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.

"Actually it's probably better for me too. Less chance of getting stepped on."

That at least got a giggle from Hoshi. "I'm glad you asked me to come. This really isn't as bad as I thought it would be."

"I'm glad I asked you to come too. So, what have you been up to that makes you leery of crowds?"

"I'm not used to dealing with a lot of people. My parents home-schooled me so I didn't get to be in the classroom with other kids," said Hoshi. "The first first time I had to deal with a large crowd was my grandfather's funeral. It was so packed that I felt like a couldn't breathe. Then I started to panic and started screaming, which made everyone stare, which made me panic even more."

"Oh dear." Robin said sympathetically. "Coming here must've been really weird then."

"I was really worried, and the crowd at the picnic did make me worry a bit," said Hoshi. "Not to mention that the person who dropped me off here didn't explain that it was 137 years before when I left home. Getting through that first week felt like a real achievement."

"Yeah no one told me it was almost 20 years in my future. You'd think that would be in the brochure."

"Yeah, but I guess if my parents knew that, they wouldn't have sent me here. They're very fussy that way," said Hoshi.

"The invasions might turn some parents off too."

"Exactly," said Hoshi. "I'm going to tell them not to come for Parent's Weekend. I'm afraid that if they do make it here, they'll pull me out of school and it's back to working with tutors."

"Eep! I hope they don't do that, I'm just starting to get to know you!"

"I don't think I'd want that either. I'm really starting to like this school."

"Yeah it grows on you. I got kinda scared when they told me about the invasions and stuff."
