The Park, Saturday Evening

During the afternoon, workers had built up a large firepit in the center of the park. Smaller ones were built a short distance away from it, just to make sure nobody froze during the festivities.

There was ice on the pond, thick ice, and someone had set up a small booth alongside it renting out skates for the night. Closer to the bonfire, there was a buffet, partly already cooked (and with cocoa, too!), partly set up with raw meat, fish, marshmallows and vegetables for the more enterprising crowd who might want to roast something over one of the fires.

Lights hung in the trees, and the fires blared merrily. Fandom was ready for the changing of the years, and all were welcome.

"Canadian," Toby explained with a shrug. "They shove skates on our feet basically as soon as we can walk. This was my first time out on the ice this year, though, and we're right at the end of it, so clearly I've been slacking."

"I almost never get to go skating," Petra admitted. "I mean there are rinks in Providence, there's just never time." And then her mom had been sick for so long, and, yes. "I think the last time I went I was shorter."

"Well, hey," Toby spread his arms out wide, indicating the park. "Now you're here, where there's lots of time between classes, not to mention a few more months of winter... so, lots of time to work on not falling on your ass."

"That's true," Petra said. "Winter's been pretty mild so far, though...which is good, or yesterday we all would've froze. I got a job, so I'll have...a little less free time between classes."

"Where?" Toby asked curiously. "...Not that I'd come pester you while you're working or anything," really! His super-innocent expression was testament to just how sincere he was!

Petra gave him a suspicious look, then dropped it, grinning, and admitted, "Groovy Tunes, the record store? I'll be working on Thursdays. Seifer gave me a key and everything."
