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

[momslilassassin]

The weather was just as hazy, hot and humid as a typical July on the East Coast of the United States could get, but the sun was shining brightly, which was kind of a rarity this summer.

It wasn't raining anything weird, the teal deer were keeping to themselves in the Preserve, and another welcome picnic was underway complete with tables and chairs for chatting around and a buffet table filled (and then some) with all kinds of moddable summer treats.

The lists of new roommates, student siblings and teaching buddies were posted in a prominent location. Now all that was needed were people to enjoy the day!

[OOC: This is part one of the picnic, specifically for meeting siblings, roommates, and teachers. The rest of the picnic will be in post two in an effort to stop our browsers from dying. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers and townies!

Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Summer 2013 - II]

[momslilassassin]

Let the scarring begin!

Emma had been prepared to get the hell out of there as soon as the shuttle emptied, but there was a picnic and they hadn't seemed to have realised she wasn't supposed to be here yet, so now she was standing over here, complete with a nametag.

Well, since Mira was more or less dressed head to toe in leather, she wasn't keen on putting a sticky nametag with who knows what kind of adhesive on her anywhere. And even if she took her jacket off (which was unacceptable, even with this heat), it wasn't like her shirt had a ton of room for a nametag.

So sorry, big sibling Alec, but if you wanted to figure out which new person was yours, you were just going to have to use the process of elimination. Or guess. Or let her hunt you down. Any of the three would work.

Okay, "Mordin" was kind of a weird name but anybody that used the nickname Stiles to cover up the horror of their own name had no room to judge. He had a name tag on his flannel (no shirtlessness for him, thank you) and was doing his best to read everybody else's tags to see if he could find his new little sibling.

'Flick,' huh? Sparkle raised an eyebrow at his sibling assignment, smirking a little bit as he smoothed out his nametag over his chest. Yeah, he'd obviously heard weirder names than 'Flick.' Now the question was, did Flick know anyone half as crazy as Sparkle?

... Sparkle, with his raccoon eyes and his freshly blonde spiked hair, who had stepped up onto the nearest picnic table and who was hollering out into the crowd?

"Flick!? I'm lookin' for a guy named Flick over here! Anyone see him? Or her, whatever kind of name that is!"

Cordelia had skipped the shuttle, because please. Besides, once she saw the castle, which she thought was pretty cool and very European, she thought this was a much better first impression to get.

Of course, now there was the lameness of having a "big sibling," but all schools had to have their weird traditions, right? She didn't put her nametag on, because it didn't go with this outfit, but she was carrying it in her hand, because that was helpful. Now, who looked like an Anna?

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Summer 2013 - II]

[notconflicted]

It wasn't Sia's first time doing this, so she was relatively sure she get through this without scarring her new little sibling. While she hated the nametag, she wrote "Marasiah" on it, with "(Sia)" under it since she'd learned by now, and kept an eye out for Mavis.

Victor had a neatly-lettered nametag firmly attached to his shirt as he scoped out the newbies. Emily seemed to have adjusted okay; he hoped Katherine Li, whoever she was, would be able to say the same.

Meet Your Roommate [Summer 2013 - II]

[momslilassassin]

Who will be so much fun to introduce to your parents in the fall!

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Summer 2013 - II]

[shippedtomaine]

...and Emma's name was on the list. Okay, this was getting a bit too weird for her.

On the plus side though, at least there was a roof over her head until this mistake was fixed.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Summer 2013 - II]

[notapredator.livejournal.com]

Mira was actually kind of glad to see that she ended up rooming with the person with the most normal-sounding name on the list. She started looking around for this Mordin girl, all without realizing that Mordin was apparently a boy's name or that she was going to be in a room of Great Bioware Justice.

She hoped her lack of a nametag didn't confuse poor Mordin much.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Summer 2013 - II]

[flickofthewrist]

Oh, this place was getting better and better. Now, he had to room with someone else? Mandel Academy, for all its many (MANY) faults, still had some pretty decent digs.

And now he was in a completely unfamiliar place with a big sibling and a roommate. He was going to be such pleasant company.

Really.

Flick really missed Jude right now. He hated feeling off guard.

When Anna got around to checking the list to see if she'd been assigned a new roommate since Stacey moved out, she might be heard muttering to herself, "Well, Mavis is probably a girl's name."

Many of which are wearing capes or masks. Just go with it.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2013 - II]

[not_a_whiner]

Kaidan wasn't wearing any capes or masks - but he was wearing a military uniform. So... there was that.

If he looked a little absent, well... he was trying to formulate a decent class program in his head. You'd think having personal experience with the subject matter would help, but you'd be mistaken.

Ender was wearing a t-shirt, actually, and a set of pants, and a pair of shoes. And that was about it.

He looked calm, but then he usually did, his eyes set on the crowds.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2013 - II]

[momslilassassin]

Well, Ben was still a teacher (even if it felt weird), so he was hanging around with people he still mentally slotted as "grown ups", drinking coffee and trying to look older than his 21 years.

Anakin was definitely rocking the swirly robe (because who didn't love a swirly robe, even when it was going to crank up to ridiculously hot that afternoon) and keeping his eyes open for the new staff members and students.

With as many years as he had on the island now, he could pick them out by emotions--a handy trick when people showed up with the same faces as people he used to know.

Josh was not great at wearing casual clothes--it came with wearing a suit for almost twenty years--so he was in khakis and a polo instead: the unofficial Washington DC summer wardrobe.

He was still drinking his coffee hot, though. Nothing would stop him from drinking hot coffee--not even July in Maryland.

Since he had an assigned teaching buddy and there might be some new people curious as to who the guy in the black cape and cowl might be, Batman was actually wearing his cape like a normal person might wear a cape; it was almost completely trailing behind him, showing off the bat-emblem like the most personalized nametag ever.

Also, this showed off the fact that he was wearing a spandex-like body armor with the underwear on the outside, and that was always a good way to make sure local people were uncomfortable.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2013 - II]

[justonecondition]

Bruce wasn't sure he had very much expertise to share, but he had been assigned a teaching buddy anyway, which apparently meant he had to attend this picnic thing again. Somehow it was even more overwhelming today than it had been last time - but then, last time he had allowed himself to stick to the fringes of the picnic, while today he was making at least a small effort to stick to places where Kitty might be able to find him.

He had a small plate of food in one hand (for himself) and a couple of bottles of water against his other arm, one for him and one for Kitty.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2013 - II]

[locointhecoco]

Pinkie was here, bouncing around like her limbs were made of pogo sticks, looking around at all the new people and keeping an extra special eye out for her newest teaching buddy.

This was her absolute favoritest part of being a teacher at Fandom. New friends showed up all the time, and the island knew that what they really needed right off was a nice big party!

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2013 - II]

[throughaphase]

Oh, this was weird. Kitty had been at the picnic a few times before out of curiosity, but she was actually supposed to be here now. She looked kind of happy to be here, though, and she'd left her mask behind years ago.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2013 - II]

[bitten_notshy]

Jack was still in the polo shirt and khakis he'd worn to the airport, which struck him as entirely formal enough for a muggy July Saturday. He grazed on food from the buffet as he watched the new students. They kept getting younger.
