Fandom High 20 Year Reunion Mixer, Community Center, Saturday Evening

[fjordicswagger]

The bulky booze reserves Tamsin had reeled in during their last stop had no real end in sight. So great was their wealth that this time around, they'd actually just put wine and beer barrels out to function as tables across the community center.

The decorations were nice, though. Just a dusting of gold and blue glitter, nice tablecloths, and a wide selection of food. That was all you needed, right?

Arrive/Pick Up A Nametag

[fjordicswagger]

Just in case people might not recognize you without one.

Re: Arrive/Pick Up A Nametag

This Tamsin was most certainly twenty years older, but you wouldn't think so to look at her face.

She rolled her eyes as she picked up a nametag and pinned it onto her jacket. "So lame."

The years had actually been fairly kind to Kanan, all things considered. He seemed to be aging gracefully, with the exception of a few lines starting to show on his face and a few flashes of grey at his temples. But besides that? He was still in good shape, still seemed to get around with little difficulty. He was blind, not infirm. And even that couldn't stop him from wearing a lightsaber at his hip while he was on the island. There was no way in hell he was going to wear robes to go with it, though. Old habits died hard, and Kanan just didn't see the point.

He also didn't entirely see the point in the nametags - either people would know him or they wouldn't - but he'd agreed to wear one regardless.

Edward had half contemplated the notion of avoiding his fancy dress at all. Perhaps it was that he had actually internalized more posh git than he was comfortable to admit, or perhaps it was just that he liked these clothes - but he found himself wearing a fine suit indeed when he arrived at the mixer.

The fineness of the suit did not preclude him just sticking a nametag on it and calling it good, though.

Cassandra was not wearing formal wear. She refused. If she could avoid wearing gowns to Inquisition functions, she could afford to show up to this mixer in her thinly-armored casual wear, mostly leather and rough fabric.

Eggplant and black.

She ignored the nametags and clomped somewhat awkwardly into the room.

... Yeah, Jono had been living on the island fairly consistently for the past twenty years, but was probably going to need a nametag all the same, for the benefit of those who hadn't been.

If it just said 'Jon' on it, well, he'd always been a bit of a little shit. Time hadn't changed that in the least.

Roscoe hadn't had many clothing options in his old dorm room that he still found acceptable, so he felt underdressed in skinny jeans, a pink button-down and a sport coat. At least his teenage self had kept a decent selection of designer sunglasses to choose from, although the style felt a little dated by 2030s standards.

He sipped a mimosa and idly watched the rest of the alums mingling, looking for a familiar face.

You had better believe Sparkle was here, and he was even dressed up neatly, wearing a suit he'd tailored himself. Nothing was quite so sharp as a well-tailored suit, after all.

And yes, he'd even made sure there was room in his inside jacket pocket for a package of sparklers. Because some things never changed.

Re: Arrive/Pick Up A Nametag

[gavegoodface]

Face picked up a tag just in case someone had forgotten how rakishy handsome he was.

Minako might be twenty years older, but you wouldn't know just by looking at her that she was any older than a college student. Though the magical aura that would be visible to anyone with sensitivity to that sort of thing was well and firmly ON, and much more powerful than anything most college students could contain.

The joys of immortality.

Still, she grabbed her nametag and pinned it to her sundress, just for people she hadn't met yet.

Leda limped up to the desk, cane in hand and scanned for her name. Aha.

"Now for my next trick," she muttered, "Doing this one handed."

Re: Arrive/Pick Up A Nametag

[sharp_as_knives]

Hannibal was here, looking not appreciably older than he had since starting at the school, though the cut of his suit had changed - fashion marched on.

He was not wearing a name tag. If anybody didn't know him by now, they could ask. He wasn't getting gum on his lapels.

Re: Arrive/Pick Up A Nametag

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

Yes, Robin was wearing a Mr. What 50th Anniversary t-shirt to the reunion. It gave him something to pin his nametag to didn't it.

Isabela skipped the nametag part because, honestly, pirate. She was hard to miss.

Re: Arrive/Pick Up A Nametag

[intotheout]

Gratuity had swung through Fandom a handful of times while travelling for work in the last few years -- Portalocity especially loved it for layovers -- but she hadn't been out and about to explore in ages. The glamorous life of a multiversal field anthropologist led to precious little alone time, so she usually spent her layovers hiding out in a suite at the Arms, talking to as few people as possible.

But she was on vacation, today, her first one in years. So she grabbed a nametag, slapped it onto a culturally appropriate location (pleased that in this world that wasn't the forehead), and looked around for anyone worth talking to. Who wouldn't make her reach reflexively for her recorder.

Eliot added "not Jr" to the end of the "Spencer" on his nametag. It wouldn't be the first time he'd had people mistake him for his own son.

He'd considered actually wearing a suit to this thing to make himself look at least a little older, but then people really wouldn't recognize him for who he actually was. Besides, jeans and tshirts were totally timeless.

Right?

Re: Arrive/Pick Up A Nametag

[kenselvren]

Jalian had not been planning on coming here. She certainly had not planned on waking up in her old dorm room. This island!

Fine. She was here, and she would cave to its whims for the weekend, and then go home.

Her name tag said simply, "Jalian". If anybody needed to know more, they were stupid enough not to warrant her attention.

Bob was wearing a nametag. All his years on this island, and the occasional things it managed to produce that he could actually touch never got old.

Re: Arrive/Pick Up A Nametag

[crimson_sister]

Oh, the nametags. Lucille attached one on her dress, careful not to damage the fabric. It was one of her favorites. Her gaze wandered around the room as she looked for familiar faces.

Re: Arrive/Pick Up A Nametag

Crazy Apple, and she was definitely Crazy Apple at the moment, probably did as much to make Ringo hard to recognize as the twenty years. She was still short, and curvy, and in rather ridiculous shape, but her expression was hard.

It'd been a while.

Still, she picked up a nametag and carefully wrote "Ringo Noyamano" on it. Because she was here for Ringo. Ringo didn't get a lot of time to interact with people, anymore, and she was finding it harder and harder to just be Ringo anymore.

Re: Arrive/Pick Up A Nametag

Leto ignored the nametag. He hadn't changed in the last 20 years, apart from the wormlike skin that had gradually been spreading up around his neck and half of his cheek. Dressed in the clothes of an Emperor (which was a lot less extravagant than one would expect, considering Dune fashion in general), he looked for familiar faces.

Food/Open Bar

[fjordicswagger]

No, seriously. There is a lot of booze.

Re: Food/Open Bar

[rebelseekspizza]

At some undefined because certain people aren't around yet point in time, Dante arrived, having somehow managed to piece together enough money to buy something appropriate - by someone's standards, anyway - that actually fit him.

He picked up a nice, cold glass of tomato juice at the bar, leaned back, and eyed the floor.

Dance Floor

[fjordicswagger]

Now starring a greying DJ in a beanie playing Best of the 10s.

So, you know. Oldies.

Re: Dance Floor

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

Dancing!! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghb6eDopW8I)

Okay Robin may be singing along while cutting a rug as well.

Dark Corners

[fjordicswagger]

These days, the decorators actually go out of their way to make sure a few artful shadows fall in the right places to accomodate the brooders.

Re: Dark Corners

[suitably_heroic]

"Home sweet home," Atton muttered as he parked himself in the shadowy area.

He'd gotten hit upside the head last night. He was going to swear up and over that it'd been in some combat engagement, and he had not at all not been paying attention when one of the 10-year-olds had decided to test his reflexes by throwing a lightsaber at his head.

(See, this is why he had never wanted a Padawan.)

OOC

[fjordicswagger]

Ping heeeeeeeere if you need anything.

Re: OOC

[not_a_moonie]

I need to express how considerate it was of Zoe Kravitz to have a mom who a)acts and b)looks quite a bit like her. It makes iconing this event so much easier.

But that's not what you meant, is it?
