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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Were you a veteran Fandom resident? Did you finish getting your brain broken by your sibling and/or buddy? Did you just want to sit down to recover from the shuttle ride? If so, then there were plenty of tables and chairs set up across the lawn just waiting to be filled!

[This is the picnic post for general mingling. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

Mara made a face. "We got here via a vehicle with wheels. I though Dantooine was primitive."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[gavegoodface]

"Wheels?" Now that was just wrong. "Next you'll be telling me the library is full of printed books."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[giveherahand]

"We should check," Mara said. "Have you seen all the stairs?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[gavegoodface]

"I have. It's like they've never even heard of repulsors." That's because they hadn't, Face. And you've used plenty of stairs on Lorrd.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[giveherahand]

"Well, maybe they'll all be blown away by our brilliance," Mara said.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[gavegoodface]

"Oh, that'll happen anyway," Face said airily. "We'll just seem even more clever by comparison."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[giveherahand]

"You're remarkable self-assured," Mara teased. "What classes are you in?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[gavegoodface]

"Let me think,. The mercenary class, the hostile environment one, Terrain and You, and Creative Writing," Face said, listing them off on his fingers. "And some online classes that sounded close to Lorrdian subjects as well. You?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[giveherahand]

Mara looked pleased. "We have two in common! The mercenary class and the hostile environment one. I'm also taking something about destiny and whatever they send me from home."

And spycraft, but she could hardly admit to that, right?

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[gavegoodface]

Well, it was doubtful how much she'd actually learn about spying in that class...

"Putting that all together your destiny is to become a dashing and capable space pirate," Face said, grinning. "Or maybe mine is."

Well, he was kind of right in his case. Kind of.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[giveherahand]

Well, someone would have to keep Talon Karrde in line eventually...

Mara laughed. "I hadn't really given it much thought."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[gavegoodface]

It was a good thing she had Face to practice on then.

"That's no good," Face said. "We need to start preparing if we're going to be space pirates."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[giveherahand]

"Are pirates all that prepared?" Mara wondered.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[gavegoodface]

"Probably not," Face said after a moment's thought. "But that just means we'll be better than the rest of the pirates."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[giveherahand]

"Not terribly difficult, from what I've heard about pirates," Mara said. "...which isn't a lot," she tacked on.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[gavegoodface]

Huh, Face wasn't expecting those ellipses.

"Don't worry I've watched tons of pirate holos," Face said. "Those are always completely accurate."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[giveherahand]

Mara laughed. "I've heard they're practically documentaries."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[gavegoodface]

Face nodded. "Documentaries that end in one on one vibrosword duels."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[giveherahand]

"Well, of course," Mara said. "Why use blasters when you could use something some much less efficient?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[gavegoodface]

"Who cares about efficiency when you can look impressive?" Not actually Face's life motto, but it helped if people thought it was.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[giveherahand]

"And that's why we don't have any more Jedi," Mara said dryly. "Plus the whole 'traitors to the Empire' part, of course."

She was one of those people, Face. Sorry.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[gavegoodface]

At least he'd found out before he said something seditious? Well, it wasn't like he'd known how bad the Empire was until relatively recently.

"Yes, that," he said, nodding. "That was terrible of them."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[giveherahand]

Yeah, she was a good decade or so from figuring that out for herself. What a shame.

"Well, it's better now, even if the lightsabers were pretty iconic."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[gavegoodface]

Face wasn't so sure about 'better', but he had just enough good sense not to argue about it right this minute. "What colour lightsaber would you have picked?" he asked instead. "I think green would've set off my eyes."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[giveherahand]

"Violet," Mara said immediately (because her lightsaber was violet...). "I like to be original."

Like Mace Windu.
