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

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.

Ronan nodded. "Oh, I assumed as much." He grinned. "I certainly didn't have any difficulty finding dance partners at the roof party, after all."

"I missed that one," Neil said ruefully.

"Oh, it was a great party," Ronan said. "We'll have to do another one -- maybe in the winter, actually. Clear off snow for a dancing area, find a way to keep it warm... there are enough magically inclined students here, we could probably pull that off easily enough..."

The wheels in Ronan's head? Totally not turning.

What was that bit of smoke coming out of his ears then?

Neil brightened at the idea and nodded.

"We could even get some of those clay stand alone outdoor fire pots to burn and then magically ward them so that the roof wasn't at risk and have hot apple cider, that's what we always had up North when we'd do things like that in the winter months."

"Lots of hot drinks, actually," he said, considering. "Cider, and hot chocolate... maybe some mulled wine." He grinned. "I think we have the beginnings of a very good plan."

"I think we do," Neil agreed thoughtfully. "It would also be great to break up the sense of cabin fever that tends to set in, depending upon when we wanted to do it of course."

Ronan nodded. "Perhaps just after exams?" he asked. "It would be a good way to celebrate, and let off the stress."

"Just before folks headed off for the holidays as sort of a last hurrah," Neil agreed. "I know I'll be spending the break here so it won't be that hard to pull off."

Ronan nodded. "Definitely a plan," he said, grinning. "We should get River involved in this, too," he added. "She was instrumental in planning the last roof dance, so."

"Oh yes!" Neil said with a bright smile. "And she's one of the school's best dancers as well."

"Oh, yes." Ronan grinned. "Dancing with her is rather like magic."

"I have had that pleasure," Neil agreed with a nod. "She's brilliant. I sort of miss the dance club she helped run in the spring."

If the club had started up again, he hadn't heard about it.

Setting his hands on his hips Neil smiled with an easy, good natured sort of friendliness.

"So, since we can both agree that neither of us is River, how would you feel about making do the best we could for a spin on the floor?"

Ronan grinned. "Well, if you're asking, then absolutely."

"See, now answers like that will go to my head," Neil said playfully and looked towards the dance floor where it looked like the third set was gearing up.

"Now?" He asked, uncertain what prior committments Ronan might have.

Ronan grinned, and held out his hand. "No time like the present."
