For as long as Zoe could remember, she'd always had to be the solid one in any given group. When Wash had died, she'd known instantly that she couldn't let her emotions show in front of anyone but the ghost in her quarters. It was Mal's job to fly off the handle, to swear and shoot people, and it was her job to be a rock, and to bring him back to stability.

In Fandom, the situation was very much the same every time something terrible happened. Zoe knew that no matter how bad things got, she had to be strong, because falling apart in front of the students, or even the teachers, just wasn't an option.

Which, she supposed, made Anakin her Mal here, if only because imagining Deadpool in tight pants made Zoe's brain do things it oughtn't.

Cameron was gone. Her family was gone. Only Grace was left, and that was because Zoe wasn't letting her more than an arms length away. Her handwavey radio call for an emergency town hall meeting wasn't just about gathering information and rallying everyone together, although it was certainly damn time for that. Hopefully, it would provide a good head count for who was still left on the island. However many people came, it wouldn't be enough to make Zoe feel better, but maybe it would be a start.

Anakin came back from Connecticut with a new sense of purpose (and a deep hatred of the idiots who drove on I-95), several 2x4s, a hammer, and some paper.

A few minutes of banging later and Anakin had a giant bulletin board...thing.

In big bold letters he labeled one giant sheet of paper "CONFIRMED DISAPPEARANCES" and the other "RETURNING FANDOMITES."

He took a deep breath before scrawling information under the disappearances, then tacking up two dated photographs of the people in question on the blank area on the board he'd left for that purpose. For some reason it seemed vital that someone other than him remember what they looked like too.

He placed a piece of glass down over the sheets of paper (no use going to this much trouble if things would just get blown away or wet) and headed back to the trooper station to catch up on what he'd missed the last few days.

The day had dawned crisp and clear, but by the time afternoon had rolled around... it was really still kind of ridiculously warm for fall. People could probably get away with not wearing a sweater, even.

Which made rather good weather for a picnic, convenient since that was the traditional way of kicking off the Fandom High Parents' (and assorted other relatives, friends, acquaintances, or sometimes even enemies, but that was harder to fit nicely on a banner) Weekend. So there were rows of picnic tables decked out in blue and yellow, laid out with just about any sort of foodstuff one could imagine. And just in case there was any lingering doubt as to the purpose of the picnic, a glittery banner (Petra's work, naturally) adorned the registration tables:
WELCOME TO PARENTS' WEEKEND 2011! )

Although the weekend was almost over, the esteemed alumni of Fandom High were not getting away without one last get-together. The park had been deemed too cold for the event, so the community center had been set up again with tasteful blue and yellow streamers and real flowers on the tables, although there might have been a few paper flowers still lying around from last night too.

There was plenty of food just waiting to be eaten, and if someone asked nicely, they might be able to acquire a drink or two as well. It was five o'clock somewhere.

A white mist began to fill the woods, rolling out from where a medium-sized stone lay on the ground. The mist was suffused with a pale white light, slowly growing brighter.

The gate was open.

They came, walking out from the trees, insubstantial at first but growing solid and more real with each passing second.

They were here. The stone had kept its promise.

[They're here! There going to be is some OCD which no one is in any way required to use unless they want to. People can be drawn to the woods to meet their guests, or their guests can go somewhere else on the island and people can be drawn there, or their guests can come and find them wherever they are.]

The portal to other realities was still there this evening. However the purpose of the portal has now changed.

Instead of bringing children to the island, it was now ready to bring them home to the realities where they belonged.

You can love or hate the portal for this but in either case it's time for the kids to go home.

[Up early for SP and Timezoney goodness! It's your goodbye post to send the kids home. I've got my kleenex ready so have at it!]

Savannah and K-Mart had decided that taking the kidlets outside for awhile would be a very good idea.

They gathered up everyone and headed out to the beach. The way the girls thought, the beach would give plenty of room for running and playing...

...and maybe Storm and Alice-Claire would burn off some of that energy that they seemed to have an unending supply of.

"Can we call Daddy?" Storm demanded.

"In a little bit," Savannah promised. "He's probably not awake yet."

Unlike Savannah and K-Mart, who had been awake since four a.m. Johnny should be very grateful that Savannah loved him too much to wake him up at that ungodly hour.

"Storm, no magic in the water!"

She doubted that either of the girls would listen to her on that. She sighed and looked at LJ. "LJ?"

He grinned, already moving after the two girls. "Don't worry, Aunt Savannah. I'll keep an eye on my sisters."

Savannah and K-Mart collapsed on the sand after spreading out towels and blankets. It was probably going to be a very long day.

Eve was much happier now that there was no singing going on. Meant that she didn't have to be ready to facepalm constantly throughout her day. At least, no moreso than usual.

In a much better mood, she sat at the reception desk with a book and a really great cup of coffee. No creamer, even. Dale would be proud.

After spending the afternoon getting, ah, familiar with his scarf in the Biblical sense, Chuck decided to give Marion the night off and open up Caritas himself. It would give his scarf something to do that didn't involve sex and it would give him a chance to recover from the last few days. His face still hurt like a bitch.

"Chuck, Chuck? Can I play with Tino?"

Chuck placed his glass of scotch over his eye and gave his scarf a smile. "No, scarf. You don't know where that's been."

"Can you and I have sex again then?"

"Later, I promise."

Eve was in a decent mood as she opened the gallery, not too solemn but not too bouncy, either. It was just one of those middle-of-the-road kind of days.

Plus, hey, newbie shuttle! Newbie shuttle meant an influx of new people to get to know and terrorize. For a couple weeks, anyway.

After she finished with opening the gallery, Eve sat at the desk and started writing a list of notes for K-Mart about Savannah. Because if anybody could tell the best friend how to keep Savannah upbeat (or at least as upbeat as possible) now that Johnny was gone, it was Eve. And yes, she titled it "The Care and Feeding of Savannah Levine."

Eve got the gallery open on time unlike her mun and settled down behind the reception desk.

Life was good. Boring at the moment, but otherwise good. And honestly, boring was a damn good thing sometimes.

Yup. More Oregon Trail.

Eve had a headache that just wasn't going away. Not a migraine, just one of those really annoying headaches that stuck with you for a week. But still, it was preferable to last week and the constant jumping her boyfriend. She'd take it.

She'd be swilling coffee like it was going out of style, but she'd take it.

She might even manage to be cheerful.

It was the day before graduation. The day before pomp and circumstance, diplomas, smiling seniors and proud guests. What better way to spend that day then partying the night away? That's right, tonight was the night of the senior lock in! Many NPC workers had been busy in town, cleaning up and setting up an abandoned warehouse for the event.

Now, the front of the warehouse was lit up with neon signs and stanchions that would lead the seniors into a huge building where not one speck of floor space wasn't being used for something fun. There was loud music pumping through the building and strobe lights were swirling around the area, lighting up the room in blues, reds, greens, yellows and various other colors. Decorations of all kinds painted the walls, giving the room a party like atmosphere.

Of course, it would just be a regular ole party, right? Nothing surprising would happen, right? Oh, of course. No surprises. Riiiiiight.

The senior lock in was open and it was time for the seniors to get their party on!

For once, the week was quiet and calm and Eve wasn't doing five thousand things or fighting zombies or raising future children or anything else.

She was just sitting at the reception desk and playing yet another game of solitaire.

The Fruitcake exhibit was still going.

Instead of being excited about Valentine's Day being two days away, or even just doing her usual quick sweep through the exhibit, Eve was sitting behind the desk, head buried in her arms as she tried to ignore the Headache of DOOM that'd popped up that morning.

Eve had a boyfriend's birthday to go celebrate after work, so she was understandably a little bouncy as she opened the gallery, made a quick sweep through the exhibit, and then settled in behind her desk.

It was a relief to be able to sit for a while, honestly, after playing dodgeball. The one problem with playing mean was you tended to get it right back.

Candy... in the shoes.

At last she had nibbles for today. Private nibbles, that was. Charlotte would probably smack her for trying to put said candy out as nibbles for gallery visitors. And she'd kind of deserve it, too.

Yup, the exhibit was still going.

Eve checked the exhibit and settled in at the reception desk, several shopping catalogues open in front of her as she tried to work on her Christmas shopping.

Because face it, if she didn't do it now then she'd be doing it the day before Christmas.

Eve was pondering the holidays. She had no idea what she was doing for Thanksgiving and she really needed to decide soon. She also needed to see what, if anything, Adam was doing for the holidays.

She was still pondering this even as she opened the gallery, checked on the exhibit, and settled in behind her desk.

Ino… had the start of a Christmas list. In the sense that she had about a million people on it and was dubiously considering the fact that, seriously, what on earth was she supposed to get everyone at this rate. Sticking a Catchfly in her hair, and duly amused by the double meaning of it (as it meant both ‘youthful love’ and ‘I fall victim’), Ino smoothed down the over-sized shirt she was wearing (one of Kabuto’s, which was the source of her mood, really) and nibbled on the cap of her pen.

Maybe she’d just be cheap and get everyone flowers? Ino snickered. Only she’d know what they all meant.

Eve passed on her trip through the exhibit in favor of making a really, really strong pot of coffee. It was just one of those days.

By the time she settled in behind the desk, she was in a much happier mood. Such was the miracle of caffeine.

Shiny new exhibit, yay!

Eve flicked the lights on, made her customary sweep around the exhibit -- already getting plotty on which ones she wanted to con her guardian into buying -- and then settled in behind the reception desk.

Ah, work. How she'd missed you.

Harvey didn't have too much trouble arranging the brunch in the park. Between the help of the rest of the StuCo members and oddly enough, Marshall (apparently he had a thing for brunch), Harvey hardly had to do a thing. And isn't that what being president is really about?

There was a harvest theme in the tent, with the tablecloths and napkins all in reds, yellows and oranges. Marshall even hand-made the autumn-themed centerpieces on the tables. There was also, of course, every kind of brunch food imaginable set up at the buffet table. There was probably even foods there that didn't even qualify as brunch. Harvey had a hankering for pizza earlier.

A sign was posted outside the tent:

Welcome Parents, Relatives and Friends!
Enjoy Sunday brunch with us!

It was still a beautiful day and there was still plenty of wonderful food in the Park, welcoming visitors to Fandom Island.

By some act of Fandom, the weather was behaving itself. Any clouds or rain the weather forecasters had blathered about on the news seemed to have skipped over the entirety of Fandom Island. It was a perfect afternoon in October, just the right temperature in which to spend the day outside with pleasant company. Or even relatives.

A wide variety of sumptuous food was spread out on long tables at one end of the park. In the center were plenty of comfortable blue and gold tables and chairs perfect for sitting, chatting, and eating. To the other end of he park was the registration table where visitors could sign in and pickup their name tags.

Just above the registration area was a bright banner announcing the start of a hopefully calm weekend:

Eve didn't mind the boy!body, but she was quite glad to be back in her own decidedly female body. Or to have it back, rather, since she hadn't really gone anywhere. Whatever.

When Robin came into work, feeling all attractive and swaggery and boobless, she found a very disgruntled young woman behind the bar.

When she was done laughing, she assured him she'd be calling him Tina all night, and then wrote up a little sign.

Or free if you tell who you are right away, thanks


And with that, she went back to admiring her own reflection in a back of a spoon.

She might have been in possession of boyparts and not girlparts today, but that didn't mean Eve was going to shirk her gallery duties. It did, however, mean that she was in possession of a very, very large cup of coffee as she walked in.

She flicked the lights on, made a sweep of the exhibit, got the coffee pot going -- because did you really think one cup was going to get her through this? -- and settled in at her desk.

Eve was still playing a game on the computer because yeah, she'd chased skunks out of the gallery last week, she didn't want to be dealing with kittens today.

The new and improved poster was up in the window.

Eve had had to dodge drunken skunks the entire way to work, so she was in no mood for the one that had somehow gotten into the gallery.

"OUT!" She pointed at the door. "YOU. OUT."

The skunk whimpered and hid under the desk.

"No, seriously, out. I'll even hold the door open for you." She held the door open. "See?"

The skunk whimpered again and toddled its way drunkenly out the door.

Oh, this was gonna be a long day.

Anders's last shift, and he was feeling a little bit -- okay, a lot wibbly and sentimental about the whole thing as he came in tonight. He thought he'd even miss Tino's olive-throwing.

And then a hail of olives came flying at him, thereby proving that Tino had actually gone ahead and figured out how to construct an olive trebuchet . . . and he wasn't so sure about missing that bit any more.

At least he had the consolation of making Tino clean up the mess.

All things considered, Robin was still a little sore from the weekend. The downside was that she couldn't drink (or, well, she really shouldn't because she'd get Disapproving Looks.) The bright side was that she was on painkillers still, so she really didn't care.

Savannah was once again at the store.

She had spent the early morning after coming back from the beach cleaning and rearranging the entire store, and now she was sitting behind the counter with an extra large coffee and a notebook. She might have been making a list of things from Benecio... or writing notes about the Cabals.

Lacey had, in fact, not budged from Caritas all night. Only part of this had to do with her not wanting to risk a trip home with the havoc in the streets, though; a good chunk had to do with the fact that she'd quite frankly been too soused to find her way to the door even if she had wanted to head for home.

So now, hours later, she and Tino were sprawled out on couches in the lounge, engaged in a fierce and completely non-riveting Battle of the Hangovers.

Shame neither of them was particularly conscious enough to appreciate the suspense.

Not that there was much suspense anyway.

So they were still in France. Eve was contemplating whether or not to go out and get drunk after work, just because she'd never gone drinking in France before.

As she opened the gallery -- with the no longer quite as appropriate exhibit -- she decided the whole drinking plan wasn't a go.

After that, she settled behind the desk and used the internet to start pulling together a list of stuff that would be good to try before the island skipped off on its merry way again. If it did.
