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.]

"I thought I'd surprise you," Anakin told her. Not a great attempt at humor, but he tried, at least. "Did it work?"

"Yep," she said, and nodded towards the datapad. "That doesn't."

Not that she could judge.

Anakin glanced at it, then back at her, and frowned. "Is this future knowledge stuff or are you just invoking big sister privilege to be a pain?"

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

[solo_sword]

"Neither," she assured him. "It's just not a surprise to see you working on stuff. Especially when I used to do the same thing."

Still did, really.

"We get it from Mom," Anakin told her with a halfhearted grin that quickly faded. "I'm really glad she's okay. She had a really close call with a voxyn."

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

That turned her way more serious. "I'm glad she's okay, too," she said. "So you're really getting into the voxyn now?"

"Yeah. One of them got Lusa," he answered, a flash of anger showing through before he tamped it down. "But we think we may have a pretty good shot at dealing with them as a threat."

Fifteen years and hearing about Lusa still hurt, in part because it occurred to Jaina how little she thought about that, with everything else that had happened.

Of course, she also had a growing bad feeling about all of this. "What are you thinking?"

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

That bad feeling would not be off the mark, no.

"That if we can find out where they're hiding the original voxyn, the one they're presumably cloning the others from," said Anakin, looking as determined and stubborn and reckless as he ever did, "and take it out, it ought to at least make things that much harder for them to come up with more."

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

[solo_sword]

This was really one of the worst feelings in the world.

"You're not wrong," she said, a little flatly.

"Can I tell Uncle Luke you said that?" Anakin wasn't really serious. Only about ten percent. "Because I'm sure I am, but I'm getting pretty sick of having to argue twice as hard to be taken as seriously as the older Jedi."

He noticed her tone of voice, but in the vein of that continued frustration misinterpreted it.

"I know what I'm doing, you know."

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

[solo_sword]

"On this one, no one really knows what they're doing," Jaina said honestly. "But to be fair, the older Jedi don't, either."

Anakin laughed, though not terribly humorously. "If it's all a shot in the dark, the odds don't really care how old anyone is. And I can see this through, I know it."
