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!]

Phoebe smiled. "No, San Francisco."

"Oh, so closer out near me." He tilted his head. "Did I hear something about a sister? More of you are here?"

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe nodded. "My older sister Piper graduated last night and my younger sister Paige also goes here, too." She smiled. "I have a lot of family here."

"Ah." Greg nodded. "I've got one sister back home, who goes to UCLA. She's the one who'll be busting me out if I don't like it here." He glanced around. "And I'm currently thinking that'll be unneccessary."

Pip grinned. "You say that now. You don't know half the shit that goes on around here."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe laughed. "Fandom is interesting place, Greg," she said. "You never know what you'll see or find here."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

"That's true of most places," he replied, only slightly confused.

Pip glanced at Phoebe. "Should we tell him, or just let him find out for himself?"

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe looked at Pip and thought about this. "Well, we were both surprised by some things... and I know I wouldn't have believed much of it had I been told beforehand... what do you think?"

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

"Nice try," Greg said languidly. "Scare the new kid, giggle at the poor guy wandering around in fear of creatures that live in the woods or whatever. Not that gullible, buddy. Sorry to disappoint."

Pip grinned rougishly. "You caught us. Such a shame, I had a nice story about teal deer, too."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe stared giggling. "Well, do us a favor, then, Greg? If someone asks you to join the Gremlin Bite Support group? Don't."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

"Right, and then I'll be sure not to look for Bigfoot, too," Greg promised, winking.

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

Phoebe looked at Pip and then grinned and shook her head.

"I don't think anyone has seen him yet, " she said. "However, the dean will let us know if anyone does." She looked at Greg. "How do you feel about demons?"

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"Same way I do about the boogeyman - if demons stay out of my way, they can totally crash in my closet or under my bed if needs be," he replied without skipping a beat.

"You're going to want to avoid the lockers also."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe looked at Pip and Pippi and then back at Greg.

The image of Cole hearing this caused her to start giggling. "Cole!" she said to her two friends.

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I thought he had a place to sleep. Unless you're mad at him? In which case under this guy's bed is as good a place as any."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe giggled some more.

"I'm not mad at him. Just if Cole were to hear that?"

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"He'd probably make a face like this..."

Pippi made a face (http://www.livejournal.com/userpic/39791171/8215034).

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

"Cole?" Greg finally asked. He looked at Phoebe. "Boyfriend?"

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"That's a good question." mused Pippi, "Yesterday, Blair was her boyfriend. I don't know if we're keeping that up still... So let's go with 'Yes, but don't tell anybody.'"

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"...this place is complicated."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

She clapped him, gently, on the shoulder.

"It's best if you keep that in mind from now on." she said smiling. "What floor are you on?"

"Third, with a guy named Peter," Greg said thoughtfully.
