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!]

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?

Cosette would have stopped to see if she could help Dipper even if he hadn't been the little-sibling assignment she was looking for, given how confused he seemed to be about being here.

"Oh, good! I've been trying to find you," she said, hurrying up eagerly. There was a nametag with "Cosette" written on it, and a flower border drawn around the edges, pinned to her hat. "I'm Cosette. I've been assigned to you as a big sister of sorts -- they want to make sure the new students aren't too lost when they arrive, so they assign some of us to the job and that's what they call us . . . is everything all right? And why have you got a goat trying to eat your clothes?"

Apparently there was enough confusion to go around.

"Well, I just fell down a bottomless pit and got spat out here instead of back home. Then I end up here where they tell me that I'm a student even though I know my parents didn't sign me up here and that if I had any weapons I had to turn them in," Dipper said looking confused. "Has that ever happened before?"

He then looked down at Gompers and shooed him away. "Don't mind the goat. He gets into everything. "

"He seems like a nice goat," Cosette replied, waving a hand at Gompers. "Is he yours? Is he hungry? I'm sure we can find him something to eat that isn't your shirt. And yes, it's happened before, I believe. I knew I was coming here for school, but not everyone does, and not everyone meant to end up here, though you're the first I've heard of who fell down a bottomless pit to get here."

"I wouldn't call him mine so much as something that's follows me around and chews my clothes," Dipper said pushing the goat away. "And if we're not the only ones then I feel better. I guess."
