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

[bigdamnprincipal]

There really was just no getting around the fact that it was cold outside today as Fandom welcomed its newest residents. Food? Check. Nametags and lists for people to look at for their siblings and roommates? Check. Bonfire? Definite check, it was hard to miss in the center of the lawn. Temperature away from the fire? Around 40F/5C.

At least there was a lot of warm food and chairs by the fire?

[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!]

Jughead had kind of hoped he could just slip back into his old room and continue living there on his own. Looking at the list, it seemed only half of that hope had come true.

But he could live with that. A room was a room, and just over this past fall, he'd had worse living conditions than sharing a dorm room with someone else. He scanned the crowd for a second, then spotted what looked like the right name tag.

"Hey," he said, ambling over. "You're Theron?"

He hoped he was pronouncing that... if not correctly, then at least not offensively badly.

"Yeah," Theron said, then squinted at the list again. "Jughead?"

"That's me," he said, before feeling compelled to add, "it's a nickname."

He was still surprised he didn't have to fight anyone at this school to get them to list him under it, rather than as Forsythe.

"Okay." Considering some of the names in Theron's family tree he wasn't inclined to judge.

"Okay," Jughead replied. Despite the fact that that was exactly what theron had just said, too.

Right, he hated socializing. That was the downside to shared living spaces. "So, uh, yeah, we're gonna be living together."

Theron wasn't great at socialising either, so, yay?

He nodded. "Looks like."

Boys, no.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Spring 2018]

Maybe this would all work out in their favor, somehow.

"Right. Okay then."

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Spring 2018]

[midichlorianfail]

"Great."

They could be the room of monosyllables.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Spring 2018]

[wiredweird]

"Yeah." A beat. "Okay, see you around, I guess."

He was just going to go, now.

Another nod. "All right."

They'd have only themselves to blame surprised by things like Theron's meditation habit.
