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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Back at home in Maryland, the weather was awful and raining and gross, just like it had been all week. Thankfully, Fandom's current locale was providing the island with much nicer weather to welcome the new students. It was warm, and sunny, and just about everything the administration could ask for on picnic day.

The tables and chairs had been dragged out and set up around the lawn, and there was the usual buffet table of delectable foods, along with the table of nametags and lists to help folks find their siblings and roommates. With everything set up, it was time to welcome the new folks!

[OCD is up! This is part one of the picnic, specifically for meeting siblings, roommates, and teachers. The rest of the picnic is happening here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"If I was a lousy pilot there'd be a new crater in the island," Ahsoka said dryly.

Peridot... was not going to mention the new crater by the beach. The tide would wash it away soon enough, most likely, and she could pretend she hadn't just fled from there half-expecting to run into a hostile Gem renegade around every corner.

"So... how did you crash, then?"

"My ship's heap of salvage held together with hope and space tape." It was a matter of when, not if something gave out.

"Ah," Peridot replied. "So it was a gamble to be flying it at all."

Sorry, ship. Peridot was judging you.

"Is there any hope of repairing it?"

Beggars couldn't be choosers and neither could ex-Padawans in the Empire.

"We'll have to wait and see, if I'm lucky I won't need any new parts." She didn't think she'd be lucky.

Why would they be lucky, right? It was only being stranded. On a strange planet. With no hope of rescue.

They were all probably going to die or something. That was Peridot's expert opinion.

"Well, if there's anything I can do to help, I am a technician, myself."

And a bit of a brag, no humble about it.

Ahsoka never would have guessed.

"Thanks, I'll remember that."
