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

[bigdamndean]

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

So, Kanan still seemed to be stuck in this galaxy. So, here in this galaxy, he was going to be teaching some more. Which was fine. He was fine with this. Maybe he still didn't think of himself as teacher material, but if he was going to be here anyway, he might as well. And hey, that dog that he'd insisted up and down that he wasn't going to keep had tagged along to the picnic, too.

He'd insist it was because he was teaching a class about weird Island things this semester, and a rainbow dog definitely fit the bill. The truth of the matter was more that Stance had given him big sad puppy eyes and even Kanan wasn't a monster who would make a sad-eyed puppy miss out on meeting all the new people. So here he was, occasionally feeding Stance cold cuts from the food tables. Apparently, rainbow dalmatians liked ham.

Well, that got Kanan to raise his eyebrow a little, in turn.

"It was the 'kark' that gave it away, wasn't it?"

Not that 'space boy' was that much of a secret. He did go around telling people that he was a pirate and occasional smuggler, after all.

Electroclash admitted it via a small nod and a crooked smirk.

"Know someone who says that a fair bit."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2016]

[uncertain_dume]

Kanan's own smirk was also just the slightest bit crooked, then, as he looked over the crowd, contemplating which of the people out there were most likely to drop a 'kark' from time to time.

... He dismissed Obi-Wan out of hand.

"It is a pretty flexible word," he shared, not letting his gaze rest for long on any one person. "I don't suppose they're here, are they?"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2016]

[electrocynic]

"Sure they are," she replied.

But she was too much a jerk by nature to just blurt out who it was.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2016]

[uncertain_dume]

Kanan gave an amused little snort, and then he grinned back at her. Hey, jerks by nature more or less spoke his language. He was okay with this.

"How nicely am I going to have to ask if I want to find out? Or is that one of those things I'm going to need to figure out on my own?"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2016]

[electrocynic]

"Depends on how nicely you're willing to ask, really," Electroclash mused with a hint of a drawl, tilting her head just a bit.

Hey, she wasn't hellbent on guarding Atton's identity, but she wasn't minding this interaction so why not have fun with it?

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2016]

[uncertain_dume]

But really, that was a promising sort of drawl. Kanan raised his eyebrows just the faintest bit, and while his smile wasn't completely shameless, it was definitely on its way there.

"Over drinks, maybe? I can ask things very nicely when there are drinks involved."

God, Kanan. You were so bad at this Jedi thing.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2016]

[electrocynic]

Please, the people who were good at it weren't half as interesting.

Her smirk widened just a little bit. "I do like a good drink." Or two, or several.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2016]

[uncertain_dume]

"And there is a bar in town where they don't serve the students," Kanan added, going another step or two in that 'shameless' direction. "If that's your speed."

He had yet to meet an adult who liked drinking with the students around.

There was also a non-bar option, but he was testing the waters, here.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2016]

[electrocynic]

Electroclash had been to Caritas enough to know that you didn't actually see a ton of students there, most of the time. But mostly she was just calculating how much of a slag she wanted to come off as when they'd just met.

She was leaning towards 'maybe not very'.

"Devil's Nest?" she replied. "Works for me."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2016]

[uncertain_dume]

"Great," Kanan replied, his near-shameless expression holding true. If she had said as much, hell, it wasn't like he'd judge her for it. Kanan's standards were... well, he probably had some. He might have left them in his junk heap of a ship. "We can pick an evening that works for you, and drinks are on me."

Translation: 'You are literally the only adult woman I have met in the several months since arriving on the island, so my evenings are completely free and I'm not about to assume that yours are too.'

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2016]

[voiceoverdue]

Well, his roommate and bird were here, too, so at least Kanan and Stance weren't the oddest looking ones?

"Any nifty new students yet?"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2016]

[uncertain_dume]

"So far...?" Kanan glanced at Cecil with an apologetic smile and a shrug of his shoulders. "Not really. They're... you know. Human. Teenagers. The usual."

Somebody hadn't met his new teaching buddy yet. But then, Cecil had specified a students, so...

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2016]

[voiceoverdue]

"They could still be nifty," Cecil pointed out.

Foucault honked at Stance and pecked him more or less gently, looking to play.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Fall 2016]

[uncertain_dume]

"They could be," Kanan allowed, "though I'm reserving judgement for after I get to know them. They could all be a pack of Dantes, for all I know so far."

Force forbid...

Stance, excited to be getting attention even if it didn't come with free ham, barked and pranced in a circle around Foucault.
