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

[bigdamnprincipal]

And over here was another section of tables and chairs, still close to the food so no one accidentally starved while trying to avoid the masses.

"Traveling?" he asked curiously.

Donos nodded. "Only way to get here."

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Well, yes," he admitted. "How far was the trip, if you don't mind me asking? Where were you coming from?"

"Even with lightspeed, it still took a long time." Donos thought for a moment. "Our base's location is classified information still, but it took a few days to reach the 'Fandom High portal'. It was hard to get any sleep." Mostly because of brain not shutting off.

"...lightspeed?"

Yeah, you lost him about there.

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[talon-wraith.livejournal.com]

"Lightspeed. Hyperspace." Donos paused, then tried, "Starship travel at the speed of light?"

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

He shook his head.

"The only thing I fly is a broom," he admitted with a duck of his head.

"That's a little different than an X-wing," Donos agreed, smiling.

"I have sort of piloted a spaceship the once," he had to admit, "during a detention. But it was mostly Karal and we didn't do that well."

"You piloted...during a detention!?"

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Karal did it, really. I was the one who broke into ship."

Beat.

"We were being space pirates. Apparently it has something to do with leather trousers."

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

"How does being a space pirate have anything to do with leather trousers?" Myn asked, not sure if he wanted to know the answer.

"You'd have to ask Professor Vala, as I don't have the first idea."

No, really, he was as confused as you are.

"I'd have asked her, but someone convinced me to drink coffee and I was bouncing like a rubber ball after that."

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[talon-wraith.livejournal.com]

"We can just take her word on it and leave it at that?"

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Probably for the best," he agreed with a firm nod.

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[talon-wraith.livejournal.com]

"I'm Myn Donos," He said after a moment, realizing they'd never been introduced.

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He offered his hand.

"Liir Thropp. A pleasure."

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[talon-wraith.livejournal.com]

Myn shook it with a smile. "It's nice to meet you."

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"So you... come from the stars? From up there?" and he gestured to the sky, that held no visible stars right now.

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

"A very, very long way away," Donos said. "I don't even know if I'll be able to see my homeworld from here."

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"That sounds sort of troublesome," he said with a faint sigh. "Do you think you'll miss it?"

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[talon-wraith.livejournal.com]

"I don't know," Myn said honestly. "I won't know until it happens, really. Do you miss your home?"

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He couldn't answer fast enough.

"No, not really. But I know I had rather different circumstances than most."

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[talon-wraith.livejournal.com]

"Then this place is more of a haven, for you?"

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"A chance, I'll say," he admitted with a shrug of his shoulders. "One I certainly didn't have before. But I suppose it's different for everyone. Did you... choose to come here?"
