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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Okay, admittedly, having a picnic at the beginning of January wasn't the best idea the school had ever come up with. Thankfully, the weather was sort of agreeable today - it wasn't too chilly, the sun was out, and there were still pretty pockets of unmelted snow on the lawn.

In the middle of the lawn, a bonfire had been set up for warmth and light--mostly the warmth--and the tables and chairs had been set out to mostly be in the sun. There was a long table with a variety of moddable warm foods, and there was the usual table of nametags and lists to help folks find their siblings and roommates. With everything set up, it was time to welcome the new folks!

[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!]

"Maybe it just isn't on there," Rey said. "I might be able to get to another planet and find a way back to Jakku."

She was in for a very long and confusing process that was sure to give Portalocity workers a headache.

"I, um, don't think so? Portalocity maintains a universal database? I think? Um, you could ask, though?"

"But, er, you might want to get settled in for at least a day or two? In case it takes time to get it ironed out?" Or didn't get ironed out at all?

"I don't know that I have that long." If she had to wait a day she probably wouldn't handle it well. "Is there anywhere I can go for this Portalocity?"

"Well, they have offices, but it might be easier to try calling them first?" Which probably wouldn't actually be helpful, but might be less confusing than trying to do anything in person?

"And you should at least get some food before trying to deal with them."

"I don't have any money," Rey said, which was probably dumb of her if she ended up having to steal some.

"Well, you're totally welcome to borrow my phone if you need to. And I can loan you some money if you need it for Portalocity." So that should take care of that, right?

"Thank you. You've been very helpful," Rey said. She wasn't entirely sure she trusted that, but whatever got her home, right?

"Now, want to grab some food real quick?" Ringo asked, wanting to make sure Rey ate.

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Spring 2016]

"Absolutely," Rey said. "Thank you again."

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Spring 2016]

"Of course." Ringo smiled easily. "As long as you're stuck here, feel free to come to me for anything, okay? I've had a number of people help me since I got here, so I kind of feel like it's my responsibility to help, too."
