Parents' Weekend Cocktail Party, Town Hall [Saturday Evening]

[likethegun]

The Student Council had broken out the fancy decorations for the town hall tonight. The parents and guests had received handwavey invitations at registration, to give them a chance to get away from their victims for a little while if they wanted to. The tablecloths were sharply pressed, the tables were arranged in an orderly fashion, and shiny gold seemed to be the color of the night, in the balloons and ribbons scattered around. There was a line of tables filled with finger food and, most importantly, an open bar for all who arrived.

[OCD is up, up and away! The invitations went to the guests but anyone can come and crash!]

Arrive and Mingle

[likethegun]

There's tables and chairs if you want to sit, and plenty of standing room if you don't.

Cocktail parties weren't exactly Billy's thing, but he figured Angie might want some space so he decided to attend. He wasn't big on the mingling, so he sort of hung around the edges of the room.

Spidercide was happy to get away from Reilly for a while. There were just too many chances to mess up a detail that would give him away, and even more opportunities to kill the guy. It was starting to wear thin.

So, sure, he'd come to the cocktail party, make small talk, and tell people he was Peter. Why not?

Jack, still in his service dress, figured he'd stop by the party after dinner at Outback. Cocktail parties weren't really his thing, but since he was dressed up ANYWAY... what the hell.

Having survived the day let's assume, Jacen knew he probably wouldn't be left on his own for too long, but that was all right. At the moment he had a drink he hadn't touched, and found somewhere to stand and look all thoughtful.

Well, of course Edlin had shown. Being the eldest son of a Great House meant that he was used to such gatherings. Though the ones back home never boasted such a curious array of all sorts of people. It was quite refreshing, truly.

Alejandra wasn't planning on staying long - she'd rather spend more time meeting Griff's friends, but she came in to look around and get herself a glass of wine.

Luke hadn't exactly flown across a galaxy to end up at another reception, but he supposed that the people here would be markedly more interesting than the same group of politicians he'd come to know over the decades.

Jaina was here because she wanted a drink. And wanted to make sure nothing went horribly wrong anywhere. That would also by why she wanted the drink.

Cam didn't mind attending cocktail parties when the drinks and food were free. She was currently sipping something alcoholic as she scanned the crowd.

Abigail had tried to drag Hannibal along with her to this party to keep her company but he'd begged off, talking about not being cocktail party material which let her to fend for herself.

Not that she minded. This place wasn't too bad. Pretty nice, even.

Max was mostly there to scope out the visiting women. A lot of them were hot, and none of them were his students, so...

So there he was, dressed up a bit with a grin on his face.

Alice found the idea of a cocktail party practically laughable.

That didn't stop her from making an appearance, though.

Like Mary needed an excuse to show up at a cocktail party. Even if she didn't have any guests and couldn't drink, she could still look fabulous in one of her cocktail dresses.

Mr. Feeny had a vague headache. This place seemed utterly mad.

And in some ways, that seemed to make perfect sense for a school Mr. Matthews attended.

He was dressed in a suit and was sipping at an apple juice, not one for much alcohol.

Azula was there, it was a celebration and royalty need to make appearances. Plus, there was food.

The negative aspect of this celebrations would be somehow running into her uncle.

Lafayette was there and getting his drink on. Still wasn't touching the food, though. There was no love in it whatsoever.

Irulan entered the hall, pleased to be attending the cocktail party and wondering how many people in attendance she would know.

Morgan was around and scoping out all the fine, fine ladies. Chuck was so lucky he got to go to a school like this.

Emma had no guests. Emma was thrilled to have no guests, and there was a party she wasn't supposed to be at.

Wild horses couldn't have kept her out.

She'd dressed up nicely and was currently drifting along, people-watching. And occasionally skimming for any interesting tidbits.

Janeway had decided there wasn't any harm in attending for a little while so she was there and looking around.

Yakko peeked out from under a table cloth. He ducked back in, whispered something very insistently, and dashed out from under the table. "Well, sibs, it looks like we found the party!"

Scott figured that this would be a good place to get out and see what else Bobby's school had to offer.

Okay, the truth of the matter was that he knew he wasn't going to get much of a feel for the place from people's parents, but it was a much better idea than staying on the same floor of the hotel as the jerkier Scott.

Food and Drink

[likethegun]

There's non-alcoholic beverages too, for those who don't feel the need for heavy drinking yet.

Free food and free booze. This really was turning out to be like a vacation. John took his glass from the bartender with a thanks and an appreciative look. All the people in this town were beyond pretty.

Hell, if he could manage to get laid at this event, he wouldn't have to give any more desperate looks to the botanist on Lorne's team.
