Homecoming Carnival Post II | The Park | Friday, October 21

[bigdamnprincipal]

To signify the start of Homecoming Weekend, the park had been transformed once more into a bright, noisy carnival for the students and staff, residents of the town and, most importantly, any alumni who'd decided to come back for a visit.

The weather was still a little unseasonably warm during the day, so there were plenty of cool treats for everyone to enjoy, and shady places to sit. If those places were kind of glittery, well, the alumni would have to admit that they'd kind of missed that sort of thing.

Food & Drink

[bigdamnprincipal]

The concessions were moddably stocked with all sorts of typical carnival fare, from kettle corn, sodas, and cotton candy, to old-timey taffy and sticky candied apples.

By the time Dante made it to the carnival, it was pretty late in the afternoon. But that wasn't going to stop him from digging into the food. So yes, he was over here, getting a ton of anything that looked sweet.

Given what happened the last time Jaina came to Fandom, Jag had come along with her, though he was off exploring the mainland while she caught up with people.

Though so far Jaina was mainly just drinking a coffee shed picked up earlier and was people watching at a table, looking for people she knew.

Tables

[bigdamnprincipal]

As usual, there were tables with blue and gold-checkered tableclothes spread out on this section of the grounds, with glittery centerpieces.

There'd been complaints about the lack of glitter last year from the squirrels, possibly, so appropriate measures had to be taken.

Lucille had picked up food and drink and found a table. It had glitter on it. They all had glitter on it. She did her best not to get any in her food, but it kept sticking to her fingers, and then on her dress. Lucille didn't look entirely pleased about this.

Leto had been looking forward to Homecoming, and so had Hania, who quickly had found herself some cotton candy. After speculating on how sugar could be changed into something resembling sticky sweet spice fibre - only without the cinnamon smell and with a more edible quality - the girl had remembered that there were people volunteering to be soaked in water.

"So wasteful," she had announced like a good Fremen, although it didn't sound very convincing.

Leto was so not taking her close to the water guns.

After his daughter had run of on some adventure of her own (hopefully not ending up upsetting someone too much), he leaned back in his chair, enjoying a very sweet drink and an equally sweet candied apple, while watching the crowd gathered.

So help him, now that most major crises were starting to die down, Peter had actual time on his hands.

He looked a little lost, sitting at a table in his fancy suit. Oh well.

Ino had made it to Homecoming, which vaguely impressed and amused her in about equal measure. Tseng had raised his eyebrow at her, but let her go.

She leaned against a table, surveying the glitter and the people around her.

It was strange. Silly noodled out to stand on her shoulder, a tiny birdy counterpart, who was just as interested in looking around.

Luke, Artoo trundling happily behind him, arrived on campus and made a beeline for the food. He took his plate of fried things over to an empty table and started people watching.

Rides

[bigdamnprincipal]

Wheeeee!

Rides: Carousel

[bigdamnprincipal]

It's a really rather lovely one, with unicorns and dragons and gryphons and pegasus and other such creatures, all chasing one another around and around and around into infinity.

Rides: Drop Tower

[bigdamnprincipal]

Pretend gravity doesn't exist for a few moments!

Rides: Ferris Wheel

[bigdamnprincipal]

For those who want a breathtaking view of the island without teaching themselves how to fly or something.

[bigdamnprincipal]

It's a small, unsteady sort of cart that carries you through the dark on a track while things leap out at you.

Throw the bean bags at the holes! Pretty straightforward, really.

Unlike most of the other games, it really involves more rolling than throwing.

... You can probably throw, too.

Games: Water Gun Target Practice

[bigdamnprincipal]

You shoot the water guns at the target, though you could probably shoot one another, sure.

The prizes are for shooting the targets, though.
