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

[nomoresportscars]

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!]

Paige barely knew where she was right now. It just seemed too bright and cheerful to be real. She was so used to crumbling, shadows and darkness that this place seemed like a dream.

Just to be safe, she'd pulled a few spirits to her on arrival for protection. Jaxon had assured her this was a place she could recover and be safe and open but she didn't completely trust him.

Still. She couldn't deny the change in enviroment felt nice and she didn't feel like someone was going to appear and arrest her and take her back to Sheol I.

She'd give it a try, she supposed.

You know that spot right over there by a tree where nobody was standing? PEW. With a strong breeze trailing behind him, a guy in a pretty sleek costume - if he said so himself - was standing there, carrying a single duffle bag on his shoulder. He leaned against the tree for a moment to catch his breath, went to wipe his brow, and apparently realized something because he started cursing under his breath.

PEW.

He was gone again, although a snow drift suggested he went that way.

PEW.

Now there was just a guy in normal clothes. Not a costume! Welcome to Fandom High, James. Try to be inconspicuous.

Batman loomed off to the side of the teacher area. He had a new 'buddy' to meet and he wanted to make sure she could find his easily.

Because it was difficult to track down a huge, ripped dude in a bat costume, yes. Shut up. He was being helpful.

Chuck swung by the roommate list eventually. It wasn't like he wasn't used to sharing rooms-- hell, he'd had a great lot of more roommates to a room once.

Didn't mean he wasn't going to glower in the direction of the list. Just... that had a lot to do with him glowering at everything today.

To make up for it, Max parked his tiny bulldog arse on Chuck's foot and panted happily at everyone who passed by.

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Spring 2014]

'Sibling'. Wasn't that cute?

Or a waste of Chuck's time.

He'd put on the name tag because he'd been told that was part of the program. He was already thinking about peeling it back off. He didn't have time for this shit.

Conversely, the puppy at his feet looked like it was about to have a joygasm at the mere existence of everything.

Kaidan wasn't getting rained on. That was a step up from Vancouver. He could handle everything else, he felt. Well-- as long as there weren't any unpleasant surprises today.

He stuck to the teacher area, keeping an eye on the students, sipping his coffee. Good enough for him. For now.

Jono had made the short trek back to the Boards after dropping off the students, mostly to get himself another jacket. He'd loaned his last one to a girl who was wearing nothing but a slip dress and a pair of diving boots, of all things, and it was still January out here.

Of course the one he found was also black leather. He had several.

That accomplished, he was taking his place in the teacher area, looking as casual as he possibly could about it. He felt a bit conspicuous standing there wrapped from head to toe in black leather when so many people were probably still expecting Big Blue, but at least, he supposed, he wasn't quite as conspicuous as Batman.

"Siblings?" Elsa's face fell a little once she realized she was going to have to contend with more than just a roommate around here. The expression only lasted a moment before she steeled herself and tried to shake it off, though. This was the situation she'd stepped into in order to get some distance from Anna... she'd have to adjust to it. Going back to Arendelle right now was not an option.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Spring 2014]

[iceolatedqueen.livejournal.com]

... Wait.

Wait.

Elsa was still wrapping her head around the idea of having a school-assigned sibling and a roommate. Nobody had mentioned this bit.

"William?"

That was not a girls' name!

Needless to say, Sparkle had made a breakaway to here from the radio station.

"Did I make it?" He looked around, and then, noting with some relief that the picnic was still in full swing, he stepped up onto a picnic table and yelled out at the top of his lungs, "CELIA? I'M LOOKING FOR A CELIA OVER HERE."

... Sorry, Celia. It was semi-Sparkle-has-a-sibling tradition.

Isabelle had signed up to be a big sibling on a whim. Alec had done it, and based on that, she thought she'd have no trouble handling it. So, she looked pretty pleased with herself, having slapped her nametag on to the chest of her dress (every day was a dress day for Izzy, especially with killer heeled winter boots) and then scanning the crowd until she spotted the other nametag she was looking for.

"Hi!" she said, as she approached. "Chuck, right?"

He was cute, so she had pretty much already gotten what she'd wanted out of this experiment.

Evan was chewing his lip as he looked at the new roommate list. It wasn't that he didn't want a new roomie. He did! And hopefully they wouldn't mind that he had a dog - who was currently sitting at the end of a leash at his feet, tongue lolling happily and tail wagging at a mile a minute - and that his books tended to migrate to all corners of the room when he let them.

More than that, though, maybe they wouldn't mind that his French was... minimal. Sure, he'd been cloned and raised by a man who spoke with a French accent, but he was pretty sure Fantomex wasn't actually French, any more than he was from Kansas. And he was almost positive that his new roommate didn't have 'elephant' in their name, but that's how his brain kept trying to parse that last name, there.

"Yeah," Chuck drawled. "You'll be my sibling then, right?"

Did he sound unimpressed? Yep. Like this was a waste of his time? Yep. Had Max just run up to Isabelle to nuzzle her ankle? Yep.

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Spring 2014]

[walkswithcoyote]

Euphrasie Fauchelevent.

Right.

Mercy was glad to be a big sibling, but she really hoped she wasn't going to start things off by butchering her little sibling's name.

She stuck on her own name tag and began looking around.

McCoy was here; he was alive, but damnit, he was definitely missing at least a few atoms from the portal over. Who in their right mind looked at a human body and said "hey, that looks like something I should poof through some quantum doohicky". Whatever happened to driving somewhere in a nice, grounded car? Or walking. Walking was nice.

(Don't tell him how many miles San Francisco is from Fandom. Logic will rustle him.)

He was in the teacher area, trying to look welcoming while also grumbling about travel through space-time.

Gert made sure that Old Lace kept her distance while she looked around for her new little sibling. In fact, she directed the dinosaur to hang out near the bonfire. This temperature was not good for dinosaurs.

In the meantime, she grabbed some hot chocolate and snacks that she was hoping her sibling would like, wandering around in search of the right name tag.

Alana still missed Danny and his amazing powers of dance, but she figured the cushy situation of having a room to herself wasn't going to last forever. So it wasn't with any disappointment that she spotted her name on the roomie list and leaned against a tree to wait for Celia, nametag affixed to her chest.

Celia looked like a girl's name to her, so she figured once she'd explained the whole Landfallians-have-wings thing to her the awkward part would be over.

Cheryl stood off to the side, clutching a steaming cup of coffee and eyeing the various passers-by.

What. A. Freakshow.

Like seriously. And she was used to New York. And Krieger.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Spring 2014]

[furnaceface]

That space-time travel was definitely something to get used to, yes. Jono could even sympathize! Though, at this particular moment, he was mostly going to just swing by to introduce himself, instead.

//Excuse me? Leonard McCoy, is it?// He gave McCoy a bit of a nod as he approached, so that he'd know who the owner of that disembodied psionic voice was. //Jonothon Starsmore. I'm your teaching buddy this semester.//

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Spring 2014]

"So like...'Batman' is like, a literal thing with you?" Cheryl asked as she approached. "'Cause I got the memo about my teaching buddy named Batman but I figured it was like...Jewish? Like Goldman. Except a Goldman isn't usually a man who's gold." Pause. "Unless you're not him. In which case, nice cape."

"Here!" Celia shot a gloved hand into the air, flailing it in a wave as she made her way over to the boy who was shouting. And now people would be looking, so she tried to keep her fast-reddening face shielded by her hat until her blush subsided. "I'm Celia. You don't need to shout. Are you...Sparkle?"

They really liked sparkly things here, didn't they?
