Parents' Weekend Meet & Greet! - Friday Afternoon

Hopefully, everyone in Fandom was ready for their guests, because everything was ready for the guests at the park. The weather was behaving (although it still wasn't fall, grumble grumble) and there was a tasteful amount of glitter around the food and decorations. The banner, however, was all glittered out as hung over the entrance:

Welcome to Parents' Weekend 2019!

Mae's parents couldn't afford to come down for the weekend, so as far as she knew she was on her own. Which was fine. She was just going to pile a plate with some food and laugh at everyone else having to deal with their family.

Gregg knew Mae well enough to know exactly where to find her. When he did, he grinned and snuck up behind her.

"Put your hands up! You're under arrest for -- crimes!"

Mae's (already not small) eyes went huge.

"GREGG!!!"

Trevor had also planned on showing up to just take food and nope out. Because his entire family was dead. Also from the past.

So, that plan was going well. Or poorly because this was all terrible to watch.

Mistakes were made.

"And we're sure he's actually here," said the petite blonde woman with the glasses, cautiously sipping her drink through a straw.

"Why wouldn't he be?" asked the tall black man sitting next to her, looking somehow too straight of spine and too childishly earnest to be here, all at once, as if he was displacing the air around him. "Maybe Lucy has even missed us."

Linda cleared her throat. "He did make it clear he wanted a clean break from... LA."

"It's just a... a phase he's going through, Linda. He's been calling you, hasn't he?"

"Yes. Mostly to inform me how well he's been doing without... LA."

"So there you go! He'll be so happy to see us!"

Linda let her expression do the talking.

On the one hand, going to the events this weekend exposed Rosa to more people. On the other hand, hiding out in her office put her right where people could easily find her. So she wasn't sure exactly what was the best strategy here. But she did figure at least there was food at this one, so she could just grab something to eat, maybe mill around a little bit glaring at people while she ate some carrots, and then retreat, secure in the knowledge that she'd made an appearance, and it wasn't her fault if no one happened to catch her, right?

Of course, this whole plotting and planning for the least interaction possible would likely be shoved way to the side once she got around to actually recognizing a few of those faces in the crowd that she was intending to mildly glare at.

"Detective Diaz." Holt stood a respectful distance away, arms folded over his chest. "Are you actually socializing?"
died8yearsago: (fuck no)

Re: Food and Drinks [PW 2019]

"Captain Holt." Rosa had literally been just about to ping him had noticed him long before she'd noticed even her own father here, but she was still working that on out, because this one was definitely much weirder. It helped, though, that Holt would be here on a strictly professional level. So that, at least, made this easier. "Are you actually here?"

It was Fandom. It was weird. She felt it wouldn't hurt to check.

Holt was delighted to see her looking so well! He was downright blubbering over it.

"Is there a reason I shouldn't be, Detective?"

This was Holt blubbering, yes.

"Yes," said Rosa. "Several."

There was a pause.

"But it's good to see you."

Look at them. Now she was blubbering, too. They were causing such an embarrassing scene.

Good luck with that, Rosa.

Miguel had also been planning on minimal interaction; unfortunately Gabriel was - ugh - a bit of an extrovert when he felt like it.

So here, have Miguel and a dorky guy in goggles.

"Hey, Rosa."

Just in time to distract her just as she was pretty sure that that had to be...

Rosa's attention shifted, took in Miguel, took in the guy that was with him.

"Hey," she said, quirking her chin up, then cocking her head toward the other guy. "Who's this?"

She felt she could make a pretty good guess, though.

Miguel sighed. "Rosa Diaz, Gabriel O'Hara. I got the brains and the looks, he got the insane."

"Hey!"

Despite herself, despite the rising little heat of panic in her stomach about this whole weekend now, Rosa grinned faintly. "Are there any more of you?" she asked. "I'd hate to see what they wound up with."

"Now that's what I'm talking about!" a genuine smile appeared on Arsinoe's face for just a moment as she spotted the tables of food.

Of course, once she had her plate of food, she was right back to glowering.

Nobody mind the grumpy-looking teenager with the jagged scar across half her face making her way through the selection of food Fandom had to offer. "Mira," she said, turning to her sister and practically shoving a piece of pizza at her. "You've got to try this- whatever it is."

Keyleth had taken her lunch break today to go wander through the meet and greet, get some food, maybe take a quick look at people's visitors, but she caught the last bit of that conversation and turned; Jules had mentioned a Mira a few times.

"Oh, hi," she said with a little wave. "Are you Jules's guests?"

Re: Food and Drinks [PW 2019]

[personal profile] twodarkqueens 2019-09-28 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
"... Who's asking?" Arsinoe snapped, zeroing in on the girl who'd spoken.

The few letters she'd managed to exchange with Juillenne had mentioned Keyleth, but hadn't included much in the way of physical description.

Keyleth miiiiiiight have made a tiny little meep! noise at that, and she flinched, but she took a breath and squared back up.

"I'm Keyleth, her roommate. She's talked about you two before, so I recognized Mira's name, and . . ." She gave them a bright, if slightly wavering, smile. "Hi?"

"Mirabella," the other of the two girls corrected, firmly though not unkindly. And indeed, her nametag did read Queen Mirabella.

(The 'Queen' on Arsinoe's was scratched out with Sharpie)

"Her letters did mention you," Mirabella said with a nod. "She said you're- not quite a naturalist, but similar enough, in some ways?" The letters hadn't mentioned that antler crown though. Or the ears.

Rey and Finn hadn't gotten back yet, so at some point Chewie just left to see where he was. And there was too, so.

Apparently he was just going to take a whole tray of something. Look, did you want Wookiee fur in your finger foods?

"Oh, look, there is food!"

The Translator, a person of indeterminable gender in crisp white clothes, including gloves, looked quite excited as she made her way towards the table. The expression briefly turned to disappointment when she had assessed the options.

"Why is there no fish sauce?"

This disappointment faded a little when she found a pizza slice, which she somehow managed to eat while keeping her gloves without a stain.
