Dorm lawn [early afternoon]

[sith_happened]

Juliet was happily sticking her foot into her mouth on a blanket as Anakin and her (younger, at least theoretically) brother Christopher raced around on the lawn. The little boy squealed loudly as Anakin caught him and tossed him into the air, using the Force to make him hover for a moment.

"Again!"

"Say please," Anakin replied.

"Peas!"

"Close enough."

And being on campus meant that Anakin had put his lightsaber into the weapons locker. And he won't kill people in front of his kids! Come play Jedi tag!

Skye was good at escaping parental supervision and was out wandering around on his own again when he came upon another familiar figure. "Hi, Grandpa!" he greeted him as he came up and flopped down on the blanket beside Anakin uninvited.

[sith_happened]

Anakin blinked. "Hello, you. Where's your mother?"

It was a good chance of any as to figure out which one of the brood this boy was.

Jaina eyed Skye. "Who are you?" she demanded.

Robin didn't actually have any children visiting him. But he always got a kick out of this weekend.

"Hi!" he greeted everyone.

[sith_happened]

Christopher stopped running long enough to give the frog a slightly puzzled look before racing off again.

"Robin," Anakin said, nodding. "At least I know you're not related to me this weekend."

"GRANDPA!" Jaina squealed as she saw Anakin. And that would be her launching herself at him for a hug.

[sith_happened]

"Ooof," replied said grandpa. "Which one are you?"

Sean knew where Mommy was. Over there at the front door. He wasn't supposed to go out of her sight. But they were racing! Eeeeeeeee!

So he was chasing Christopher as he hovered, eyes huge, probably going to fall down any second.

[sith_happened]

Anakin set the little boy down, who raced off with a giggle.

"Hello," he said, smiling. "You're not one of Ben's, are you?"

The red hair made him wary.

Selina was bored. Apparently her parents didn't have games or proper training rooms here. And there wasn't even a giant T-Rex to play with like there was at the Batcave. And so she went to a gathering of other children out on the lawn and tried to silently sidle up to the adult in the area.

"Are you running a day care here?" she asked Anakin.

[sith_happened]

"I certainly seem to be," Anakin said a little wryly. "Hello. Who do you belong to?"

Tahiri wasn't really here to play tag, and she had her hand on the shoulder of a nine-year-old girl in Jedi robes as she approached Anakin; she'd had a long talk with Cassa last night after she'd found the girl coming back from Caritas to explain this particular family-connected quirk of Fandom. Cassa had insisted it was all right, and she had to meet her great-grandfather.

"Master Skywalker," she said as they approached. "Someone really wanted to meet you."

[sith_happened]

Anakin had listening to the radio, so he had a small inkling of who this might be.

"Hello," he said quietly to the little girl. "I'm Anakin."

[weetinyempaths.livejournal.com]

"Hello, Tahiri," wee Anakin said when he spotted her. Behind him, Raven gave Tahiri an apologetic glance for attracting the attention of the demon child.

So yeah, Daddy had been less than pleased to find that Aurore had done some morning adventuring on her own. But after enough wheedling on her part (look, she had years of practice at this and even Daddy at home had a hard time resisting, little!Daddy was totally an easier mark) she'd convinced him to let her go out and play on the lawn of the dorms.

"Bonjour!" she greeted. At this point, she was just trying to see how many people would speak French back at her. Almost no one except Papa and Remy did at home.

[sith_happened]

Anakin grinned. "Bonjour," he replied. "But I warn you, that's all the French I know."

Yes, Raven was taking the existence of Anakin Bass as a sign that she should never, ever have children. But she wasn't about to mistreat him while he was there, so he'd stayed with her last night, and the next afternoon she decided to take him outside to play. If he even did play. The boy was seriously creeping her out.

When she saw Anakin, of course she had to stop and traumatize him with her offspring. "Hello, Professor Skywalker," she said, noting all the children nearby. "These are not all yours, are they?"

"Hello, Master Skywalker," wee Anakin said. Staring. With his creepy eyes.

[liliceflakes.livejournal.com]

"I'm not!" Aurore spoke up. "Hi!"

[solo_sword]

As far as Jaina figured, getting her kids out where they could tire themselves out only helped in the long run. She wasn't entirely surprised to see Anakin out on the lawn, though before she could say anything, the twins were chorusing "Grandpa!"

[sith_happened]

"Faces I recognize!" Anakin replied, giving them a grin. "Hello."

Look, while Kennedy had been hoping not to sleep alone last night, she hadn't had in mind having to share the bed across the room from her girlfriend with a sugared-up five year old boy who called her Mom.

Tara and Rosemary had gone down to the beach, so Kennedy had taken Desmond and Birgitte for lunch at Outback, and it was a good thing she had Dad's credit cards on her because her kids (gyah) had inherited her appetite and then some, and at least in Des's case she could guess Bobby was to blame for that. They were on their way back from town, Des zooming along like a little X-Jet and Birgitte shooting at random bits of shrubbery with an imaginary crossbow.

"No," Kennedy was telling her, "I'm not taking you to the shooting range. You're not old enough to play with my crossbow."

"MOM MOM OTHER KIDS!" Des yelled, screeching to a halt when he spotted everyone on the lawn. "Can we play?"

"Ooooh, can we?" Birgitte chimed in, no doubt encouraged by the sight of several boys in the group.

Kennedy groaned. "Yeah, sure. Knock yourselves out."

"Des!" Aurore waved at her sorta-brother.

After their visitors in her room, Jaenelle Mara was starting to get a little restive. Recognizing the signs, Karla decided to bring the little girl outside and let her burn off some of that excess energy.

Seeing Anakin made Karla realize that this might not have been the brightest of ideas. He was running around with a bunch of children, which was hilarious and adorable, but considering how gobsmacked both she and Ben were about Jaenelle's parentage, she wasn't sure how well Anakin would take it.

So there was a bit of trepidation there, yes.

[sith_happened]

"Karla," Anakin said with a nod. "Tiny person with Karla."

Rory returned with coffee for herself and Anakin mid-afternoon, as well as a juicebox for Christopher and a bottle for Juliet.

"That looks fun," she commented.

[sith_happened]

Anakin's face lit up when he saw her. "Want to be tossed too?"

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

Aravis was leading a little girl with red hair across the lawn. "Good afternoon, Master Skywalker. Have you met Mara?"

[skycrawlers.livejournal.com]

"Afternoon, Great-Grandfather," Mara said shyly, trying desperately to be as polite as her mother wanted.

Lena had followed Sean out onto the lawn when she saw flying, are you kidding? Plus she had to find Jaina.

They had to throw stuff!

[sith_happened]

"Hello," Anakin with a smile. "Who do you belong to?"

[weeheroes.livejournal.com]

Raine was glad to get away from her little brother for a while. He was a nice kid, but oof.

She'd had an actual something to do in mind, but hey. The flying was kind of distracting her. She stood there, watching in awe. "Cool!"

[sith_happened]

Anakin grinned. "Glad you like it."
