Parents Weekend Meet & Greet, Friday

It was nice for an October Friday, wasn't it? The leaves were falling artfully, and there was a slight chill, but it wasn't so cold that it would leave anyone shivering. And if, for some reason, they were, well-- the hot apple cider stand near the edge of the Park would probably help.

There was a merry banner in Fandom's colors floating above the picnic tables, reading--

PARENTS WEEKEND 2024! WELCOME!

-- and a squirrel band was playing interpretations of modern pop songs on very small squirrel instruments under one of the trees.

Welcome, parents and other friends and family.

[[ ocd up! you're all good to go with your apps ]]

Go grab a name tag!

There's a bounty of autumnal treats, from cookies to PSLs, with as the center piece that nice hot cider stand. Mmm.

Of course if you'd rather just mill around and talk, that's fine too.

Secret character crossover OOC.

If anyone had been near the playground a moment ago they might have noticed the sandbox suddenly glow and a man suddenly appear out of nowhere.

It didn’t take him long to spot the party, what with all the people milling about, but the scowl on his face deepened when he saw the name tag sitting on the registration table.

“Balls,” he muttered.

With a resigned sigh, he slapped the "Hello, My Name is Bobby Singer" tag onto his shirt.

“Guess somebody knew I was coming,” he grumbled, shaking his head. “'Cause I sure as hell didn’t.”

Dean was never one to pass up a free meal. Or really any meal. So he was sitting at one of the tables, his plate stacked high with food and a separate plate with three slices of pie on it.

Say what you will about Dean, he knows how to enjoy food.

Oh, now, what an absolutely fascinating place this was! The Great Kenneth Haight (Next Rightful Ruler of Limgrave) was practically stunned with just how lively (and glittery!) it all was, to the point where he'd almost, briefly, slightly, forgotten what had lead him here in the first place!

"Ah, yes!" he declared to himself. "The demi-human!"

With his marveling now out of the way, he considered the park and the fact that it seemed to be his best bet in finding someone who might help him with his task, and, with a confident and dramatic stride toward the center of it, he cleared his throat and called out, "Hello! Hello, there! Greetings! Is there anyone here who might be able to help? Someone who might be interested in assisting the Great Kenneth Haight? Servant to the True Order, and Celebrated Repudiator of the False! O Erdtree! Grant me succour!"

There, now. That should do it. With those accolades, no doubt, these people, whoever they were (poor things, without even the glow of the Erdtree to comfort them!), would come rushing to provide him aid!

"Damn boy," Bobby said approaching Dean with a giant smirk on his face. "I know you eat like a horse but that's a lot even for you."

Charlie's Aunties were absolutely here and checking out everything and everyone.

Dean nearly choked on his sandwich. Coughing, he stood up in the table in amazement. "Bobby?"

Approaching the registration table in a clatter of armor from the lovely blacksmith back in Daventry playing quite hard to get in refusing him business to grease and refit all these creaky joints (saucy minx! She'll come around eventually, no doubt just waiting for the right time to truly pounce!), ~Whisper~ chuckled to himself as he looked over the nametags to find his own.

"Ah-ha!" he declared, seizing it up and holding it up to inspect and admire it. "There you are, you dashing fellow! Have no fear, everyone!"

He peeled off the backing, slapped it onto his chest, and struck a dramatic pose.

"~Whisper~ is here!"

His attention then shifted, a moment later, to another familiar name, and he picked up that nametag as well, to hand it over to his friend.

"Ah, yes, and you're here, as well, Aaron," he said, despite the fact that the nametag he was holding out clearly said 'Acorn'.

But Acorn wasn't there, much to Whisper's surprise and his head swiveled back and forth a little bit to try and spot him, which really shouldn't be that hard, the man was rather hard to miss!

"Hello, son," Bobby replied with a small smile. "I-"

Charlie's Aunties had gotten food - Gwen more than the others and were roaming about.

Auntie Jane was arguing with Auntie Muriel over who got which room at the Inn. Protip? Auntie Jane was going to win. Always.

Auntie Gwen and Auntie Carmen were checking out any available men or women at the picnic. What? It was going to be a long weekend and Charlie only required so much watching.

Sorry Bobby, whatever you were about to say was not going to happen as Dean was now throwing a splash of holy water in your face by his ever present flask he kept on him at all times.

Bobby should have seen that coming. He sputtered as he wiped the water from his face. "Really, Dean?"

Dean was ignoring you as he splashed himself with holy water and then pulled out a pocket knife from his pocket and proceeded to do a light cut on his arm showing a thin line of red blood.

"You know how this works," Dean said sternly as he then offered the knife to "Bobby".

Bobby let out a sigh of exasperation as he took the knife.

"Fine."

And mirroring Dean, he did a shallow cut across his arm and held it up for Dean to see. "There? We good?"

Someone skipped right on past the registration because the glue on the back of those name tags were just hell on his delicate skin.

"You know, I said the multiverse was a miss and I stand by that," Wade stated to just the world at large. "But damn do I have a weakness for a good apple cider. Fandom, you did it again! I'm not even mad we're not on LiveJournal anymore!"

And now there was a smile as Dean immediately went to embrace the old man.

"Better than good!" Dean declared giving Bobby a hearty and manly slap on the back as he hugged him. "What are you doing here?!"

Arden was just hanging around drinking a mug of hot cider and hoping that she didn't look too awkward as she, y'know, waited to talk to other people's families.

Maybe if she stood here very still, no one would notice her? Like, everybody knew that families tracked by movement, like velociraptors or something...

Oh goddess, even her internal monologue was cringe.

Well, there was one person kind of edging closer. "Um, excuse me?" she said. "Did I hear you say Erdtree?"

Arden, you knew better than to talk to crazies. That was how you'd end up trying to chitchat with Deadpool.

Even though he knew it was pretty pointless, Prompto really couldn't help, every once in a while, taking a moment to look around and hoping to see a few familiar faces from what felt like a long-distant past, but he knew he was just torturing himself with thoughts like that. Still, HB and Broom were going to be here, so naturally, coming over to the meet and greet to....well, greet them made sense. But of course Noctra wanted to check out the food and snag a few treats for herself, which honestly was a good idea so she didn't get too cranky before they arrived. Prompto led her to the table, picked her up, and let her peruse a little before picking out a few things on a plate and going to go find a spot to sit and munch for now.

"It's parents weekend, you idjit," Bobby said giving Dean a manly backslap in return before pulling away to inspect his friend. "Jack thought you might like to see a friendly face and I won the lottery."

Hellboy was pretty sure that a name tag was rather useless for him but he picked his up that just said Hellboy and put it on.

Dean let out a chuckle and shook his head. "He'd be right," Dean said shaking his head in amusement. "Well sit down! How the hell are you?"
