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

[bigdamnprincipal]

With all the rain that had blown through earlier in the week, the school administration had been worried that welcome picnic day would be wet and gloomy. Thankfully, it was sunny, warm, and beautiful outside, and everything had been set up just in time for the shuttle of new folks to arrive. There was a buffet table of food and drinks waiting, along with the list of Big and Little Siblings, the list of roommates, and more name tags than they'd probably need for three picnics.

Also, there wasn't a single flower out on the lawn after last weekend. Just saying.

With everything in place, it looked like it was time for the first summer term to begin!


[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!]

Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Summer 2014]

Let the hazing brain breaking begin!

Edward had sobered some in the hours since arriving at the terminal. Unfortunately, that meant his head now hurt every time he tilted it wrong, and so he had retreated to the shadows to avoid the sky's blistering assault on his senses.

He had simply followed the others here, as this seemed to be where everyone had been going. But he was without his letters, and so no amount of looking around had made it clear exactly where he was-- he'd have to ask, once the pain faded.

Any moment now.

Barry probably should be doing the social thing and be looking for his sib but he was instead looking at his tablet and taking readings of the island.

He had however put on a name tag just in case someone was looking for him.

Isabelle had a nametag on her shirt and an easy smile on her face, and she was ready to welcome another fake little sibling.

Perhaps Kaylin would be less likely to trigger an urge to punch than her last one had been.

Apparently, he'd gone a little insane when he decided to sign up for sibling duty. Or insane-er than he already was.

Whatever, Kira sounded like a girl's name so he already had an advantage there in that he'd flirt and be charming, if need be. Or he'd just take off and leave her to fend for herself.

Hey, no one said he was a nice person!

The boat had handwavily dropped him off early in the morning, and from just finding his way from the harbour to the school, Ichabod Crane had noticed a fair share of oddities on the island. He certainly hadn't expected a remote place like this to be quite so... foreign.

Wearing a nametag he now looked for a so called 'big sibling' named Alana. That sounded like a woman's name. He had no idea this school admitted female students, but from looking around the crowd she wasn't the only one.

Vider had no idea how to pronounce her little sibling's name, but then, since coming here she'd realized some people had trouble with her own, so she wouldn't judge. She hadn't had the forethought to make a sign or anything, so she was wandering the crowd, peering at anyone she didn't recognize's nametag in hopes they would be a Jalian.

Andros picked up his nametag after a close call with the one for 'Anders,' though luckily he realized his error before peeling it off its backing, and stuck it to his shirt, then looked around for his 'big sibling,' whatever that might entail.

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

Anders still had little idea what was going on, but they'd told him to wait for a "big sibling" and so he did. He strolled around the space, keeping an eye open for an Eleanor. His own nametag was firmly affixed to the center front of his robe.

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

[dauntless-four.livejournal.com]

Four was running a little behind--he was busy striking the "Tobias Eaton" from his nametag and making sure it read "Four" instead.

So if anyone was looking for him, it might take some work.

Rapunzel was still clutching her hair to her chest as she looked around for someone who looked like they might be named Raven.

She was guessing they'd probably have dark hair, right? That seemed like a good start, what with the whole dark-bird-as-a-name thing. Maybe?

Oh, Rapunzel.

At least she'd managed to grab her own nametag and stuck it high on her shoulder so people would be able to see it over her hair if she was holding it, as she was now.

Loki took a seat, peering around for anyone with a nametag of 'Felicity' because he was starting to be old hat at these days. He let Ikol go to see if he could spot her as well.

Though he was relatively certain that the bird would end up eating instead.

Celia had no idea what had possessed her to do this -- as though she was qualified to tell anyone a damn thing about this island.

But she'd still dutifully donned her nametag and was peering around for someone wearing one that said 'Soren.' It was tricky, since she didn't know if that was a boy's name or a girl's, but she was still doing her best.

Alex put on her nametag and started to walk around, trying not to appear so awkward as she scanned over the different nametags to find the person who was going to be her sibling.

Sia had signed up for this before she knew how terrible her week was going to be, but she was doing her absolute best to put all that past her... at least until she met this Nathan person. As much as she hated the nametags, she even put one on, and even added a pronunciation of her name because she knew how that went by now.

Daphne was very cheerful as she wandered the picnic. She was enjoying being social with everyone, but she was really looking for someone that had a name tag with the name of "Andros" on it. She'd never been a big sibling to anyone before and was really looking forward to the experience.

Meet Your Roommate [Summer 2014]

[bigdamnprincipal]

Current students who had been assigned new rooms and/or roommates had been handwavily informed of the change, but the list had been posted for everyone to see at one of the tables:

304 - Kaylin Neya & Elsa of Arendelle
310 - Alex Mack & Kira Yukimura
322 - Rapunzel & Anders
410 - Andros & Ichabod Crane
418 - Soren Bearstar & Nathan Byrn
422 - Eleanor Lamb & Toby Logan
501 - Cecil Palmer & Tobias Eaton
512 - Barry Ween & Edward Kenway
520 - Jalian d'Arsenette y ken Selvren & Felicity Smoak

Barry glanced at the list and saw his name listed there with Edwards's in between taking readings on his tablet.

"Yo! Edward!" He shouted out. "Where the fuck are you?"

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Summer 2014]

[notamascot]

Elsa of Arendelle? Sounded like someone way too important to want to have Kaylin around. And sharing a room? Well, at least it was a room and she didn't have to fend for herself on the streets.

She looked around at the nametag for this Elsa, glad she'd learned how to read enough to get by.


[Ooc: I have a movie date with my niece this am and then a matinee and an evening show so I'll be sketchy and in and out, sorry.]

Felicity...was not even going to try to pronounce that name. She was just gonna wander around and look at name tags until she found a Jalian.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Summer 2014]

[nolizardhere]

Huh, so Andros had a roommate, and he looked to be from somewhere they used surnames, which wasn't uncommon. What was concerning was, "What kind of a name is Ichabod?" he muttered to himself. He'd probably butchered the pronunciation, too.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Summer 2014]

[not_every_mage]

Anders had lived with roommates since he was sent to the Circle, and he wasn't surprised school was the same. As long as Rapunzel wasn't a thief or a hoarder, he anticipated this would be absolutely fine.

"Rapunzel?" he read aloud, hoping he pronounced it right. (He did, or close enough.) "I'm your new roommate."

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Summer 2014]

[justwantedfriends]

Kira's eyes got a little wide as she looked over the list, and then started looking around. "Please be a girl, please be a girl," she said quietly.

Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2014]

[bigdamnprincipal]

Who hopefully haven't broken out the booze yet.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2014]

[endsthegame]

Ender didn't drink alcohol, and he didn't have any reasons to start - so no, he hadn't broken out the booze. In fact, he supported a faint smile and a relaxed expression that belied the fact he was keeping very close track of everyone at the picnic.

Happy Welcome Picnic Day!!!
