Homecoming Dance | Town Hall | Saturday Evening | Post I

Glitter encrusted moosen stood guard in the entry to the transformed Town Hall, reminding all those in attendance that the night was about all things Canadian. Or things the Student Council had deemed Canadian - plus a whole lot of glitter.

Sparkly red maple leaves and paper geese hung from irridescent streamers, setting off the food tables as very much separate from the raised dance floor in case the terrifying papier-mâché beaver didn't make it obvious that the timbits were for eating. Or for dunking in the maple syrup fountain. Beyond pure sugar, there were plenty of bite-size portioned food and nonalcoholic beverages to push the theme into the bellies of all, no matter how tight the dresses!

Beyond the dance floor, the shadowy corners glowed with the twinkle of glittery maple leaf garland and a Joni Mitchell inspired moose that had been strategically positioned to look rather tragic in its lyric-covered glory. Yes, glory. For the evening was to be glorious. Or at the very least entertaining.

Welcome to your 2011 Homecoming Dance!

And in response to that, Jono gave a light shrug of his shoulders.

//I work hands-on with students back home who are trying to make decisions like that for themselves all th'time, mate. I don't mind. It's kind of what I do. And for people who know what it's like to be hunted down for being what they are, no less. Finding a plan that works for them is... fairly important.//

"Sounds pretty full on," Jake said, perhaps looking at Jono a little differently right now. "You know, stuff like that could be useful here too."

//What, like some sort of Fandom High career counselling service?// Jono's eyebrows lifted just a touch at the thought. //I could hardly navigate th'whole of the multiverse the same way I can figure out safe places for people to sit low back home, but... I have to admit, I would run out of fingers and toes before I counted as high as the number of people around here that I've met who could have used it.//

"Hey, not everyone needs very specific directions. Just a nudge can help," Jake pointed out, shrugging his shoulder. "It's an option at least if you'd like to get back here for a while. At least, I think the school wouldn't be opposed."
furnaceface: (Wtf?)

//I... might mull it over, actually,// Jono decided, sounding a bit bewildered at the prospect. //It would certainly beat teaching, wouldn't it?//

"Uh huh," Jake nodded. "I don't think teaching is a good idea as long as anyone remembers you being on the other side of the desk."

//It would seem far too much like a summer workshop,// Jono agreed. //I've heard of some people doing it, coming back after just a little while, but I really doubt I could pull something like that off.//

For a start, most people around here would remember him as Sir Mopes-in-a-corner. And that was just difficult to take seriously.

"Yeah," Jake nodded. "I've got a teacher who used to go here right now actually. He's kind of insane. He can clone himself so you run into way too many versions of him in one class."

//That... would be Jamie Madrox.// Jono nodded a bit as he worked that one out. //We've got a version of him back home, too. He... takes some getting used to. But then, most people from where I'm from do, I think.//

"Yeah, but there's getting used to and then there's getting used to," Jake looked amused that Jono would so easily know who he was talking about. "I still haven't figured out what our class is actually really about."
furnaceface: (Casual duds)

Well, it helped that Jono had bumped into Madrox here on one of the school's earlier functions.

And that it was a pretty distinctive sort of power.

//Really? It's that bad, is it? Lord. I'm almost sorry that I've been graduated so long, then. It's a shame that I'm missing it.//
