Community Center- Alumni Mixer- Friday night (after the debates)

The community center had been decorated both prettily and tastefully for tonight's alumni mixer, even if the music left a little to be desired. After all, sure, it was nice to have some good dancey music in there, but what was a mixer without some Bieber thrown in there? And the more Bieber the better, right? So those attending could look forward to one of those classics thrown in there every now and then. And possibly look forward to getting those classics stuck in their heads, whatever.

Look, at least the food was good, okay?

[Everyone welcome. Come one, come all! Takes place after the debates, so you can go right from one to the other!]

Show up, see who's here... I don't need to tell you what to do here, you're all very good at mingling.

There are tables of moddable food and drinks to be had here. You should try some. They're yummy...

And yes the alcohol is still gone. But you will just have to deal.

For you antisocial types. It tends to be a very large corner...

Get both down and funky, if that is your thing. Or just get down or funky. We don't judge here.

Look, I've had the Nyan cat song in my head for like half of yesterday. Be glad you didn't get a post full of that.

BIEBER! \o/

SOON TEENYBOPPERS WILL CONQUER THE ISLAND.

OH MY GOD MILEY THE HAIR WHY.

It was an SNL skit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjjvkcj0100)!

One that I am now watching again and again. Gah!

Kennedy hadn't been about to pass up a chance to come back and visit the island, not when the invitation was dropped in her lap.

Know one thing she did not regret about living in 2002? The Bieber.

Although mostly, she could ignore that in favor of being all dressed up, looking damn awesome, and being really, really glad to be back for a few days.

Jaina hadn't been entirely sure she'd been able to make it this time thanks to work, and had ended up getting to the island not long before the event started. She'd had time to make herself presentable, though, and got herself a drink just to have something to carry around while she looked around for people.

Did it matter that she'd only been here a few weeks ago? No, because it'd been three months for her. Stupid time difference.

Hermione hadn't exactly graduated from Fandom High (something which still bothered her, not that she was thinking about that), but when the alumni were invited back, she felt like she had to go. She might see people she'd known before. So she was here, and looking hopefully for familiar faces.

Yeah, right. Like Jono was going to turn up one of these things? Sure, there was some mess going on back home regarding so-called 'designer genes,' but he wasn't exactly allowed to get elbows-deep in that rubbish anyhow.

So he might as well be here, even if he was tucked away in a corner and looking uncomfortable in his wrappings, relaxing for a day or two.

Really, Jono should know better by now.

Naomi definitely wasn't going to turn down a chance to visit Fandom so she was there and looking around.

Any excuse to pull out a cute dress and mingle with old friends, even if it did involve trans-Atlantic portal travel for a weekend.

Angela hadn't even noticed the lack of caffeine or alcohol yet, and was apparently immune from irritation at the high levels of Bieber. The music selection could be so much worse, couldn't it?

Well, where else would Jono head once he'd gotten his fill of pretending to be social in a slightly more open corner of the room?

It was dark over here, he wore black. It worked out nicely for him that way.

Someday, Jack was going to stop showing up every time the island crooked its little finger.

This was not yet that day.

Anyhow, his flatmate had been driving him mad all week with high-volume replays of Britney Spears' ouevre.

Not that the music here seemed to be much better, but at least he had some hope the company would be. He got a glass of punch and wandered through the crowd, eyes open for anyone he hadn't seen in a while.

Do you know what there was to do in Bristol when you were trying to avoid falling back into old habits? Fuck all. So when the invite filtered though to pay a visit, it was jumped on it.

Effy was still big on the shadowy corners. She hadn't changed that much. There was though, much less brooding in it, much less black, and she probably appeared a little more approachable despite her lack of cigarettes.

"I was starting to think it was going to be a quiet night." There weren't that many around she felt like she knew well enough to slide on up next to for a chat. Jack, lucky man that he was, made that list.

"Alright," she added, lips twitching into a smile to go with her greeting.

Seeing a familiar face, Jaina decided she felt like wandering over. "Haven't seen you in a while," she said with a little smile.

You know, like years or something at this point.

Oh look, it was a thirty-something year old Peter Bishop, awkwardly showing up to this thing. Not that he looked like he was awkward, or bothered, or anything other than smug. That's how Peter Bishop rolled.

Then he heard the music.

"Really? Really?" he said to no one in particular.

"That might be a theme tonight," Kennedy noted, grinning back; the time difference was still a sore spot, but she was shifting into party mode and not thinking about it. "I haven't been back here, where I graduated last summer, in over a year, and math? So not my strong point, and I'm sticking with 'a while.' It's convenient, you know?"

"Alright," Jack returned, smiling back (and maybe just checking around a little bit to see if he could spot Alex). "Thought you'd escaped too. Couldn't resist a good mixer?"

Everytime you think you get out....

"I don't think Emma is coming." Jack's dirty look was tempered with his smugness that Peter had gotten slapped. "But yes. Really."

"You have no idea how much I agree with that," Jaina told her. "How've you been?"

Kate had meant to show up on the island earlier in the day, and maybe surprise Bod at work, but then Charmaine had badgered her into an emergency cravings grocery run, and that plan had fallen through. So, she showed up straight at the mixer, having ~~handwavily~~ pestered Mitchell into letting her stay the weekend at 71 Serendipity on the way over.

And now? She could mingle to her heart's content. And maybe keep an eye out for this lauded lookalike of hers, along with her friends.
