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

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.]

"Part of what I really like about Nar Shaddaa is that I don't have to hear about that psychopath too often," Mira said, suggesting that she was not a fan of his work. "I'd appreciate it if we could keep the Nar Shaddaa spirit alive here."

"In terms of not talking about Revan. Not the murders. And theft. Kidnappings. Assorted other crime."

"Not even the bootlegging?" Atton asked. "Because that's just a rule I can't live with."

"I heard that there's a bar here that doesn't card. Why would you need to bootleg?" Mira checked.

"Because life is boring when you've only got two classes a week?" Atton tried.

"Atton Rand," Atton said casually. "I think you're the first person from my galaxy I've met around here who's... ever been to Nar Shaddaa."

Was from his time, rather. Damn, that was going to make things complicated.

"Been there. Lived there for a couple years." Old Republic math: A teenager who didn't want to be reminded of Revan and had been on Nar Shaddaa for a couple years. Why yes, she was a refugee of the previous war. "Long enough to make a place this quiet and, well, okay-smelling seem kind of weird."

"It's a better place to crash than the refugee quarter," Atton said easily. "Nobody's peeing on anything out in public here. It's been a nice change."

Of course, Atton wasn't actually a refugee, but the Sith Lord was in the details.

"I guess, but it's just not going to feel like home," Mira noted.

"Are you afraid you're going to miss all the rampant murder?" Atton asked. "Honest question."

"I'm afraid I'm going to miss collecting bounties on rampant murderers," Mira said.

"Eugh," Atton said - not unappreciatively, mind. "Bounty hunter?"

... Hopefully the Sith hadn't been too overly in your face about him.

"That's the sound I love to hear when people find out what I do," Mira said. "Does that mean I could make a few bucks turning you in to the local authorities?"

"No, but I'd like it if you people stopped turning in half my friends," Atton said smoothly, rolling his eyes. "It's like you don't have anything better to do."

"I hunt people down, get to see the looks on their face when they realize a teenage girl just beat them up, and then people give me credits for doing that. There isn't anything better to do," Mira argued.

"I could think of a few things," Atton argued. "Like grabbing drinks at the Entertainment Promenade and winning a few hands of pazaak."

"Well, sure, if you want to be boring," Mira scoffed. "But it's simple. If you don't want someone like me busting your friends, you either need to get them to angering people with money, or you need better friends."

"Spoken like a real Nar Shaddaa girl," Atton said. "I'll really put my back into that. Promise."

Well, this was going to be a pain. On the other hand-- it was nice to meet someone from his home universe who wasn't a lightsaber-waving stick-in-the-mud.

But ahahaha like he'd ever admit that.

"Cross your heart, hope to lose a hand of Pazaak?" Mira asked, putting on the sweetest, most hopeful tone she could manage. Which wasn't actually saying much.

"Swear it to whatever Force thing is big right now," Atton replied, patting his chest.

"Not that I know a ton about the Force, but that makes you sound like a true believer to me, and so I know your word is good," Mira said, giving a double thumbs up.
