Moon Landing Dance, Community Center, Saturday Evening

[whenshewasnice]

Notices had gone out to all and sundry, inviting both those who still lived on the island as well as those who'd moved away to come back for a dance at the Fandom Town community center, in celebration of the 43rd (give or take a day) anniversary of the original moon landing, as well as the wonderful summer they were having.

Once people arrived, they'd find the community center's auditorium decorated according to the theme of the evening. Silver streamers hung all around, and a few papier mache moons had been fixed to the ceiling. The lights were dimmed, and there were flowers – most white, but some of them colored silver – on all the tables, bringing the faint scent of summer with them.

And naturally, there were big tables full of food, like at any large Fandom gathering. There was also a bar, though those underage would have to content themselves with sodas and virgin drinks. Maybe they could get over their sorrow over that on the dance floor, showing off their best Moonwalk.

Everything was ready for the people of Fandom to have a good time.

Whether you're showing up stag or with a date, you can still admire the decorations!

Immediately upon arriving, Jeremy found himself craning his neck so he could look up at the moons hanging from the ceiling. And grinning a bit.

This theme? Definitely right up his alley.

This wasn't Jace's first school dance but the experience was still new enough for him that he was still a little wide eyed about it. Metaphorically wide eyed. From the outside he looked just as bored as ever.

What were these decorations?

In Bruce's time, it had been about six months since he'd left Fandom. He'd done a lot in that time, including refreshing his suit collection. The one he wore to the dance was brand new and very nice.

...Look, it wasn't the most interesting or important thing he had done, but it was still a thing.

He gave himself a moment to take in both the decorations and the company. It was kind of nice to be back.

It wasn't that Jo had been looking for an excuse to get out of the Roadhouse, but she had to admit a break for a couple of days from the awkwardness that had followed Jo's complete failure at normal college student would been nice.

The fact that Ellen had all but shoved her out the door while promising to look after Jet the second she'd seen the invitation was confirmation the awkwardness was mutual.

Of course this meant she was wearing jeans and a shirt since she hadn't had a chance to pack any really nice clothes. Thanks, Mom.

Frank was totally dorking out about the decorations, and occasionally fidgeting with his hands in big explosive gestures that he really hoped no one else saw.

His suit, while certainly not trendy or contemporary here in 2012, was brand-new, and he really hoped this evening wouldn't end up with a shirley temple spilled all over his sleeve. But... it was possible.

Priestly almost hadn't made it to the dance -- Jen insisted that any time he went to one of these, he came back "all weirded out" -- but he was here, snazzed up in a brown paisley waistcoat and a pair of pinstripe suit pants.

He'd wanted to go for garters, but Tish had insisted that was over doing it. She'd helped him dye his hair in purple and red stripes, though.

Every once in a while, Kerrigan liked to break her usual routine of slaughter and conquering by stopping by the island, poking her head in, and seeing if there was anything interesting happening that she might be able to use.

She arrived looking human, of course, red hair tied messily on top of her head.

Given the theme, Emma was dressed appropriately for the evening, complete with pretty earrings which reminded her slightly of stars, and she was ready to have some fun.

Ghanima's timing was utterly coincidental, as she had come to the island today today to submit her lesson plan for next fall. Still, this amused her Inner Voices, so she attended the dance, clad as Fremen with her hair down and water rings chiming softly as she moved.

Harper was glad that she'd had enough time to alter one of the boring dresses she'd picked up in Paris. Actually, that's because she had nothing better to do while waiting for her delayed portal. But for now, she was going to enjoy herself. Tomorrow, she'd go back to worrying about finding a way to get home.

Lion-o didn't plan on lingering near the entrance for too long. Once he met up with his date, he was heading straight for the food.

Hoshi couldn't help smiling as she checked out the decorations. Sure, she could have celebrated the moon landing on the moon itself, but she couldn't pass up a chance to visit Fandom.

The moon landing was interesting to think about, if you were Jack. It was part of the century he'd fast-forwarded past, and his grasp on the particulars -- which were different to his world anyhow -- was slight.

Still. It was a dance; one went to dances. He put on a decent suit and roamed the floor, looking for anyone he hadn't seen in a while.

Dinah showed up looking jubilant (They took down the Ventriloquist!) and bruised, bandaged, and casual. Hey, no point in wasting really nice clothes when you've got ban-daids all over yourself.

Party, food-- what's not to like? Kenzi wasn't sure how long she'd stay, but hitting the buffet table was going to happen.

Sam wasn't a huge fan of dances when he had to come by himself, but Peter's family stuff in New York came before random visits to Fandom, so Sam was on his own for now, looking around to check out the new and old faces.

Ronan had forgone a jacket tonight, deciding that the waistcoat was enough; he'd combined it with a pale purple dress shirt and a darker purple tie, foregoing his once-traditional glitter for a nice, clean look.

Isabel walked in the door and grinned at the decorations. It was definitely one of the more tasteful Fandom events she'd been at in a while.

As usual, there are heaps of moddable food, plus a bar (though nothing alcoholic for those under 21). Or you could just mingle, if you're not peckish or thirsty. There's plenty of room.

Sarah was staying near the bar. If you were shocked by this, then you were probably also startled by how she was wearing the only non-uniform dress she currently owned, with a small jacket that was light in material but dark in colour worn over it. And that she was sipping on her drink while watching the crowd with a critical eye.

She liked her habits, what could she say?

Shadowy Corners [Moon Landing Dance 07/21]

For those less inclined to mingle. You know who you are.

Natalie supposed she was one of the people the OCD narrative had meant, and she was fine with that.

Wearing the same dress she'd worn to the Valentine's Dance, she found herself a nice spot closer to the walls so she could observe the proceedings, a drink in her hand.

After having enough cups of water from the bar that he made sure were free of alcohol, Dave needed to use the restroom.

Once his mission objective had been achieved, he washed his hands. Hygiene was important, you guys.

Come on, you know you want to get your Moonwalk on to some moddable music!

Hobbes safely out of the way by the buffet (sorry anyone who wanted seafood, you had to get by the stuffed tiger) for the moment, Calvin was out there on the dance floor, getting down.

He was actually surprisingly good at it...if vaguely dorky.
