So please, tell me I didn't come to school here just to find the monster who did all of that actually survived."

"You haven't," Magneto replied with a curious look. He had hatched several different plots like that before but none of them had been taken to that extreme.

Well. Almost but the X-men and the UN had put a stop to that.

"I'm afraid whoever that person was he was not me and definitely not from my world. Manhattan and Europe are quite fine."

Though he was beginning to wonder about this place.

"Okay. That's good enough for me right now," Jessica said. "But now I have to get out of here and not look at you at all. Sorry to trouble you."

"Drama queen," Anakin said, rolling his eyes.

And Anakin would know.

They both had a flair for the dramatic.

"I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that," Magneto said with a false smile showing through the gaps in his helmet.

And yes, he did catch that.

"My name is Magneto. A new teacher to this school. Who might you be?"

"A pleasure," Magneto said in an even tone. "I look forward to working with you and... enriching the minds of the young people here."
