Parents Weekend Mixer - Fandom Community Center, Saturday Evening

As the sun started to go down, the party was only just getting started. The Fandom Community Center was set up and well-lit to receive this weekend's guests. The bar was open and there were nibblies and appetizers on offer all evening. Music was playing most of the night, but not loud enough to hamper conversation. Welcome to the Parents Weekend Mixer, for anyone who wanted to stop in and share in some good company and good cheer!

Good food, good drinks, good company, good music. Enjoy yourselves and if you feel like a dance, go for it!

Video and Slideshow Presentation

If you have any pictures, home movies or clips of your students, feel free to give them to the A/V guy to show off to everyone! There was a sign at the entrance directing you to do just that.

Q&A Session

[identity profile] weetinyreese.livejournal.com 2010-10-02 10:47 am (UTC)(link)
Halfway through the evening, the music softened until it was inaudible. The MC came onto the stage and announced that, as they were all gathered, it was time for an informal Q&A session. Anyone who wanted to take the microphone could ask questions, answer questions or even just plain say hi to everyone and tell embarrassing stories about your student.

I'm turning notifs off and will be asleep for the duration, but if you need anything, please contact one of your friendly StuCo members!

Aaron hadn't wanted to overstay his welcome so he'd had a quick dinner with Alex (where they'd barely said a word to each other) and was now at the mixer, eating more of the free food and wandering around casually.

Scott was pretty much ready to meet anyone who had never met some version of him. He knew he was pretty much hoping for a miracle at this point since everyone in the town seemed to be either a relative or someone his relatives were warning him to stay away from, but it would be against his nature to abandon all hope.

Since the opposite of abandoning all hope was drinking punch, he had a cup of that.

Kitty was really hoping to meet some new people here. If they were related to anyone she knew, in this universe or any other, that was especially cool. So she had a drink, but was mainly trying to keep the dancing to head bobbing, since the priority was on talking.

"You didn't warn me that I was related to people here," Scott said immediately when he approached Kitty.

Re: Mingle, Drink and Snack

Kitty looked at him blankly. "Who, Alex? I didn't know he was here."

"Apparently I have future kids from another world," Scott said. "And they're here."

Re: Mingle, Drink and Snack

The blank look turned into full on staring, complete with dropped jaw. "No way! Who? Are they here? With Jean?" Of course they were with Jean, duh. "What'd they say?"

"Well, Rachel had red hair and warned me away from someone who had an issue with a Jean that went here..." Scott said. "I guess she's visiting her brother Nate."

Of course Alfred would be here instead of the bar in town. Because he was a stick in the mud classy and far too mature to be drinking away the trauma of talking unicorns.

He raised Bruce Wayne, damn it. Nerves of steel, this man.

Scott maybe won for weirdest Fandom experience so far... between the two of them. "Wait, so you have like two kids? Are you going to meet him?"

Re: Mingle, Drink and Snack

[identity profile] eyedocsfearme.livejournal.com 2010-10-02 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"Maybe if I find him. I don't know. Is it weird to look for your possible future son at a party?" Scott asked.

Re: Mingle, Drink and Snack

[identity profile] notavalleygirl.livejournal.com 2010-10-02 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yes. But it's tons weirder to have a possible future son so I think you're okay," she assured him.

Dani didn't have any visitors this weekend, but that wasn't going to keep her from getting out and enjoying a good party. She was definitely dressed to impress and was taking advantage of the drinks.

"Good point," Scott said, completely unaware of how much weirder it actually got. "You don't know any Nates around here that might kind of look like me, do you?"

Re: Mingle, Drink and Snack

[identity profile] notavalleygirl.livejournal.com 2010-10-02 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well," she said, realizing, "I think the mayor's last name is Summers?" Wow, that would be weird.

"My alternate reality future son may be the mayor," Scott repeated. "This place is so much weirder than I thought it was going to be."

"Welcome to Fandom! Tell the professor this is what I've been saying," Kitty said with a grin.

Free food, and the possibility of meeting alternate versions of people he knew? Bobby was so there.

Sorry Scott. At this point in time, Bobby's met a couple of you. Whiiiiich would be why he was sidling up to Scott and reaching out to give him a friendly clap on the back (that was strong enough to send that punch flying, if it connected). "Scooter! Long time no see!" It wasn't his Scott, that much he knew from a) radio and b) a lack of emo stubble. But that wasn't gonna stop him from pestering him saying hi.

"I'm pretty sure he'll understand it once I'm done explaining everything," Scott said.

Scott looked at his newly empty cup, then the punch on the floor, and then over to Bobby. "I kind of figured you were going to be the Bobby Emma mentioned."

"Wait, did you call me Scooter?"
