Despite all the years she'd lived in Fandom, Zoe was still a little vague on some of the details of Thanksgiving. However, she did have enough information that she was fairly certain the holiday wasn't celebrated with glitter, and yet, once the community center was decorated for the potluck, there were glitter-covered paper cutouts of turkeys all ( Read more... )

"Right, so this is a sport that combines big heavy things to throw and beer," Cade said, "so it's my kind of sport. I don't understand why we have to change our shoes, but even if you make the guy cry--" which Cade had, "--you still have to wear these ugly things ( Read more... )

The glitter was relatively modest for the brunch, by Fandom terms -- which still left enough on the statues moved over from the dance and other decorations to blind a small child. Italian opera played softly to match the classical theme, and space heaters had been set up under the tent to fight the late-October chill. It was, overall, a tasteful ( Read more... )

It was mostly sunny and still warm, at least for an October day. Basically, perfect weather for a big old group meal in the park. Plenty of food and drink was set up, as was plenty of seating for everyone who might possibly show up ( Read more... )

The sun was out, as the sun always tended to be for these things, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Sure, there was a bit of pollen drifting about on the light breeze coming in from over the water, but it was really that time of year, wasn't it?

He was already keyed up and he'd brought his board to the club with him so taking it down to the boardwalk wasn't much trouble. Besides, this seemed to be the only place he could shake some of his tension and twitchy energy ( Read more... )

After the dates, Bruce noticed that Doom and... the other Doom made their way out through the back door. Strange, but not suspicious enough to require a second look at this point ( Read more... )

It would be difficult to explain the past hour outside of Caritas. Suffice it to say, there were regrets, laser blasts, and several gremlins who owed Doctor Doom their lives since he spared them. Nevertheless, he had something to deal with now ( Read more... )

So far it was only drizzling a little, so Kitty decided to hit up the Kwik Stop for a few things. Since leaving the helicarrier, she'd made good on her promise to do some waiting on Clint, and figured that she'd get some things and head back to the house. Plus by all the signs around the place there was some huge sale happening, so it looked like ( Read more... )

It was probably too hot to be doing this but Theo didn't care. He was pretty used to hot by this point and he'd just spend a day in the shower afterward to help himself cool down. And this time, unlike last time, he wasn't going to let Dev talk him into doing any stupid tricks. He wasn't going to break his face just to try and be impressive ( Read more... )
