It was possible that the strange creatures that had invaded Fandom last week were still on everyone's mind when the Student Council had designed the decorations for Prom. Glittery cardboard animal-hybrid monsters awaited everyone as they arrived to the community center, and made their way inside along a blue and yellow carpet flanked by glowing, ( Read more... )

Jalian had shown up and called back the Doorway's last probe, then set that and the waiting ones aside and started taking the thing apart. Not completely, but enough that she could carry it. She had an idea she'd need it later.

And if anybody needed anything fixed, she could probably find time for that. At some point.

Raven was back.

She'd tried to relax. She really did. She'd had every intention of taking to the bed Hardison had offered her and not getting up for the foreseeable future, but it turned out sleeping in a bed was really weird after you'd spent as long as she had sleeping rough. And that waking up at the sound of people moving around so you didn't ( Read more... )

Jalian was at the absolute worst phase of her Doorway - sitting and waiting. She even had plenty of probes for the time being; there was nothing to do but to see if it could find the timeline Raven was trapped in ( Read more... )

The weather in the park was cool, crisp and pleasant. Not too hot and not too cold. If Goldilocks was attending the school she would have called it "just right." The traditional decorated tent had all been set up, complete with various tables, an expansive buffet which included a grill and barbecued items, and the all important shadowy corners ( Read more... )

A sign was posted at the front door:

Caritas Presents:
3 MINUTE DATES

Unlike most 3MDs, there didn't seem to be a host. The zombies were just set up, all quiet, when the lights went out.

After a few moments, music started to play. A man's voice started to sing "Ooooooooh" while backing vocals repeated "come on ( Read more... )

When Jalian arrived at Stark's today, there was a...thing...in the middle of the floor. It looked mostly as if someone had smashed a toaster oven...radio ( Read more... )

Jalian's Doorway was sitting in a corner, and she checked it, sighed, and sent another probe through. It was all waiting now, seeing when a probe would find the right timeline.

So until then, she might as well get work done. Stark's was open!

Kanan had made a grave mistake today. Kanan had wandered out beyond the Causeway, had actually explored some of the planet out beyond Fandom that morning. It had been pleasant. Uncomfortably pleasant. Aggressively pleasant. So pleasant that it had left him with sore eyes and a bit of a tic in one of the muscles in his cheek. Not to mention the ( Read more... )

Jalian was back this week and working on her Doorway again, now that she had fingers. There was still so much to do, but she was getting closer to being able to test it.

Of course, that could take a very long time, and any number of probes.

So she was mostly just scowling at people that had other things to fix. They were slowing her down!
