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

[bigdamnprincipal]

The island was still thankfully, blissfully normal, so fingers were crossed that the picnic would go off without a hitch.

The weather was pleasant enough - sunny, but not so hot that people would melt outside - and all the decorations had been safely pulled out of storage. There were tables and chairs set up with blue and yellow balloons, a table for all the information the new students would need, and enough food to probably feed two islands. It was time to welcome some new folks, everyone!

[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!]

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Fall 2019]

Perhaps Evie just merely needed to think...Bigger Sibling!

Sidon, for his part, as eager as ever to meet his new sibling as well as all the new students he possibly could, was considering them around the infrmation tables, wondering if he could spot out who could be Evie. So far, he had an excellent track record for tracking them down with alacrity, with the exception of the Kat Stratford/Mae Borowski mix-up, but he still felt that it was a mistake anyone could have made. There were so many of them, though, he almost didn't know where to start!

Naturally, though, he couldn't help being drawn in by the color of this one's hair, and that seemed as good a place to start as ever.

"Hello, there!" Sidon beamed as he approached her, throwing open his arm in a gesture of greeting. "And welcome to Fandom Island! I am Sidon!" Here, he pumped his fist eagerly across his chest, beaming down at her with a bright smile, so bright it sparkled perfectly at the end of his sharp teeth. "The Zora Prince! I don't suppose you happen to know where I might find someone by the name of Evie, do you?"

Yes, he'd seen the nametag by then.

He was still going to ask. It was just more fun that way!

He was very... tall.

Evie blinked and blinked again, and then she smiled. It was hard to not smile when he was being so nice and cheerful. She would ponder why he looked like a very tall sea creature in a bit.

"I... I'm Evie. I think you were the one that I was told to look for as you are my new Big Sibling? It's nice to meet you if you're the Sidon I am supposed to find? I don't know if there is another Sidon here?"

It wasn't unheard of for people to have the same first names -- or names that sounded the same.

"I'm honestly not sure how I got here or how everyone knows my name."

"If there was another Sidon here," Sidon mused with a chuckle, "then he'd be among the new students, and therefor not likely to be your Big Sibling, as that would defeat the whole point! So it must be me! Marvelous! It's so nice to meet you, Evie! If you need anything, anything at all, I'm here to help! And don't worry too much about about the certain oddities regarding your arrival here at Fandom; it's actually quite common for people to wind up here and not know exactly how or why. Sometimes, they even have difficulty managing to get home, but don't worry about that, either! Where there's a will, there is a way! My girlfriend--her name is Vette, if you have the chance to meet her, I highly recommend it, she is fantastic, and she's easy to find, you'll know it's her because she's entirely blue!--was whisked away to this island out of nowhere when she was exploring an ancient tomb for treasure, it's an incredible story, but for the longest time, she couldn't find her way back. Thankfully, due to the combined efforts of her, myself, and another good friend of ours named Nina -- you should also meet her, she is marvelous, you'll know her as an absolutely effervescant blonde with just the most unstoppable energy! -- we were able to figure out the problem and get her home, and now she can come and go just as much as she pleases! So the important thing is to just keep at it, and eventually, you will prevail!"

He flashed her another confident, beaming grin.

"Where are you coming from, anyway, Evie? I am from a land called Hyrule, myself; it's truly wonderful. Fandom Island is a magificent place in its own right, but there's no place quite like home!"
