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

[vaguelyretired.livejournal.com]

Although the summer had been record-breakingly hot, the weather outside today was actually kind of pleasant. There was a cool breeze blowing across the lawn, making the smells of the buffet wander, and hopefully enticing people to come over to the school and welcome all the new folks.

The blue and gold tables and chairs had been set out as usual, along with nametags and the lists of Big and Little Siblings, and rooms and roommates for the new students. Assuming the shuttle arrived with all of the students and teachers in one piece, everything was set for the picnic to begin!

[OCD is up, have at it! This is part one of the picnic, specifically for meeting siblings, roommates, and teachers. The rest of the picnic is happening here and here, in an effort to keep browsers from breaking for as long as possible. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

After a few days here, it probably wasn't a huge surprise to see Jaina at the picnic. She was smiling when she came over, greeting him with, "Hi there."

"Welcome back," Anakin said, giving her a tight hug.

"Thanks," she said, hugging him back just as tightly. "Have I missed anything?"

"So far I don't recognize any faces," he said, "and nothing seems to be on fire yet."

But there were dragons, so that might not stay true forever.

"Can't say I'm not relieved at either one of those things," Jaina said. Because she didn't put it past this place to throw her a tiny Jacen or something. "I thought I was done with these."

"At least the food's still good," Anakin said, "and you can try to pick out your students."

"I haven't looked at my roster yet," she admitted. "I've been too busy setting up. I'm sure I probably have Anakin, though."

"I think I do too," Anakin said. "That'll get confusing."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2012]

[solo_sword]

"That'll get interesting," Jaina said. "Considering his debates with Jacen..."

She'd almost want to sit in on that, but she didn't actually want to be reminded of those debates. She couldn't handle that just yet.

"You okay?" Anakin checked.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2012]

[solo_sword]

"Okay enough," she answered. "Today's a little better than yesterday, tomorrow'll probably be a little better than today... I'll be fine."

Anakin reached out to give her a sideways hug. "And if it's not, you can tell me."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2012]

[solo_sword]

"I know," she assured him. "I've been pretty good about that so far, haven't I?"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2012]

[sith_happened]

"Very," Anakin agreed. "Am I allowed to say I'm proud of you?"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2012]

[solo_sword]

She paused. "Yes, as long as it's the only time because then I might feel weird that I'm just learning how to do this," she said.

"Promise," he said, giving her another little hug.
