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

As the picnic continued, there were tables and chairs arranged on the lawn, the food smelled delicious and inviting, and no one was going to be bitey without explicit consent. Hopefully, everyone would take some time to enjoy themselves!

[OCD is up! This is the picnic post for general mingling. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"Oh, we had an alien invasion on this world a few years back," Shuri said casually. "At least where I'm from. Big...alien whales in New York called Chitauri. Do you know them?"

Lana shook her head. "There are legends of creatures call purrgil that travel the stars and are sort of like the whales here, but that's the closest I know of, and I don't even know if they're real."

"These sort of ferried aliens who tried to take over, so probably different," Shuri said, writing down the name 'purrgil'--or at least her best attempt at spelling it--"but I'll try to check?"

"My galaxy has thousands of sentient species," Lana said. "I can try to find out if anybody's heard of your chitauri, too. And you might ask Vette." She looked around to find her, then pointed. "She's seen a lot more of the galaxy than I have."

"I'm sure the odds of the aliens that invade my world being from your galaxy are infinitesimal," Shuri said. "There's a lot of everything out there. But it would be fascinating. I'll definitely make Vette's acquaintance."

"She's a good friend, anyway," Lana said. "You'll like her, I think. So what brings you to Fandom?"

"My brother recently opened our country up to the outside world," Shuri said. "And I asked to be allowed to go to school somewhere new."

Lana had to take a moment for that. Because the Empire had only recently rejoined the wider galaxy, so the immediate connection her brain made was that Shuri was something akin to being sister to the Emperor, which was...something.

"Well, this is certainly that," she said. "New to pretty much everyone, from what I can tell."

"That puts us all on the same footing," Shuri said. "How convenient."

"More or less," Lana said. "Some of us have a bit of catch-up to do about local customs, animals, politics, and such. And it does help if you're naturally resilient."

"I'm very resilient," Shuri assured her, "and I love to do research."

"So do I!" Lana said, smiling. "What do you like to research?"
