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!

Drac wasn't yawning only through sheer willpower. While he'd been in his coffin, the lid could only keep out so many excited squeals of "Holy Rabies" (http://fandomhigh.livejournal.com/3390682.html?thread=200770266#t200770266) before he gave up and let Mavis drag him out at the unholy hour of dusk.

He was off to the side of the teachers area, staying in the shadows mostly because he wanted to get an idea of what was going on before making his entrance. Not at all because he was stalking keeping an eye on his daughter.

He definitely wasn't wearing a name tag, but how many un-paired teachers were left?

There was a new person she didn't recognize here, and Pinkie had been waiting so long that she didn't even care if he was supposed to be her teaching buddy or not. He was getting her welcome wagon, either way.

"Hihihihihihi!" Pinkie greeted (at least hew as used to excited squealing?). "I'm Pinkie Pie, what's your name?"

Drac raised an eyebrow. Not at the fact that he was faced with a talking pony, but because she was so perky this early.

She was probably young; Mavis' age, even.

But polite was polite and perhaps she would tell her parents about this meeting and they would remember it when they decided to choose a vacation spot, soooo. He gave the pony a small smile. "Hello miss Pie. I am Count Dracula." He gave a small bow, his arm leaving his cape to rest at his middle as he did. "It is pleasant meeting you."

Pinkie gasped, hooves leaving the ground with the force of the reaction. "FINALLY!" she said. "I've been waiting for you to show up forever and ever and ever! I'm your new teaching buddy!"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2013 - II]

Well that was confusing. "Waiting, my child? But it's so early" He glanced up at the sky that still had trails of red in it.

Wait...

"Teaching... Buddy? What is a teaching buddy?" His accent made the word sound a bit funny, 'bud-dy'.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2013 - II]

[locointhecoco]

His accent was adorable. "Well, yeah! The party's been going on for aaaages." She followed his glance and tilted her head. "Ooo, are you a nighttime person? Just like Princess Luna!"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2013 - II]

[bluhblahbluh.livejournal.com]

This one, with the hyper...

"I do not know this Princess Luna, but I sleep during the day, yes. I am allergic to the sun. I assume that you are not?" Some monsters weren't, but it was still odd to him.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2013 - II]

[locointhecoco]

"Nope!" Pinkie said. "I'm already pink, and pretty fuzzy, so the sun doesn't even really burn me much." Only when it would be funny, really. "Advantage: pony!"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2013 - II]

[bluhblahbluh.livejournal.com]

"Yeeeeeeees." Really, what was there to say to that?


So.

"Are there many day monsters at this school?" He had neglected to ask, having spent the last hundred and fifteen years running a nocturnal establishment.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2013 - II]

[locointhecoco]

"I'm not sure how many monsters," Pinkie said thoughtfully. "But most people -- they're almost all shaped like you, not like me -- are awake and around during the day. That's when classes are."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2013 - II]

[bluhblahbluh.livejournal.com]

"Classes are during the day?" He sighed. He was used to working odd hours, but he was not looking forward to giving up his sleep on purpose. "Well, Mavis will be excited."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2013 - II]

[locointhecoco]

"Ooo," Pinkie said, sensing a change of subject might be nice for her new friend. "Who's Mavis?"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2013 - II]

[bluhblahbluh.livejournal.com]

"Mavis is my daughter. Mavis Dracula. She's going to be attending classes at the school while I am teaching." Well, it certainly made him smile again! "You will love meeting her; she's like you."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2013 - II]

[locointhecoco]

"Oh, I like meeting everypony," Pinkie said. "But she sounds like loads of fun!"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2013 - II]

[bluhblahbluh.livejournal.com]

"Mavis is not a pony. She's a vampire," Drac countered. "But yes, she does enjoy having fun. Even I engage in the occasional bingo game."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2013 - II]

[locointhecoco]

Pinkie gasped, delighted. "I love bingo! We should all get together and play some, sometime!"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2013 - II]

[bluhblahbluh.livejournal.com]

Bingo without an occasion? PINKIE, YOU WILD ONE!

Drac actually smiled. "That would be delightful. Who is this 'all'? Fellow teachers?"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2013 - II]

[locointhecoco]

"Well sure!" Pinkie grinned. "We'd have to invite Derek, he's my best friend-slash-coteacher! He's pretty grumpy on the outside because he's not very well adjusted and he's a werewolf," PINKIE THAT WASN'T ACTUALLY A WHISPER "but he's really a big softie on the inside."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2013 - II]

[bluhblahbluh.livejournal.com]

Drac nodded. "Werewolves usually are. Although my friend Wayne only became grumpy after his first litter was born."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2013 - II]

[locointhecoco]

"Awwww!" Pinkie sighed happily. "Kids are the best, but they can really run ya ragged! My friends the Cakes had two little twin foals and they keep everypony on their hooves, that's for sure."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2013 - II]

[bluhblahbluh.livejournal.com]

"They certainly are a handful. But they are worth it." Or at least Mavis was.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2013 - II]

[locointhecoco]

"I'm looking forward to 'em myself. Just as soon as I meet my very special somepony!"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2013 - II]

[bluhblahbluh.livejournal.com]

Drac frowned at that. "Aren't you a bit young to be thinking about that?" He was still having trouble believing she was a fellow teacher.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2013 - II]

[locointhecoco]

"Pfft," Pinkie scoffed, waving a hoof. "I'm twenty four!"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2013 - II]

[bluhblahbluh.livejournal.com]

...

"A hundred twenty four?"
