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

[bigdamnprincipal]

It may have just been a coincidence that the weather was sunny now that Fandom was back home in Maryland, but no one was going to complain.

Okay, maybe they were going to complain a little since the sun meant it was in the high 90s 32C outside, but that just meant there was a good excuse for all the ice cream on the buffet table of picnic food.

There was the usual second table set up as well, stacked with nametags and lists to help folks locate their siblings and roommates. Once the chairs were set up and the tables were glittered, it was time to welcome the new folks and start a new semester!

[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!]

He sighed and looked a little suspicious. "I can..." Oh god, he had no useful skills outside of the corporate world! "Code something for you?"

There, the shittiest trade ever.

Ahsoka eyed him back.

"You don't need to pay me to help you." There was a decent chance she would've even if she hadn't been voluntold for this.

"Ha! Ha, ha," Rhys replied, like that just had to be a joke. "Ha. Yeah, no one just does things out of the kindness of their hearts."

That way lay madness and losing all the friends he had. God, he hoped Vaughn was okay on that murder planet.

Yes, but Ahsoka was raised by a cult of selfless magical kung-fu monks.

"You'd be surprised," she said dryly, she knew she still wasn't over Hondo just giving up on a profit of his own free will.

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Fall 2016]

[got-hijacked.livejournal.com]

That sounded fake. But okay.

"What do you get out of it then?" Was the answer friendship? Was it?

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Fall 2016]

[snipsnspecks]

Well, Ahsoka could use some friends who weren't murdered or mind-controlled into doing the murdering...

"It's part of the whole school-sibling job." The unpaid job.

"...so, you're forced to?" He could handle that way better than people just being nice for the hell of it.

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Fall 2016]

[snipsnspecks]

"In a manner of speaking." Which in this case would be the accurate one.

Well, she could just mind-trick him into thinking she'd helped him, but that'd be wrong.

Hey, he already had enough stuff happen to his brain lately, thanks.

"Okay. I can work with that," he decided slowly. "I just some help need to find a New-U station so I can fix whatever it did wrong with me and I can get out of your... um... hair."

Hair thing.

Montrals, Rhys. Montrals.

"Whatever that is, we don't have one." Sorry, Rhys. "Plus the medicine on this planet is kind of primitive, including the cybernetics so the clinic's not going to be much help either."

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Fall 2016]

[got-hijacked.livejournal.com]

Now he just looked a little freaked out. "Oh god, I'm stuck like this?!"

He could build an arm with enough trial and error. Probably even an ECHO eye if he tried. But the teen thing was a bit much.

"I don't want to be a teenager again. It was awful!"

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Fall 2016]

[snipsnspecks]

Ahsoka had said the clinic wasn't going to help, but Anakin would probably have some ideas, or maybe the teacher with the power armour fetish.

Not that she said this because teenager again what?

"What?"

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Fall 2016]

[got-hijacked.livejournal.com]

Shhhhh. It wasn't a fetish. It was totally a fetish.

"I had a job and an apartment and student loans," he whined.

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Fall 2016]

"...did you hit your head or something?"

Ahsoka you met your presumed dead Master and his adult grandchildren, don't judge.

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Fall 2016]

[got-hijacked.livejournal.com]

SO MANY TIMES SINCE HE STARTED THIS ADVENTURE. HE MIGHT HAVE BRAIN DAMAGE.

"I'm telling the truth," he snapped.

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Fall 2016]

[snipsnspecks]

"Uh-huh," Ahsoka was unconvinced, even if he didn't feel like he was lying.

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Fall 2016]

[got-hijacked.livejournal.com]

Rhys threw his hand up in the air. "I am!"

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Fall 2016]

[snipsnspecks]

And yet Rhys still hadn't reached Skywalker levels of dramatics. "Was there a weird cloning accident?"

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Fall 2016]

[got-hijacked.livejournal.com]

"It was the New-U station," he said, eye lighting up at the memory. "They're supposed to reconstruct you after you... die..." and then cleared his throat nervously. "...but it must have glitched."

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Fall 2016]

[snipsnspecks]

"Okaaaay then." That was Kenobi levels of non-committal there, Ahsoka.

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Fall 2016]

[got-hijacked.livejournal.com]

"Maybe Jack--" He frowned, mouth going tight and angry before swallowing that on down. "It glitched. Must happen sometimes."

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Fall 2016]

[snipsnspecks]

"Well there's nothing you can do about it now." Because they so didn't have that tech here. "So you might as well enjoy the free food for now."

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Fall 2016]

[got-hijacked.livejournal.com]

He was never going to stop whining about this, you know. Never.

"Is there at least something I can use to make an arm around?" Or a guy with an armor fetish. Maybe a Skywalker who isn't really a Skywalker until they lose a limb?

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Fall 2016]

[snipsnspecks]

"If you just want general parts there's an electronics store and a junkyard in town," Ahsoka said, remarkably blasé about missing limbs. "Anakin, Master Skywalker, used to have a cybernetic so he might know where to get more specific ones."

She'd occasionally helped her Anakin with maintaining his arm, but mentioning that might go too far into personal details.

Re: Meet Your Big/Little Sibling [Fall 2016]

[got-hijacked.livejournal.com]

"Master Skywalker?" That just sounded dirty and wrong, Ahsoka.
