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!]

The blinking wasn't exactly decreasing. "I... kind of date him. He'll probably be happy to hear there's somebody else from SPD here. Granted he's pretty much happy to hear the sun rose again this morning and air is still made of oxygen."

Xander scratched his head. "Except...I didn't say 2012, I said fifteen years in the future. Which ok, 2012 is fifteen years in my future, but.. no, that doesn't work out either. Fifteen years in my future would be 2015."

"Oh, great. An optimist."

Z frowned. "But, I thought--Dean said it was 1997."

"Bridge? I dunno if he's exactly an optimist so much as he's just ... easily pleased." Xander grinned. "Clearly, since he's dating me."

Then the second bit caught up with him, and the blinky returned. "Dean Zordon told you it was 1997? Dude, now the administration are pranking the newbies? Not cool."

"So it's not 1997, it's 2000," she said, finishing the mental math. "Got it--Zordon? Zordon's here??"

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[soldtoarmenians]

"No, it's 2006 here. Um, now. And yeah, Zordon's our Dean of Students. Head in a tube guy?"

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

Z's brain officially hurts. "2006, huh? No, no, no, Zordon's dead. He died destroying evil. Even I know that."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[soldtoarmenians]

"Huh." Xander shrugged. "Maybe he's from when he was alive before he was dead? Or maybe he died but now he's undeadinated; that happens a lot in Fandom."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[multiplez]

"Buh?" Z said eloquently.

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[soldtoarmenians]

"There's a lot of dead people around here. Um, the vampire kind, and the used to be dead but are suddenly back kind, and... I guess there's the Zombie Band too."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[multiplez]

"This place...is very strange."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[soldtoarmenians]

"You have no idea." Xander grinned. "But that's kind of what I like about it."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[multiplez]

"Yeah," Z said with a slow, spreading smile. "Yeah, I think I'm going to like it here."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[soldtoarmenians]

"Glad to have you aboard." Xander smiled. "I'm Xander, by the way."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[multiplez]

"I'm Z. Did I say that before? If I didn't, well...I'm Z. Yeah."
