Johnny had his bags packed up just like he did when he first showed up in Fandom: big backpack completely loaded up with absolutely everything he could fit in it. It was a little tougher this time thanks to the accumulation of a year's worth of stuff, but he made it work. Now he was just hanging out at the coffee shop, killing time until his portal showed up. How was he killing time? By keeping his coffee piping hot.

Look, you had your mindless time killers and he had his.

While he waited, he stared out the window. He was going to miss this place that only seemed to have action when he was otherwise preoccupied. And he was really going to miss all the girls. Some a lot. All of them at least a little. Man the girls here were hot.

So, Johnny didn't appreciate not existing this weekend. There were certain implications there with the fact that he apparently didn't make the twentieth reunion and he didn't want to think about it. And the best way for him not to think about stuff was to fly.

Well, he thought about some stuff. Direction, not burning things down, that kind of stuff, even though it was mostly automatic. But mostly he figured that he could just race around town, darting a story or two above the street, criss crossing every pathway until he was too tired to think deep thoughts. It might take a while, but he was willing to see how long it took.

Between the island being back to normal and Johnny having gotten over his flu, it felt like an excellent night for a date. Alana wasn't totally certain why they picked a date that involved the world's most hideous shoes, but she figured she'd look at it as a learning experience.

"So," she said, once her feet were appropriately shod and ugly. "Just for the record, using powers is cheating."

3 MINUTE DATES

Promptly at 8:00, the zombie band started playing music and the bassist lurched forward to do an interpretive dance explaining the rules of the dates. It wasn't long before Tino was pushing Johnny on stage while holding cue cards.

"Dude, seriously, I just came here for a drink. We just got back. What the hell?" Johnny asked. Tino held up a cue card. "I'm not dating. I have a girlfriend." Tino put the cue card down and held up a leather jacket and a pocket knife. "Hey hey hey wait. Where'd you get that?" With his pocket knife hand, Tino reached back down for the cue card. "Okay, fine. Just don't hurt the jacket. That thing means a lot to me."

"Ahem. Welcome to Three Minute Dates! If you're lucky, you might just get matched with me, Joanie Storm, come on, man, you got my name-- No, no, you're right. Joanie. Anyway, good luck and good dating." Johnny pointed to the assembled daters, mirroring an exaggerated point Tino was doing at that moment. "Seriously man, this is a weird level of dedication."

It was Valentine's Day, and love was in the air! Or pollen. Love pollen? Something like that, anyway. It wasn't like the holiday cared any, after all. Not when there was a dance to be had. And this year's dance had just the thing to take everybody's mind off of that pesky pollen!

That's right, dancing. Which, to the uninitiated, might seem a bit redundant for a dance, but Town Hall wasn't having any of that. The whole place was decorated to look like a dance club, complete with funky blue mood lighting and laser lights. Glowsticks were optional, glitter was everywhere and might or might not be an excellent excuse for boykissy, and the music tracks tonight seemed to be a selection of Marvin Gaye and Barry White music... Along with a selection of songs from Lords of Acid.

One did not question the dance. The dance knew what music the students needed today.

After a day with virtually no notes for radio, Johnny decided to treat himself and continue to enjoy a virtual day off. It wasn't like reading words out loud was super complicated on the worst days, but that wasn't going to stop him from celebrating the easiest day.

So like he said on his quick broadcast, he was at the theater, ready to watch some funny people being funny.

Terrible Employers 2

When he got his ticket, he turned back to the list of movies. "Huh. That says 'Terrible,' this says 'Ghastly.' Weird." And then he got some popcorn because that wasn't such a big deal.

[OOC: Open if anyone wants to distract Johnny from a movie! Or, I suppose, wants to see a movie independent of whether or not Johnny is. But why would you want that? Is it me? What did I do to make you hurt me so? I just want to understand! I just. want. to. understand.]

"I don't want to call this coffee 'lukewarm' because it's still not as bad as my 'lukewarm' review of Darby Donovan's latest play, but it still isn't good," Robert Benchley told the barista after sipping his coffee.

Yes, Robert Benchley, the humorist, author, and film actor from pre-World War II America best known for his biting tongue as part of the Algonquin Round Table and even better known for his fire powers as part of the crimefighting team, the Algonquin Four! A celebrated group of America's sharpest wits met daily for lunch at the Algonquin Hotel, enjoying barbs and bon monts, until one day... A COMET STRUCK and those present found themselves possessed of powers beyond the ken of mortal men! Powers as dazzling as their intellects! And so Harry Houdini, Robert Benchley, Woodrow "Woodpecker" Wilson, and Dorothy Parker fight ferocious foes! They're the Algonquin Four!

But this was only one of them.

"Fortunately I know how to fix your shoddy work, just like I'd fix Darby Donovan's even shoddir work; FIRE UP!" Robert Benchley's free hand turned to flame, and he dipped a finger into his coffee to heat it to a proper temperature. "Just don't let me see you heat anything up like this or I'll have to send a witty warning to the health department. Just like I did after walking out of Darby Donovan's play."

[OOC: Johnny is Robert Benchley, the Human Torch character from the Thrilling Adventure Hour's Algonquin Four. Open for coffee, insults to you, insults to Darby Donovan, and unflattering comparisons between you and Darby Donovan.]

If anyone had somehow been under the impression that the Student Council's glitter reserves had been used up at the dance last night, they would quickly realize their mistake upon arriving at the park. There were a few punkish decorations from the dance scattered around the tables - somewhere under the glitter there were, in fact, tables - and thankfully the weather was warm and not very breezy.

Welcome to your last day of Homecoming, folks!

Upon entering the Town Hall tonight, dance attendees might notice a very definite theme tonight! A very definite, very sparkly theme tonight, with enough glitter strewn around the place that there were, in fact, glitterdrifts piling up around the edges of the dance floor. Everything was glittery, or sequiny, or rhinestoney, with a sort of sci-fi punk sensibility about it. Ish.

You'd be surprised how difficult it was to find 'Glitterpunk' as a genre on google for reference.

The carnival was still going strong, and of course the booths were always a big draw! Whether you wanted to kiss someone, see them sopping wet in late October in Maryland, or just throw pie in their face, there was plenty more to do!

There was probably still glitter involved somehow.

Soooo the carnival was out this year, due to that whole murder carnival this summer. But it did bring the arrival of the Homecoming Fall Festival, which was open nice and early for everyone to get playing around and mingling. You might even be enticed to come in just by the dulcet sounds of the zombie band playing at the concert stage. Yeah, that was a thing that was happening.

There was plenty of new fall-themed stuff going on to see and explore, and who doesn't want to catch up with everyone who's come into town for the weekend? Come one, come all, and remember to stick around for the parade! Because this was a town full of stairs and that was gonna be interesting.

Oh and you were almost guaranteed to leave with glitter on your person but you knew this job was dangerous when you took it.

The first thing to hit the island was an enormous trunk labeled, simply, WAR.

A second later, the individual who'd dropkicked it through the portal in the first place - one Atton Rand - followed it out.

And so did the rest of the travelers.

Welcome back to Fandom, all, where it is at least slightly warmer and there's actual electricity.

The school had instructed everyone going on the fall break trip to gather up at the causeway late on Sunday afternoon.

There was a little designated area for the luggage to the right, while students and teachers could gather up on the left. There'd been an instruction about winter wear in the invite, too - hopefully everyone had complied, considering their destination.

Now it was just a matter of waiting for the portal.

Having dinner with Johnny occupied a weird middle ground in Alana's mind -- it wasn't a date exactly, but it also wasn't remotely platonic. Whatever it was, it seemed to be worth looking cute for, so she wore a silky patterned sleeveless top, fitted jeans and high boots. (Also goosebumps, because it was possibly a touch too cold to go out in sleeveless things.)

She poked at her phone idly as she waited for Johnny outside the restaurant. She had a mild addiction to Buzzfeed quizzes.

Kira was trying not to be nervous as she and Johnny got settled at their table. It wasn't like this was a serious date - Johnny went on tons of dates - but that was also the problem because he was clearly an expert dater, while Kira was on date number three or four of her life. Still, she was feeling pretty cute today, which went a long way to getting her to stay smiling.

"Have you eaten here before? I feel like I should have tried every place once by now, but I really haven't," she said.

[For the date!]

Hey, guess what! The bar was still open, the band was still playing, and romance was still in the air. Wait, that was the smell of booze. They're almost the same thing.

Johnny walked up to the bar, got a drink, sat down, and turned around to take a look at all the three minute daters. Nobody seemed to be making out on the tables, which was disappointing and not the way he expected something like this to end. Granted, he had no idea how he expected something like this to end.

Anyway, the bar was open and Johnny was definitely a teenage boy.

Jessica walked into the bar right before 8:00 and strode up to Tino. "It's not happening, okay? I'm not signing up. I'm here for a drink. That's it. Maybe some spectating."

Tino handed her some notecards and pointed to the stage where the band was starting to play. "What is this?" A spotlight swung out to the bar to focus on Jessica. "Wait. No."

Tino nodded.

"Fuck you, Tino," Jessica sighed. But whatever, she was just hosting all of a sudden. It could be worse. She walked up to the stage and started flipping through the note cards. "Not reading this. Not reading this? Who was this even written for? Anyway, it's Three Minute Dates. Find each other, talk to each other, you'll hear some kind of noise, and apparently the names will be shown up here on stage. Great! So I don't even have to stay up here and read every... Dammit, my name's up there, isn't it?"

From the bar, Tino shrugged.

After this was over, Jessica was going to web Tino's pants in such a way that he wouldn't be able to get them off for hours. That would show him.

Leave it to Johnny Storm to keep himself busy. Class was cancelled earlier, so he took a trip out to DC and actually stopped a guy from trying to rob dinosaur bones from the Smithsonian. Come back and boom, time for a date. He showered, Axed himself up - LIKE YOU'RE SURPRISED BY THAT, you liars - and dressed all nice before making his way to the restaurant for some food and conversation and hopefully palpable sexual tension that could be cut later if he were lucky.

But for now the focus would be on the food and the conversation and, most importantly, the girl.

"I'll be completely honest, I thought this place was for sick horses until two days ago," Johnny noted. Because he could afford to start a date like that. It was self-depricating. It worked.

[OOC: For Minako! And definitely not sick horses.]

Kitty had come in to check up on some stuff and found the bar... very weird. The zombies (wearing their own shirts, of course) were playing very upbeat music today, there was a giant "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY" banner over the stage that was practically dripping glitter, and there were several bottles of champagne lined along the bar.

Um. Okay.

Since obviously Tino and the zombies knew something she didn't- or they were just weird- Kitty decided to roll with it.

Johnny wore his blue, sleeveless FF impact suit as made his way to the roof of Chilly Boulder and decided that the night was just way too dark around here. Call him a biased city boy, he wouldn't deny it. He liked lights. And if Fandom wasn't going to supply them, he'd have to make his own.

He stretched for about half a minute, just for show, even if nobody was watching but the squirrels. And then he shouted "FLAME ON!" to make sure he attracted the proper attention from passersby. Yes, that assumed that a streak of flame taking off from a rooftop and immediately doing loops in the night sky wasn't going to be enough to show off. But Johnny was convinced that there was no upper limit to how much you could should off, so....

Basic point, the sky was ablaze and you had Johnny to thank for that. You're welcome, Fandom.

After getting settled at the hotel, Isabel made her way to the Perk. Finals were starting on Monday and she planned on getting some studying done while she waited for her coffee date.

Of course she'd probably get more studying done if she actually paid attention to her notes instead of watching who was coming and going in case it was someone she knew.

Town Hall was all decked out in harvest theme with this being so close to Halloween and all. Pumpkins and squash and random corn! The corn, people! Think of the corn! But please, for the love of all that is holy, don't allow your children near it. Especially not the creepy gingers.

There was plenty of food and punch--not yet spiked--set to the side of the spacious room. Which left plenty of space for the general mulling about that kids were so fond of these days. Or dancing. And even the occasional dark bits in which to lurk. Have a fun homecoming, kiiiiids and remember to vote!

"I'm seeing some familiar faces here from last night," Ghanima said as people filed in. "Hopefully you weren't all up too late."

"If you were, shake it off or get out. Half-hearted attempts because you're too sleep-deprived to pay attention are insulting and a recipe for injury."

"If you get out there and screw around," Tyler added, "we'll just send you home anyhow. Don't embarrass yourselves."

"Now comes the fun. For us, at least," Ghanima said. "You. You. You two. Tyler?"

"Them," Tyler said, gesturing to two people at opposite edges of the crowd, "Her and him. Go."

While the students had been completing their last finals, an NPC staff had been hard at work converting one of the empty warehouses into the site of tonight's dance. When the guests arrived this evening, they'd be greeted by a long yellow carpet, leading up to the open glass doors of the warehouse.

Once inside, they would find the space brightly decorated to celebrate the summer season. Gold drapes covered the walls, splashed liberally with glitter to make them sparkle in the low lights of the warehouse. Flowers were placed here and there, not overwhelming but definitely noticeable and fragrant. Images of beaches, palm trees, sunsets, sunrises, hammocks, and other various summer images were being projected on the walls randomly.

A long table consisting of food and drinks was along one wall, providing plenty of sustenance for everyone for their long night of fun. Dark corners could be found here and there, of course. There was music playing and a disco balls projecting light onto the dance floor.

It was time for the summer dance.
