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.

"Not offended at all," he said, grinning. "And I happen to agree with you about the formal versus roof dancing."

He indicated that he wanted to take the lead, hoping that Neil would pick up on it, and then tried to send him into a spin that was decidedly un-waltz-like.

Neil liked dancing and he loved improv so as soon as he was certain of what Ronan wanted, he did a quick double step to catch up and go into that fun spin.

It made him laugh and he playfully struck a pose at one point, hints of the natural born actor coming through.

"Even when being unformal at a formal, there's still formality, vs a roof." He agreed, eyes on Ronan's face to help him read the other boy's next lead.

Ronan grinned, leading Neil into a sequence of steps that were half-waltz, half-jive. "True," he said. "Roof is good for freeform. But this, I think, is still a lot of fun."

The jive was a nice touch and definitely got Neil to grin as he matched steps.

"While I agree with you, Ronan, I think we should still totally have the winter roof party so we can compare and make certain," he said with a conspiratorial wink.

"Oh, definitely," Ronan said, grinning, and returning the wink. "I'll have to put up with the hardship of dancing with you again, I suppose."

Neil laughed and gave Ronan's hand a little tug, a playful wrestle for the lead as a result of the teasing.

"How will you survive?"

Ronan grinned, yielding the lead to Neil. "I suppose I'll just have to manage," he said, sighing dramatically.

Just for that, Neil was totally going for giving Ronan a dramatic -swoon worthy- dip.

Ronan laughed as he as dipped, swooning appropriately at the bottom of the dip. "Oh, Neil!" he gasped, melodramatically.

Laughing merrily, Neil pulled Ronan back to his feet and stepped back as the song seemed to be coming to an end.

"Thank you for the dance, Ronan."

"It was my pleasure," Ronan said, bowing slightly to Neil. "I can't wait until we have the opportunity again."

Returning the polite bow, Neil grinned.

"I as well and also looking forward to planning rooftop winter shinnangins later as well. Enjoy the rest of the dance and I'll talk with you later?"
