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!]

Peter sighed with relief to hear that his country - well, the country of his birth as Narnia was, in all other senses, his country now - was still intact.

"To be honest, I wasn't quite sure. Um, time is measured a bit differently where I've been for the past few years." Peter grinned. "You're thinking me absolutely batty right now, aren't you?"

Shawn smiled hesitantly, "uh, yeah. A little, but don't worry, I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt for now." He keeps the fact he's had a similar experience to himself, the whole thing is all too familiar.

He shrugs, "at least you don't seem outwardly crazy, and I figure those are the ones to watch out for."

Peter laughed and bowed slightly in acknowledgement. "I greatly appreciate that! I've certainly heard that outwardly crazy are the strangest. So far I've heard of a psychotic vampire and her squid pet...which is the top of the the crazy list for me. You hear anything else that's nuts?"

"I.... well I hadn't heard either of those..." Shawn is starting to look like maybe he thinks Peter is one of the crazy ones, because while he knows that time travel is real, he's less sure about vampires. That just sounds a little too out there.

"You look exactly the same way I felt when I was told that. But a good lady named Janet who standing over there," he gestured to her, "told me that, and I'm almost certain she's completely sane!" He paused for a moment. "Unless she's pulling the leg of a new kid..."

"It may be a bit of new-guy hazing," Shawn suggested. "It sounds just a little too bizarre to be true." He glanced over at the apparent supplier of this news. "She doesn't look much like the type who would be making up stuff like that," he agreed.

"Let's just go with that for now...It's really better than the alternative." Peter made a face.
