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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Once again, the front lawn of the school had been set up to welcome the new students and teachers who were--assuming the bus trip went safely--arriving in Fandom for the first time. The goal was to create a friendly atmosphere to ease everyone into Fandom life, so the helpers had arranged the school's blue and gold tables everywhere, along with streamers and just a touch of glitter. Someday, the school would run out of glitter, but it would not be this day. There was also plenty of food to be shared next to the information tables, listing out siblings and teaching buddies and roommates, oh my.

Of course, no welcome picnic was allowed to run truly smoothly and the island, seemingly not wanting to miss out on the festivities, was blessing everyone with flower crowns. But hey, at least it wasn't raining something odd, right?

[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 [Fall 2013]

[bigdamnprincipal]

Go on, old folks, try to explain the crowns.

Great, he was on this island for five minutes and something weird had already happened. Some part of him was hoping the whole weirdness thing had been an elaborate joke. At least he didn't seem to be the only person wearing a crown.

He slapped a name tag on his cardigan and waited for his sibling with the unpronounceable name. Was it like a weird spelling of Shiloh like Brangelina's kid or...

Stiles didn't mind the flower crown so much. He had more things to worry about than a fun bit of Fandom weirdness, really, and he was pretty sure the crown distracted from how tired he looked.

He didn't remember signing up for the sibling thing, but he didn't mind it. He was always up for giving a lecture on Weird Stuff 101. He just hoped Raleigh was told Stiles' nickname instead of his actual name because there was nobody around with that monstrosity written on their name tag.

Even if she had a flower crown despite the lack of icon look deal with it, Sia looked like wearing it was totally natural. She also made sure to have her nametag on, which had "Marasiah" and then "Sia" written under it because she knew by now that that made it easier when talking to the little sib. Now to find an Isabelle.

Vider stuck on her nametag, then reached up to adjust her braids while she waited for her 'big sibling,' only for her fingers to encounter...flowers. She didn't remember anyone putting those on her head, and when she attempted to remove it it turned out that thing was really stuck on there.

So that was weird.

[dressedinblood]

Anna was wandering around checking nametags and calling, "Cecil? Is there a Cecil here?" every now and then.

She kind of liked the flowers, actually.

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Fall 2013]

[toomuchmoop.livejournal.com]

Yup, there was a flower crown on Danny's head. He could only acknowledge it with a grin.

"Nice. Aloha to you, too, Fandom High!"

CLearly, it was just a thing, since everyone else had them, too. So, feeling welcome and ready, he found his name tag, slapped it across his chest, and looked around the picnic, wondering where to wreak havoc first.

Alana could deal with being the only Landfallian around, but between that and the floral crown that had suddenly appeared on her head, she was feeling a little insecure by the time she got to the picnic. Hopefully Jessica, whoever that was, would be able to explain what was going on.

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Fall 2013]

[pulseof_life]

Yeul did not have a crown, though that bothered her very little. She wore her hair up, tucked into her headpiece, with the veil across her face today.

She hadn't had any real reason to do so, just that she'd felt like it.

Quietly she glanced around, looking for someone who might be Daphne.

Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2013]

[bigdamnprincipal]

There was a roommate list on one of the tables, for everyone to find their new best friend:

209: Daphne Blake & Sparkle
216: Cecil Baldwin & Sholeh Zeela a Zhahar
301: Raleigh Becket & Isabelle Lightwood
302: Alana & Danny Vasquez
402: Vider Bearskin & Scott McCall
403: Isaac Lahey & George Drayton

[Current students moving rooms or gaining roommates were handwavily notified in advance!]

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2013]

[3girls-1core.livejournal.com]

A new sibling and a new roommate, too! Sholeh was very worried about this development. Her other roommates hadn't stuck around long enough to notice that, well, there was something weird about her. Hopefully this one wouldn't, either.

Or, well, that he'd be okay with weird. More weird than even just flower crowns. "Cecil? Is there someone named Cecil here?"

If there were, she had cookies for you!

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2013]

[seveninchmotto]

Oh, Isabelle smirked at the list. She could definitely live with this.

Then she glanced around for Raleigh.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2013]

[bearmaidenfair]

Vider was used to sharing close quarters, but she couldn't say she'd expected to be roomed with a boy. But it didn't look like she was the only one, so she supposed that was just the way things were done here.

She turned away from the list and looked around for Scott.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2013]

[toomuchmoop.livejournal.com]

While Danny wasn't used to sharing his room with someone else, communal living was just a part of life for the Bravest Warriors, and at least it looked like he got to share his room with someone he'd met and of the female persuasion.

"Sweet!"

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2013]

[myownface]

Well, this was it, then. The day that Sparkle got to find out about his new roomie. The person that he'd be sharing a room with for the foreseeable future, until the island managed to, like, scare one of them off or kill them both or something like that.

Yep, the person who was going to have to deal with the glacial drift of Sparkle's stuff from his side of the floor over to theirs.

"A girl?"

He was going to maybe just spend the rest of the day making faces at the roommate list. If nothing else, he supposed, maybe they could do one another's hair or something.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2013]

George sidled up to the table to meet his new roommate uh... late.

In his defence, that was down to a few wyvern-related issues they'd encountered between Adrianglia and Fandom. Gaston still had some kinks to work out with his navigation skills.

But he was at least here, and looking out for an Isaac.

Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2013]

[bigdamnprincipal]

Find your new drinking buddies! Compare your pretty new headgear!

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2013]

[throughaphase]

Kitty'd had a pretty rough week, she apparently had a shiny new radio job, and now she had a flower crown.

You know what, she was just gonna go with it, and prepare to explain this to her poor teaching buddy.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2013]

[not_a_whiner]

Kaidan was ten hours out of a warzone, and while he'd showered, he still kind of looked the part just by the sense of exhaustion that clung to him like a blanket. Still, he had a job to do, so he was here, nametag and all, keeping an eye on the newbies.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2013]

[locointhecoco]

It was Pinkie Pie's favorite day of the semester (besides all the other days). She had her welcome wagon all set, her party cannon primed, just in case, and was on the lookout -- literally, she was halfway up a tree, peering over the crowd with one hoof shading her eyes -- for anyone who looked like they might be her latest teaching buddy.

"Ooo!" she cried to . . . whomever might happen to be listening. "I can see my house from here!"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2013]

[doubleohblonde]

None of Bond's suits worked with the mass of greenery on his head, so it was shirtsleeves instead today.

He made it work.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2013]

[electrocynic]

Electroclash did not have flower crown. But she did have her phone out, and was taking pictures of everyone else with their new headgear. And laughing.

It made it more fun to have to wear a nametag and lazily look around for her teaching partner. The Ice King, seriously?

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2013]

[furnaceface]

Jono had found out all of that morning upon arriving to the island that he'd been registered to teach a class this semester. He'd stared at the paperwork on his desk at the Boards, wondered idly if he had the moose to thank for that, or gremlins, and then had sighed and made his way to the picnic.

He still felt (and looked) like hell warmed over, but that wasn't going to stop him from staking out a place at a picnic table and counting himself lucky that the island wasn't adorning his head with flowers.

This bloody island.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2013]

[jaegerbombdad]

The flowers that had somehow found their way onto Herc's head were a bit weird, sure, but what he couldn't get over was that somehow his dog had gotten them, too.

And since he only had one good arm he had to hold the leash to keep Max from running off, instead of trying to get rid of this thing on his head. This was just brilliant.

Maybe this Skywalker person he'd apparently been assigned would be able to explain.
