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

Aug 27, 2016 03:44

It may have just been a coincidence that the weather was sunny now that Fandom was back home in Maryland, but no one was going to complain.

Okay, maybe they were going to complain a little since the sun meant it was in the high 90s 32C outside, but that just meant there was a good excuse for all the ice cream on the buffet table of picnic food ( Read more... )

Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2016] bigdamndean August 27 2016, 07:45:59 UTC

Current students who had been assigned new rooms and/or roommates had been handwavily informed of the change, but the list had been posted for everyone to see at one of the tables:

203: Faith Connors | Khadgar
204: Margaery Tyrell | Sheimi Moriyama
205: Kuzco | Rhys
212: Lucille Sharpe | Cassandra Pentaghast
310: Kira Yukimura | Negasonic Teenage Warhead
506: Ringo Noyamano | Xanthippe Voorhees

There'd been advance notice, so this shouldn't have been news to Xanthippe.

However, she'd missed the advance notice. So this was news to Xanthippe.

"What? A new roommate? No."

But tell us how you really feel, Xan.

Oh, a new roommate! Ringo was super-excited. Sure, she was going to miss Mayday, but she was glad that she wouldn't be spending the Fall alone.

Also, she felt like she'd met Xanthippe before, maybe? At least it was a name she was familiar with, even if she was having trouble putting a face to the name. So she was looking around eagerly at nametags.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2016] sampippy August 27 2016, 17:36:02 UTC

Too bad Xanthippe hadn't actually grabbed one.

She was also looking around trying to put a name and a face together. Or, glaring around, as it happened. Glaring like a glaring thing.

She was pretty sure they'd met, probably at one of the few parties...

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2016] soniaroadsqueen August 27 2016, 17:40:23 UTC

Ringo totally had her nametag on. Her name written in big letters, with the kanji form written slightly smaller underneath. It'd also be easy to see where her nametag was, since her red bikini top really didn't leave a lot of places to stick one.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2016] sampippy August 27 2016, 17:49:41 UTC

Well that definitely made it easier, even if it didn't make a great first impression on Xanthippe. (But then nothing would have. Both because of her personality, as well as her feelings on the matter at hand.

"You! Are you Ringo?"

Yes, she'd just read the nametag. Don't ask her why she felt the need to check.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2016] soniaroadsqueen August 27 2016, 17:52:06 UTC

"Yes?" Ringo's eyes immediately moved to find the other girl's nametag. So she might be looking for a bit, wondering if it was somewhere unusual.

The other girl was definitely familiar. Like, she'd seen her around, but couldn't put a name to the face.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2016] sampippy August 27 2016, 18:25:51 UTC

Xanthippe's face scrunched up in confusion. "What're you --" Oh, right. Name tag. "I'm Xanthippe! The list says I'm supposed to move in with you?"

It was pretty obvious she thought Ringo should tell her it was all a great big misunderstanding.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2016] soniaroadsqueen August 27 2016, 18:28:38 UTC

Ringo's face lit up. "Oh, right!" Funny how excited she looked about the prospect. "We're going to be roommates!"

Wasn't that awesome?

"Do you need any help moving your stuff?"

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2016] sampippy August 27 2016, 18:36:00 UTC

"I need help telling the administration there's no reason for me to be moving my stuff anywhere." So, maybe Xanthippe wasn't quite as enthusiastic. Who would've guessed? "I'm fine where I am!"

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2016] soniaroadsqueen August 27 2016, 18:40:51 UTC

"Huh?" Ringo looked surprised. "Oh, are you happy with your current roommate?" That was the only way that Xanthippe's reaction made sense to Ringo.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2016] sampippy August 27 2016, 19:16:13 UTC

"I'm happy with how he left," Xanthippe offered.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2016] soniaroadsqueen August 27 2016, 19:20:23 UTC

"What do you mean?" Ringo didn't understand. She didn't have a roommate? And wasn't excited about getting a new one?

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2016] sampippy August 27 2016, 19:28:32 UTC

"I mean," Xanthippe replied, exasperated, "that I want to keep living where I've been living, alone."

Yeeeah. Welcome to living with the spoiled rich chick, Ringo.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2016] soniaroadsqueen August 27 2016, 19:29:41 UTC

"Oh." Ringo looked a bit crestfallen.

"So you're not, um, looking forward to the move?"

As if that wasn't pretty obvious.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2016] sampippy August 27 2016, 20:00:26 UTC

"No, I'm not," Xanthippe replied, emphatically, almost looking grateful that they seemed to now be on the same page about this. (Also completely ignoring any sign of Ringo's feelings on the matter.) "I shouldn't have to be sharing in the first place."

She was probably going to realize how much of a jerk she was being here.

But it was not likely to be today.
