Homecoming Carnival, The Park, Friday

The weather had been kind, and it was just the right amount of cool for a Halloween-themed Homecoming carnival. The booths and activities were ready for visitors, and the Halloween decorations and spooooky music playing everywhere aimed to set the right kind of mood for everyone.

Yes, there was also black and orange glitter everywhere, because of course there was. Feel free to take some home with you, because it's going to be difficult not to!

"Multiversal hub." Miguel shrugged. "I try not to ask about the 'how' too much. Not that I'm good at it, but I try. Sign up to teach something, you'll get to use it. I'd say drop by a class, but I'm not teaching right now. The guys with the huge birds might not mind, though. Go back and listen to radio, you should be able to figure out when it is."

Sorry not sorry, chocobros.

"I think I will." Steph's smile was juuuuust a bit devious. "Just to make my bird nerd friend lose his mind."

"Bird nerd friend?" Miguel asked.

"Colorado park ranger, but he's also just a huge nerd about nature in general," Steph explained. There wasn't any mockery in the way she said that, just a sort of takes one to know one tone. "Reigning Haven Springs Birder of the Year for at least several years running. Birds from other worlds? I don't even know what he'd do with that revelation but now I think I need to find out."

Miguel laughed. "Pity he's not a marine biologist. You could show him Sidon." He looked around and pointed at Sidon, in case she hadn't met him yet.

She had not, as evidenced by the wide-eyed look.

"They... go to school here? Used to?"

"He used to go here, now he teaches," Miguel said. "He's one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet, if you can handle a lot of enthusiasm about pretty much everything."

Sidon was a lot, okay? He wouldn't give you the shirt off his back (if he had one), he'd harvest the fiber, make the fabric, and tailor you one. While smiling.

... and Steph thought the folks in Haven Springs had been nice. She might need a couple more weeks to settle in here before meeting Sidon.

"You get a lot of students coming back to teach weird-ass classes?"

Miguel thought about it. "Not all of them, but a few, yeah. I think the dean used to go here, too. If it's the kind of place you like, there are plenty of reasons to stay."

"That's..." Steph actually had to think about it for a second; she still had a little trouble wrapping her brain around the concept of staying in any one place for too long, but she was slightly more willing to entertain the idea than she might have been a couple of years ago. "Pretty damn unique, I have to say."

Miguel snorted. "So's Fandom. We've got magic and mutants and vampires and aliens and non-human sentient species and people with powers and whatever else. Not to mention all the usual human varieties. And none of us has to hide what we are. That's worth a lot."
