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

[bigdamndean]

Okay, so it wasn't exactly springtime in Fandom - heck, it wasn't even 2012 yet - but it was still time for the spring welcome picnic. Thankfully, the weather had taken a turn for the slightly warmer - it was sunny, and not terribly chilly as long as one kept their shirt on - but there was still a bonfire set up near the middle of the lawn, with

Topher had not signed up for this big sibling thing. He didn't want to be a big sibling.

So he scribbled "TOPHER" on a nametag and went about his business. If someone absolutely had to talk to him (probably expecting a Christopher), they could track him down.

But what if his little sibling was hot and slightly easy? That totally made it better, right?

Stacey had been going around looking at nametags, trying to find her big sibling, and there was this particular nametag. And she was trying not to judge too badly the hair attached to the person attached to this particular nametag.

"Hi," she said. "I think you're my big brother."

The hair was awesome, Stacey, don't lie.

"Lucky you," Topher said, which was just laughable, really. "I think you'll find this a very rewarding experience."

Spoilers: Nope. Nope, she would not.

"Well that's... something they should have put in the brochure," she said. "So what does a big brother do here?"

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Spring 2012]

"No clue." Topher flopped down into a chair at a nearby table, gesturing for Stacey to follow. "I guess I'm supposed to tell you about things?"

See how helpful he was?

Stacey followed away. She did that with boys, even boys with bad hair.

It was bad, Topher. It was.

"What kinds of things?"

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Spring 2012]

[dollpocalypse]

"Mm..." Huh. Where to start? "Well... we have a big siblings program here."

SHOCKER!

"I did kind of figure that." Maybe he was slow? Or messing with her.

"And... oh, yeah, sometimes weird stuff happens." He pointed off in the general direction of the new baby island. "That? New. This lawn? Bigger lately. And two weeks ago there were penguins."

Or maybe he'd just had a stroke.

"Um. What?" she asked eloquently.

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Spring 2012]

[dollpocalypse]

"Penguins. Flightless birds."

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Spring 2012]

[ihavediabetes]

"I know what a penguin is. Why did we have them?" Was there a zoo here?

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Spring 2012]

[dollpocalypse]

"Because everyone else is really lucky and I should never have gone to Naboo," Topher grumbled.

He really liked penguins, okay?

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Spring 2012]

[ihavediabetes]

"What's Naboo?" So confused. So, so confused.

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Spring 2012]

[dollpocalypse]

"Other planet," Topher shared helpfully. "It's near Erep."

Thank you, research skills.

Riiiight. "I'm pretty sure you're supposed to be taking this seriously," Stacey said.
