Derek got in a little ~~ha!~~ earlier than normal to the bar to get some things set up for the party apparently planned there.

Which basically meant a few tables and chairs were moved.

He wasn't Pinkie, okay? Be very glad for that. No one needed that much glitter in The Devil's Nest.

It'd been a while since the last alumni event on island, so someone had gone all out with this one.

Or maybe the Olympics were a good theme and it was easy to go overboard with it. Whatever.

The place had been done up in Olympic colors, which... okay, and of course there was glitter which may have been left over from a past event and multiplied in that time. And going with the multicultural theme of the Olympics, there were even ~~moddable~~ snacks and drinks from other countries. Might as well try some new things every once in a while!

Or you could just watch the coverage on the TV and make fun of the USA's outfits.

Inside one of the previously abandoned warehouses was now a club. A virtual reality club, to be exact, with lots of neon lights in green and purple, and virtual reality glasses abound, through which you could see a virtual reality... with 8-bit graphics. But still! (Don't ask where all the stuff had come from. It was better if you just didn't ask.) And behind the bar, there was a woman: super blonde, in tight shiny clothes, with long gloves on her hands and a collar around her neck.

You might even get in without being Swedish! But Katerin might not let you participate in a VR race if you're not.

Disregarding last year's meadfest with their friends the Vikings, it was a fine Fandom tradition that the graduation day was followed up by a grad brunch on Sunday, and this year was no exception.

The weather was okay, and a feast had been laid out in the park. A banner spelling out CONGRATULATIONS, CLASS OF 2012 hung from the trees, and there were tables and chairs spread all around, some covered by tents and some not. And at the center of it all, naturally as at any good Fandom event, were the tables of ~~moddable~~ foods and drinks.

Even cake. Fandom High graduation ceremonies might have been things of surprise dropbear terror, but the school did take care of its own when it came to food. It was a very good time for the graduates, along with their classmates, friends and families, not to mention random townsfolk, to gather and celebrate yet another class making its way through the challenge knowns as high school.

This was quite possibly Bod's last shift at the diner. After his graduation and a few days spent getting everything in order on the island, he planned on going back to Kansas for awhile before he decided on what he would do with the next phase of his life. It was exciting and scary all at once. But, Bod wasn't letting that get in the way of his focus for work.

While Bod thought the uniforms were quite ugly, he was still wearing his because he couldn't bring himself to misbehave. Even when the staff giggled and gently teased them, he decided it could have been worse, after all. At least he had clothes. And at least they weren't that terrible.

While Bod had some big plans for tomorrow, that wasn't going to stop him from coming into work today. The staff greeted him warmly and Bod even took a few moments to discuss said big plans with them before he wandered into the front of the diner to get everything wiped down, set up and opened up.

Portals elsewhere might break, send you to the wrong planet, or leave you hanging; this one was forever faithful to its own schedule.

Sadly, for those denizens of the island who might have grown attached to their children, that meant it was time to say goodbye. The portal popped up blazing purple in the center of the park, calling to those it had taken here just a few days ago.

Time to go, time to go home, children.

There was no bouncer at the entrance to the Community Center, all the better for any underclassmen to sneak into the night's festivities and pray that their own official final dance in Fandom would be half so...red. To be technical, the shade was rust.

Thankfully to the more practical among the StuCo Prom Committee, the Mars theme lended itself to plenty of starry twinkle lights and a decadant foggy mist rising from the dance floor that might just help the chaperones in their quest to look the other way when students got too handsy. That was really all that mattered at an event like this. Well, other than the food on hand and the ability for the punch to merge well with whatever spirits were 'accidentally' dropped into over the course of the evening.

For this was a night to be remembered! Even if all that stuck in the memories of the students was the terrifying spacemen floating around the giant papier mache Mars that dangled in place of a disco ball over the dance floor. Or perhaps it would be the fantastic flavor of the fiery fountain of cherry pie filling. Fake fire, of course, but the filling? Totally real and delicious. Even if it looked a little too much like fiery blood for some people.

Bod had taken a week off last week due to things happening in Kansas but he was back this week for his shift and his class, at least. There was also prom coming up that he'd stay for but after that, he figured he'd go back to Kansas to be with Kate. He caught up with the staff for a bit before heading out to get the diner set up to open.

It was turning out to be a quiet day thus far. The kitchen staff was busily working on getting the specials prepared and Bod was out front, wiping down counters, putting out condiments and occasionally sending Kate little mundane texts just so she knew he was thinking about her.

Besides the fact that it was a new month, Bod hadn't done much differently. He'd spent all of break with Kate and was still adjusting to being back and not getting a chance to sleep with her whenever he wanted. She had him completely wrapped around her finger and he kind of liked it that way.

For now, he was busying himself with wiping down counters and getting everything set to open so the diner would be running smoothly at the appointed time. After his shift, he thought maybe he'd go to the mainland and get a book. It'd been awhile since he'd done that.

With Spring Break so close, Bod was trying to figure out if he was actually going to attend the school sponsored trip or make his way back to Kansas to spend it with Kate. They had little free time together so it was his first choice but he also didn't want to disrupt her normal work schedule and make her feel like she had to entertain him. That was his main area of thinking as he got the diner ready to open for business.

Bod felt an itch. It wasn't a physical itch but a mental one. It was something that he'd felt before and he knew from years of experience what that itch was. The bad thing was that the cure for that itch was far away and he had to work and couldn't do anything about that.

So, he helped cooked and he helped clean and he did everything he could to try and forget about that itch. The less he focused on that feeling restlessness and idle energy, the less he thought about catching a portal to Kansas as soon as his shift ended.

Bod was no longer a female and the dolls were no longer on the island. It was shaping up to be a normal, quiet day which was music to Bod's ears. There hadn't been many of those lately and he was going to take advantage while he could. There was soft music filtering out from the kitchen and Bod was wiping down tables and chairs out front before he got the diner all opened up.

After that was done, he cleaned up the diner area and then grabbed up his book and took a seat behind the counter.

Bod was pleased to no longer be singing every single word even if it hadn't been that bad for him. He still didn't think his singing voice was good and preferred to do his talking in the normal way.

Two days ago in Fandom time, and about a night ago in Kate-time, Kate had received an alarming text message from Emma. And she was... not dealing with it. She hadn't even managed to bring herself to text Emma back yet, trusting her to send further updates if things changed. Not that Kate even knew anything beyond 'Jack is hurt', except that he was also expected to survive, so... There was really no rush, right? She was telling herself her avoidance was mostly because she'd been busy with work and she needed to be on top of her game now that she was no longer being supervised, but maybe it was more that she was starting to hit a few of her limits when it came to facing all this horrible stuff head on.

This morning, she'd had an early flight to St. Louis where it had turned out she had a few hours to kill, and since she was having trouble staying in one place she'd ended up pulling her coat on over her SkyKans uniform and using the St. Louis Portalocity hub to get to Fandom for a brief visit. You know, to maybe clear her head a bit. Hey, maybe she'd be lucky and it would just be a normal day, even.

That hope, of course, only lasted until she got to the Perk (sending out a few 'I'm at the coffee shop' texts to friends in Fandom on the way) and a barista cautiously asked her if she was okay (probably assessing the smartness of giving her anything with caffeine), and instead of a perfunctory 'I'm fine', what came out of her mouth was singing: "The funeral director is a busy man, he must do the job on time; tape measures, nails and a clawhammer beckon him to bind the wood that grinds. Children, they cry, when they look eye to eye; stay in your home when the undertaker roams your town."

At which point she'd taken her coffee and made her way towards the back, then promptly facepalmed after taking a seat. Right, so it was one of those days. At least it could probably serve as a distraction?

[Ooopen! As usual, if you think you got a text, you did. Yay OMWF!]

It was a brand new year but Bod didn't feel any different. He came into work as usual and got set up as usual and posted the specials as usual. So, nothing had changed and really, Bod thought that for the best. It would have been even stranger if he'd gone from mild mannered to party animal all because of a new year. TODAY'S SPECIALS

After stopping in at the picnic, Bod had made it over to the diner to get his shift going there. The staff had already placed some banners and decorations up to celebrate the end of the year and were wearing their best 2012 sunglasses while they worked. They tried to get Bod to wear them but he begged off and took a noisemaker instead. The sunglasses looked rather silly.

He'd donned his best Christmas colors (but he didn't look garish) and had put up a few small decorations around the diner.

When things had started to return to normal back on Fandom, Bod had thought he'd be able to, once again, get in contact with Kate. But that had turned out to be untrue. He was still unable to get in contact with her and he'd been worried to the point of making himself sick for the last week. The only reason he hadn't yet gone to Kansas was because he didn't want to worry her family for any reason. He was there at work, trying to use it as a distraction but it wasn't doing much good.

Now firmly under the control of Mr. White, the Auditors were becoming a little... more coordinated. They had found some of their powers failing that morning, which was terrifying, but then Mr. White had given them that look and they had given in to their bodies' apprehensiveness and scurried off.

Now...

"We must learn more," Mr. White crowed loudly. "Most of the humans are in there." He pointed at the school. "That is a fact."

The hundreds of Auditors gathered in front of him nodded meekly.

"So we must study it from the inside," he continued, "This is also a fact."

Another unanimous nodding session.

"Those inhabiting the town are also of interest," he added, "Which is also a fact."

More nodding.

"They have proven hostile so far. Also a fact. That means we can only conclude one thing."

He held up the axe. A good chunk of the Auditors held up their own weapons, mostly because they didn't want to be singled out for another experiment.

"CHARGE!" Mr. White yelled.

The throat protested. Interesting.

Seven hundred Auditors charged through the streets of Fandom.

[[ ocd up! Have at! Note that after this, all of Fandom besides the school and dorms is gone, so be sure to read the OCD. Also, if you need an excuse to get your character out of the affected areas, the Auditors are everywhere and they're going to be very hard to miss. ]]

Bod was really hoping that working provided a distraction from everything that was going on. He hadn't heard from his own world but that wasn't a surprise. Ghosts really couldn't make calls but that didn't stop him from being fearful that his mother and his father and all his friends were just gone. He wanted to check but he wasn't sure if that was a good idea. The staff sensed his dilemma and left him alone while he cleaned the front area of the diner and got things set up to open.

When Bod arrived at work, he arrived worried and unfocused. With the news from the radio, he was antsy about what might be happening in his own home world. He knew there was no way he could just pick up a phone and call to make sure so it was go there or just hope for the best. Right now, Bod was leaning towards going there and dealing with the unpredictability of Portalocity.

He wasn't sold on the decision but he was distracted enough at work that he looked like, with enough thought, he'd be sold by the end of his shift.

He polled the cooking staff who were split on the vote which wasn't helpful at all.

But, he thanked them anyway before heading out to start getting the diner ready for business.

Today, the members of the fraternity had been told to meet in the park, where they'd see a lineup of brightly-colored go-karts just waiting to be claimed by a dozen crazy frat-boys who might just be in need of some serious stupidity after a weekend of dealing with parents and assorted others.

Or, at least, that was the logic of the two leaders of the frat, who had also been fortunate enough to survive the weekend.

"Hey, guys," Warren said, smiling (a bit twitchily, all weekend-surviving aside) at the group, a helmet tucked under one arm. "Today, we figured we could use a bit of action and reckless abandon, so we arranged for some go-kart racing. We've roped off a portion of the park so that you don't have to worry about driving into any unsuspecting pedestrians, and there are helmets, because we're all teenage guys and we know you're going to drive like idiots and probably try to take these things downhill or something, right?"

Look, it's what Warren would do. He wasn't going to judge.

“And we’re not allowed to tweak the cars,” Tony added sulkily. He could have made them so much better if given just five minutes at the engines. “When you’re not racing, let us know if you have any ideas for future meetings that don’t involve more pizza.”

That was always a given.

“So, have fun.”

As was traditional, the start of the end of Parents' Weekend featured plenty of food, benches, chairs, and coffee in the park. After all, the Student Council couldn't let the parents be weirded out one last time without a feast.

The sky was a little overcast, but the temperatures were still above normal, which was a lucky break for the final day of the weekend.

October 1st, 2011. Kate's 18th birthday. On Fandom, anyway.

That was the big reason she was here, bright and early. She hadn't heard anything from Bod so she assumed she was in the clear as far as Silas showing up was concerned, and this was just another mundane Saturday in early September back in Kansas, so she'd hopped a portal and here she was, heading to the Perk first for a hot chocolate and a muffin for breakfast.

And being her, she sent out a mass text to all her friends she figured would be on the island on this fine Saturday:

eighteen, bitches! holding court at the perk this morning, come say hi if you're not swamped with guests.

She was so not above attention whoring when it was her birthday and her parents wouldn't acknowledge it for another month. She picked a table by the window and settled down to peoplewatch with her treats.

Bod was trying to keep his mind off Parent's Weekend and the possibility that Silas might arrive without prior notice. He'd done it before and he'd do it again, Bod knew that, but with all the other questions surrounding his guardian, he wasn't sure this time. That had him distracted as he came into work and he managed only some brief conversation with the staff before his thoughts got the best of him and he excused himself go to tidy up the front of the diner so he could open up.

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! )

Today, the Fraternity was given instructions to meet at Fast Eddie's, and to bring their bowling shoes, if they just so happened to own their own. If not, no worries. Your esteemed leaders had not only rented the hall, but they'd also paid for rental of those scummy, funny-looking ones that they had available for the general public.

Gross.

“Hey, guys," Warren greeted, already wearing his own pair (in blue and white, and looking fairly dapper in them, thank you). "We're working up to seeing what we can do with the things that you guys said you'd do as a group last week, but in the meantime, we're going to try to keep our meetings interesting without... uh... doing anything too massive."

Like building satellites to get free movies that would have been cheaper to rent than the satellite was to build, Ben.

“Plus, who doesn’t like bowling?” Tony added. Yes, he also had his own pair of shoes. They were red and gold. Because someone wasn’t obvious or anything. “We’ll be looking into a joint venture with the Sorority and Pride, so if anyone has any ideas for them, just let us know.”

"And if you don't, enjoy the bowling, keep the pizza away from the lanes," because it was mandatory for these things, thanks, and Warren wasn't about to have a meeting without it, "and have a good time, guys."

Yesterday, high-powered District Attorney Alex Cabot had fallen to her death in an open elevator shaft.

This had caused problems for Zayne Carrick, in that he was going to be in deep trouble when the information got out. Something about not inspecting the elevator, or not having the building codes cleared, or some other insurance scam difficulty.

Alex wasn't really clear on it. Alex wasn't clear on anything, what with being dead and all.

What was important was that Alex be found dead somewhere that wasn't Zayne Carrick's elevator shaft, and from a cause that wasn't falling into MCA's elevator shaft.

Which was why Alex Cabot was propped up here, in the Perk, with sunglasses and a big floppy hat covering her face.

Either people would talk "to" her and assume she was alive -- thus proving she didn't die at MCA!!!!! -- or someone would find her body, and her place of death would be The Perk. Not MCA.

A very clever plan.

(oh fuck this is the worst, most tasteless thing I've ever posted, but Alex is here for all of your Weekend at Bernie's style misunderstandings-and-fake-conversations-with-a-corpse needs. Because she's dead. Zayne modded with permission, which means Nick and I are both going straight to hell.)

The memories were still gone and he still had no idea who he was. He had no idea where he was and he could barely remember leaving the library and ending up in front of tombstones that held no answers to the secrets that were locked inside his mind. He wanted to cry. He wanted to ask for help but he didn't know who to ask.

He took another step and pain felt like it was splitting his head open. He fell to his knees, holding his head and groaning. Flashes of light lashed through his mind, scraps of visions and memories long gone. There was one though, one that he managed to retain.

There was...a building. And he was there. He was there, standing next to himself. No, his twin. His twin was there and he was crying.

The vision stopped and the pain in his head abated. He was still on the soft, springy ground in the graveyard. He had a twin. He had...someone. But he had no idea what his name was and where he was. He was still alone and that one memory was so painful that he almost wished he hadn't regained it.

It had been a quiet week for Bod and he really didn't mind those. Quiet weeks meant less of a chance he'd get shunted to some far off place with no way to escape or something equally horrifying. Quiet weeks meant he got a lot of reading done, got a lot of walking done and pined a lot for Kate. Well, he was a teenager.

When he came into work, he smiled and chatted with the cooking staff for a bit, telling them of his plans for the weekend (he had no solid ones) while they chattered happily about their own plans and even tried to sway him into watching some of their favorite television shows so they could talk about that.

Bod begged off and went out front to get the diner set up for opening.

Bod wasn't in the greatest of moods today.

The staff took note of his mood and tried to ply him with ice cream and milkshakes which he appreciated. He was going to be unfocused and sad all day, he suspected.

It was Saturday night and time to grab your best gal for one heck of a dance. Or your best guy. Maybe your best sentient robot. Look, Fandom didn't judge your lifestyle choices.

The community center was decorated with the requisite streamers and glittery things to make it look like a disco threw up all over the 50's. But it was hardly a dance without unfortunate glitter, right? Right!

So, throw on a poodle skirt (or leather jacket) and get ready for a good time! And remember, this dance is open to all!

With classes over for the summer, Bod was already looking ahead. He knew next week was going to be a difficult one so he was saving those thoughts for later when he was alone. Today, he was thinking about classes for next semester and possible extracurricular activities that he might want to join. Some of the cooking staff suggested a cooking club. Bod chuckled because he didn't think he was that good but he still kept it in mind.

Eventually thoughts of classes turned into thoughts of his trip with Kate next week. He had the plans and the place and now he was just making some other arrangements via his mobile phone. He was never not going to be amazed at how many things you could do on a smartphone.

Bod hadn't drowned himself in alcohol last night so, after waking up and taking care of Kate this morning, he'd come into work and shared the tales of the party with the cooking staff. They were sad about missing it (even if Bod didn't tell about Ramona and Kate kissing) and Bod made them promise to try and get out to the next one.

Ramona didn't do it often, but girl knew how to throw a party. Granted, at the age of seventeen, she hadn't been to a ton of college parties, but she'd been to enough to emulate them effectively.

She'd gotten to the beach early enough to set up a couple beer pong tables, along with one for flip cup. There were several kegs of (really, really cheap -- might as well go for the full college draw here) beer, and nearby those, she'd placed an assortment of liquors and mixers. There was no bartender or anything for this party -- not only to fit with the theme, but also because Ramona was cheap and practical. See also the traditional red party cups she'd gotten for their drinks!

There were, however, tiki torches and a bonfire, and she'd sprung for festive little umbrellas to go in the drinks. Ramona hadn't really wanted to go totally tropical for this thing, but she'd dressed relatively beachy for her -- she was wearing a sundress, at least, over her swimsuit, and she had a little white flower in her blue hair.

She was determined to make sure Kate didn't miss any of that vital college experience. Because clearly, this was the important stuff.

Kate might not have been in as a brilliant a mood as she had yesterday, but it was still okay enough. They were right by Disneyland Paris, come on. It was going to take a little more than a cranky, painkiller-addled BFF-or-possibly-not to entirely wreck her mood. But it had made her a little more pensive than she had been, yesterday. About a lot of things.

She did not count the shifts she had left as she idly straightened up some of the merchandise in the concessions stand.

It'd been a long week and it still wasn't quite over yet. The snow was still falling outside and Bod was glad to be inside a place made warmer by all the cooking equipment in the back. Bod was moving between the kitchen and the dining area, helping to prep and cook in between cleaning and getting things ready fro the upcoming day.
