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!]

"What?"

Uma was starting to wonder if maybe Breq had been telling the truth, because none of this made sense. "All the villains are locked away on the Isle of the Lost."

"... I'm sure they're not," Bobby said, shaking his head.

"...No, really, we are," Uma said, folding her arms. "Belle and Beast made sure of it. They went through, resurrected everyone, and shoved them all off to the isle."

It was canon, Bobby, canon.

Uma was talking to someone who'd been brought forward through time to live alongside his future self. So... what she was describing was not outside the realm of possibility, as far as Bobby was concerned.

Except...

"Okay, I know Hank's been all up in the magic stuff lately but I would have noticed if he'd figured out how to bring people back from the dead. And who's Belle?"

"Belle? The former High Queen of Auradon? Married to King Beast? Mother of King Ben?"

Her face was on a bunch of the money, not that much of that ever made its way to the Isle, either.

"Who's Hank?"

Yeah, that did not sound familiar to Bobby at all. So, he just countered with:

"Hank McCoy? Founding member of the X-Men? Codenamed the Beast?"

He was beginning to suspect they were from different realities, here. At least being an X-Man gave him some experience with that sort of thing?

Uma shook her head. "King Beast's real name is Adam," she said. "He got turned into the Beast because he was rude to an Enchantress, but Belle's love reversed the curse."

Uma had only heard of different realities from Breq and she wasn't entirely sure she believed it yet. On the other hand, this seemed like a very elaborate prank to play on one VK.

"IIiiiii think I know what's going on here!" The proverbial light bulb had finally turned on in Bobby's head.

"We're from different alternate realities!"

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Spring 2018]

"And that's just a thing that everybody here knows about?" Uma demanded.

She hadn't ever heard of the possibility! Was that something taught in Auradon? Did Yen Sid know about them?

Still sounded a lot more likely this was some kind of weird joke.

"I mean, it happens more often than you'd think," Bobby said with a shrug. "Especially if you're an X-Man. Like, at least once a year."
