Homecoming 2022, Community Center, Friday Evening

[bigdamnprincipal]

Homecoming in November meant the community center was decked out in harvest-themed decorations for this evening's festivities. There were pumpkins that had somehow survived un-carved after Halloween, baskets of glittery vegetables (not for eating, please), decorative hay bales, and... a disco ball?

It's a dance, some things get dug out of the decoration closet no matter what the theme might be.

The food table was full and the drinks were un-spiked for the moment, so it was time for everyone to get their dance on!

Ugh. Prompto really needed to get off his phone. He should probably go help Apu out with some stocking shelves or whatever, but he'd reach a point in his research on a certain something that had sucked him so far down a rabbit hole, he was suddenly feeling overwhelmed and that maybe he'd gotten himself in too deep. What if Liz didn't like what he picked out? What if he was wrong about this whole entire thing? Why were they all so damn expensive?? How was he going to even afford it? Should he really be spending money on something like that when he was going to have a kid he was going to have to support?

So there would be a lot of fidgeting and worrying and stressed out energy from the man behind the register that day, and a lot of distraction, and maybe a few attempts to hype himself up that it would be worth it. He would just....really have to start pushing his freelance work to pick up a good amount of photography gigs, really amp up his stock shots and the website, maybe even talk to Summer about getting a few....dozen advances on his paycheck, or work out some kind of loan...

There was....probably...something going on in the store, thanks to Apu, but Prompto barely even noticed it if there was.

The Magpie Emporium; Friday, 11/11.

Yes, everyone in Graham's DnD group were pretty much big nerds, but they probably weren't big enough nerds that they would skip out a homecoming dance at their school just to play DnD. At least Graham wasn't! He loved big parties and dances and didn't really even know what a homecoming was, so he was really excited about it and had every intention of going, so he gave everyone a head's up that the game was probably off for the night, but, if they all went to the dance and it ended up being boring, then they could just play there instead!

He did not imagine it would be boring, though!

But, of course, he did still have to work that day, so he came in to see if there was anything in particular that needed to be taking care of, before chatting it up with Saffron (the conversation was very one-sided, but he was used to that), and then, unable to help himself after reporting about it on the radio, he just had to check out those winter-holiday themed games. The fact that the notes said that Steph had been adamant against them made them seem a little bit forbidden, so that naturally made them far more interesting to him than they would have been otherwise.

The Magpie Emporium is open!

Pizza Planet, Friday

[carbsliftthespirit]

The kitchen appeared to have finally worked through the potato situation, so this week Raiden was back to choosing the specials based on nothing but whim, and for some reason he was really feeling New Orleans-y today.

No, New Orleans wasn't known for their pizza. Don't be silly.

Specials
Holy Trinity Cajun Chicken Pizza
Crawfish & Andouille Sausage Pizza
Oysters Rockefeller Pizza

Yes, Oysters Rockefeller were a New Orleans original, invented at Antoine's in 1889. Didn't everyone know that?

Pizza Planet is open.

The Arms Hotel, Friday

With everything else done for the day, Mary thought she'd check up on her email in case she missed anything important. Of course, trying to find the important emails lately was like searching for a needle in a haystack. But lately, the contents of her inbox seemed to arise to a whole new level of craziness. "Gunther, please tell me you did not use my email address to subscribe to a mailing list about how to train gremlins to do chores!" she yelled over to the kitchen.

When there was no response, Mary left the desk and poked her head into the kitchen, where she found Gunther twirling like a ballerina while a gremlin wearing an apron scuttled away into the pantry.

The Arms Hotel was open, though room service would be temporarily unavailable.

Fandom Fire Station, Friday

[designateddadfriend]

There was a whole lot of nothing going on at the fire station today.

A suspicious amount of nothing.

"Okay, there's no beeping," Travis mused aloud. "No confetti. No phone calls. No illusory fires or weird voices. No squirrels or raccoons or bags with words on them or anything. I should be happy."

He sat down in the chair at hte front desk and heaved a sigh.

"And yet, I'm filled with dread."

Probie sat at his feet and put her head on his knee.

"Yeah," Travis said. "Good girl."

[idk. Open!]

The Devil's Nest, Friday Night

[my_own_advocate]

Did you ever have one of those days where you woke up extremely grateful for your job? No? Well, Lucifer did.

He was in great spirits as he entered the bar, and even greater spirits when he knocked over Tiny's elaborate pickle pyramid with a single swipe of his hand. "No," he said cheerfully, and swept towards the piano.

'Feeling Good', the Nina Simone version, it would be for the night. And many songs in its vein after.
