Homecoming 2017, Community Centre [Saturday Evening]

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.

"Aye, to my Caroline," Edward said, his mouth curving. "We've had a bit of a falling out recently, but it'll be all right."

A lot of useless and unbidden bits of advice sprang to mine, but Kathy wasn't so arrogant as to think Edward needed her input on a situation she literally knew nothing about. See? She was maturing. "I hope you get it all worked out again soon," she said with all sincerity.

Well, mostly sincerity and a little bit of humor. "Maybe bring her a starfish barrette? Nothing says 'I love you' like an abundance of glitter on a random sea creature."

"When I get back from the high seas, I hope to be able to afford a bounty of glittery starfish," Edward said, smiling faintly. "That's my way to her heart."

"Who doesn't love a whole bucket of glittery starfish?" Kathy asked. "Bedazzled sea creatures are the way to every woman's heart, I'm sure."

At least, she was hoping he was making that joke and not suggesting that this Caroline was only in it for the money.

... No, not at all. Caroline was the opposite; she wished for Edward to fixate less on the money, but Ed was a fool and a stubborn soul.

"Perhaps I'll even toss in some glittery lobster, just to show I'm not a one-trick pony," he said. "Speaking from such experience-- might you have found someone to shower in bedazzled starfish, if I may ask?"

Good on her! Listen to your wife, Edward! You know, while you still had one.

"I, uh, have," she said, blushing. Why was she blushing? It was a mystery for the ages. But here she was, flushed cheeks, dopey smile and all. "Err, two such someones, in fact? You used to hang around with Anders, right?"

"...Yes?" Edward said slowly.

He and Anders had had some confusion about Anders' love life, once upon a time. Though Ed was generally happier not thinking about it.

This was probably not helping any.

"He, and...I don't know if you ever met Dante?...and I are together. Have been for a few months now. At least officially."

Before that, well, it fell under the heading of 'It's complicated.'

There was a long pause. "I see," Edward said. "As long as you're all happy, I suppose."

He was trying, but some things just didn't happen in the world he came from.

(That would change once he got to the Caribbean, though not for him personally.)

Kathy was trying to keep a straight face at his obvious consternation, but it wasn't going well. "We are," she assured him. "A bit unconventional, but hardly the weirdest thing to happen on the island."

Edward let out a somewhat uncomfortable chuckle. "I can hardly argue with that," he said.

"You know that Parker's with Hardison and Eliot, right?" she said brightly, remembering how fond Edward had been of Parker.

"Oh," Kathy said, suddenly feeling sheepish. "Uhh...yeah? For a couple of years now. They're ridiculously happy."
