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

Whoever worked their magic to ensure that the welcome picnics had nice weather had cut their mojo very close this time around. The weather was lovely today - sunny and hot enough to make it clear that summer in Fandom had finally begun - but the overnight thunderstorms had left puddles all over the lawn that hadn't quite dried up yet.

Still, the tables and chairs had managed to be scattered around, along with the buffet table of moddable food and drinks, and the information table with name tags, the Big and Little Sibling list, and the list of new roommates. The only thing missing was people to enjoy the festivities!

[OCD is up! This is part one of the picnic, specifically for meeting siblings, roommates, and teachers. The rest of the picnic is happening 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!]

Snow White, huh?

Toby was pretty sure that meant he'd ended up with a girl this time around. Really, though, being a foster kid meant he'd had roommates most of his life, so... as long as she didn't steal his stuff, okay.

Theo, Raven though, was a very unusual name for a girl. Maybe it was short for Theodora?

She hoped there hadn't been a paperwork mix up. She certainly could be a boy if she wanted to, but the idea didn't appeal to her in the long term.

So the school assigned siblings. Raven wondered if it was part of some sort of Greek system. She made sure her name badge was nice and visible, then spent some time straightening her skirt and adjusting her scarf.

Appearances, she knew, were everything, and she wanted to make sure hers was as perfect as possible.

Pinkie was already super buzzed from getting to drive the shuttle from the airport, and now here she got to meet and welcome another new teacher! She had her welcome wagon all set up and ready, and she'd triple checked to make sure she put the cake batter in the oven and the confetti in the air cannons, this time.

There'd be no firing of cake batter at her new teaching buddy this time, no sirree!

Thor had a buddy! A teaching buddy!

Because somehow, someone, in their infinite wisdom, had concluded that since Thor had now been responsible for the education of several dozen youngsters and had not, in fact, screwed that up, he was clearly responsible enough to mentor another teacher.

Of course, he was also pleased to just chat with other non-teaching-buddy teachers. Or students.

And eat the food, of course. Because Fandom knew how to throw a good feast.

Ender wasn't exactly happy to be here, but he had a lifetime's practice at keeping on a poker face. He stood there looking friendly, but not particularly approachable - his hands clasped behind his back in a subconscious military stance.

Sigh.

True to med staff's word, Kaidan was back in mostly healthy shape by the time the picnic rolled around. His arm still ached and there were still remnants of bruises visible on his face, but neither were exactly a problem.

He kept his eyes on the students as they milled around. Nothing terrible had happened at a newbie picnic yet - but there was always a chance.

"Andy!"

There was a glint of overplayed enthusiasm in Peter's eye as he approached. "You didn't tell me you were coming back for another swing at the ol' island!"

"So what are you doing here, kid?" Peter asked, coming to a stop right in front of him.

Ender had to fight the urge to roll his eyes at Peter's frankly adolescent attempt at a physical power play. He forced his body to relax - not tense up, because he didn't want to have a stupid testosterone-off with Peter, but he also couldn't step away and admit defeat.

"Portalocity incident," he said, keeping his voice light and conversational. "They're stranding us here for a few months while they take a look at my universe. You might want to check with them and see if your own is at risk for similar problems."

Bay was officially not a new kid anymore, and she was even going to have a school-sanctioned little brother to prove it. She made sure her nametag was nicely decorated and visible and then waited for Theo.

She wouldn't even try to break him too badly.

This marked Jack's second picnic as a teacher; any more of these, and he'd start feeling like quite the old hand. He took some muffins and fruit and watched the people mill about, trying to suss out who (if any) among the newcomers might be more interesting than usual.

So Ben was a teacher now (thanks, Portalocity, for that). In deference to his new position, he was not trying to eat the entire buffet today, but he definitely had a plateful of treats he hadn't seen a lot of on Shakespeare.

Mmm, processed food.

"How did the drive go?" Anakin asked, ambling up to her with a small smile.

Anakin was there with a cup of coffee and his phone out as he argued with a Georgetown bistro about Mother's Day brunch reservations for tomorrow.

Josh, remembering the spread from the last picnic, had no problem getting up early on a Saturday to head down and meet the new students.

He had one of the finest muffins in all the land in his hand as he looked for new faces in the crowd--especially any who looked particularly dazed after meeting a talking pink pony...

"Great!" Pinkie enthused, throwing her hooves in the air. "I didn't crash it once!"

"Always a good start," Anakin agreed, nodding. "Were the students polite to you?"

"Yup! Well, one of them just stared a lot, but I've gotten pretty used to that."
