The totes moddable concessions being offered were a mix of typical carnival food and more exotic options to suit the theme. One stand was offering shots of straight maple syrup.

Troy hadn't realised, upon his... escape... from New York that he was arriving back on the island just in time for Homecoming. That didn't mean he was going to pass up the opportunity to catch up with anyone coming in who he knew.

If there was anyone he knew.

It also didn't mean he was going to pass up free food. Because. Free food. Troy grabbed a couple of corn dogs, and hesitated over an order of poutine before caving and grabbing that, too.

Yes, making concentrated liquid sugar available to Calvin wasn't going to end at all badly.

A straight shot of maple syrup sounds too good to pass up.

A straight shot of maple syrup sounded a lot better than it was.

A straight shot of maple syrup, thankfully, was not enough to derail a lifetime of training in choking down not only food that might not taste too good with grace and dignity, but also potions, elixirs, and draughts.

Still, Rosella coughed a little, blinked out the water from her eyes, and went to seek something a little more...not crazy.

It had been such a long time since Arthur had been at a feast quite like this, and he... found he'd sort of missed the food. A bit.

So there he was, piling on the meat. Mmm.

Quinn hadn't precisely met Arthur, but it was fair to say she'd seen his face recently.

"So you're the one who looks the way I do when I'm a boy."

Yes, this was exactly the way to introduce yourself to the once and future king.

Arthur glanced up after that... strange greeting, and arched his eyebrows in confusion.

"You mean you resemble me when Fandom strikes?"

Emphasis necessary. Though he felt like he'd known about Fandom for too long if that didn't even throw him.

"Pretty much, yeah," Quinn nodded, tilting her head and deciding she'd been hotter than he was. "Except I got a beard this year."

She added, thoughtfully, "I didn't hear if it went the other way and you look like me when Fandom strikes."

"You don't look familiar to me," Arthur said. "I had a bit more-- muscle-- when that happened."

Not that he liked talking about it.

Quinn flashed a quick smile. "I'm good with the amount of muscle I have."

She'd grown; this no longer lead into a rant about how cheerleaders were athletes.

"Anyhow, I'm Quinn. Nice to meet you."

"Hello, Quinn," Arthur offered, as politely as he was raised to bring such a thing. "I am Arthur Pendragon. I graduated over a year ago now..."

"I'm always surprised how many people actually come back for this," Quinn observed. "I mean, it's not like the island is right next door for most universes."

She shrugged. "I'm a senior. Guess I'll see if I feel like coming next year."

"Well, I... had to help a friend, and this seemed easier than going home directly," Arthur said, with a bit of a shrug. "You find reasons, or you don't."

"I guess," Quinn said. She still wasn't sure she'd ever come back, but that was something to worry about next year. "So, anything in particular you're going to make a point of doing while you're here?"

"Eat the food, enjoy the thread count on the sheets at the hotel..."

Look, for a medieval guy, that was a Big Deal. "Drink, and be merry, I suppose."

Or be bitchy. It was Arthur. Odds laid on bitchy.

"Take a look at your maid at the hotel, and ask for a new one if you get the redhead," Quinn advised. "She doesn't really change the bed."

She shrugged a little. "I work there. Anyhow, enjoy the merrymaking stuff."
