Parents Weekend Bowling Night, Fast Eddie's, Saturday

J.Lo had helped Tip set up for the evening, so along with the obligatory preponderance of glitter for any Student Council organized activity, there was also a non-zero amount of bubbles. Bubbles of every shape, size, and color drifted through the arcade, the shoe rental, the dining counter, everywhere but the bowling lanes, so as to not mess with the floor there if they popped. They weren't going to pop without extra effort, though. These were Boov bubbles, built to last.

"You know no one but you can tell that those say 'Welcome parents and guests', right?" Tip asked. Bill flew in indignant circles of her head, and J.Lo gave her the stink eye.

"If Tip had beento studying as werefor her promisings, she would knows this also."

"Anyway, let's get you some shoes. . . ."

"Swords?" Hera was a bit startled, yes. "I thought nobody on Earth used those anymore." And from what she'd seen so far, they didn't have vibroblades, let alone lightsabers.

"It's a niche market," Cassie said. "But that's part of why I like it. People still fence for fun or exercise, and it's a lot more fun learning about Earth history when you can swing it around and slice stuff up while you do it."

Hera smiled. "That sounds about right. Can you fight with one, too, or do you just make them?"
prophetnotpoet: (mmhm)

Re: Food!

[personal profile] prophetnotpoet 2017-09-30 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"I just make them. So far. It's hard to find people who can train you how to use a European broadsword. It's all rapiers and katanas."

Kanan used a sword, but Hera wasn't sure how it compared to anything on Earth. And anyway, that wasn't her secret to tell, even around here.

"You might find someone around here," she pointed out, though. "There's people from all over."

"Are any of them knights?" Cassie asked hopefully.
futurespacemom: (not so sure about this)

Re: Food!

[personal profile] futurespacemom 2017-09-30 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Um...what does that mean on Earth?" Hera asked. Probably not the same as being a Jedi Knight.

"They were sort of the head soldiers of the medieval era," Cassie explained. "Chosen by the ruler for their honor and courage and -- well, okay, mostly for their landed titles and ability to kiss ass enough, but supposedly it was about honor and courage and valor." She shrugged. "Also it means the opposite of day, but that's a different spelling."

"In Basic, too," Hera agreed. "I don't know any of those, then, but I haven't met everyone here. You'd have to ask or look around."
prophetnotpoet: (thinking)

Re: Food!

[personal profile] prophetnotpoet 2017-10-01 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
"Maybe I will," Cassie said. "Thanks. I'm guessing 'basic' isn't referring to, you know, people being . . . simple."
futurespacemom: (happy)

Re: Food!

[personal profile] futurespacemom 2017-10-01 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, no," Hera assured her. "Galactic Basic. That's what Kanan and I speak. It mostly seems to overlap with your English, though we usually use a different alphabet."
prophetnotpoet: (thinking)

Re: Food!

[personal profile] prophetnotpoet 2017-10-01 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
"Really!" Cassie leaned forward. "I wonder how that happened. It must be just one of those things, like how whole bunches of cultures developed their own weapons but they tend to fit into just a few categories." She shrugged. "Or maybe all the people who say Earth was actually colonized by aliens in ancient times are right."
futurespacemom: (stern)

Re: Food!

[personal profile] futurespacemom 2017-10-01 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Hera shrugged. "I have no idea. Though as far as we've been able to figure out, our galaxy's nowhere near here."
prophetnotpoet: (Default)

Re: Food!

[personal profile] prophetnotpoet 2017-10-01 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
"I've never seen anyone like you around before," Cassie confessed. "But that could just mean that Earth is too boring and backwater for aliens to visit yet."
futurespacemom: (smiling)

"It's possible, I suppose," Hera agreed. "Kanan likes to call it 'cute'. We wouldn't be here either, if not for Fandom."

Re: Food!

[personal profile] prophetnotpoet 2017-10-01 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
"How did you even find Fandom? I swear it wasn't on the maps until Uncle Eliot moved here."

"Kanan ended up here by accident," Hera said. "I came back here with him."
prophetnotpoet: (try me)

"Oh! Are you two, like. . . ." Cassie trailed off and tried to decide if hand gestures would translate as well across galaxies as their spoken language did. "I mean, that's kind of a really tight friendship, isn't it?"
futurespacemom: (amused judging)

Re: Food!

[personal profile] futurespacemom 2017-10-01 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
"We're good friends," Hera said. She wasn't confirming or denying anything else.
prophetnotpoet: (crooked smirk)

Cassie smiled a little and nodded. "Gotcha." That just meant she got to hold out what she knew was perfectly idle, futile hope.

Apparently she had a thing for green skin. She'd never have guessed.

"So, what's your favorite thing to do around here? Looks like a pretty standard podunk town."
futurespacemom: (sly)

Re: Food!

[personal profile] futurespacemom 2017-10-01 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
That was okay; so did Kanan.

"I mostly just take care of my ship and the yard, watch bad holos with Kanan, and keep tabs on things back home," Hera said. "We taught a bit over the summer, taking people out to see the solar system."

"Man! My high school never had classes that cool!" Cassie shook her head. "Really not a lot to do here, though, huh? I mean, bad . . . holos . . . sound cool and all -- I'm kind of thinking they're like movies? -- but going out is fun sometimes, too."
futurespacemom: (stern)

Re: Food!

[personal profile] futurespacemom 2017-10-01 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Like movies," Hera agreed. "We've watched some of those, too, with a friend. But this is a really small town, and I'm told the folks on the mainland aren't used to other species."
prophetnotpoet: (mmhm)

Re: Food!

[personal profile] prophetnotpoet 2017-10-01 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
"Noooope," Cassie agreed. "You could probably get away with going into Baltimore during a sci-fi convention or something, but probably not any other time."
futurespacemom: (doubtful)

Re: Food!

[personal profile] futurespacemom 2017-10-01 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
"A sci-fi convention?" Hera asked.

This would end well.
