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

Amazingly enough, this part of the lawn looked pretty clear. For the moment, at least.

[Welcome to the third post, for more general chatting. This part of the picnic is going on at the same time as the previous two posts.

"I've never seen it happen," Jaina told him.

"Oh." Well, good. "I'm Lee."

"Jaina," she said. "Welcome to Fandom. Getting along okay?"

"Depends on what you mean by okay," Lee answered. "I'm still...in one piece."

"You'll be fine," she said. "The first... week or so will hurt your head. If you get through that, it's good from there on out."

"Got experience, I assume?"

"My grandfather and uncle are here from a different reality and they're both nearly my age," she said easily.

His eyes widened. "Yeah, I think you win. Wow."

"But I haven't run screaming," Jaina said. "So where are you from?"

"Place called Caprica," he answered. "Not anywhere near here. You?"

That sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember why at the moment. "Coruscant. Also nowhere near here. It's a slight culture shock." Because while Jaina had been to many many many planets, living on them was entirely different.

"Never heard of Coruscant," he said. "How long you been here?"

"Different galaxy, probably. I got here at the beginning of the summer, but I'll be staying on for fall," she said. "I guess I'm not a newbie anymore."

"Congratulations," Lee said, smiling. "Like it?"

"I do," she said. "The weirdness keeps things interesting and some of the people here are just great. And the classes are a big help."

"Big help in what?" Lee asked, curious if what John said was true.

"They're very specific to certain fields," she explained. "I'm here as a sort of training, so I can go to class and learn how to protect myself or blow things up or fight things."

"Guy I talked to earlier said something similar," Lee told her. "So, there's none of those boring subjects?"

"Depends on what you think is boring, I think," she shrugged.

"Right." He decided to hold judgment on that until actually going to a class. "What sort of training are you here for?"

Well, that had actually sort of changed since she first got here. "I'm a Jedi," she said. "Sort of a fighter and peacemaker where I come from. And I'm a pilot."

"Pilot?" He'd ask about the other things later. "What do you fly?"

"I can manage with just about anything you put in front of me, but mostly X-wings. They're starfighters."

"So, ship in space?" Lee asked, curious. "I fly Vipers."

"Mm hm," she nodded. "Haven't heard of Vipers yet."
