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!]

"A communications device?" Juliet said, totally missing the sarcasm. "You hit numbers and then you can talk to people or send them messages. There's one in the basket. The little tablet. "

It wasn't the fanciest phone ever, but for a prepaid smartphone it wasn't bad. Darlings did not buy cheap.

"Relax, relax," Jim said, holding up a hand and chuckling. "I know what a phone is, I was just joking around. Communicator devices are more my speed but I've read enough books to know what a phone is. Promise."

"I don't know anything about the 23rd century," Juliet protested, with a little laugh. "You could have told me anything."

As soon as she said that, she realized how it sounded and laughed again. "That's not a challenge."

"It's not?" Jim made a show of frowning in an exaggerated fashion and kicking at some dirt on the ground. "Well, way to ruin my entire day!"

Not really.

"I'm so sorry," Juliet said, trying not to laugh. "How could I possibly make it up to you?"

"That's a very good question," Jim said, nodding. "One I might have to think on for awhile. For now, I think the basket's good enough to tide my wounded soul over."

"Okay, well, I'm in 327 and my number is in the phone already," Juliet told him. "If you have any questions, I'm here to help."

"And you will definitely be the first person I call," Jim said, nodding. "Thanks for the help. Appreciated."
