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

Everyone had been keeping a close eye on the weather, and gave a sigh of relief as it turned out to be a pretty decent day. Sure, it was still a little warm, but it wasn't humid, or raining something strange. You had to take your wins where you could get them around here.

As usual, there was a buffet of food awaiting the folks on the welcome shuttle, and blue and gold tables and chairs were set up across the lawn, most still covered in glitter from the last picnic. Sorry not! Happy picnic day!

[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!]

"It's...in the Kaas system," Lana said. "Seat of the Empire. Ah, wait - are you from this planet, then?"

"From this planet?" Nell's mouth dropped open. "Are you saying you're not?"

Maybe this wasn't some government holding place. Maybe this was a looney bin.

"It's my first time here," Lana confirmed. "It's apparently in a different galaxy entirely."

Nell took a deep breath. "Okay. So... you're from another galaxy. This is going to take a lot of getting used to."

"The bus driver was saying this planet hasn't even really got space travel yet?" Lana asked. "I imagine it would be an adjustment."

"Yeah, I'll say." Nell took a deep breath. "And I grew up what you might call sheltered, so all this... it's testing me some."

"Sheltered how?" Lana asked. She supposed she could be considered sheltered herself after spending so long on Korriban with only other Sith, but that wasn't what most people meant by the word.

"We... the church I grew up in, God's Cloud of Glory... we kept to ourselves. No outside schooling or influences. No modern clothes or technology. Till I married John when I was 12 I was almost never even out of the compound," Nell said. "Even after I only ever went to the market. And the library if I could sneak a little time."

"That sounds..." terrible. "Very sheltered, yes," Lana agreed. "Oh, I do hope this place has a good library."

Nell's eyes went wide. "Oh, do you think so? Even a not so good one would be amazing! There's no one here to tell me I can't read something!"

She could spend hours there!

"Every school should have one, I'd think," Lana said. "And if anybody tries to tell you you can't read something, let me know, and I'll get it for you."

"I don't think John would be very happy with that." But what John doesn't know can't bother him, now can it?

"But I'll let you know," Nell promised.
unusual_sith: (ya think?)

"Unless he comes here, he's not liable to find out, is he?" Lana asked. "Besides, I can keep a secret. Anything in our room, you can just say it's mine."

Nell smiled at her. "That would be very kind of you. If I have to be here I'm glad to have you to share a room with."

"And I'm pleased to share with you," Lana said. She would of course keep a lookout, but Nell didn't seem like the backstabbing sort, which was a nice change.

Nell was about as far from the backstabbing sort as you could get. It might be tough for her, being so far from home for the first time, but no matter what, she wouldn't be betraying anyone.

"Then I guess I'll see you at our room."

"I'll see you there," Lana agreed.
