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!]

"We have a ghost that haunts the girl's loo on the second floor at Hogwarts. She's a rather sad individual. No one's given the same account of a Snorkack yet, but Father and I hope to catch a picture of one later this summer if ever when we go to Sweden."

"Well I haven't had any experience with ghosts." Tim admitted. "But I wouldn't think a ghost would be very happy. Isn't that what causes ghosts? He took a sip of his drink. "The Snorkack sounds like an elusive animal."

"I'm not entirely certain, though I have had a ghost as a professor." Luna shrugged.

"They are, quite! Some believe that they're related to the large and nearly invisible Demiguise (http://www.hp-lexicon.org/bestiary/bestiary_d.html#demiguise) hence the difficulty in find one and others contend that they're more like the Bicorn (http://www.hp-lexicon.org/bestiary/bestiary_b.html#bicorn), which might also explain why no one has reported seeing one in some time! This summer is an adventure in the making!" The fact that the later was thought to be keen on dinners of human flesh didn't impede Luna's excitement.

One corner of Tim's mouth turned up. "I've never heard of any of those. And here I thought I was up on the Fae info."

"Knowing that you don't know everything is half the battle."

"It does make it easier to find the info once you know you need it."
