It was a crisp yet none-too-chilly September afternoon in the Park, the weather as always perfectly nice to fit the island's general ideas about what these events would be like.

The theme in the park seemed adorably retro, perhaps best seen in the massive banner that hung above:

ⓅⒶⓇⒺⓃⓉⓈ ⓌⒺⒺⓀⒺⓃⒹ ②⓪②③

Welcome, friends, family, and other hangers-on! Please make yourself at home.

[[ ocd up, have at! ]]

Love was in the air! Well, not really. That was later. But metaphorically, love, air, etc!

Caritas was decked out for Valentine's Day, with bunches of heart-shaped balloons in strategic places, copious amounts of pink and red confetti at the tables (a conversation starter!) and heart-shaped string lights above the bar and stage. And don't forget the glittery pink banner:

TONIGHT!
THREE MINUTE DATES
IT'S LITERALLY ONLY FIFTEEN MINUTES OF YOUR LIFE

A few minutes before 8:00, Kitty took the stage. She was probably covered in glitter now. "Hello, everybody, and welcome to Three Minute Dates! If you've never done this before, the rules are simple. At 8:00 on the dot, we'll call your name along with one other person's. You'll get to know each other as well as you can in three minutes, and then the gong will sound and you'll get another name to meet. You'll do that for five rounds, and then if there's anyone you want to talk to more, you can meet up at the bar. Good luck, everybody!"

It was probably a good thing that most of the carnival was set up on Friday night, so when people woke up as kids, everything else adjusted too. The weather was perfect for playing outside - not that a little rain would stop anyone - and it was time to have fun!

The lovely fall weather was still hanging around today, creating the perfect setting for some outdoor activities to facilitate family bonding and give people a distraction from trying to answer awkward questions about exactly what this place was all about.

Enjoy some food, get creative with pumpkins, and maybe meet some new people!

It was one of those insufferably nice seasonal afternoons, the type Fandom only broke out for major events: the temperature was charmingly brisk, the trees an autumnal red-and-yellow, and birds sang their merry fall songs in the trees - when they weren't tussling with the squirrels.

A glittery banner hung over the entrance to the park, drawing in all newcomers:

Welcome to Parents' Weekend 2022!

Welcome, friends, family, and other hangers-on! We're glad to see you! As far as you know!

[[ all PW guest applications have been accepted! ]]

throughaphase

It was that time of year again! New people were here! New people to date, get to know, or perhaps make a mortal enemy of!

You never know.

Signs were hung up in front of the bar, both obviously, and easy to miss for anyone who might wander in and get signed up without their knowledge. Above the bar was a banner (in glitter):

TONIGHT!
THREE MINUTE DATES!
GOOD LUCK WBRURBODY

Your hostess wasn't gonna question it. And a few minutes before 8:00, she took the stage.

"Hello, everyone! And welcome to Three Minute Dates!" Kitty greeted them. "If you're new to this, the rules are simple. We call your name along with one other person. You talk to this person, get to know their likes, their loves, their dreams. After three minutes, a buzzer will sound-" Pause for the sound. "-and you'll hear your name paired with a different person. Et cetera. If there is anyone you'd like to talk to more, the bar will be open afterwards for drinks and conversation. Remember that any violence will get you transported into the pond, but also please don't attempt violence in order to flee, that is rude to the rest of your dates. Now I'm going to get off the stage. Have fun, and good luck..."

She trailed off, not going to attempt to pronounce the word on that sign.

Fandom's reunion mixer was as tasteful as last night's party had been, even if it was twenty years later. And by 'tasteful', we meant 'full of retro 50s robot statues'. They were everywhere, hovering over the food, lurking by coat check, hidden behind the curtains in the dark curtains...

Be careful, folks. They were Out There.

It was warm. Uncomfortably so, at least in Connor's mind. Rex on the other hand was use to is seeing as he was from the Cretaceous and warm climates were the norm. That meant that while Connor would have been content to stay inside and turn the thermostat down a little bit, a certain small green dragon thought it was the perfect weather to go out and explore.

And so there they were, making their way long the beach down from the apartments. Connor couldn't be too annoyed really. There was a nice breeze and walking along barefoot in the water felt nice. And Rex of course was entertaining as he flew around doing impressive loops and dives. Now and then he would even investigate the water along the shore though it was apartment he was dragon meant for flying not swimming.

"Give yourself some time mate" Connor said as Rex gave an annoying chirp at the waves pushing up on the sand. "Don't think ya would have spent much time near the ocean back home after all. It's not bad at all once ya get used to it!"

(Post and beach are open!)

Come one, come all! It was time for ~~everyone's~~ some people's favorite event, maybe!

TONIGHT!
THREE MINUTE DATES!!!

The bar was open before the dates, and maybe you hung out. Maybe you mingled. Maybe you signed up. Maybe you'd be surprised when Tino or someone else signed you up against your will! But regardless, a few minutes before 8 pm, Kitty hopped onto the stage, which was bedecked in a red sparkly curtain that someone had probably gotten on Amazon for $6!

"Hello, everyone! And welcome to this installment of Three Minute Dates!" Kitty greeted them. "If you're new to this, the rules are simple. We call your name along with one other person. You get three minutes to get to know that person. After three minutes, a buzzer will sound-" Pause for the sound. "-and you'll hear your name paired with a different person. If there is anyone you'd like to talk to more, the bar will be open afterwards for drinks and conversation. Remember that any violence will get you transported into the pond, but also please don't attempt violence in order to flee, that is rude to the rest of your dates. Now I'm going to get off the stage. Everyone have fun tonight!"

Or like, at least attempt it.

It was Valentine's Day weekend, and that meant love was in the air - only metaphorically, thank goodness. The community center had been decorated in the gaudiest of decorations - construction paper hearts, streamers, balloons in various shades of pink, red, and white, and of course, as much of the glitter supplies as possible.

Do you know how hard it is to glitter balloons? Hopefully someone would appreciate these creative efforts.

The food tables were filled with a variety of savory goods and plenty of chocolate. There was also regular punch and hot cocoa, neither of which had been tainted ~~yet~~.

It was time for some fun with those you love, or at least fondly tolerate!

You know what was a good way to spend a Saturday afternoon, if you were Will Halstead?

With a stack of medical journals, reading about some of the advances and discoveries of the past three years ~~though strangely nothing Covid related, so weird~~.

And yeah, he could've done so anywhere, including his hotel room, but he had a craving for jelly doughnuts so really, why not kill two metaphorical birds with one stone, and settle in at a table with some pastries while reading those journals?

[ooc: so very, very open.]

Jon was aware that Jo was at home now, but he'd gotten used to coming here on Wednesdays by now. And after this weekend, he felt good and didn't want to just sit around his flat.

So, he was getting his usual tea and sitting at the window with a book and his phone, watching the people and occasional industrious elf pass by. If he was a bit wistful about not having anyone to spend the holidays with, that was his own affair.

Rosa had an appointment on the island to look at an apartment she'd found advertised on Craig's List, but the less time she spent in the MICA dorms with her perpetually stoned roommate, the better. So she got to the island a bit early, figuring she could get the lay of the land and figure out if it was actually a place she thought she could live.

It looked, to her admittedly limited experience, very European. And there was art everywhere. She'd spotted at least a few murals graffiti-ed onto buildings as she walked in from the causeway, and while there were two bars (one for locals, one for tourists, she assumed, or maybe one was LGBT and the other was for the straights?), there were also plenty of places to eat or grab a snack that didn't look like they catered too much to the drugs-and-booze crowd.

So, you know, her sponsor would approve, at least.

She decided to grab a seat in the little bakery she found, tucked in by the window where she could people-watch as she picked apart her cinnamon strudel muffin. And try once again to google "Baltimore neighborhoods Fandom" and find out a little more about this weird little place she was looking to move to.

[HELLO A NEWBIE IS IN TOWN! Considering the number of graffiti artists we've had on the island already, I figure there should be at least a few murals for my little graffiti artist to be impressed by.

So very open!]

The day had been a fairly productive one so far, a lot of things had been crossed off the to-do list. And Dwight had a road trip coming up that he couldn't deny he was more than just a little excited, and very very ready for.

After a trip to T&C for a few supplies, Dwight decided to stop to get some ice cream. After the Wee-Tiny weekend he was still craving ice cream. Nothing as sickeningly loaded as the sundae mini-him had indulged in, but something sweet none the less.

So there he sat with a sensible hot fudge sundae in front of him as he took a seat by the front window so he could people watch while he enjoyed his ice cream treat.

Alara had enjoyed the walk on the beach last week and so she decided to go back down this week after class but this time she decided to go for a run instead and see how that went.

She normally didn’t go for a run as she preferred to workout with the punching bag at the gym but so far she was finding this to be quite enjoyable for an additional workout today.

So, brunch was normally a chill affair - food and coffee and people getting in their last visits before folks go home. Today was... probably slightly less chill. The candy-induced transformations hadn't gone away, so who knew who might show up here. Hopefully monsters liked pancakes too?

bigdamnprincipal

Considering the theme of the dance, it might have been a surprise to walk into the community center and find it looking relatively classy, but a ball was a ball, even if it was a ball for "monsters." There were candleabras and dark gauzey fabrics everywhere, trying to put off an "elegant evening in a castle" vibe. Even the glitter was understated!

There were extra masquerade masks in case anyone needed one, or wanted to switch things up during the night, and bags of candy for anyone who wanted to stop by, even if it was just to sneak a peek. Or get candy in general, there's no judgement here.

The weather had been kind, and it was just the right amount of cool for a Halloween-themed Homecoming carnival. The booths and activities were ready for visitors, and the Halloween decorations and spooooky music playing everywhere aimed to set the right kind of mood for everyone.

Yes, there was also black and orange glitter everywhere, because of course there was. Feel free to take some home with you, because it's going to be difficult not to!

The week in Boston and that day spent at the sea had reminded Alara that she didn’t get to the beach nearly enough these days and it was one of the places that she loved going to back home on Xelaya.

It wasn’t really the time of year for the beach but she still decided to head down after class to go for a walk along the beach for a change in her routine.

Even though it had been a bit weird turning into a different version of herself, it had at least meant that Alara didn’t have to think about home and her future after Fandom. It had also been strange that that other version of her had been in the military and that was the second time in as many months she had seen a glimpse of a future and she’d pursued a military career.

After her class was finished for the day, she decided to head to the perk and ended up trying a pumpkin spice latte. After that she sat down at a table and pulled out her data padd and decided to look up the Planetary Union academy just to have a look at what was required to join.

Whiskey had woken up in a strange place with a strange little green... thing yesterday. But the green thing hadn't stuck around terribly long, which had left him alone in a shop full of weapons. Which made sense to him. And armor, that didn't make any sense to him.

So, now that he'd managed to find a decent set of clothing and, most importantly, a cowboy hat, he was out to investigate.

And that investigation involved getting himself a coffee with a little hat tilt and a, "Ma'am."

It was almost time for Fandom's guests to leave. To honour them one last time, the Mayor's office had arranged for a wonderful spread of food, set up along Apocalypse Ave on the way to the causeway. Opposite these tables were a few more with a, ah, tasteful number of Fandom tourist merchandise, for the shot glass-and-calendar-loving connoisseurs among their visitors.

And at the very far end stood a single table, holding nothing but a large collection of water balloons and water pistols. It came with no instructions.

Some of them looked like there was paint in them.

[[ ocd up! open! ]]

It was a nice fall Friday afternoon, and the park was all ready for people to gather to meet their loved ones, as even the extremely glittery banner hanging over the entrance to the park evidenced:

Welcome to Parents' Weekend 2021!
There was a lot of glitter. Not just on the banner, but... generally everywhere. Sorry, the school administration had ordered a surplus of it, and it clearly all needed to go somewhere, and since it was all in very autumnal shades of orange and red and gold, well, this was just the occasion.

Welcome, family and friends and whoever else the townspeople and/or the school happened to invite! Try not to inhale too much glitter.

It was that time agaaaaaain! There was a sign on the door and a banner above the stage.

CARITAS PRESENTS
THREE MINUTE DATES

Or maybe, perchance, you totally missed it somehow, and didn't run from the bar before Tino could sign you up for dates. It happens!

And then a few minutes before 8:00, Kitty took the stage under the banner, to a drumroll from the zombie drummer.

"Hello and welcome to another installment of Three Minute Dates!" Kitty began. "In case you're new to this, in a couple minutes I'm going to call out sets of names. You'll find that person, talk to them for a whole three minutes. When you hear this siren-" Oh, that was an obnoxious air horn sound. "-you'll get a new person to talk to. If you got sucked into this without your knowledge, sorry, and also it's fifteen minutes of your life, make some new friends!"

[~~So much OCD incoming.~~ OCD is up! Date away! A post for Caritas after the dates will go up Saturday!]

The park around the pond had been strung up with lights. There was a dance floor with a live zombie band, tables of food, and a spot with a sensible Honda Accord decked out with one of those giant bows you see on car ads around the holidays.

The party was pretty great all on its own, but if you happened to be under the delusion that it was Your Super Sweet 16, well, there was everything available for you to see something slightly different.

And a pond to get into a slap fight about whose party was better.

Just sayin'.

Everyone's welcome!

Belle had left her room intending to go to the common room. Instead she found herself inside the ice cream shop.

The ice cream shop that was newly refurbished after its whole hole ordeal. There were signs everywhere, including outside on a sandwich board though Belle couldn't get a good view of that when she tried to step outside, proclaiming "WE GOT THE SMELL OUT" as well as "FREE TOPPINGS FOR HOLE PEOPLE (we have a list)" and "TRY OUR NEW FLAVORS!!"

"New flavors?" Belle asked. She wasn't overly familiar with the older ones but she did enjoy trying new foods. The girl behind the counter grinned and pointed to a list at the counter.

DARK AS A HOLE: Dark chocolate ice cream with dark chocolate chunks
LIGHT AT THE END OF THE HOLE: Dark chocolate ice cream with marshmallows

There were also piles of business cards on the tables with #NotAllRaccoons printed on them, for some reason.
