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!]

"Well, I was told the Brits did - but I have to assume the Yanks came in because there really can only be one miracle at Dunkirk in a war. And honestly, if you want to win a war, you can't have your miracles while you're running away. We'd been doing well in the naval area, but that was partly due to the Lend-Lease program and the fact that Germany's just not a naval power, so I would guess Hitler ended up splitting his attention more and maybe..." Peter coughed and stopped the flood of military analysis that was threatening to completely spill out. "My apologies, Lady Janet. I don't mean to start off by lecturing at you. I shall certainly find the owner of Aeropagitica - good lord that's a name! - and find a book or two to satisfy my curiosity."

"With people like you to ask questions of, I'm sure I will." He smiled bowed slightly. "I would so very much appreciate that."

"I always learned it as the allies winning--the British, the Americans, and the Russians," said Janet. "Mind you, I'm used to talks about military tactics. I have quite a few relatives in the armed forces."

"Also, you seem pretty adaptable." She glanced around. "Anyway, I have some errands I need to run. Meet me up at the clinic, maybe tomorrow?"

"I'm sure you're correct - it's just when I remember the situation, there weren't allies involved persay. I'll have to read up on the history." Peter said.

"Please, don't let me keep you. It was lovely to meet - I shall see you tomorrow then"
