Community Center, Friday Evening

[shagthis.livejournal.com]

When it came to Fandom, the typical alumni mixer type events tended to include a few key elements: food, drinks, and dancing.

Tonight? Not so much. Well, there was still the food and drinks, and probably nobody would actually stop you if you decided to go ahead and get jiggy with it, but the setup didn't exactly lend itself to dancing.

The setup in question? Well, the room was made to look as if a giant slumber party were taking place. There were ample blankets and pillows, and a big movie screen set up on one side of the room in order to play appropriately-themed movies.

Arrive/Mingle!

[shagthis.livejournal.com]

Grab a spot of floor and a pillow or two...

Jaina hadn't known she would be able to come back until earlier today. Yesterday, her time, she guessed. Aaaaaand was this what a slumber party looked like? She was somehow new to this.

"You made it," Tahiri exclaimed happily, hurrying over Jaina's way. "We both did."

Re: Arrive/Mingle!

[solo_sword]

It had been a really long time for Jaina since she'd seen this Tahiri, so hopefully she didn't mind a hug. Because of course she shouldn't be used to those or anything. "I wasn't sure you'd be here," she said, smiling.

Re: Arrive/Mingle!

[weetuskenraider]

"I wasn't either," Tahiri admitted, and her hugging back was totally a sign of her minding, really. "But the opportunity came up, so I took it. I was hoping I'd get a chance to see you."

Okay, Angela wasn't completely unused to slumber parties? But the last one had been that one Karla threw with the glitter, and it hadn't been what she'd been expecting from tonight.

She wasn't one to complain. There were drinks, there were people, there were pillows... Which might come in handy if jetlag kicked in. She could work with this.

"Hello! How is one of my favorite ex-wives?" Romeo asked lightly, when he spotted Angela (and after a quick check to make sure Hannibal wasn't listening). "It's been ages."

Re: Arrive/Mingle!

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

No Hannibal tonight, he was safe.

"It has, and I am all the better for knowing I'm a favourite." Of course she was. Angela beamed widely at him. "How do I not see you at more of these things?"

Re: Arrive/Mingle!

[withoutverona]

"Probably because I haven't come to one in a while," Romeo admitted. "Though if you told me you'd be at them, I might come more often."

More seriously, he added, "Mostly, it's school, and Tokyo's a long way to come from."

Re: Arrive/Mingle!

[withoutverona]

Romeo was finally over his cold, and it was his first weekend free of school in months. Spending it in Fandom seemed like the right thing to do.

He didn't plan on sleeping in the community center, but that wasn't going to stop him from grabbing some snacks and claiming a convenient space to sprawl on the floor.

Re: Arrive/Mingle!

Tahiri was kind of amazed she'd actually managed to get time off for this, but she had, and she'd take it, no arguments.

. . . a slumber party?

She wasn't even trying to hide a little grin, even though she was slightly worried about running into a certain tiny best friend of hers.

There were a handful of Force presences that Anakin could sense even without trying, and from a long distance away. When two of those were right there on the island? There was absolutely no way he wouldn't have noticed, and he took off like a blaster bolt for the community center.

Spotting a very familiar head of blonde hair and bare feet, he made his way over, knowing he couldn't sneak up on her -- she could sense him as easily as he could her -- but trying anyway.

"Sithspawn," Anakin blurted out as soon as he got close enough. "When did you get so tall?"

Re: Arrive/Mingle!

[weetuskenraider]

"Anakin."

Tahiri had taken care to hide the scars on her forehead before she arrived, and she thought she'd been prepared for this, but --

Force, he was so young, she realized when she turned to look at him. She'd almost forgotten he'd ever been that little, before that growth spurt he'd gone on just before Myrkr.

She choked back a strangled little laugh, drew on the Force to calm herself, and smiled instead.

"Bet you don't remember what it was like to see eye-to-eye with me, do you?" she asked. "Of course, you hardly ever call when you're not in the same place I am, either."

At fourteen, that was the sort of thing she'd have kicked him for after saying it.

Re: Arrive/Mingle!

[nonelikemesince.livejournal.com]

"Do we ever?" Anakin asked, laughing as he darted in to hug her, hard.

Raven was glad to see a familiar face when she slipped into the community center. Look out, Tahiri, incoming empath.

Re: Arrive/Mingle!

[weetuskenraider]

Incoming empath who'd understand if Tahiri was just a little too glad for a distraction and a hug right now? Hi, Raven!

"Hi, Raven." Like that. See? "It's so good to see you."

Re: Arrive/Mingle!

It had been a while since Naomi had actually been to a slumber party but she wasn't going to complain, especially since she had the chance to visit Fandom for the weekend.

Re: Arrive/Mingle!

[trigons_child]

Raven really wasn't up for any sort of party, and she wasn't planning on staying, but since she'd heard there would be alumni in town, she had to go peek to see who might be there.

Re: Arrive/Mingle!

[furnaceface]

Jono really wasn't planning on spending the night. After all, he had his own bed back at the Boards, and he wasn't generally a people-person at the best of times.

But if there were alumni in town, he felt obligated to at least make a brief appearance. Mostly, it involved standing back in the shadows with a direct path to the exit. He really didn't recognize many of the people here, but at least this way he could tell himself that he made some sort of attempt at being social.

Okay, this was a weird theme for a party. Ben had just decided that as he skidded into the community center.

If you were Ben and felt the presences of Tahiri, Jaina and Anakin all in the same place, you'd arrive out of breath and slightly freaked out too.

Re: Arrive/Mingle!

[weetuskenraider]

Yeah, well, hopefully he had time to catch his breath before Tahiri came over to tacklehug him.

Not saying a word yet, just going for that hug.

Re: Arrive/Mingle!

[momslilassassin]

Ben held on tightly, falling back on old habits and cradling her head against his chest.

"Hey there."

Snacks & Drinks Table!

[shagthis.livejournal.com]

Popcorn, chips, sodas... and maybe something a little harder mixed in if you know where to look, as well as plenty of other moddable foods and beverages.

Watch Movies!

[shagthis.livejournal.com]

All sorts (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058440/) of films (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084695/) were playing, including that one porn film with the lesbian pillowfights that made it clear that whoever'd picked these movies just grabbed anything with 'slumber party' in the description somewhere. That one got turned off snerk rather rapidly, of course.

OOC!

Oh god Friday why did you take so long to get here?
