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

[momslilassassin]

There were plenty of tables and chairs scattered around the lawn for anyone who wanted to sit down once they'd had their fill of the buffet, or to recover from starting to find out what this place was all about. No one would judge the need to take a mental breather.

Some of the tables were out in the open, for those who weren't allergic to the sun, and some of the tables were in the shade, or far from the rest of the crowd for those who needed a little more space to process. Wherever people decided to rest, there was space enough for everyone.

[OOC: This is part two of the picnic, separated in an effort to save our browsers for as long as possible. Part one, to run into siblings, roommates and teachers, is over here, though teachers are also welcome in this post, of course. Because the picnic is outside, it is open to all students, teachers and townies.]

"So, how hopeless is this bunch? You can grade them on a scale of one to ten," Atton said, tossing himself down in the seat next to her without even bothering to ask if he could.

And she was completely used to this by now. "I don't see too many new faces, so it's hard to judge. They're probably not as hopeless when there aren't as many who have to learn about this place."

"You don't know," Atton said, taking a sip of his (unlabeled) water bottle. "Maybe one of them is so hopeless, he makes the rest of us look like geniuses."

Re: Mingle, Mingle, Mingle [Summer 2013 - II]

[notconflicted]

"Are you speculating, or hoping for that?" she asked.

Re: Mingle, Mingle, Mingle [Summer 2013 - II]

[suitably_heroic]

Atton thought about it for a few moments. "You know," he said finally, "I'm not completely sure which."

"At least you're honest about it," Sia said with a tiny smile. "Haven't met anyone yet?"

Re: Mingle, Mingle, Mingle [Summer 2013 - II]

[suitably_heroic]

"There's another one from our universe," Atton said casually, nodding towards Mira. "I met that one."

Re: Mingle, Mingle, Mingle [Summer 2013 - II]

[notconflicted]

"Any idea when she's from?" Sia asked, since she'd learned that that made a lot of difference to her.

Re: Mingle, Mingle, Mingle [Summer 2013 - II]

"My time," Atton said casually. "So that's going to be interesting."

Hopefully she wouldn't poke too many holes in Atton's story, because that would be a real pain in the rear diodes.

Re: Mingle, Mingle, Mingle [Summer 2013 - II]

[notconflicted]

Well, Sia could at least be relieved for herself. "If you don't know each other- or of each other- it gets less interesting," she assured him.

"At least now I've got someone to swap Nar Shaddaa war stories with," Atton said, shrugging lightly. "All of you lightsaber jockeys get real boring after a while."

Re: Mingle, Mingle, Mingle [Summer 2013 - II]

[notconflicted]

"I suppose I'll have to make it a point to be more interesting then," she said.

Re: Mingle, Mingle, Mingle [Summer 2013 - II]

"You could try giving me that look some more," Atton said. "You don't do that often enough."

Re: Mingle, Mingle, Mingle [Summer 2013 - II]

[notconflicted]

"There was a look?" she asked.

Re: Mingle, Mingle, Mingle [Summer 2013 - II]

[suitably_heroic]

"There's always a look," Atton said firmly.

Re: Mingle, Mingle, Mingle [Summer 2013 - II]

[notconflicted]

"And what look is this?" She was genuinely curious.

Re: Mingle, Mingle, Mingle [Summer 2013 - II]

[suitably_heroic]

"Your eyebrows kind of do this thing," Atton said, demonstrating. "And then your eyes do that thing, and then your nose sort of--"

It was a very distinctive Look.

Re: Mingle, Mingle, Mingle [Summer 2013 - II]

[notconflicted]

She tried to give him that look based on his demonstration. She had no idea if she was getting it right or not. Especially when she had no idea how to make her nose do a thing.

"...That's not it, but it's hilarious," Atton said.

Because it was. It really was.

Re: Mingle, Mingle, Mingle [Summer 2013 - II]

[notconflicted]

"I'm just repeating what you did," Sia told him.

Maybe.

Re: Mingle, Mingle, Mingle [Summer 2013 - II]

[suitably_heroic]

"That isn't remotely what I described," Atton retorted. "But hey, if you want to keep on deluding yourself..."

Re: Mingle, Mingle, Mingle [Summer 2013 - II]

[notconflicted]

"I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were watching your own face at the time," she said, not smiling at all really.

Re: Mingle, Mingle, Mingle [Summer 2013 - II]

[suitably_heroic]

"Oh, now you're taking cues from me?"

Atton's face was the picture of deadpan exasperated.

Re: Mingle, Mingle, Mingle [Summer 2013 - II]

[notconflicted]

"At the moment, yes."

She still had no idea what that look she gave was.

Re: Mingle, Mingle, Mingle [Summer 2013 - II]

[suitably_heroic]

"Next time I'm talking to you, I think I'm going to bring a mirror."

Because that wouldn't look stupid at all.
