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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Some extra tables had been set up in the shade of the trees on the lawn, away from the buffet in spots where it might be less crowded and much quieter. Well, aside from the mariachi band, but at least their music was entertaining? They might even take requests!

[OCD is up, have at it! This is the FIRST post for general mingling. Please use this post first, if your browser can handle the comment load. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here and there's more room for mingling here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

..and that was Ben choking on an enchilada.

"Huh?"

Sia was beginning to think that maybe she should do some research into when exactly everything in the past... however many years since Ben's time happened.

"Have you not heard of them yet?"

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2012-1]

[momslilassassin]

"No," Ben said, coughing. "Well, other than a weird weekend where we woke up twenty something years in the future...do they break with the Order and serve Jag? Or something?"

His memory was hazy at best on that aspect.

"If you would like to stay with general things, you might not want to know," she said. She'd tell him if he wanted her to, but she wouldn't do so without permission.

"Good point," Ben admitted, running his hands through his hair. "You're okay, though? All of your limbs are still attached?"

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2012-1]

"I am, and they are," Sia assured him. "I've been very well protected."

Last in the line, last in the line...

Ben nodded, accepting that as pretty normal. "If you need a sparring partner, let me know, okay? I'm here until the end of the summer and self-defense and lightsaber moves can't have changed that much." He grinned. "And if they have, it's good to learn something new."

"I have little but free time," Sia told him with a little smile of appreciation, "and I will take all the help I can get."

"What classes are you taking?" Ben asked. "Hopefully you didn't get anyone too insane."

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2012-1]

[notconflicted]

"Surviving Life at Court, and the... teamwork self-defense class."

Saying she was in a class called 'Kicking Ass' did not feel right at all.

"Professor Lannister, right?" Ben said, "He's astral."

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2012-1]

Sia had probably never said 'astral' in her life.

"I will remember that. I have to admit, I am looking forward to seeing what I can learn from it," she said. Even if she was probably a bit more advanced than most students on the subject.

Well, it was horribly dated slang in her time. "I took his course on tactics the last semester," Ben said. "He's really smart."

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2012-1]

[notconflicted]

"He teaches tactics," she said, approving of this. "Coming here might not have been the worst thing after all."

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2012-1]

[momslilassassin]

"I really have no idea what classes students take when they aren't interested in strategy, self-defense, or running a galaxy," Ben admitted.

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2012-1]

[notconflicted]

"Which I suppose helps some of us rather than others..." It was fine for her, since she was one that it helped.

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2012-1]

[momslilassassin]

"I know I learned a lot," Ben said with an encouraging smile.

And now he wasn't really planning to go home again, so. Maybe not the best example.
