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!]

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

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

"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.

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.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[gavegoodface]

But did Mara's have "Badass Mother" written on the handle?

"I can see that," Face said, striking a pose and making lightsaber noises.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[giveherahand]

Not yet?

"Have you used one in a holo?" Mara asked, fighting her instinct to correct his invisible lightsaber stance.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[gavegoodface]

Face shook his head. "I was up for a role as an apprentice who realised the error of the Jedi's ways and died tragically defending the Emperor from his master." Win or Die, now with lightsabers, basically. "But that fell through." Because he'd had to fake his death.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[giveherahand]

"Oh, that's a shame," Mara said. "It sounds really good."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[gavegoodface]

That was one way of describing it. "I'm sure it would have been a fine example of Imperial holo-making," was another.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2014]

[giveherahand]

"They all are," Mara said loyally.
