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!]

"Well, you can't say that you were never warned," Elizabeth nodded. "But anyway. Fandom High's not all about the gremlins at least."

"No, it's evidently also about pretty girls," he said, blushing slightly. "OR so I'm discovering."

So smooth, that Greg.

"There are a number of them, yes," Elizabeth said, grinning at the blushing.

"Many more than in LA," he noted. "Or, well, the girls there were nice to look at, but I'm not really into the whole over-tanned look."

"You're from LA? That's pretty cool," Elizabeth said. She grinned. "I think it's the East Coast thing we've got going."

Greg nodded. "San Gabriel, actually, which isn't Los Angeles proper but close enough to fudge for the out-of-state people. And yeah, never been to the East Coast before. It's all kinda new."

"Yeah, I get that," Elizabeth said. "Wouldn't know San Gabriel. I've not really been to California, although I was looking at Berkeley a while back. I'm East Coast born and bred myself."

"I'm looking into Stanford, so if my mom hadn't suddenly gotten all gung-ho about my going to summer camp, I probably wouldn't have left the state until my twenties," Greg said thoughtfully.

"That's a good thing," Elizabeth nodded. "There's a lot more to see to the world than California."
