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!]

"I guess that's one way to put it," Evan replied, blinking. "I'm not really here to babysit, though. More like point you in the right direction if you have any questions or you feel like you need any help settling in. The island can be sort of overwhelming to newcomers. Especially ones who didn't necessarily mean to end up here in the first place."

"You'll have your hands full there, then," Edward said, squinting about himself. "I can see about twenty-five things that need explaining from here. So how about you give me the basics, then?"

He had decided he was not in any rush to run away from full room, board and schooling as long as someone was stupid enough to give it to him. He was due something good.

"Okay, let's start with the simple stuff, then," Evan replied. "When and where are you from?"

Yes, he did make a point to put the 'when' first.

"That's a bit of an odd question, don't you think?" Edward said, but Evan had been kind enough so far he was willing to humor the strange lad. "It's 1709 and I've ambled here from Bristol. Swansea, before that."

Hence the accent.

Oh, wow. Edward was way out of the way, then.

"Yeah, it's a weird question," Evan allowed. "Let me be the first to properly welcome you to 2014, clear on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean? You're kind of in America now."

Surprise!

"You must have had some night, huh?"

He was only sort of teasing.

"Yes, and going by the way you mess with me now, you must be able to read it off my face," Edward muttered.

Evan just smiled a little at that. Edward would learn. It usually took people some time.

"Can I get you anything to help with that?"

"Nothing to do about this besides lay my head down and hope it passes," Edward said wryly. "Not an expert on hangovers then, I see. At least in something I've an advantage."

"I don't like losing control, so I don't drink," Evan replied with a shrug of his shoulders. "You should at least get some water or something. That should help."

"No-one's going to smack me 'round the ears for grabbing something off those tables, right?" Edward checked.

He'd probably still grab something if they were, he'd just be more careful about it.

"Nah," Evan replied, shaking his head. "That's what it's there for. And if we don't eat it, I have no idea where it'll actually go, so you might as well take all you want."

That was the easy answer!
