Parents' Weekend Meet & Greet! - Friday Afternoon

[bigdamnprincipal]

Hopefully, everyone in Fandom was ready for their guests, because everything was ready for the guests at the park. The weather was behaving (although it still wasn't fall, grumble grumble) and there was a tasteful amount of glitter around the food and decorations. The banner, however, was all glittered out as hung over the entrance:

Welcome to Parents' Weekend 2019!

Make sure to sign in and get a shiny nametag!

Metaphorically shiny, they weren't also glittered. That would just be mean.

Food and Drinks [PW 2019]

[bigdamnprincipal]

There was plenty of finger foods and cool drinks available, in case anyone had a long trip, or was just curious about what people eat here!

Just because you're here to see someone in Fandom doesn't mean you can't meet someone new too!

OOC [PW 2019]

[bigdamnprincipal]

Woo!

Gregg was, in fact, quite disappointed that his name tag wasn't glittered. Still, he supposed it would have to do.

Mae's parents couldn't afford to come down for the weekend, so as far as she knew she was on her own. Which was fine. She was just going to pile a plate with some food and laugh at everyone else having to deal with their family.

Janet sparkled enough on her own, thank you very much.

She very artfully signed her full name because this place was weird and odds were high on knowing other people.

Gregg knew Mae well enough to know exactly where to find her. When he did, he grinned and snuck up behind her.

"Put your hands up! You're under arrest for -- crimes!"

Mae's (already not small) eyes went huge.

"GREGG!!!"

Re: Food and Drinks [PW 2019]

[crimescrimescrimes]

"MAE!!!"

"GREGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!"

Barry had struggled with the name tags last year and therefore just completely bypassed them this year.

He also couldn't enjoy any of the food, so, mingling it was. Just a creepy, floating guy in a red robe. No big.

They might be at this for awhile.

Captain Raymond Holt looked over the name tags with a slightly raised eyebrow.

He was already wearing a name tag. It was part of his uniform. It was already very shiny.

He signed in and politely declined the extra name tag.

Duke had a plan. He'd show up to the opening . . . gathering, or whatever, play nice respectable teacher for any of his students' parents who wanted to meet him, eat some free food. And then head right back to the Rouge and head to sea for the rest of the weekend.

Seriously. He did not have a good history with people's parents.

Re: Food and Drinks [PW 2019]

Trevor had also planned on showing up to just take food and nope out. Because his entire family was dead. Also from the past.

So, that plan was going well. Or poorly because this was all terrible to watch.

Mistakes were made.

If you thought being king of a whole country would prevent T'Challa from checking on his sister, you'd be mistaken.

Because he was there to make sure things were going well in order to ease their mother's mind. And because this was a tiny bit of sibling payback for messing with him all the time. But, you know, with quiet dignity.

He eyed the offered name tags with something like concern.

"//I am not wearing that,//" Okoye told him in Xhosa. "//I am not here to make friends.//"

Ugh, the horror.

Katy would get to trying to find the best way to stealth on her big brother to surprise him in a moment; right now, she was preoccupied with trying to figure out exactly where might be the best place to actually wear her name tag, since her shorts and tank top, while being super cute, didn't leave a whole lot of space for rent.

Right smack dab in the center of her tank top would be a little too obvious. So she wound up smacking that tag right there on her short shorts on the left side. That should be fine.

Oscar would admit to himself (and probably only himself) that this was probably a terrible idea, something he ruminated on as he signed himself in and considered his name tag. He knew his daughter well enough to know that she didn't like surprises, but he also knew her well enough that if he'd have told her he was planning on coming for this weekend, she'd have completely skipped town. This would have been a whole lot easier if Julia had decided to come with him, but...well. That was complicated. He hoped he could avoid complicated this weekend. He mostly just wanted to show up and let his little Rosa know he was proud of her, following in his teaching footteps and everything, no matter how much she'd claim to hate it every step of the way.

"Oh, look, you guys," said Gladio, barely holding back a grin once they'd finished signing in, "we get nametags."

Re: Registration [PW 2019]

"Well, of course we would," said Ignis, who didn't hesitate at all to find his and place it simply on the brest of his shirt, though he did rather hope that whatever adhesive they'd used on the tags wasn't something that would leave a mark, but that was why he'd certainly not worn any of his best shirts today. "How else is everyone supposed to keep all the guests straights? It will at the very least make introducing ourselves a little easier."
