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!]

"Yeah, that can be a pretty big difference. Or so I've heard," he added quickly. "But it could be worse. And I think the age difference gets better as you get older. At least I hope it does."

Dawn grinned. "Well, she let me leave the house on my own and come here, so she's definitely getting less overprotective. That has to be good, right?"

"Yeah, that's great! I'm still surprised my dad left us here. I mean, he's spent a lot of time teaching us to be independent and all, but he's been a little clingy lately. I didn't know if he was going to get over it." Sam smiled. "I'm glad your sister let you come here. 'Cause otherwise I wouldn't have a roommate," he added in what was possibly the most unsuave manner ever.

"Is there a reason he's been clingy?" Dawn smiled and slid a hunk of hair behind her ear. "And you would, it just wouldn't be me."

Sam thought for a second about the best way to phrase things. "Well, yeah. Dean...went missing for a little while," he said, adding quickly: "He doesn't like to talk about it though. My dad's been keeping us close ever since. He sort of blamed himself for the whole thing." Sam was pretty sure his dad had blamed him for losing Dean too, but he didn't like admitting that.

"Oh, that's too bad," she said, thinking of the year Buffy had been...gone, "but it's good that he's let you out of his sight. I mean, what could happen at summer camp, right?"

She groaned. "And I'm sorry, I've just doomed us all. I need a magic phrase eraser."

Sam laughed. "I'll just pretend I didn't hear that, and you can pretend you didn't say it, and then everything will be fine."

She looked doubtfully at him. "Does that work?"

Re: Pick Up Room Assignments

[likethegun]

"We can hope so, and pray for the best. Sometimes that works."

Re: Pick Up Room Assignments

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Prayer. Right." She'd never tried that before, really. "So, we're really gonna be roommates, huh? I've lived with a bunch of girls, but never a boy. This should be interesting."

And maybe she should have stopped talking five minutes earlier. Dawn mentally facepalmed. Such a geek.

Re: Pick Up Room Assignments

[likethegun]

Sam totally didn't notice any geekiness. Because frankly, he was having the same thought.

"I've only ever lived with Dean and my dad, so I'm new at this too. But it can't be that different, right?" He might have sounded a little hopeful at that.

Dawn nodded. "Right. We'll be fine. No weirdness or anything, I'm sure. You think of me as your brother, and I'll think of you as my sister, and it'll be good."

Wait. No, that wasn't right...
