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

It was a new year, and with the new year came the new spring term, and Fandom High was all set to welcome its new students, along with those just returning from holiday trips home. It was a familiar setting for the latter bunch: there was the requisite bonfire, with tables and chairs scattered around it, as well as the buffet table with moldable warm food and drinks.

And of course, name tags and lists of Big and Little Siblings as well as roommates. Yep, the weather was okay for early January, and Fandom was all ready to celebrate the start of a new term.

[OCD 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. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"Well, the leaders should be," Josh said, "or else you've got a whole other set of problems. So, Natalie Adams, why are you taking public speaking?"
whenshewasnice: (Considerable I guess.)

"Because it's something I don't particularly like," Natalie said, because honesty was the best and only policy. "But which I know will turn out to be useful eventually."

"You'll eventually have to talk to other people," Josh agreed, "even if it's just trying to tell people in a bar to shut up so you can watch the State of the Union address."

Josh was quite a party person.

"I would never be in that situation." You know. In a bar, trying to watch anything important. "But yes. Something like that."

"You wouldn't want to be a TA, would you?" Josh asked.

Oh, hey, Natalie did actually emote! Fancy that.

Well, her eyebrows bounced a bit. It was a lot compared to everything else, okay. She just hadn't expected that. "... Sure."

"Good," Josh said. "I like my coffee black."

He remembered one very bad hungover morning and the coffee Donna had brought him.

"Also hot. And from today."

"From the day you're drinking it on," Natalie corrected, back to her perfect deadpan. "Because I could use that to bring you coffee from today on Tuesday."

Josh snapped as he pointed to her. "Yes, that thing," he said. "Fresh, delicious coffee. Not the other one."

"Okay, I'll keep that in mind." Lest he go insane without his caffeine, or something. "Fresh, hot, black coffee, got it."

"Then we'll get along fine," Josh said.
