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!]

"I guess so." Nadia shrugged. "You get used to that sort of thing after awhile, though."

"Is he a Sirian? Only I thought they were all dead except for Cruger."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[nadiathesaint]

"I don't know what a Sirian is, but I don't think so. He's just a big guy in a blue tick outfit. With a purple dragon."

Because she might as well get all the girl's confusion over with now.

Z just kind of stared. "Are you for real?"

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia nodded. "Unfortunately, yes. Best advice you can get for this school is not to bother expecting the unexpected, because then it'll come up with something even more unexpected."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[multiplez]

"Oh," Z said kind of weakly. "I guess it's good training, then."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[nadiathesaint]

"It is, I guess." Nadia tilted her head. "If you don't mind my asking, training for what? Or just for life in general?"

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[multiplez]

"I'm going to be a Power Ranger. They're like law enforcement officers? But color-coded, and sometimes they rampage through downtown in really big robots."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia blinked. "Like, giant frogs and stuff? Those kinds of giant robots?" She smiled, remembering the dancing frog from when Marty was still twitching over prom. "Very cool."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[multiplez]

"I dunno. Maybe? The ones I've seen were like...helicopters and vans and things. Only big."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[nadiathesaint]

"Huh. Still cool. But not quite as cool. You should ask for a frog."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[multiplez]

"I'll find out if they do requests," Z promised. "You're right, a frog would be cooler."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[nadiathesaint]

"Great." Nadia looked around and shrugged. "So. Any questions so far?"

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[multiplez]

"What's the cafeteria food like and do you know anyone named 'Temperance Brennan'?"

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[nadiathesaint]

"Not bad, so don't listen to the rumors, and no, not yet. They must be new, too."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[multiplez]

"Darn. Oh, well, I guess I can commiserate with my roomie over learning the ropes, right?"

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[nadiathesaint]

"Definitely. And I'm willing to answer any questions you two might have. What room are you in?"

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[multiplez]

"317. I don't suppose there's an elevator?"

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[nadiathesaint]

"There is, don't worry." Nadia shrugged. "If there weren't, I'd be out of luck. I'm on the fifth floor."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[multiplez]

"Oh, ugh, I can only imagine hauling my stuff up that many stairs."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[nadiathesaint]

"Well, I didn't have much stuff when I got here, but, yeah. After a long night, it's nice to have an elevator."
