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!]

"No, I'm not with the council. Ex-CIA, actually," Marty said with a small grin. "We actually have... or rather had a couple of students from Sunnydale in the last year. Two of them just graduated yesterday."

Willow tried to hide her look of worry. "Students from Sunnydale? Here?"

"Yeah but one of them is leaving for L.A. by the end of the week, I'm not sure what the other guy has planned. He'll probably want to hang out here this summer with his boyfriend," Marty commented. "There nice guys though. Well, one of them is a nice guy *now* but he was really nasty the first sememster."

Oh no. There was only one person Willow knew of who hung around high schools and matched that description.

Only problem was that technically she wasn't supposed to know about it.

She tried to figure out how to ask questions without giving the game away.

"Really?" she laughed. Not well. "How weird. What - what was his name anyway? Maybe I know him?"

"Angel. No last name. Kind of like 'Cher'. He used to go by 'Angelus' when he was all bad-ass. Now he owns a puppy and obsesses about his hair," Marty said looking to see if either person was around. "The other guy is Xander Harris."

"Angel's here?" Willow squeaked. "And - and Xander?" She didn't know which way to turn. "Where - are they here now? Is Angel - " she was about to reflexively ask "Evil again" but remembered what Marty had just told her. "Um - with Buffy?"

"I take it you know them?" Marty said wincing from the squeak. "Buffy and Angel weren't dating, though his current girlfriend is blonde and a warrior and wears a leather bikini. I guess he doesn't stray from a certain type."

"He's DATING?" Willow blurted out before she could stop herself.

"Yeah I know," Marty said rolling his eyes. "One moment of happiness and we're all juice boxes. We keep a pretty close eye on him though and his girlfriend seems to have no issues with staking him if he ever makes the big transition."

Willow put her head in her hands. She had to remind herself that she wasn't supposed to know about Angelus. Still...

"Say, if a girl wanted to say hi to good ol' Angel where might she find him?"

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

"Room 238. Also known as the center of the universe," Marty replied. "Everyone tends to congregate there for some reason."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

"Good to know," Willow said. "And Xander? Where's he?"

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"He was up on the fourth floor, though I've never been in his room actually," Marty replied. "His boyfriend lives on the second floor now. I think since he graduated he might be moving down to the first floor for the summer."

"Okay, so if I'm on five then I can find him - " Marty's words caught up with Willow. "His WHAT?"

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"Um.. Boyfriend?" Marty said taking a step back. "Really nice guy from the future. Wants to be a cop.

"Xander Harris," Willow said. "From Sunnydale. Loves Twinkies and can do the Snoopy dance?"

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

"From Sunnydale, loves twinkies and I'm not sure about the snoopy thing," Marty said looking across the room and then pointing. "There he is (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/870530.html?thread=40775042#t40775042). That's him right?"

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Yep, that's him," Willow confirmed. She plastered an innocent look on her face. "Will you excuse me for a second?"

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"Sure. Nice meeting you!"

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"You too!" Willow said. She went off to try to catch up with Xander in the crowd.
