Welcome Party for the Summer Students and Staff

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!]

Special was not the first word that popped into Gwynn's mind about this placed. Bewitched and ensorcelled were actually the first two things she thought of.

"I am pretty sure Robin Hood was not aware of this." she finally said. Something he said caught her attention. "You are out of your time as well?"

"Robin Hood?" Not the Robin Hood, surely. Well, it was Fandom, so she probably did mean that one.

"Um. Yes. I'm from London, 1944."

Gwynn nodded. "Robin Hood, hero of the people, champion of the late King Richard. My father." she sighed. "And in serious need of someone to teach him about being a father."

She cocked her head at him. "London? Then you know where I'm from... sorta.'

"You're from London as well? Or just from the area?" His history was not quite up to snuff on the late 12th century.

"About a day's ride from London in Sherwood forest."

"I'm sure things are quite different there in my time, but at least we have an island in common. Two islands if you count this one." Looking around, he spotted Nadia and her plea for help (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/870530.html?thread=40525186#t40525186). "I need to be going, Gwynn. It was a pleasure meeting you. I live in room 303 if you ever need any help."

"Thank you Walter," she said with a smile and then looked back down at her room assignment again.
