Homecoming Dance | Town Hall | Friday Evening | Post I

Oct 19, 2012 23:44

Glitter seemed to be a theme of the evening. There was glitter on the posters covering the walls, glitter on the plants printed on table cloths. Glitter on the fake full moon hanging in place of a mirror ball.

And of course, glitter on the banner hanging above the entrance.

Welcome to Homecoming 2012

Become a (wo)man.

Become a wolf.

Since they were already adults, it could be assumed they'd be the first to turn into wolves.

April totally would have blown off chaperoning if not for the theme. Come on, she had to see this.

"Shit," she said mildly, taking in the decorations. "These kids don't mess around."

Wolves...?

Yeah, no. Befriend one, sure. Turn into one...

Well, Kaidan would be over here, in dress uniform, looking both stoic and vaguely uncomfortable (it was a skill).

Jono wouldn't much mind turning into a wolf, truth be told. At least it would mean not standing here, feeling somewhat awkwardly torn between 'graduate' and 'faculty,' and deciding to split the difference by standing with the chaperones rather than stepping out on the dance floor or hiding himself away in the shadowy corner that he was so fond of.

He wasn't even hiding behind his coat collar, having opted for a turtleneck (worn properly instead of with the collar up over his mouth) and a pair of black jeans this evening.

He figured he really didn't have anybody to impress, and even working a few jobs, he couldn't afford a suit that actually fit him.

"Look at you, not hiding away in the shadows," Karla teased, saluting him with her cup of punch. "Is this personal growth, or were you just concerned about running into too many of the students from your class?"

"If I say it's personal growth, will you laugh too terribly much?"

Because yeah, he was mostly here to keep from being too hypocritical, considering what he was teaching this semester and all.

She considered that for a moment, came to the obvious conclusion and offered, "I'll pretend to be choking on my punch, if that will help?"

"I suppose if you did that, at least I'd have a legitimate excuse to smack you," Jonothon decided, and then shook his head. "I'm putting myself to use over here, is all. It beats trying to figure out too thoroughly whether I'm here as a member of the alumni or a member of the staff tonight."

"I think your status depends on your answer to a single question," Karla decided. "When you see someone spiking the punch--" and that was a 'when' not an 'if' "--what are you going to do about it?"

"The responsible thing," Jonothon said, putting his nose into the air. "I'll be certain to dispose of it thoroughly."

Because duh, Karla. Duh.

"Do I count as a student for the purposes of disposing of alcoholic punch?" Karla demanded. "Because, let's be clear about the level of my respect for your authority as a teacher."

Sorry, Jono. She'd spent far too long making fun of your tiara to look to you as an authority figure.

"Well, you might not count as a student for those purposes in my eyes," Jonothon mused, pretending, if only for a moment, to look thoughtful about it. "But that doesn't mean you don't in the eyes of the other teachers here this evening."

"Oh, so you'll be disposing of the tainted punch here and not, say, back at the Boards or later at Cafe Luke's with several of us?"

Because as much as she'd sulk about missing out on the spiked punch, the idea of watching Jono drink down the whole bowl at the dance was pretty funny.

"If I dispose of it here, it'll be going down a sink drain," Jono said, looking maybe a touch sad about that. "Otherwise I'll be in no shape for an outing to Cafe Luke's by any stretch of the imagination, will I?"

Though it would probably be somewhat hilarious. Until it found some inevitable way to be thoroughly disastrous.

"It'll all be a bunch of graduates," Karla assured him. "So you won't have to wear your teacher hat."

Beat.

"Well, a bunch of graduates and me, I guess," she added with a sigh. "But I don't count as a student."

For...reasons.

"Don't you?" He looked vaguely amused about that, yes. "I suppose if nothing else, even if I did have to wear my teacher hat, I certainly wouldn't have any authority over what you drink while you're out on the town."

Besides, there was still Caritas. Always.

... He'd probably feel a bit weird about having her over to drink at the Boards at least until she graduated, though. Bloody murky time-muddled grey areas.
