Parents Weekend Meet and Greet - Town Park - Friday Afternoon

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

The Student Council had handwavily worked hard to put together a Parents' Weekend that couldn't be forgotten.  And hopefully not because of invasions, animal transformations or strangely shaped fairies.

A good part of the Park was set up with brightly coloured tables and chairs for mingling, relaxing, or simply watching the rare idyllic peace of a small pond.

To the left is the registration table, where the all-important name tag can be received while to the right is tables of delicious food and drink all under the watchful eye of Security.

Above everything waved a banner proclaiming in big blue and gold letters:  WELCOME FRIENDS AND FAMILY OF FANDOM ISLAND!

[OOC:  There's now a second part of the picnic for browser-friendliness.

OCD for this post to get to threads:  Registration Desk, Security, Food and Drink, Mingling]

The Arms Hotel Lobby, Friday

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

This was a big day with a lot of people expected to arrive. River had made sure the desk was tidy, that the pens were arranged in an interesting formation and that there was a plate of tuna and chili cookies available. She had also made an effort with the specials:

Welcome to the Arms Hotel!
Today's Specials
Chocolate soup with asparagus
Pasta with Raspberry sauce

The Arms Hotel is open!

[Please wait for OCD. OCD is up!]
ETA: For info on available room numbers see here.

Groovy Tunes; Friday [ 10/19 ]

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

For all his casual regard for the fact that he didn't have any living family, Chad was surprisingly feeling a little bit down once Friday rolled around and he passed the big meeting in the park on his way to work today. It turned out well for the cat, this sudden strike of sadness, as it gave Prince Oscar Pedro lots of chin scritches and ear rubs. He didn't need family, it was okay; he had lots of friends, both here and in Japan, and that was all he needed.

He hoped Melody wouldn't mind too much that he was going to spend a good deal of his shift just lavishing attention on his kitty instead of doing much work.

Today's music: Kid Stuff

Groovy Tunes is open!

Bluth's Original Frozen Banana Stand, Friday, 10/19

George Michael was not naked today. 

George Michael's black eye was looking much better.

George Michael had a fresh crate of bananas delivered overnight and he was ready for business.

Book Haven, Friday Afternoon (10/19)

[comelyhonour.livejournal.com]

With all the excitement of parents weekend, Beauty almost forgot that she was supposed to be starting her new job. She rushed down to the bookshop and hurriedly opened it, then threw herself down in a chair by the window where she could watch people go by.

[ooc: OMG super crazy day for me today, so please be prepared for massive SP.]

Wellspring Arms & Meditation Center, Friday

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

The signs read Open and Inquire Within For Meditation Instruction today.

Cable was still trying to write the letter he'd started on Wednesday.

For some reason or another, he couldn't help but glance occasionally at the door, feeling the strangest sense of dread crawling in the back of his mind.

The word red flashed momentarily through his thoughts.

[ open ]

Photo Hut, Friday

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

"Leonard!" a disturbingly familiar voice cried out as the door to the shop opened. "Hermano! Where are you?!"

Leo peeked out from behind the shelf he was stocking and winced.

"Hey Man." he smiled weakly.

"Hey Little Brother!" Leo's brother grinned broadly and glomped him. "How are you? Where are the ladies? Can I crash here for a while?"

Photo Hut is open. Come meet Leo's brother.

Parents Weekend Meet and Greet Part Two - Later Friday Afternoon

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

There were still plenty of name tags, plenty of refreshments, and plenty of guests to chat with cause there ain't no party like a Fandom party.

[Second verse same as the first!  A little bit loud and a little bit more crazy!]

Wonders of the World, Friday Evening [10/19]

[joanna-stayton.livejournal.com]

Joanna decided to open up Wonders Friday evening. It was, after all, some kind of family event in town, and mini golf was quite the family fun activity. Not to mention the fact that she had paid a good bit of money to have lights installed all over the course and track and she wanted an excuse to flip those switches.

She also put out a sign reading: Free hot dog and drink to the first ten five parents!

[Please wait for the ODC is up!]

Turtle and Canary Friday October 18th

[key-of-heart.livejournal.com]

Sora was slumped at the counter as he watched all the people outside the windows hoping one of them would end up being a familiar face from home, but it didn't look like that was happening. He made sure the store was nice a presentable and with Apu's help hung a sign inside that said "Welcome Visitors!"

It was shiny too.

Today's Squishy flavors: Sour Grapes, Home-made sugar cookies and red.

[ZOMG Just pretend this was posted earlier... yeah. Earlier.]

The Devil's Nest, Friday (10/19)

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

It was parents weekend, which in Aziraphale's mind meant the night would either be silent as a tomb while everyone was visiting with their guests, or full of people looking to hide from their guests.

Either way, he was appreciative that Musubi was there to help out. If things got too quiet, he could always slip out and see if there was anyone in town he recognized.

Tonight's Drink Specials:
Jim Beam's Family
Big Brothers
Kiss Your Mother

Preserve, Friday Afternoon

[sound-loyalty.livejournal.com]

Kabuto had been taking advantage of the free time this week to do some extra training. He'd also been doing a lot of research on his own personal projects, but today he felt too restless to stay indoors. Training did burn off excess energy in the form of chakra, and so he prescribed himself with the physical exercise.

While chakra control was something Kabuto excelled at, his weakest skill area was taijutsu (hand to hand fighting). He decided he'd spend a while working on his techniques, and see how he was feeling afterward.


(Kabuto's mainly here for a particular visitor, but open before that~)

(eta #2: reposted, as work computers suck and somehow the first one was eatenated. wtf.)

Caritas - Friday evening [Open]

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

When GOB opened up Caritas tonight, he was surprised to find a visitor right away. "Michael! What are you doing here?"

"Hey, GOB. I'm actually here to talk to you about something," Michael said.

"I have NEVER served George Michael any alcohol," GOB said immediately.

"Why did both of you tell me th--"

GOB hopped up on the bar and swiveled himself off on the other side, where he grabbed Michael's arm. "Nevermind. Let's get a table. Tino! You're running the bar! Tino, this is Michael, Michael, this is the useless help. And those are zombies."

[OOC: Yeah, this is a Tino night. If you want to talk to GOB or Michael, he'll be in the Lounge.]

Pizza Planet, Friday evening

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt and Chris didn't have any family arriving on the island since their grandfather couldn't make it -- which was probably a good thing, considering how he felt about things like magic. So they avoided the festivities and headed over to Pizza Planet for a bite to eat.

Wyatt wasn't feeling kind of mopey about not having parents there. Not at all.


[For the little brother and the "cousins," but open as a public place is.]

The Graveyard: Friday Evening

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

It's your typical Friday night for Mel. While most of her friends are off with their family type units, Mel tried to push aside her own family issues by going on patrol and staking any vampires she can find.

But at least she isn't alone...

( Isn't it fun when family comes to visit? )

[ooc: Preplayed with the_merriest and NFI. OOC comments are always appreciated]

Our Lady of Fandom, Friday all day

[no-archangel.livejournal.com]

Gabriel had heard some rumours about Fandom being invaded by parents this weekend. He had made sure he was stocked up on donuts and decided to stay inside.

[The church is open]

Somewhere in the Park, late Friday night

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

With a flash of light, GOB fell out of some trees and landed on the ground in a heap. This is because somebody asked some tough questions and he responded with a creative answer. Namely, he ran up and punched somebody. He celebrated his escape by dancing excitedly.

He then ran off somewhere to hide. He'd sneak back into Caritas late tonight and stay there so nobody could break his kneecaps.

[OOC: This post is inspired by SNL's Digital Short. For brief interaction as GOB is dancing or fleeing, if you'd like. I blame the_merriest.]
