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

[bigdamnprincipal]

The forecasts had been calling for rain all week, so when it was time to get everything set up for the picnic and it was sunny and warm outside instead, well, that was hopefully a good sign of things to come.

There were tables set up all around the lawn of the school with blue and gold tableclothes and chairs, and the usual buffet of food (and ice cream!) was waiting for hungry folks to dig in. There was also a second table with nametags and lists to help the new people locate their siblings and roommates.

Once the food was ready and the tables were glittered, everything was set for a very pleasant picnic indeed.

[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 2017]

[bigdamnprincipal]

The new folks might be a little shaken from the shuttle, be kind.

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Summer 2017]

So, the shuttle had been kind of a wild ride. A weird ride. A... ride. Jughead hadn't been sure what to expect of this place to begin with, and getting here had done nothing to make him feel more prepared.

Still, he found himself vaguely relieved to find that at least whoever had been in charge of the name tags had been at the top of their game. No Forsythe Pendleton in sight. Just plain old Jughead. As much as the thought of literally labeling himself with anything was annoying, that was still a comfort.

So he slapped the nametag on, then took a look around. So. This was Fandom.

Oh, boy, nametags. Those were cool. Summer took a few seconds wrinkling her nose and making faces at them before she pasted her Summer Smith as best she could on her pink tank top and immediately felt like a total nerd. She wondered what might happen if she changed her with a marker or pretended to be someone else instead, but ultimately decided that was too much work and generally not worth it. Nothing wrong with being just plain old Summer Smith.

After the shuttle ride, June could handle a little thing like a nametag. She printed JUNE IPARIS in her neatest block lettering, applied it squarely to her tunic, and watched for whoever was supposed to explain this place to her.

She would have rather figured things out on her own, but it seemed easiest to just play along for now.

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Summer 2017]

[onefootoutthedoor]

The first thing Peebee did was to check over everything and make sure her full name hadn't snuck its way onto any records somehow.

The second thing was to grab a marker and a nametag that she promptly scrawled a large ??? on. Pfft. Why make that easy on anyone?

. . . okay, so she relented and wrote "Peebee" in tiny letters over the question marks, not immediately noticeable but legible if you took a few seconds to look. She was going to make people work for it. Sorry, big sibling!

That shuttle ride had been... something else. He kinda had an idea how Zack's first, unmorphed, ride in his Zord had been, now.

Looking around at that food spread, the welcome banner, and the... glitter... Jason was starting to get the feeling this wasn't the reform school that the Sheriff's Department thought it was. Which was just fine with him, really. Because his name appeared to be on the roster so as long as everyone concerned figured he was supposed to be here, he wasn't going to correct anyone.

Nametag firmly affixed, he went to go look for this 'Peridot' who was supposed to be his 'big sibling' or whatever.

Pinkie was totally ready to meet her very first school assigned little sib.

BEST DAY EVER!

She hoped her new little sib liked cupcakes. And balloons. And confetti. She may have gone overboard. . . . Nahhhh. There was no such thing!

Meet Your Roommate [Summer 2017]

[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:

204: Summer Smith, Shiemi Moriyama
302: Peebee, Jason Lee Scott
317: Jughead Jones, Pinkie Pie
413: June Iparis, Jyn Erso

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Summer 2017]

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer had been warming up to this place quite a bit from the shuttle, she had to admit that, but the revelation that she'd be saddled with a roommate definitely didn't settle well with her. The pleasure of having her own bedroom wasn't something she took for granted, but something that she cherished and appreciated and made certain wasn't spoiled by nosy little brothers. But if having to share a room with someone else was the worst thing that happened to her here, then she guessed she'd come out okay.

Now it was just a matter of not butchering her roommate's name and sounding like an idiot. She narrowed her eyes as she read, not necessarily realizing she was testing it outloud. "Shy-emi Moriyama? Shee-me? Shy-my?"

Yeah, she was killing it...

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Summer 2017]

[junebug1500]

"June and Jyn," June muttered to herself as she watched for her roommate. "Because that's never, ever going to be confusing."

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Summer 2017]

[thatsweirdright]

Ugh, roommates? Jason rolled his eyes. Then he got a good look at the name, and a small flicker of hope was kindled.

Maybe Trini was here too, and someone had just mangled her name as usual? Except, he hadn't seen her on that ride (to use the term extremely loosely) in, so probably not.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Summer 2017]

[sprinklesgoboom]

Pinkie didn't just get a whole new little sib, she got a whole new roommate!

Seriously, BEST. DAY. EVER!

She hoped her new roommate liked cupcakes. And balloons. And streamers. . . .

Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2017]

[bigdamnprincipal]

Look, it's some of the most responsible folks on the island! And Deadpool, whose sequel better be good.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2017]

[jedigrammarians]

Thanks to...complications with finding somewhere halfway safe to stash Rur-the-Dangerously-Unhinged, Aphra had missed the shuttle. Of course, when she'd gotten a look at this planet's main forms of transportation, that didn't seem so tragic.

She was starting to get a bad feeling about why this place hadn't been that thorough checking out her qualifications.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2017]

[whatisclocks]

Philomena didn't remember much about the trip here. She'd found this new game on her phone with exploding stars and Roger Moore's bum that she'd gotten all engrossed in.

In fact, she was still playing that game as she walked... directly into a tree. Warily, she stared up at the tree, and then past it.

"Don't remember there being a castle this way 'round the shops," she said. "'specially not a French one."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2017]

[electrocynic]

Jesus Christ, how many picnics did this one make for Electroclash? She didn't even want to know.

But she grabbed a drink (non-spiked so far, sadly) and found a spot where she could stand in her uniform and watch people. Judgily.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2017]

[sharp_man]

Hannibal rather enjoyed these picnics; it was a good time to people-watch. He was still bringing his own food and coffee, though.

As well as a small box of homemade pastries for the teacher he'd be guiding around, whom he hadn't met yet.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2017]

Didn't you know the rules about sequels?

"I make no promises. But Thanos-Cable might be cool."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2017]

[imafuturist]

Well, at least Tony appeared well put together. It was a finely honed skill. Also, he was keeping an eye out for anyone who he might know.

You know, considering Marvel and all. He didn't know that it was the other massive Disney property that was taking over now.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2017]

[magnusrushesin]

So, Magnus was there to find a wizard or some other way to get back home. And it felt kinda weird to be around the kids, so he was going to stand with the group of adults.

And the guy in the cool red costume.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2017]

Hera was enjoying the weather. She was a little less certain about this whole teaching thing, even if it didn't seem all that complicated.

But she was here, and she found her nametag and put it on.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2017]

[uncertain_dume]

If Kanan happened to look faintly exhilarated after driving the shuttle to the island... well, maybe he was. Maybe the combination of internal combustion vehicles, wheels, and screaming teenagers was a new favorite for him.

Or maybe he was just glad nobody had also tried to blow up the bus in the process. It was hard to tell. Either way, he was here, he had a plate with a hamburger on it (partly because his conversation with Summer had made him hungry), and he was leaning back against a picnic table observing the crowd.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2017]

[shiroi_tiger]

Nathan was looking surprisingly zen today as he settled in with a cup of tea at one of the picnic tables. He was pretty sure he didn't have any new students, but it was never a bad idea to familiarize oneself with the new faces all the same.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2017]

[myownface]

Yeah, this sort of thing was way easier to wrap his head around than the whole graduation thing last weekend, so Sparkle had decided to come to the picnic. You know, potentially to meet new people.

And not at all in order to smuggle picnic food into his bag.

Shut up. And don't look into Sparkle's backpack. He was supposed to look like a responsible teacher or some shit, now.

Psst - I have only just realised, this lady doesn't have a teaching mentor!
