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.

"What, students around here too shy to throw a few toys on a shelf?" Reno smirked a little at that. "Though hey, good to know you're hirin'. Maybe I'll keep you in mind if I ever end up in this neck of the woods again."

Kathy laughed. "They all skitter past with their eyes averted," she said. "On the other hand, I've got a few ideas for a discrete internet service so they can shop on their phones and never have to set foot in my sordid little store."

Dite's was actually very nice and rather tasteful. Ish.

Reno laughed at that.

"Shit, knowin' teenagers it'd probably just result in nobody ever bein' able to get mail again without people speculatin' what's in the package," he noted. "Which could be hilarious all on its own, granted..."

"Which just means I should start sending perfectly innocuous packages shaped like dildos now," Kathy mused. "Cookies in suggestive-looking packages."

"People won't know if it's a package for them, or a package for their package," Reno snorted. "Shit, if that ain't the most beautiful thing I heard this week, I don't know what is."

"When everyone is a perv, no one is," Kathy said with a laugh.

"See, that's what I keep tellin' people," Reno chuckled, "an' for some reason, nobody ever listens, yo."

"I have been and always will be, your student," Kathy said with a flourished bow.

...Look, there ain't no way she was curtseying in her old junior prom gown.

"See," Reno laughed, shaking his head, "that's why I keep comin' back here. For all the friggin' respect."

And also at least in part because it wasn't a half-dead world where people still struggled to grow enough food across most of the planet.

"Definitely what Fandom students are known for," Kathy agreed. "Respect. Oh and politeness, that too."

Re: Arrive & Mingle [Homecoming 2017]

"And that," Reno said, "is clearly why all my teachers loved me."

No, Reno. Barney had tolerated you because he appreciated that you wore a suit, and Ghanima liked you because you were a fierce little shit who took all the right things seriously. Probably.

"I can only imagine," Kathy said, in the most dry voice she could muster. "It must be that."
