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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Despite the not-so-great weather earlier in the week, the weather today looked nice and... well, decent for the end of December, and while the rest of town might still have signs of last week's snow, there were no traces left outside the school. (It just meant one less uncomfortable question for the big siblings to deal with, you're welcome.)

The buffet table was ready, set as far as possible from the glittered-out blue and gold tables and chairs. The winter bonfire was crackling for warmth and food-toasting opportunities. The lists of siblings and roommates had been double-checked. It looked like everything was ready for a picnic!

[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!]

"And now here we are, our forces combined," Kanan replied, chuckling. "What are we going to do for the first class? Traditional introductions, or throw them right into the deep end?"

The deep end that was going to get so very deep, wasn't it?

You'd think they could have managed to figure some of this stuff out earlier, but...nah. Flying by the seat of their pants was more fun and more their style anyway, right?

Right!

"Our class is toward the end of the week," Summer pointed out, "so they're going to be sick to death of introductions at that point. I say we throw them right into that deep end....maybe in a way that also serves as an introduction?"

She didn't know exactly how to marry the two, but, give her a second, she might come up with something.

Kanan squinted a little, mulling that over.

"I like it," he replied, already ticking through a few vague ideas, himself. "I suppose we could..." He frowned a little. "I don't know. Hit up the danger shop. Drag them through something we're used to that isn't the norm around here..."

He pause, and then added, "Get them to do the same?"

"Ooooooh," said Summer, her head bobbing a little in an approving nod, "I like that! Sort of a...show and tell, to gauge what everyone's used to and where they might be coming from! And since it is later in the week, anyone new will have had a chance to better understand where they stand on that level comparative weirdness. That's brilliant, BDG. Now I'm going to have to think of something real good."

"Dibs on a cantina," Kanan said immediately. And then broke into a little grin. "It's homey."

You know. Because the variety of folks you'd find in one and not at all because he'd spent a good number of cumulative months just passed out on cantina floors.

"Cantina's all yours, my friend," Summer assured him. "That's way more your scene than mine. Mine's more..." She narrowed her eyes a little, since she'd still been trying to think of something, "...creating a teeny, tiny rift in the space-time continuum because you threw a raging house party kegger and your parents are coming home earlier than you expected."

"And there's a problem I can honestly say I've never had," Kanan admitted, tilting his head.

It was difficult to tell, sometimes, if he was bemused or impressed. Sometimes it managed to be a combination of the two.
