Parents' Weekend Meet and Greet- Friday afternoon- The Park

[not_a_moonie]

The day that would greet Fandom's visitors was sunny with just a hint of fall crispness in the air -- perfect weather for reunions, or for almost anything else. A large tent set up in the park had been decorated with balloons, streamers, and a few minor drifts of glitter. Of course there was plenty of food, as well as tables, chairs and shadowy bits for parents, relatives and friends who fancied a quieter start to their weekends.

A large banner hung at the entrance to the park read:

WELCOME TO PARENTS' WEEKEND 2014

[Registration & Security | Food & Drink | Mingling | Shadowy Bits | OOC. Have at it.]

Registration & Security [PW1]

[not_a_moonie]

Because without a nametag, how will anyone know who you are?

Weapons aren't being checked, but you might get a once-over from a security officer anyhow. It's all for the protection of your little darlings.

Lewis was wearing a bright smile as he stepped up to the registration booth to get himself signed in. Was still smiling brightly as he stepped away from the booth, with a nametag saying Lewis Chance on it, and, in smaller writing underneath, Good to meet you!

Lewis fully intended to be unapologetically pleasant this entire weekend. But really, that was just the way he was made.

Karl took his nametag, but only as a token against his own confusion. But an hour ago he had been running from the Templars-- and now he was at a picnic.

He wasn't complaining, mind you; but confused, yes.

At least he had that nametag.

Caius was still not particularly fond of nametags.

Still, he took one and wrote his name, Caius Ballad, on it. Then he stuck it in his pocket, which rather defeated the purpose of having a nametag in the first place.

At least they let him keep his sword.

May Parker and Peter Parker. As the Parkers put their name tags on, Peter couldn't help but notice something. "Aunt May, does this name tag look a little used to you?" he asked. "The writing looks a little faded or something."

"It does, actually," May said after giving it a quick look. "I'm sure it was just a marker running out. Everyone else's seems fine."

"I guess," Peter said, unaware that there had been a couple Peter Parkers before him in Fandom. But this name tag was only a couple years old. It didn't go all the way back. That would go past thrifty and into ludicrous.

After teaching the most AWESOME CLASS EVER! Archer headed over to the picnic to see if the booze was any good and if any of the soccer moms were single and hot.

His nametag of course said: "Sterling Archer: Master Spy"

Honestly, Alice had no idea what she was doing here. An invitation had arrived a few weeks ago and she'd ignored it for the longest time before her mother had encouraged her to go and get out of the house.

So, she was here, not really knowing what she'd see (he couldn't be here, could he?). But, she was here and feeling a little less tense and uncomfortable then she had since coming back from Wonderland.

ALICE HAMILTON was written on her nametag.

Marcus knew better than to come to some small island looking recognizable. This place seemed far removed from England, Hunters, Mercury, Black and White Witches but he wasn't taking a chance.

So, in a guise no one would recognize, he arrived, intending to look in on Nathan and to make sure he was surviving.

Kyle slapped his nametag on his chest and looked around, trying not to feel too weird about being a guest for his still high school aged best friend. It made him feel old.

But, he still wanted to be here to give Travis some semblance of normalcy.

Hector was smirking slightly as he sidled up to examine the nametags. As though he needed to debase himself with a nametag. For Christ's sakes.

He took one all the same, scrawling Prospero the Enchanter in swooping, swirling script, and affixed it to the front of his waistcoat. That would be sufficient.

Walt was armed of course but security seemed to be okay with it once his credentials checked out. He skipped the nametag and started scanning the party looking for one person in particular.

Ray didn't really mind having to wear a nametag and picked up the one that said RAY ALVARADO on it. That done, he started to look around for Alex.

Jeremy was so jazzed to see his friend Barry, he was bouncing on the balls of his feet. However instead of his name he wrote "Ima Cheesedick" on his name tag.

Jeremy was class like that.

Maud Pie's nametag had a picture of a rock on it. She blinked at it blandly, then picked it up in her teeth and twisted to place it carefully over the flank of her blue tunic.

Pinkie had mentioned that her school was full of things called "humans". Maud was unimpressed.

Sara was a bit trepidatious as she went through registration. Her coming along had been a last minute thing but Jeremy said it shouldn't be a big deal.

Though for some reason it felt that way to her.

"Don't worry, I know the drill. All my weapons are in the hotel room," Mira told the person at the table. And it was true for all of the weapons they were going to find. You might wonder where she was hiding other weapons when he was wearing skin right leather and not even that much of it. Pray you didn't find out. "And I'm gonna need a lanyard for my name tag. I'm not dealing with that sticky junk on this jacket again."

Re: Registration & Security [PW1]

The nametag read "Anna of Arendelle" -- it was probably smart not to say "Princess" on it, now that she thought about it. Maybe these people weren't royalty. Maybe it wasn't safe.

It looked so fascinating, though. So many people to talk to and try not to stare at, but did you see some of them!? Like, some of them were blue.

But none of them were the person she was looking for, so Anna was going to try to stare at all the amazing people later and keep looking for very pale blonde hair.

"Do I really need to put this on?" Sarah complained. At thirteen, she was very conscious of her dignity and nametags did not fit. "No one even cares about me. It's Parents' Weekend, not Little Sisters' Weekend."

It had been an easy trip in from St. Louis, and Grace found the nametags for herself and the girl with her easily enough.

Still brought a smile to her face whenever she saw 'Louise Holloway.'

Admiral Hackett put on his nametag and straightened his uniform. He looked over the crowd with a discerning eye. There were a lot of children here, presumably with abilities that defied understanding, and he gave a long, thoughtful moment to the possibility of recruiting some of them. Maybe later.

He gave the security guard a respectful nod and a brief smile. "Keep up the good work."

Food & Drink [PW1]

[not_a_moonie]

Moddable, plentiful, and only slightly marred with glitter. Nom nom nom.

Re: Food & Drink [PW1]

[thisisyourhome.livejournal.com]

Well, that was new. Lewis had never really considered 'glittery coffee' to be a staple of these afternoon events, but he was willing to try anything once. Mostly.

Ish.

Maybe if he pretended the glitter was just grounds?

Lord, he was good and ready to make a ritual two-dollar sacrifice while he worshiped at the church of Tim Horton right about then.

Mingling [PW1]

[not_a_moonie]

Meet your students! Or someone else's students! Or someone else's guests! Or random Fandomites!

The possibilities are endless.

Re: Mingling [PW1]

[thisisyourhome.livejournal.com]

After wrangling up a coffee that was going to have to do, Lewis set out to mingle, smiling pleasantly at passers-by, even saluting a few with the most sparkly coffee under the sun as a friendly greeting.

He wondered idly if Sparkle had anything to do with the glitter, but decided that he probably didn't. Sparkle liked a lot of weird things, but putting sparkles into people's food was a little too tacky for the kid.

Shadowy Bits [PW1]

[not_a_moonie]

For the less social or more sunlight-averse among the guests, and for students trying to hide from their parents.

Re: Shadowy Bits [PW1]

[fewer_explosions]

Was her mother here? Goddess.

Liara would not say she was proud about the way she was hiding underneath the picnic table. No, it was more out of shame, if anything.

But still. "Oh Goddess," she mumbled to herself.
