Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part I

Jul 02, 2011 02:02

With all the rain the island had seen during the week, everyone had been hoping for a sudden turn to nice weather for the welcome picnic. But as the crew from the school started to set up for the picnic, the sky got darker and darker, and by the time everything was ready, it had started to steadily rain. As tempting as it was to move everything ( Read more... )

Meet Your Roommate [SS2 2011] bigdamndean July 2 2011, 06:03:51 UTC

The list of roommate assignments was located in a prime spot on one of the tables. Current students who had been assigned new rooms and/or roommates had been handwavily informed of the change.

Bart Allen.

What??

Re: Meet Your Roommate [SS2 2011] bigshoestofill July 4 2011, 06:27:43 UTC

One second, there was no one there, then Bart was peering over the list, brushing his hair out of his eyes. "Kenzi." He read her name slowly. "Huh, wasn't that the name of that girl who was..."

He looked up and saw her standing there. "Oh, yeah! You! Hi." He waved at her, more enthusiastically than he probably intended. "I guess we're going to be rooming together."

Re: Meet Your Roommate [SS2 2011] regretiz4suckas July 4 2011, 23:48:48 UTC

"I guess you're going to be sleeping in the closet," Kenzi said cordially.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [SS2 2011] bigshoestofill July 5 2011, 04:47:06 UTC

Bart didn't understand what he did wrong. Maybe this was some sort of humor he didn't understand. Maybe this was a strange custom from her home. Maybe...

"How big is the closet? Does it have a bed? How about a TV?"

Re: Meet Your Roommate [SS2 2011] regretiz4suckas July 5 2011, 06:18:17 UTC

Hunh. It occurred to Kenzi that she might actually get her roomie to sleep in the closet, if she played this right. "You know, I think a TV is a reasonable accommodation. Also, a mini-fridge, how do you feel about that?"

Take two it was.

Kate slapped a name tag on and perched on a nearby table to look out for some guy called Ryan. Maybe he'd hold out longer than her last roommate.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [SS2 2011] serial_quitter July 2 2011, 15:49:30 UTC

There was no guy named Ryan this time around. But there was a girl named Ryan who was looking around for her new roommate. She wasn't about to make any promises to stick around, either.

"Are you Kate?" she asked, spotting the nametag. "I'm Ryan. I guess we'll be rooming together?"

Re: Meet Your Roommate [SS2 2011] withasword July 2 2011, 16:02:52 UTC

Okay, not a guy. The name was misleading. It was really her own fault for jumping to conclusions based on a name alone.

"Assuming no other other Ryan Clark's... Looks like it." Kate offered a small smile, and spread her hands, "Don't you feel welcomed?" Mm, rain.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [SS2 2011] serial_quitter July 2 2011, 16:11:02 UTC

"At least it's not snow?" said Ryan. "It is sort of nice. I grew up in the rain forest of South America while my parents were helping the poor, so this is almost like being back there."

Re: Meet Your Roommate [SS2 2011] withasword July 2 2011, 16:19:42 UTC

Kate shrugged, filing away that little piece of information. "Give it a week, maybe there'll be a blizzard." It would not shock her at all. Weather was all whacked out in her world anyway.

"I've been here a few weeks, so... Picked my bed already. Sorry about that."

Re: Meet Your Roommate [SS2 2011] serial_quitter July 2 2011, 16:24:27 UTC

"Ooh, we actually get beds?" asked Ryan with a chuckle. "No problem. A few weeks ago I was sleeping on the floor of a mud hut in Kenya so having any bed will feel like paradise. Do we actually get pillows, too?"

Re: Meet Your Roommate [SS2 2011] withasword July 2 2011, 17:04:24 UTC

"And sheets and desks and all sorts." It was more space and furniture than Kate'd had in her entire life. Growing up on the move did get you used to sleeping anywhere you could. "I still find it easier sleeping on the floor." It was more familiar than anything else around here.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [SS2 2011] serial_quitter July 2 2011, 17:12:48 UTC

"Now it's starting to sound like a five-star hotel," said Ryan, nodding in approval. She certainly didn't get a desk when she was staying in a hospital room.

"Are there any problems with bugs on this island?" she asked. "Because I really do not like bugs at all. There were some horrible ones in the rain forest."

Re: Meet Your Roommate [SS2 2011] withasword July 2 2011, 17:26:19 UTC

"We had giant metal spiders the other week." Well she'd asked! "But they were more contraption than insect."

"And they were here less than twenty-four hours."

Re: Meet Your Roommate [SS2 2011] serial_quitter July 2 2011, 17:39:25 UTC

"Metal spiders? Seriously?" asked Ryan. She'd heard of pranks pulled on new kids and assumed that this was one of them.
