To signify the start of Homecoming Weekend, the park had been transformed once more into a bright, noisy carnival for the students and staff, residents of the town and, most importantly, any alumni who'd decided to come back for a visit.

The weather was still a little unseasonably warm during the day, which was probably good news for everyone potentially getting wet, and there were plenty of opportunities for fun and personal enjoyment... whatever your definition of that term might be!

No, the bar did not cease to exist once the dates were done. It ceased being an open bar, though, but that was okay, you had money, right? Come on, buy your favorite date another drink! Don't be stingy!

Mike was even there behind the bar to give recommendations. Or a chance for an impromptu extra three-minute date. Because, dammit, maybe he should've participated.

Anyway. There were still drinks. All was right in the world.

A sign was posted at the front door:

Caritas Presents:
3 MINUTE DATES

Unlike most 3MDs, there didn't seem to be a host. The zombies were just set up, all quiet, when the lights went out.

After a few moments, music started to play. A man's voice started to sing "Ooooooooh" while backing vocals repeated "come on."

The first chorus played before a voice that might have been familiar to longtime residents came up and completely failed to introduce himself. "Welcome to Three Minute Dates. I gave this CD to Tino years ago, just in case this thing I started turned a sexy, legal to drink in the rest of the country 21. In honor of that, have an open bar, courtesy of me, to make sure my name is never forgotten. When somebody reads your names or whatever happens, pair up, get drunk, and let those beer goggles take over for three minutes until this sound plays."

The song cued back up, singing, "You're hopelessly HOPELEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!" It was, perhaps, a mixed message.

"Have fun. And try not to bang too many people at once, like I'm definitely doing right now."

Finally the lights came back on. Jessica turned to Tino at the bar, taking a free drink, and asked, "Who was that?" Tino just shrugged. He clearly knew, but he was admitting to nothing.

OCD starts now. If I fall asleep before it's done, don't mind me. I'll finish up when I wake up. ETA: That's happening. Final 2 rounds posted when I wake up. Feel free to start on the first 3 rounds now. FINALLY DONE!

If I made a blatant mistake, like skipping a character completely for a round or posting a pairing twice, feel free to grab me on AIM or in the OOC thread and I'll make a quick fix. Remember, attacks on your dates will get you teleported elsewhere on the island.

Also remember that most playing should happen on Saturday, but if you need to finish things up on Sunday, that's fine.

A regular post-dates Caritas post will go up Saturday afternoon sometime.]

After far too many ruined bottles of liquor, Frank returned to the scene of the crime against nature and alcohol.

"You chaos duck horse thing, I hope you're happy that you've driven me to this. I'm thirsty, and the only choice I have left besides lemonade is to drink WATER," Frank yelled for all the park to hear.

He trotted angrily to the edge of the water, dipped his mouth in, and was surprised and horrified to see the entire pond turn a faded yellow color. Sure enough, the entire pond was now lemonade.

"This wasn't funny before and it's somehow even less funny now," Frank muttered.

[OOC: For interaction this time, sure, but with maaaaassive SP warnings.]

Frank	Frank generally didn't like the outdoors, but whatever. He was a pony now. If he was going to drink, he might as well do it over by the duck pond, out there the air was, ugh, fresh. And the ducks were, UGH, present. But he had a martini in his hoof and he wasn't going to question how that was even possible. "You know, being a pony isn't that bad," he said to no one in particular.
Discord	"That's the spirit!" said one of the ducks. An odd looking duck he was. He had horns, or one. And his wings looked a bit like an eagle's claw and a lion's paw. But it quacked like a duck and walked like a duck, and all the other ducks were cowering away from it like a duck, so it had to be a duck, right?

( It was not a duck. )

Over by the front door was a sign reading:

Caritas Presents:
3 MINUTE DATES

Earlier in the evening there was general milling about and Tino serving drinks and such, but then, just before 8, music swelled.

( I accidentally wrote an intro song for Frank to sing oops. )

"Now hit the gong, I'll be at the bar!"

A gong sounded - just as it would at the end of all rounds - as Frank left the stage with two empty glasses in his place.

The mayor had ordered anyone who liked party planning to the community center to, well, plan a party.

Just to make that point clear, she'd also pasted a giant sheet of paper on the front door, with the specific text from Special Collections photocopied up top, and a message underneath:

WE NEED TO WARD THIS STUFF OFF WITH A PARTY
A KID'S CHRISTMAS PARTY
MAKE IT GOOD
(DON'T SKIMP ON THE BOOZE)

[[ for team party planning! ~~wait for the~~ ocd up. ]]

Gwen and Mara were on a mission. A mission to get a terrifying-sounding drink. Hopefully they'd get there first, before the baristas heard too much of this drink order and lost their damn minds about it.

"I honestly don't know that I can say this order with a straight face," Gwen muttered, looking the list over.

After hanging out with dinosaurs for a week and having a lot of questions re: ethics, it was time to get back to normal. With a scavenger hunt. As you do.

People were to meet at Caritas in the morning, where they'd be given their teams and lists, and then hopefully they'd get around town without doing too much damage. Cross your fingers.

And Kitty or Tino or the flamingo would be at the bar pretty much the whole day in case of problems, and also in case of drinks. Though both Tino and the flamingo were steadfastly refusing to be involved in the scavenger hunt shenanigans, which marked the first time they'd ever agreed on anything.

The sky was clear and the temperature was nice, and the park was once again filled with tables and, hopefully, parents. After all, there was so much brunch food waiting for them, it would be a shame to let it go to waste. There was also a table exclusively for mimosas. Thanks, Frank. Also on that table were cards reading "If You Know How To Banish the Astral Projection of an Elder Demon Clown, See Frank Doyle." It was probably a joke or something. Don't worry about it, just sit back, sip your mimosas, and do what the big glittery banner said.

HEY PARENTS: HAVE SOME FOOD!

not_a_moonie

A meeting room at the community center had been nicely appointed for an evening show of students' work, with pieces hung on the walls and a small stage set aside for monologues and musical performances. The food wasn'tquite as abundant as it had been the day before, but there was still plenty of cheese, crackers, crudités and non-alcoholic beverages to go around -- plus some wine for anyone who was or could pass for 21.

And, of course, there was glitter on every horizontal surface. Some traditions were important.

There was a sign on the front door:

CARITAS PRESENTS:
3 MINUTE DATES

At eight on the dot, the zombies began playing lounge music, and Kitty stepped out onstage. After being here four years, being present for several of these things and even participating in a couple, it was her first time actually announcing this thing. Weird.

"Welcome to Three Minute Dates!" she began. "Hopefully you signed up for this, and if not, then Caritas is not liable for any discomfort, annoyance, or soaked belongings that may happen over the course of the night. When you hear your name, find the person you're matched with. You'll have three minutes to get to know them, and then there'll be a... I don't know, a gong or a buzzer or whatever, and then you're on to the next date, for a total of five rounds. If you like someone, the bar'll be open afterwards to get a drink and maybe get some more time with them. So with tha-"

And with that, an air horn sounded almost directly behind Kitty, from an overzealous zombie who had just learned how that worked.

"Oh my god. Oh my god, why did that just happen."

If you find something wrong, it's Nick's fault. Get him on AIM or the OCD and it'll get fixed.

It was the last day of the reunion and Jessica figured she needed to take a moment alone. Get some solitude, a place to be with her thoughts for a little bit, in a quiet place. The beach would work. Have some white noise from the water, what could possibly be more relaxing.

When she got there, food was already on the grill, the volleyball net was set up, and a pig was sitting next to a spit, eating from a trough. There had to be a story there. And wait, who started grilling food on a beach only to leave it, and a pig? If this was Fandom magic, it was really weird Fandom magic.

Anyway, alone-time apparently wasn't happening. She could settle for some BBQ as long as she avoided anything that might have come from that pig's family.

The Impromptu Labor Day Beach Cookout was on!

The strange spell lifted as the sun came down, and left dozens of gremlins looking confused and bewildered all over the island. They skittered home quickly to tell tales of their terrible, no-good-day. Soon, a decision was made, and lo and behold, just an hour after sundown, signs started to appear everywhere reading SORY and WE MAKE IT UP TO U, pointing helpfully towards a clearing in the wooded area.

You wouldn't be able to miss it. For one, there was loud singing and drums that were audible from quite far away, and for two, there were very large torches sticking out everywhere, casting a glow across the woods.

There were many gremlins strewn across the clearing, and they all looked Very Apologetic. And if the gremlins themselves didn't look apologetic enough, well, there were also tables with enormous amounts of food. That was how Fandom worked, yes?

[[ ~~wait for the~~ ocd up! gremlins party hard! ]]

Originally, this was going to be a much smaller event, but then Fandom had to be Fandom and Portalocity had to be Portalocity, and now Zoe was wondering if there would be enough food for everyone or if she'd have to get things from the local restaurants.

For the moment though, everything was set up nicely. There were tables and chairs set up with blue and gold tablecloths, each covered with glitter from years of use. There were balloons, streamers, and other slightly tasteful decorations, also covered in glitter from years of being stored with things that were also covered in glitter. Don't worry, no one had died from a glitter overdose yet.

Once the food was set out and the (non-tainted) punch was ready, it seemed like things were as good to go as they'd ever be. If things got too crowded, hopefully a fire marshal wasn't among the folks who had come back to town.

For some reason there was a vague syrupy sweet scent lingering around the sink behind the bar. Allie wrinkled her nose and moved down to the the other end of the bar. Let Tiny suffer. It was probably his fault anyway.
