Friday Evening: Town Hall: Homecoming (8pm - 10pm)

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

The first thing that might be noticed when students walked into the Town Hall was the towering stone troll statues that had been dragged in to grace the corners of the dance floor.  It being Homecoming and a semi-formal dance, the trolls were decked out appropriately in hats, glitter, and togas.  Fairy lights were strung across the ceiling, some twined with streamers and some dripping glitter and confetti across the dance floor. 

The walls were decorated with blown up pictures of significant events at Fandom: Graduations, the school blowing up, the Christmas pageants, plays, carnivals, zombies, all the moments that make Fandom Fandom.  Given a place of honour on the walls were a mock up of an exploding volcano, a massive gremlin in a bow tie, and, of course, the Stickbug flag.

Large lit up snowmen congregated around the punch bowl against a snowy backdrop and across the ballroom near the stage, there was a mural of large dinosaurs reaching up to enjoy a glittery streamer dinner.  The wall of the door though had the biggest picture of all - a painting of the island at night from across the water.

As students dropped off their wraps, they were pointed to vote for Homecoming Court then encouraged to proceed into the ballroom.

"Nice dress," he replied, cocking his eyebrow as he lit his cigarette. "Somehow, though, I expected a tux. Or at least a suit." He handed back the Zippo. "Thanks."

An observant person might notice that the smoke that Ronan blew out seemed to disappear almost immediately.

"Maybe for prom," Jenny said with a shrug. "Thought I'd do the proper thing for once. Nice trick, that," she said, gesturing to the smoke.

Ronan shrugged. "Just because I don't mind killing my lungs," he said, "doesn't mean I care to subject others to it." He grinned. "It's a simple filter spell. Breaks down the smoke into harmless compounds."

"Huh. And here I thought the only magic for cigarettes was to steal them right out of my pocket. Bloody Dutchman."

"... I'm not going to ask," Ronan said. "How's your night going, anyway?"

Re: Punch Pre-Spiking

[ashockingbitch]

"It's going. No date, but what else is new in this bloody town? Yourself?"

Re: Punch Pre-Spiking

[not_in_the_book]

"Much the same," Ronan said. "No date. A couple of dances, though." He grinned. "So the night's not a complete waste."

Re: Punch Pre-Spiking

[ashockingbitch]

"Maybe for you," Jenny grumbled. "Oh, well, free punch."

Re: Punch Pre-Spiking

[not_in_the_book]

"Free punch, indeed." Ronan grinned. "And, surely, soon to become free spiked punch."

Re: Punch Pre-Spiking

[ashockingbitch]

Jenny smirked at him. "About which I would, of course, know nothing."

Re: Punch Pre-Spiking

[not_in_the_book]

"Oh, of course," Ronan said, laughing. "I'm quite certain that you have nothing at all to do with the spiking of the punch." Grinning, he added, "Your own punch, on the other hand..."

Re: Punch Pre-Spiking

Jenny grinned back at him. "I'm a proper English lass, I am, how dare you insinuate such a thing?"

Re: Punch Pre-Spiking

[not_in_the_book]

Ronan raised his eyebrow. "A proper English lass who provided me with a light. Clearly, I must be incredibly mistaken."

Re: Punch Pre-Spiking

[ashockingbitch]

Jenny tossed her head. "Very mistaken. That was just being polite. Now, if I were to provide you with a nip of gin, that might be questionable."

Re: Punch Pre-Spiking

[not_in_the_book]

Ronan raised his eyebrow. "Ah, but a polite young girl such as yourself would have no such gin to offer, of course."

Re: Punch Pre-Spiking

[ashockingbitch]

"Well," Jenny demurred, "she might."

Re: Punch Pre-Spiking

[not_in_the_book]

Ronan grinned. "Oh? Might she?" He held out his glass of punch.

Re: Punch Pre-Spiking

[ashockingbitch]

Jenny set down her punch cup to take a silver flask from her bag and tip a bit of its contents into Ronan's cup. A moment later, the flask was back in the bag and Ronan had his very own personalized cup of spiked punch.

Ronan took a sip of his punch. "Hmm," he said, grinning. "Just what I was looking for."
