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 moddable 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 (if snowy) 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. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"I don't know," she said. "Definitely not from reality TV..."

"It'll come to me eventually," James said. "You were saying people turn into animals? That's weird."
throughaphase: (okay well)

"Yeah, it happens now and then. People'll turn into one for a few days or whatever, then change back to normal. This town is kind of... unique," she said, diplomatically.

"I don't like the way you said that," James decided. Goddammit, Fred had been right, hadn't he?

"At least it grows on you?" Kitty tried.

"So does athlete's foot," James said. "So, what else do I need to know about this place other than people having weird names and sometimes being animals?"
throughaphase: (getting the point across)

That weird name comment got you a weird look, James. "Well, sometimes we get invaded by things. Or have sharknadoes. Also, you might run into other people from your universe but different timelines than you, and all of this is a totally normal thing."

"Yeah, I already spotted some guy I know. He had no idea I was making faces behind his back," James chuckled. "Chump."

Yeah, talk of universes and timelines to a one-time member of the Squadron Sinister? That was nothing.
throughaphase: (oh?)

"Which guy?" Call her curious.

"The guy with the stupid face," James said, pointing at the guy whose face was stupid.

Kitty would disagree with his assessment, probably.
throughaphase: (curious)

Yeah, Kitty liked that face, personally.

"How do you know him?" she asked, since now there was a chance she knew this guy somehow too.

"From work," James said. "Wait. You probably know him, don't you? Crap."
throughaphase: (sitting)

"He's my boyfriend," Kitty said. Which might make him less likely to answer her next question, but. "What kind of work?"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Spring 2014]

"I don't have to answer that," James decided.
throughaphase: (serious listening)

"But it helps in getting to know each other as teaching buddies." Eh, a girl had to try.

"I prefer to look at the future, not the past," James said. "I'm very optimistic that way."
throughaphase: (eyebrow raise)

"Which is why you make faces behind people's backs?" she asked.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Spring 2014]

[identity profile] usedtowhizz.livejournal.com 2014-01-04 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"They were very optimistic faces," James declared. "It's bad teaching buddy form to doubt that kind of thing!"
throughaphase: (neutral listening)

"Very optimistic faces to a guy you said was a chump. Yeah, I see how I'd be in the wrong," Kitty said dryly.

"It's good that you can admit your faults, buddy!" James said. "I think we can grow from this as a buddy team."
throughaphase: (going over there now)

"Yeah, the odds of that are super." Not.
