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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Everyone might have been getting ready for the fall semester, but it was definitely still summertime in Fandom. The temperature was high, the wind was low, and it was only going to get hotter once everyone arrived.

There were chairs and tables set out around the lawn, some in shady spots and some out in the sun, and there was a long table of moddable food culminating in a table full of ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sorbet choices. There were also 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!]

"What?"

Yeah, guess who'd spotted the roommate list.

"I have to share? With some guy called Gary? He sounds, like, about forty."

They weren't trying to room her with some middle-aged perv, were they?

Which is why he went by Eggsy. That right there.

"The fuck do I even pronounce that name?"

"You?"

No, that wasn't an answer to his question. She'd get to that, once she was done looking at him in displeased shock.

"Oh my God. Tell me you're not Gary."

"Go by Eggsy," he replied, rolling his eyes with all the annoyance he could muster at the moment. "What kind of school has co-ed rooming?"

"Crappy ones in Maryland," Xanthippe said, managing to pack the kind of amount of loathing into 'Maryland' that was usually reserved for unidentifiable sticky things found on the bottom of your shoe. "This is –– totally unacceptable. I'm gonna complain to the administration."

"You do that," Eggsy said encouragingly. With only a little mockery in there. Tiny bit. Barely noticeable.

Honest.

"Maybe they'll give you the penthouse." Just as long as he got a room without her in it.

Xanthippe gave him another fake-sweet smile.

"Maybe they'll kick you out."

Xan, please stop being like this to the person who'll have the other key to where all your stuff is. Please stop.

"And why would they do that?"

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2015]

[sampippy]

"Well, you don't really sound like boarding school material."

What even was that accent, anyway?

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2015]

"Yeah, well here I am anyway," Eggsy replied. And he was going to stick with it just to give her the finger.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2015]

[sampippy]

Xanthippe rolled her eyes.

"Well, I'm not planning on staying very long, anyway."

Sure you weren't.

"Good. More room for me then."

They were going to be the very best of friends.

"Ugh."

She was just going to stomp off somewhere now to brood and text. Yes, beautiful friendship budding right here.
