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

[bigdamnprincipal]

The benches in this section were a little further from the bonfire than the others. If people were sensible, they might want to keep all their clothes on over here, but Fandom, of course, has never been graced with an overabundance of sensible people.

[Please wait for OCD! OCD is up! This is the SECOND post for general mingling. Use this post if your browser can't handle the comment load of the first mingling post. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

Leia took a break to sit down at an empty bench. Her head was still spinning from meeting her future daughter and a supposedly dead Jedi knight.

"You're looking like I'm feeling," Jacob commented wryly, his attention on someone on the other side of the crowd.

"I'm 16 and I have a daughter going to school here, how about you?" Leia said with a tired smile, then did a double take as she saw Jacob was without a shirt. Hellllllllooooo.

"I ran into two girls who look exactly like my best friend and got flashed by one of them," he said and debated telling about the vampire. He figured she'd enough to worry about. "I think you win. Unless you already knew about the daughter, but I'm guessing not."

Ino had been right about the boys and shirtlessness. Leia barely registered his words before forcing her eyes back up. "I didn't," she confirmed, "but if I ran into girls who looked like my friend Winter, that would be unsettling, too."

At least he was distracted enough, or he'd be getting nervous at her. "Yeah, but a kid? That's worse than hugging the wrong person."

"Hopefully that will be the most surprising thing to happen to me here," Leia said. "But I have a feeling it won't be."

Oh no, it wouldn't.

"You're new," Mat observed. Observantly.

"Is it that obvious?" Leia said, but she smiled.

"I remember pretty girls," Mat said, "and I haven't seen you before. I'm Mat."

Re: More General Mingling [Spring 2010]

"Leia," she said. "And how many pretty girls have you used that line on so far today?"

Not that she was complaining.

"You're the first," Mat said, smiling. "Truly. It's a pleasure to meet you, Leia."

Hayley plopped down next to Leia.

"You look like you need a hug," she declared.

Re: More General Mingling [Spring 2010]

[likes_scoundrels]

"What makes you say that?" Leia said, eyeing the girl.

Re: More General Mingling [Spring 2010]

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Oh, well, you're new," Hayley said. "At least, I ain't ever seen you before. Which means this is your first day, which means people are telling you things you can't really believe."

Re: More General Mingling [Spring 2010]

[likes_scoundrels]

"That about covers my afternoon so far," Leia agreed.

Re: More General Mingling [Spring 2010]

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"I'm Hayley," she introduced herself. "And the hug offer stands, if ya want it."

Tahiri had finally decided she ought to at least take a look around the picnic in case anyone else from their galaxy showed up, and how sad was it that this was a regular enough occurrence that she felt she had to check?

And . . . oh, Sithspit, she'd recognize that Force presence anywhere.

". . . Leia?"

Was not supposed to be her age. At all.

"Please don't tell me you're my daughter, too," Leia said, looking at the wee blonde girl.

Re: More General Mingling [Spring 2010]

"No, I --" Tahiri trailed off, wincing. "There's really no easy way to explain what I am to you. Have you met Jaina or Ben yet?"

Re: More General Mingling [Spring 2010]

[likes_scoundrels]

"I've met Jaina," Leia said, then added, "And Anakin. They've told me a lot of things I've found hard to believe."

Re: More General Mingling [Spring 2010]

[weetuskenraider]

She was getting better about it, but hearing the name from Leia made Tahiri flinch ever so slightly. "I'm . . . friends with Jaina," she said carefully. "We grew up together, sort of. So I've known you for about half my life."

It was a technicality, since Jaina's classes at the Academy hadn't coincided all that much with hers and Anakin's when they were younger, and it hadn't been until they were older that they actually spent any time together, but there was no way she was broaching that other topic.

"Hello." Robin said, coming up to Leia. "I'm Robin. Would you like me to sing you a song?"

Re: More General Mingling [Spring 2010]

[likes_scoundrels]

To her credit, Leia didn't bat an eye at a talking felt frog. "If you'd like," she said politely, ever the diplomat.

Robin thought for a moment, and then began to play (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKm65xLpwIM).
