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

[stars_and_money]

It was a new year, and with the new year came the new spring term, and Fandom High was all set to welcome its new students, along with those just returning from holiday trips home. It was a familiar setting for the latter bunch: there was the requisite bonfire, with tables and chairs scattered around it, as well as the buffet table with moldable warm food and drinks.

And of course, name tags and lists of Big and Little Siblings as well as roommates. Yep, the weather was okay for early January, and Fandom was all ready to celebrate the start of a new term.

[OCD up! 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!]

Anakin tilted his head. "Bar fight?"

"I usually come out looking a little better after bar fights," Jono replied, turning a wry smile Anakin's way. "This bloke had bigger, pointier weapons than me, and we were on his home turf."

... Which, in fairness, could still suggest that he'd been in a bar fight.

"At the risk of asking the obvious, why fight him when he had the advantage?"

"Bad intel," Jono replied, frowning a little. "There were far more of us than there were of him, and we ran upon a bit of poor luck."

You know. A tiny bit. A little. A smidgen.

"And somebody had to."

"Well, most people deserve to be smacked at least some of the time," declared the ethics teacher. "Does he as least look worse than you do?"

"He looks dead," Jono intoned, looking and sounding grimly satisfied. "I was out and bleeding by that point, but I've been informed that th'bastard's been liquefied."

Very literally.

Anakin smiled wryly. "In that case, well done."

"Any job you can hobble away from..." Jono gave his shoulder a shrug. The one good shoulder, anyhow. "We did what we needed to do. Now I'm just out of commission for a while, I suppose. It was more or less worth it."

He got his people out. That's what had mattered the most.

Anakin's lips quirked up. "I've had a few of those days."

"Story of my life, it seems," Jono noted with a wry smile. "I'm looking forward to the semester starting and the worst I theoretically have to deal with being teenagers."
