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!]

"I'm not wearing my armor. And they made me turn in my sword too which rather decreases my effectiveness. Knight, I am though."

There was a beat as Peter realised she wasn't speaking literally. He blushed bright red and lost most capacity for speech.

*cough* "You'd be a lovely cat!" Right, Peter, because that was a better topic. He coughed again, ears still red. "What other languages did you learn? Dryad?"

She smiled and put her hand on his shoulder, "good to know I'll be safe if the zombies come back, cos they let us have the weapons back then," she told him, more than a little impressed that he was knight.

"Well apparently Jiji thought so, he was my friend's cat, he hit on me when I was changed. As for other language, well there was rat, dragon, spider and crow, but we didn't get changed this semester, so I um didn't do quite so well, dragons hard." she told him possibly pouting slightly. "Dryads are wood spirits right?"

Grateful for her save, Peter smiled back and put his hand over hers for a moment. "I would bet, Lady Paige, that you can be your own protection. But if you ever are in need of mine, my sword and shield are at your service." He bowed slightly.

"I can imagine creature's languages would be nigh impossible without being able to utlize some replication of their mouths and speech organs. Certainly no blame could be attached to you." He might have been suppressing an 'aww' at the pout. "Dryads are wood spirits, yes. Some of the most incredibly beautiful - present company excepted - women I've seen. Well, them and mermaids. Dryads gather to dance with the fauns at high summer and other festivals.

She grinned and yay touching! "Well yeah I guess I can, pretty much, but in my experience guys like to feel like heros, but I guess if you're a knight you're already one of those, or is the term 'champion'?" she asked looking thoughtful for a moment.

Then Paige did something Paige does not do, she blushed, Peter was officially the most charming guy she'd met, and she'd once dated Geoff Chaucer, "I thought it was Nymphs that danced with fauns, are am I getting them confused with Satyrs? I lose track," she admited. "oh and you're not to shabby yourself,"

"I'm neither, really. Just a guy who ended up in a situation beyond his control. I had to save my brother, you see. And ended up a knight." He smiled sheepishly.

"In Narnia, nymphs live in wells, and the dryads dance with the fauns. I don't know if nymphs dance as well. Maybe with the merman out at sea?" He looked thoughtful.

"And now we have a mutual admiration society," Peter said mischieviously and winked. "But is it getting cold out here, shall I escort you inside?" He offered Paige his arm.

((Timezones are evil things! So much fun...the P's must talk again!)) Now with real HTML!

"Well saving your brother makes me a hero in my eyes," she told him, or course by that reckoning that would make her a heroine, but she hadn't really thought of that.

Paige looked slightly confused as she followed his logic, "I think maybe nymphs in my world are different to in yours, although I've only read about them."

"it is getting a little cold yeah," she said taking his arm "thank you kind sir,"

((yeah they really must I get the feeling she may be forced to be forward soon ;) *flees to bed*))

Peter escorted her to her dorm room leaving her with a bow at her doorstep.
