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

[bigdamnprincipal]

The last picnic for new arrivals had involved a bonfire, but there was no need for artificial warmth today. The weather outside was sunny, and just breezy enough that no one would roast, hopefully. There were tables and chairs arranged around the lawn, along with a long table of food, drinks, and desserts for anyone who stopped by.

There were stacks of nametags for people to label themselves with, and lists to help folks find their siblings and roommates. With everything in order, it was time to welcome some new people!

[OCD is 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 2015]

[bigdamnprincipal]

Assuming everyone survived the shuttle, or their other respective trips here.

Lottie had just been starting to believe that she was wrong, and she actually had managed to go to some kind of American summer camp instead of a French exchange trip.

Then she'd caught sight of Fandom through the shuttle window.

This was the most French place she'd seen in ages.

So here she was, carefully sticking her "Charlotte" sticker to her jacket and muttering "je suis ananas" to herself for practice.

Raven was beginning to get pretty good at this whole big sister thing, she felt, so it was with some confidence that she stuck her name tag to her mimicked dress and scanned the new kids for someone who looked like a Jasper.

She was pondering what shape to use when it came time to prove Fandom's weirdness. She should go dramatic, this time. Maybe the five-headed dragon. That one was always fun, if a little bit dizzying.

Face had his nametag on and displayed prominently as he looked around for his little sib.

Ezra had pinned his nametag carefully onto the lapel of his suit – wouldn't want to damage the fabric – and was now looking around for a Jesse.

Who could be either a guy or a girl. Oh well, there weren't that many newbies around.

Edward was still in a brilliant state of mind. He'd managed to spell out his name perfectly on his nametag, it was a beautiful day, he'd been fed, and now he was looking for someone named...

Tali'Zorah?

Perhaps she was Italian?

Dipper was seriously confused. After being spat out of a pit into a forest that was NOT gravity falls and finding a school that he was apparently enrolled in without his knowledge he was now standing around with a name tag on his chest and a goat nibbling on his shirt.

How and why did the bottomless pit spit them out here? Were they stuck here? What about their friends and family back home? Was he going to fit in here? Could he pass himself off as cool?

It was everything he could do not to whip out his journal and start writing down his notations.

Dipper was used to weird things happening but this was different. Everything was different.

Was this what Bill was talking about?

Thorin had not arrived on any sort of shuttle. No, he had been on his way to Dale when he stumbled upon this strange city of men instead. Which would explain why he looked completely confused by the party happening and the fact that he caught sight of his name already neatly printed on a piece of parchment that seemed to have sap on the back.

And that was why he was cursing under his breath and trying to pull the 'name tag' off his fingers to no avail.

The sibling thing was a little weird to Cosima, but she figured having an extra person to show her around couldn't hurt. She filled out her nametag in neat block letters, added a doodle of an atom in the corner out of whimsy, and then stuck it to the front of her shirt and went to look for anybody who seemed like he might be a Cecil.

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Summer 2015]

It was hard to find someone when you didn't know what they looked like, but that didn't mean Rapunzel wasn't trying her best! She was up on her tiptoes, scanning the crowd for someone who looked like she might be an Ada.

Well. In between making sure no one stepped on her hair, anyway. They weren't quite equal priorities, but she couldn't very well help this Ada if someone got all tangled up in her hair, could she?

Anders had signed up for the sibling program, but the space across from his name on the list of pairings had been blank that morning. He wasn't sure if that meant the office moose had forgotten to fill it in or that he didn't have a sibling at all, but he decided to linger in the sibling area just in case anyhow. Maybe he was an emergency back-up in case someone couldn't fulfill their very serious sibling duties. Maybe a lot of things.

He wore a neat nametag, and he'd put on modern clothes -- t-shirt and jeans -- that morning. Other than the staff strapped to his back, he blended in perfectly.

Clarke looked very confused and possibly a little crazy due to her unwashed hair and dirt covered face and clothes. She had absolutely no idea what was going on and was more than a little surprised when she found a nametag with her name on it.

Maybe she hit her head or something.

Kira always liked the picnics, but it was even more exciting having someone specific to keep an eye out for. She'd written her name clearly on her tag, and drawn a little flower next to it. Hopefully, she'd come off as nice and friendly from the start.

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Summer 2015]

[rhymeswithtable.livejournal.com]

YES! Sibling program! That meant that Mabel's excursion into the unknown was going to come with a built-in friend! She'd grabbed a nametag for herself, and another one for her pig, Waddles, who she was carrying around in her arms, and now she was bouncing on her toes and looking around in excitement for somebody called...

Vider?

Huh. What nationality was a name like Vider?

Maybe they were from space! Space sibling! This place was already the best!

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Summer 2015]

[ultimatehottie.livejournal.com]

Some people looked for nametags. Some people walked around, guessing at the right person.

Johnny wrote "Eric Bittle" in the air above him. In fire. It didn't last very long each time, but whatever, he was trying to practice with his powers anyway. And it served as an easy intro into "This place is weird!"

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Summer 2015]

Ringo looked around, wondering how she'd know this 'big sibling' of hers. Actually, the fact that she'd been assigned one had surprised her, but she had to admit that the idea was pretty clever. Having a sort of guide, sort of mentor, sort of... well, first friend, maybe... That was neat!

She hoped that hers was nice!

Wait! She hoped that she made a good impression, too! Impressions were important, and she wanted to get things off on the right foot!

So despite the casual street clothes she was wearing, Ringo tried to stand up straight and keep her hands clasped loosely in front of her. You know, all proper. The anxious looking around partially spoiled the effect, though.

Meet Your Roommate [Summer 2015]

[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:

206: Thorin II & Blue Sargent
212: Ada Miller & Cosima Niehaus
216: Mabel Pines & Eric Bittle
402: Clarke Griffin & Vider Bearskin
506: Ringo Noyamano & Jasper Dent
520: Tali'Zorah nar Rayya & Jalian d'Arsennette y ken Selvren
522: Charlotte Grote & Dipper Pines

[If there are any room number errors, please leave an OOC comment, thank you!]

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Summer 2015]

[bestatmystery]

Lottie had not been prepared to share a room on this trip. Well, no, she was prepared to sleep on a cot tucked into the corner of some French girl's room and wish it was Mimi's. This seemed much more official than that. Also, far less supervised.

She wondered who this "Dipper" was. She hoped she was fun. And had an appreciation for purple Ratman pajamas.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Summer 2015]

[dwarvenswagger]

"What is this meant to be?" Thorin demanded of no one in particular.

His name tag had somehow migrated to the edge of his tunic. He hated that thing. Hated it so.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Summer 2015]

[traded4an-oz.livejournal.com]

Jesse was just going to stand here and stare at that name and try to figure out what language it was in. Because it either wasn't English....or he was way worse at English than he'd thought.

Kinda hoping for the first one.

In any case, he fixed his nametag (which read "JESSE" all helpfully) and looked around for someone who might look, you know, like an Alluka. Whatever that was.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Summer 2015]

[sciclone]

Cosima was actually pretty pleased when she saw her roommate assignment. Not that she'd gotten a lot of time to talk to Ada on the way to the island, but anybody whose opening gambit was to kick her ass at three-card monte seemed like she'd be a chill person to live with. She looked for Ada to tell her the good news.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Summer 2015]

As soon as he'd stepped foot on this island, his father's voice had kicked into high gear, positively gleeful about a new situation and new people that Jasper could perfect his craft against.

Wait, not his craft. No. I will never kill.

He took a breath and schooled his features while he glanced around for someone named Ringo something or other. He suddenly missed Howie really badly.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Summer 2015]

[rhymeswithtable.livejournal.com]

Mabel gasped aloud when she looked at the roommate listing.

"Eric?! Ohmygosh!"

A boy! She had to share a room with a boy! That wasn't Dipper!

"I wonder if he likes pigs?"

Waddles didn't seem half as concerned about this as she was.

Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2015]

[bigdamnprincipal]

Be nice and maybe they won't warp your mind too badly this summer!

RE: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2015]

[geniuswithasmartphone]

Considering the teachers Hardison knew best on the island were two thieves and a talking pony, he wasn't going too worried about warping anyone's mind. Besides, he had plenty of other things to worry about instead, including oh god oh god he was a teacher who let this happen? Who thought he should be responsible?

He hadn't even gone to college! ...Outside of a con.

But, you know, he was taking it easy, being chill, ready to socialize and impress and show everyone he was as cool as Eliot and Parker. Because he was. Really. He meant that.

Oh god.
