Harvest Hayride Party- Community Center- Friday evening

[ihavediabetes.livejournal.com]

Sure, there'd just been an event a couple weeks ago at homecoming, but uh, that hadn't gone exactly as planned. So tonight the community center had been decorated in reds and oranges and yellows, several pumpkins had been repurposed from Halloween to serve as decorations, hay bales (don't ask) and there was a large (glittery) sign reading

STUDENT COUNCIL PRESENTS
THE HARVEST HAYRIDE PARTY

Here you go, Fandom. A nice, normal start to a totally nice, normal weekend.


[Open to students, teachers, townies and alumni!]

Show up, say hi, talk about how glad you are nothing's going to happen this weekend...

So there'd just been a party a couple days ago, but Kitty was perfectly fine with showing up to another one. And wondering where they got hay bales. Could you rent those or something?

Tara had skipped homecoming because she had too many midterms to make jaunting across the country feasible, but the way she figured it that just meant she needed to go to the next dance. She scoped out the room casually, feeling a little strange to be back.

After spending most of her day fixing a droid, Jaina thought maybe she should be a little social. Besides, she kept having this little bit of hope that Ben might start showing up to these things randomly, so she could at least make an appearance.

Yeah, okay. So Kaidan really should get out more.

He slipped into the community center a short while after the party had started, and... stayed near the edges. It was loud (in more ways than one) and crowded - not exactly ideal territory for him.

"Are we lurking tonight?" Jaina asked. It was someone she hadn't actually met yet, she could say hi to the guy not really joining in.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[not_a_whiner]

"I--"

Okay, he hadn't expected that. "No? I just... like the decorations."

Kaidan, you awkward poodle, you.

Rilla had brought Jims with her and was looking around for people to chat with when she wasn't trying to get Jims to stop eating hay off the floor.

Sigh. Toddlers.

"Rilla!"

Who cared if they'd just talked to each other and seen each other the other week. There was still going to be an attempt at a hug.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[rilla-myrilla.livejournal.com]

"Eeeeeee! How was the party?" Rilla asked eagerly, giving her a big hug.

Considering Annie had just been here at homecoming, she really shouldn't have come back to town for this. But, see, homecoming had ended up being taken over by her being four years old, so it didn't really count, even if Portalocity refused to give her a refund for it. She decided that meant she got a redo.

She just wouldn't be able to eat for a month but you know what, that wasn't too different from most months.

Luke was back--there wasn't any news on C'boath at home, Leia was so pregnant that she wasn't allowed off of Coruscant any more and she'd told him if he stopped by one more time to "check up", she'd kick him.

So. Fandom.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[life_inshadow]

Tara circled the semifamiliar face for a moment before approaching. "Uh, hi, is your name Luke?" she asked carefully. "I think I met an older version of you last summer."

For Fandom, that was ... not that weird an opening, she figured.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke's smile was miles more open than the other Luke's had been. "Hi!" he said. "Are you a friend of Ben's, then?"

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[suitably_heroic]

Oh, look, was that somebody squinting at him?

No. It couldn't be.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Well, if it was someone who wasn't going to follow up via punching, it was better than homecoming!

Luke gave the guy a little smile.

Bruce arrived at the hayride, looking forward to a real visit back to Fandom. Not a night-long event that led to him going back to Gotham as a child, a state he was stuck in for nearly a week back home. Sometimes sped up time was terrible.

But it also gave him more distance from that event. This one should be more pleasant.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

There was a grumpy, grumpy Mord'Sith glaring at the hay bales.

Certain people could have just said she could go to this, they did not have to shove her through a portal when she wasn't looking.

Sam hadn't been able to unearth himself from his textbooks long enough to make it to Homecoming, but he'd gotten a message from Zoe that made it sound like that wasn't such a bad thing in the end. Still, he couldn't let an entire semester go by without a visit, so he'd planned ahead and made it here, only slightly distracted by thoughts of schoolwork left undone.

Food table

[ihavediabetes.livejournal.com]

There's moddable food and drink on the table. There's even healthy, non-sugary options because guess who had her say in that.

Re: Food table

[suitably_heroic]

Atton was here, of course. Eating. And leaving the non-sugary options for what they were.

Hayrides!

[ihavediabetes.livejournal.com]

One or two people at a time can take a rickshaw around the island on hayride around town. Don't mind the straw, okay, it's romantic.

Re: Hayrides!

[bigdamnprincipal]

Romantic wasn't exactly what Zoe was looking for as she climbed into the rickshaw with Grace for late establishy purposes shhhh. She was just grateful to be having a nice time with her daughter where only one of them was a child.

Dancing

[ihavediabetes.livejournal.com]

There's always music. Go cut a rug.
