Welcome Party for the Summer Students and Staff

[bigdamnprincipal]

Despite the slightly overcast sky, the weather is still good for welcoming all of the new arrivals for the Fandom High summer session. The graduation decorations (and gremlin debris) have been cleared from the front lawn, and replaced with tables of information packets, food, and drinks. A series of signs point the students to the information table first, where they can pick up their room assignments from the office drones, and then continue on to the food tables to mingle.

And no, there are no inflatable gremlins around today. It's far too early to start scaring the new folks. That's what the mingling section is for!

[OOC: All right folks, have at it!]

Dawn smiled at the tall, cute boy. Maybe camp wouldn't be so bad. "Hi."

Okay, pretty girl. Sam could totally talk to the pretty girl. "Did you just, um, say something about Sam Winchester?"

Dawn checked her paperwork again. "Uh huh. That's my roommate's name. Do you know her?"

Re: Pick Up Room Assignments

Sam flips through his papers a little more frantically than he should, and reads his room assignment.

"Uh, I do actually." He gives her a little wave. "Hi, I'm Sam. Are you Dawn?"

"Uh...huh." Dawn was trying not to flail. "Can that be right? Putting teenage people of opposite sexes in a room together without adult supervision? I thought schools and adults frowned on that kind of thing?"

In her head, she was already composing the thank you e-mail to Buffy.

Dean looked around and saw that Sammy had a handful of papers so it looked like he was successful in getting their room assignments.

It also looked like he was successful in getting something else; Sammy was talking to a tall pretty brunette. Dean grinned. Looks like his little brother was wasting no time.

Still he needed his own papers or he was just going to end up standing here like a idiot. So he headed over to interrupt.

After all, Sammy needed to learn the act of recovery too.

"Hey dude, you got the stuff?" He turned to the girl and gave her his best Winchester smile. "Hi, I'm Dean. The little brother isn't bothering you is he?"

"Little..." Wow, two of them? She was going to owe Buffy forever for this. "No, not at all." Dawn grinned and offered her hand, beginning to see the humor in the situation. "Dawn Summers. According to my completely official and non-forged paperwork, I'm your brother's roommate for the summer."

Re: Pick Up Room Assignments

Sam seriously hoped Dawn wouldn't mind the uncontrollable grin he was giving Dean. "She's my roommate," he repeated, handing Dean his papers.

Re: Pick Up Room Assignments

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Really?" Dean grinned. He had sorta assumed he'd be rooming with his brother, but really, if the school is giving them pretty girls to room with instead who was he to argue?

"I gotta tell ya, Sammy, looks like you won the roommate lottery." He looked through his own papers and frowned. "What's a Cedric?"

Re: Pick Up Room Assignments

[likethegun]

"I assume that's a name," Sam replied. He thought he would be rooming with Dean as well, but really, he wasn't stupid enough to complain about having to stay with Dawn. She didn't appear to be crazy, so far.

Re: Pick Up Room Assignments

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Somehow I don't think it's a name attached to anything as pretty as your roommate," Dean replied glumly, though he rallied to shoot a smile at Dawn.

Re: Pick Up Room Assignments

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn smiled at them, blushing a little. She really wasn't used to all the attention. "Thank you. That's very nice of you."

Now probably wasn't the time to tell them that Cedric was Celtic for Chief. Because that would be dorky.

Re: Pick Up Room Assignments

[likethegun]

"Probably not as pretty, no," Sam agreed, because he'd be damned if he was letting Dean shower all the attention on Dawn. "But you never know. He could be a really pretty guy. That might be right up your alley." That's what Dean gets for that "little" comment.

Re: Pick Up Room Assignments

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Shut up," Dean told him, reaching up to cuff Sammy -- and being all grumpy again over the fact he had to reach up to do it.

Re: Pick Up Room Assignments

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Yup, definitely an older brother," Dawn decided as she watched them, then said to Sam, "my older sister has to reach up to smack the back of my head, too. She's little, but mighty."

Re: Pick Up Room Assignments

[likethegun]

"Does she complain about how you're taller than her? I get more than my fair share of that," Sam said, happy to commiserate.

Re: Pick Up Room Assignments

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"All. The. Time." Dawn rolled her eyes, sounding very put upon. "Like it's my fault she's a midget? Both our parents were tall. Which kind of gives credence to my 'adopted' theory, not that anyone cares. Er, and I'm babbling. Sorry. Dork equals me."

Re: Pick Up Room Assignments

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"A Cedric would be me." He'd been just about to head towards the food table when he'd heard his name called. "You would be Dean?"

Re: Pick Up Room Assignments

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah." Dean turned to look the guy over. Didn't look too bad, though he certainly wasn't a Dawn Summers. And he talked funny. Sammy had all the luck. "Winchester." He held out a hand. "Nice to meet you."

Re: Pick Up Room Assignments

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"You as well," Cedric replies, shaking Dean's hand. "You've just arrived, then?"

Re: Pick Up Room Assignments

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. Dad dropped off my brother Sammy," He nodded to where Sammy and Dawn were still talking a couple feet away, "about half an hour ago. Sounds like you came from a bit further away than Kansas."

Re: Pick Up Room Assignments

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"You would be right," Cedric replies. "England."

Looking over to where Dean nodded, Cedric asks, "Your brother is here? You and he didn't want to share a room?"

Re: Pick Up Room Assignments

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"We kinda thought we would be." Dean shrugged. "Guess Dad didn't specify when he signed us up. And I don't think Sammy wants to trade his new roommate for me now anyway. That's her there."

Re: Pick Up Room Assignments

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I can see why your brother would like to keep his roommate." Grinning, Cedric says, "And I imagine you were hoping for something similar?"

Re: Pick Up Room Assignments

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean grinned wryly. "Well yeah. No offense, Cedric, I'm sure you're a great guy, but..." He gestured toward Dawn, "...dude."
