Homecoming 2017, Community Centre [Saturday Evening]

[omgnochecksyet]

Just when you thought it was time for the island's collective consciousness to maybe move on from the whole sharkicane thing... along came Homecoming! Well, the theme was actually "Under the Sea", but like the Student Council wasn't going to have glitter-encrusted sharks feature heavily in the decorations? Please.

Of course, it wasn't just sharks: there were plenty of glitter-dolphins, and fish, and octopuses octopi octopodes too. Jellyfish-shaped lights hung from the ceiling, and strategically-placed LED projectors were set up to complete the underwater ambiance.

"The same as I've been for years," Atton said, and was mildly surprised by his own honesty, too. He'd blame Sia for it. "Working here, showing up back home to be the handsome hero, giving Mical all the noogies he needs. It's just... fine."

Not exciting or good, but not terrible either. He was tired of highs and lows.

"Circumstances, huh?"

"I was seen somewhere I wasn't supposed to be," she admitted. "I thought it best to lay low, and then I found out that it was this time again, so nothing stopped me from coming back."

"Somewhere you weren't supposed to be?" Atton echoed. "Sounds like you've been up to no good, princess."

"It is wartime. Things don't get done by not getting into trouble sometimes," she reasoned.

"Not making any headway?" Atton guessed.

"We are, but slowly. I don't do fighting as much as I do espionage," she said.

A pause. "And there's that old high school fantasy of you in a catsuit. Thanks, Si."

Re: Chaperones [Homecoming 2017]

[notconflicted]

She frowned. "That was a fantasy?"

Re: Chaperones [Homecoming 2017]

"No, no, no," Atton said, quickly and super-convincingly. "That just seems like the kind of thing a guy would be into, I'm just spitballing here, ha ha."

Re: Chaperones [Homecoming 2017]

[notconflicted]

"I entirely believe that," she lied.

"Thanks, I'm being very honest," Atton said, scratching at the back of his neck. "...So Cade hasn't changed even a little bit, has he?"

SMOOTH.

Re: Chaperones [Homecoming 2017]

[notconflicted]

"I haven't actually run into him lately," she said.

Sorry.

Re: Chaperones [Homecoming 2017]

"He's walking around without a shirt and drinking heavily," Atton tried. "... Ugh."

Re: Chaperones [Homecoming 2017]

[notconflicted]

"Of course he is," she sighed. "Can't say I'm surprised, unfortunately."

Re: Chaperones [Homecoming 2017]

[suitably_heroic]

"At least he's having a good time?" Atton said. He shook his head. "Ugh, on second thought? Let's not talk about Cade. Let's talk about how you're going to relax while you're here."

Re: Chaperones [Homecoming 2017]

[notconflicted]

"I have no plans. Did you have something in mind?" Sia asked.

Re: Chaperones [Homecoming 2017]

"I pick up a shift at the bar every week," Atton said. "I can show you all the new cocktails I've figured out."

Re: Chaperones [Homecoming 2017]

[notconflicted]

"I can stop by," she said. "It does feel like tradition."

Re: Chaperones [Homecoming 2017]

[suitably_heroic]

"Right, so we'll do that," Atton said. "Maybe I'll show you around before that. We had a whole shark... thing here a while ago, it's led to some changes."

Re: Chaperones [Homecoming 2017]

[notconflicted]

"This shouldn't surprise me, and yet it does," she admitted.

"Sharks rained down from the sky and ate everything," Atton said. "Only in this place."
