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

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!]

"Nah, there's more. I've also got uberjock, testosterone-fueled rage machine - and you can't even compete with a Krogan quad so don't try, bitingly sarcastic sniper, too twee for words bouncemistress, calm collected and annoying, Mr. 'I think I'm funny but not' speed machine, and then there's Vega," Jack drawled, "Who you sound like so much it's creepy, but thank f..god you don't act like him. One's enough for all the galaxies. EDI's the only normal one of the lot and that's because she's a machine who can encode her personality matrix to whatever she wants."

Looked him up and down, "We need to find you something unique."

Cowboy warrior-monk!

"Unique, huh?" Kanan pursed his lips for a moment while he mulled that one over. "I guess 'gunslinging disaster Jedi' is a little too specific, huh?"

Definitely didn't have one of those!

"Nah, the family disaster's already me," she drawled, "'Jedi's too specific. 'Gunslinger' could also be Garrus. That man cradles his sniper rifle like it's a baby but he's also no slouch with anything else that goes bang."

She clapped him on the shoulder. "We'll figure it out. There's time. You're still a baby yet."

He was probably around her age.

"I suppose I can be patient, then," Kanan replied, smiling crookedly. "I mean, I've got plenty of time to find my stride."

He was sort of in a weird transitional period right now anyway.

"Patience is some sort of virtue. So I get told," Jack said. She hawked and spat to the side to show what she thought of that.

"Booooring."

"... Just so long as we don't settle on 'boring,'" Kanan decided. "Please, let's not settle on boring."

She snorted. "'Sif I'd let you wind up boring? No way. I'd beat you like cream before I'd let that happen."

Jack cared.

And now Kanan had to squint a little, uncertainly.

"Thank you?"

"Boring," she pointed out loftily, "ain't living. It's stagnating. You need to live more, not sit in a rut and rot."

Opinions. Shared.

"Some of my most exciting years were spent rotting," Kanan noted. "... I got better."

Much.

"Bet it was the bad type of exciting," Jack retorted, "We'll aim you at the good kind."

She could guess. Kanan had told her enough the last time she was here.

"I mean not that the bad kind of exciting isn't fun as hell.."

"I figured I was enjoying it at the time."

Or, uh, he was too drunk to really be able to tell the difference.

"So, what's the difference, exactly?"

"Good kind doesn't leave you with regrets," Jack answered him.

Kanan considered that. Considered her. And then sighed and nodded.

"Good kind doesn't leave you with regrets."

He couldn't argue logic like that.

She didn't have many but some of the ones she had were real doozies.

Leaning over, she bumped his shoulder with hers. "Smile, fucker. You'll learn how it works."

Then she muttered and rummaged in a pocket for a single credit chit and swapped it to the other pocket.
