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.

"It's the kind of place that most demons typically like to call home."

Blackheart raised an eyebrow.

"I take it that the Fandom doesn't usually have demons attending classes?"

"Not that I've met," she replied diplomatically.

This earned a moment of the other eyebrow raising.

"Really? There have been demons here before?"

That was interesting.

"I think there was one, but I never knew him," she replied, shrugging.

"And here I thought that I was something new and unusual," Blackheart said with a bit of a smirk. "I suppose I'll have to work that much harder to impress people, hm?"

He wasn't terribly concerned, really.

She offered a little smile. "Well, it's not like there's been a ton."

"Well, in that case, maybe I don't have to try too hard." He was smiling back. Why not? "I have to admit, I'm a little surprised at how many students here figure I'm no different from the rest of them."

...

"Or, in Johnny's case, goth."

Johnny was special.

"You don't seem that different," Pam agreed. "How old are you, anyway?"

Re: Mingling

[identity profile] way-black.livejournal.com 2007-10-06 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Probably about as old as most of the students in the school combined," Blackheart replied thoughtfully. "Which, by demon standards, isn't nearly as old as it must sound to you."

"...I'm only sixteen, so yeah."

Re: Mingling

[identity profile] way-black.livejournal.com 2007-10-06 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, wow.

She didn't look a day under nine-hundred.

"Yeah."

He wasn't fidgeting. Blackheart didn't fidget. He was, however, standing there awkwardly.

"I did mention that's a nice dress? It is."

Oh. Look. Revenge of the small talk.

"Thanks," she said with a small smile. "You don't look really, really old, for what it's worth."

Re: Mingling

[identity profile] way-black.livejournal.com 2007-10-06 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
"Thanks." How do you follow that up? "You don't look ... ridiculously young?"

He actually almost hoped that wasn't misconstrued as an insult, somehow. He also tried very hard to keep in mind the fact that, although she was only sixteen, he was not, in fact, on a date with an infant.

"Hey, that's not too young for a group that only lives to be eighty or so," she pointed out.

Re: Mingling

[identity profile] way-black.livejournal.com 2007-10-06 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
"Point," he conceded. "And like I said, I'm not too old, given that I'll probably live to the end of the world or so."

At least he hoped he did. He had one Hell of an inheritance to look forward to.

"Any idea on when that'll be?"

Re: Mingling

[identity profile] way-black.livejournal.com 2007-10-06 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
"I have absolutely no idea," he said with a shrug of his shoulders. "Probably some ludicrous number of years in the future. I don't think anyone likes to get things over with quickly anymore."

Re: Mingling

"As long as it's not in the next seventy-odd, I'm good," she answered.

Re: Mingling

[identity profile] way-black.livejournal.com 2007-10-06 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Blackheart laughed a little.

"Personally, I wouldn't mind if it happened to be tomorrow. But I suppose it means something quite different for me than it does you."

Re: Mingling

[identity profile] keds-champion.livejournal.com 2007-10-06 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
"You've been around longer. I still have stuff I want to do," she pointed out with a smile.

Re: Mingling

[identity profile] way-black.livejournal.com 2007-10-06 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
"Anything I'm going to do is going to happen after the End of Days," he said, and then actually laughed a little. "Imagine how I must feel, being hundreds of years old and still living at home with my father."

Re: Mingling

[identity profile] keds-champion.livejournal.com 2007-10-06 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
"Point," she conceded. "At least you're up here now, though?"

Re: Mingling

[identity profile] way-black.livejournal.com 2007-10-06 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
"Very true." There was a bit of a pause as he considered the situation. "And you know, I like it here. I'm in no hurry to go back."
