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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Everyone had been keeping a close eye on the weather, and gave a sigh of relief as it turned out to be a pretty decent day. Sure, it was still a little warm, but it wasn't humid, or raining something strange. You had to take your wins where you could get them around here.

As usual, there was a buffet of food awaiting the folks on the welcome shuttle, and blue and gold tables and chairs were set up across the lawn, most still covered in glitter from the last picnic. Sorry not! Happy picnic day!

[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!]

"The office... moose," Fjord echoed, reaching to clasp her hand in a firm handshake. "Right. And is the office moose the one I have to thank for this situation?"

Did he have to go throw down with some blue-collar megafauna?

Yes, yes he did!

"Most likely," she said, "though it ain't so much the moose that decided as it were the island and then the moose just had to put it into action. I got your nametag here and your class synopsis. You and your co-teacher are gonna have to figure out your exact syllabus though."

"My nametag," Fjord echoed. "And class synopsis. And co-teacher."

Seriously, this was all kind of above his head. It wasn't that he wasn't smart enough to follow - he was actually decently intelligent, if maybe not the wisest guy around. But there was a lot going on here, and he was still wrapping his head around a sky with a single moon.

"Okay... better let me have 'em, then."

"Well, I couldn't stuff your co-teacher in my pocket," she said, with a little laugh as she handed over the paperwork and his nametag. "Though he's a cutie."

Fjord took the paperwork first, eyeing it speculatively for a second. The nametag, he took in his other hand.

It promptly got stuck to his fingers.

...

"How to make friends and influence people," he read, trying idly to shake the nametag from where it was stuck under one of his claws. "With... Pastor Carter. A holy man?"

Don't laugh, Ino, don't laugh.

"That's what they tell me," Ino said, spreading her hands as she shrugged. "I ain't all caught up on the intricacies of different religions, but yeah, he's a holy man of some kind."

"Well, won't that be interestin'..."

Fjord wrinkled his nose, less because of the class, and more because the nametag was not cooperating. He tried to free his fingers of it by wiping it off onto his paperwork, which mostly just resulted in paperwork that was wearing a nametag.

... Right.

"I don't suppose you'd know how to locate this Pastor, would you?"

She couldn't help but laugh, though at least his question gave her a way to make it seem less like she was laughing at his trials with the nametag.

"He ought to be wearing all black, with a green scarf thing," she said helpfully. "And brownish blond hair. Probably looking terribly confused."

"Well, at least I'll be in good company in that regard," Fjord mused, frowning at the nametag and attempting to remove it from the paper without...

Nope. Now he was tearing the paper. He sighed. There, the nametag could stay.

"I'll admit to being mighty confused, myself."

"Most of us start off that way," Ino said, a bit more sympathetically than anything else she'd said. "You got any questions, feel free to ask them of me, or anyone else. I ain't teaching this semester, but I own a shop in town, that sells bath things, candles, stuff like that called Pick Your Poison."

Re: Meet Your Teachers! [Fall 2018]

[built_fjord_tough]

"Pick Your Poison," Fjord echoed. "Memorable name, I'll do my best to seek you out."

Not that he was in the market for any of those things. But the assist? Yeah. He'd take all the help he could get.

Re: Meet Your Teachers! [Fall 2018]

[intraspective]

She grinned up at him again.

"Just remember, you've got this," Ino said cheerfully.

Fjord looked back down at the paperwork in bemusement.

"I suppose if nothing else, there's no harm in trying..."
