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

[bigdamnprincipal]

There were tables and chairs set up all around the lawn. Some were in the sun, where folks could work on their tan while they ate, and some were in the shade where folks could stay cool and non-crispy.

All of the tables had some blue and gold glitter scattered across them, because there was always enough to go around. This school certainly was blesesed in all the right ways.

[OCD is up! 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!]

After three months of undercover work in the Outer Rim, Mara was surprised to find how much she'd missed all kinds of different foods.

She piled her plate high with fresh fruit and glanced around for faces she didn't recognize, pausing every now and then to admire shirtless guys.

She wasn't made of stone.

"Mara?"

Look out, you were just as likely to get glittery, shirtless hugs as Cassandra was.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[giveherahand]

Mara's face lit up. "Face! Hi!"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[gavegoodface]

"I missed you over the summer," Face said, grinning broadly. "You missed aliens invading."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[giveherahand]

Mara moved in to give him a big hug. "Anyone we knew?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[gavegoodface]

Face gladly returned the hug, because it was good to have someone around who understood just how creepy Isard was.

"Didn't recognise them," he said. "They were major jerks though, kidnapped a bunch of people and stuck them in sims."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[giveherahand]

Suuuuper creepy. So, so creepy.

"Ew," she said eloquently, wrinkling up her nose. "Did you save the day?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

"Much as I'd like to claim I did, I mostly served caf to the ones slicing the sims." Even though one of them hadn't even been a position to drink it...he'd been running on empty by then.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[giveherahand]

Mara grinned. "A worthy task. I'm not exactly the greatest slicer myself. Go with your strengths, right?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[gavegoodface]

"And mine involve looking pretty and serving caf."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[giveherahand]

"Well, I didn't want to be the one to say it," Mara teased. "What else did you do this summer?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[gavegoodface]

"Well, Cassandra."

Beat.

"I mean, Cassandra and me. That's kind of a thing now."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[giveherahand]

Mara was an amazing actress, though she'd never admit to it, because her smile was wide and genuine to hear that.

"Congratulations! I'm glad you're happy."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[gavegoodface]

"Thanks," Face said. "It's kind of weird, but nice, dating someone without Imperial PR setting it up."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[giveherahand]

"You mean those weren't real?" Mara's eyes went comically wide. "My whole world is crashing around me."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[gavegoodface]

"You didn't notice the messages I was sending with my clothing?" Face asked. "'Save me from this awkwardness!'"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[giveherahand]

Mara laughed. "I thought you just had terrible taste in shirts."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[gavegoodface]

That might have also been a factor.

"They were cunningly coded communiqués."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[giveherahand]

"And here I'd always thought those fans were just insane," Mara said. "I misjudged them so harshly."

She grinned. "Does that mean you also got Wynssa Starflare pregnant with triplets?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[gavegoodface]

"To be fair, none of them were very good at decoding the messages."

Face sighed dramatically. "Alas no, last I heard she was with some Imperial fighter jock."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[giveherahand]

"A Fel, right?" Mara said, frowning. "Maybe?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[gavegoodface]

"Something like that, a Corellian at least."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[giveherahand]

Mara wrinkled up her nose. "I don't think I could date a Corellian. They're so...scruffy and egotistical."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[gavegoodface]

Well, the good news was that she was likely to avoid such a terrible fate...

"But they're such good pilots." Face knew what he liked, and it was vaguely terrifying women and pilots.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[giveherahand]

Marrying someone from Tatooine. Ugh. Tatooine.

"True," Mara said. "Stand near one for thirty seconds and they'll tell you all about it. They have endless pilot euphemisms."
