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

[bigdamndean]

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

[bigdamndean]

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

"Um, well, er." Ringo didn't know what to say about that. "Maybe they need to combine people so there's enough rooms for everyone?"

"But the dorms are like half empty!" Xanthippe replied, back to pretty serious exasperation. "I'm gonna complain to the administration."

She was going to take one look at the moose and give up. Just, for the record.

"Oh. Um. Okay."

Ringo wasn't sure what to do with that.

"If, um, you need any help, let me know?" She wanted to be helpful, at least, even if they weren't going to end up as roommates?

Cassandra and Lucille had put in their request some time ago, of course, but she was still smiling as she read their names off.

It would be a good distraction from missing Garik, at least.

Lucille approached Cassandra, smiling. She knew her friend had had to say goodbye to someone close to her, and she would do her best to be a good and understanding friend.

"I have tidied our room," she said. Our room. Lucille felt excited.

"I am grateful," Cassandra said. Enough so that she could smile at Lucille, at least, in spite of her distraction. "I do not have much. Some clothes, my armor, my weapons..."

Lucille would have been surprised had Cassandra turned out to be one to accumulate things. "Then there will be plenty of space.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2016]

Cassandra nodded. "We should... after the picnic is finished, we can move it all, I think." A beat. "The sooner, the better."

It would be good to rid herself of the memories of what she and Garik had done in her room, also.

"We should," Lucille agreed. "I borrowed a few books from the library yesterday. Perhaps we could spend the evening reading?"

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2016]

[seeks_truth]

"That seems lovely," Cassandra said, smiling at her. "What did you find?"

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2016]

[crimson_sister]

"A new series of books, I think," Lucille said. "Two sisters seeking to get their ancestral home back and finding love and adventure on their journey. It might be interesting." Hopefully Cassandra would think the same.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2016]

Cassandra perked up. "That sounds wonderful," she enthused. "Do you have two copies of the first book? Or should we read to one another?"

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2016]

[crimson_sister]

"Only one, but reading it to one another would be a pleasant way to spend evenings when we have nothing else to do." Lucille could think of few ways she would rather spend an evening.

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2016]

[seeks_truth]

She nodded. "Then we should do that," Cassandra said. "We can pass the book around and take turns. And... perhaps we should set up a collection or some more shelves to keep more of them around."

Re: Meet Your Roommate [Fall 2016]

[crimson_sister]

Oh, we should!" That was a wonderful idea. "It would be like a very small library of our own."
