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!]

Elizabeth spotted the camera and ducked.

She still hated being caught on film, damnit.

So of course Zack tracked the sudden movement with the camera.

The best place to not get caught by a camera? Behind the camera.

So Elizabeth did that, nodding at the boy. "Aspiring film maker?"

"Forensic anthropolgist, and engineer, actually," Zack said, trying not to focus on the fact that people were actually choosing to talk to him. "This is just a hobby."

"Two very differing subject matters there," Elizabeth said, grinning. "You should meet Dr. Jackson. He's an anthropologist, although he's more into the cultural side as far as I'm aware. I'm Elizabeth, by the way. Elizabeth Weir."

"Zack Addy," Zack introduced himself. "Dr Jackson...what journals has he been published in?"

Elizabeth looked up to the sky, as if for divine inspiration. "Uh, I actually have no idea. None of the ones I read, but then again, I don't read anthropology or archaeology journals," she said, grinning slightly. "He might be out later if I have the time, so you could ask him yourself, I guess. If not, Sam or Janet might know." She glanced around at the people. "Janet's the short redhead over there, and Sam's? Well, not here. Tall blonde."

Zack tightened his grip on the camera slightly at the thought of actually initating a conversation with a girl. "I'll have to talk to them later then."

Elizabeth noticed the tightened grip and grinned. She leant in slightly. "They're pretty harmless," she assured him.

Ignoring the fact that neither of them really were actually, but he didn't need to know that.
