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!]

"It's not Sunnydale," Willow said. "I'm happy. I'm kinda doing the whole 'new beginning' thing." She tried to make air quotes even as she held on to all of her things.

"A new beginning?" Marie asked. Then she blushed. "I'm sorry," she apologized quickly. "I don't mean to pry."

"Prying is a-okay," Willow said. "I mean, about this. About stuff. About - " topic change, coming up! Sort of. "I had a boyfriend. It didn't go so well."

"Oh, I'm sorry," Marie said, still slightly embarrassed about prying. Way to make a good first impression on the person she was living with this summer. "I... have never had a boyfriend," she confessed.

"Not worth it," Willow said. "They break your heart into itty bitty pieces even after you love them in spite of the whole once a month problem but noooo some skanky whore with a microphone has to come along and - and ha ha! I'm babbling again aren't I? I do that."

Marie tried to follow Willow's babbling but got lost on the once a month problem thing. Wasn't that something the guys put up with from their girlfriends?

She shrugged and smiled. "That's okay," she said. "I'm kind of quiet, so it works out."

Willow smiled. "Sometimes I'm told I have too many thoughts."

"I don't think you can have too many thoughts," Marie said. She looked around at the sea of people and was grateful that she had found her roommate so easily and that she seemed so nice.

"I guess we should mingle with some other people," she suggested. "I'll see you upstairs later?"

"You bet!" Willow said. "509!"
