"Two! Two Me But Boys!!!" says Atalanta, throwing up her hands, though she's careful to keep the gesture slow and nonthreatening.

"--Is that a lightsaber? Why are you not simply using a regular enchanted sword, that cannot be mana-efficient--"

"What the fuck," he says, slowly, enunciating each syllable precisely. He straightens up and unlightsabers.

"Well I dunno why you're all here but I told the void I had the munchies and it got me a spell to come here and so far that's working fine." He toasts with the root beer boba float.

"'What the fuck' was also my question! Hi, I'm Atalanta. And that's Lucia and that's Orion. Lucia, you can be in charge of explaining the Parents Situation."

"So, of the three of us who were here before you, my dad is named Oleander Rhys, and their moms are named Ophelia Rhys, and also they have a dad named Balthazar Lake, who has as far as I can tell no connection to my mom who is Lavinia Walsh. If you are also a Walsh-Rhys this will balance things out somewhat but, like, no pressure." 

"...no, Mother is Ophelia Rhys-Lake and my dad is Balthasar Lake. Once more: what the fuck."

"Wait, if you have the same parents as me and her why are you black."

"That was also a question I had but I wasn't just gonna come out and say it."

"One, dad is black and Magistra Rhys is white, two, if I had siblings I am pretty sure I would have heard of them, three, once again, what the fuck!!! Is there literally any context, here, where are you guys from, what happened, how are you here, how am I here, et cetera?"

"From the Scholomance. Did a spell to make the door lead to here. My dad isn't black..."

"Mine either!!"

"I also did a spell." And her mom is white but her mom's name isn't Lake so this is slightly irrelevant. 

"—was it a spell that mentioned, uh, stars, and drinks, and stuff? Like a short kind of ominous poem?"

"It didn't seem that ominous but yeah. Stars. Drinks." Another toast-gesture.

"...mine too," says Atalanta, very grudgingly.

"So, Orion had the munchies, I wanted more time to study Sanskrit, what were you two looking for?"

"I did not cast it. The void gave it to me and it had no explanation for it and I didn't cast it. I am feeling somewhat put upon." He finally resheathes the metal bar that used to be a lightsaber and makes his way to the bar, looking around more carefully.

Welcome to Milliways.

"Wow, if this woulda happened without casting it I should've dumped the mana instead of keeping it."

"Meh, it wasn't that expensive, we can always get more. Anyway, there's only so many places to dump it. Uh did that napkin just appear out of nowhere?" 

"It super did!"

"Do you not just dump it in the enclave sink?" Orion asks Lucia blankly. "Did you manage to overflow it or something?"

"Napkin says 'Welcome to Milliways'," Scorpius says, peering at it. "Uh, thank... you? —also I never introduced myself, did I, I'm Scorpius. Uh, Lake. Scorpius Lake."

"--I haven't been dumping all my mana in the enclave sink since sophomore year when I found out the freshmen were getting out of the habit of mana-building."
