Homecoming Carnival | Post I | The Park | Friday, October 24

[stacyexperiment]

Soooo the carnival was out this year, due to that whole murder carnival this summer. But it did bring the arrival of the Homecoming Fall Festival, which was open nice and early for everyone to get playing around and mingling. You might even be enticed to come in just by the dulcet sounds of the zombie band playing at the concert stage. Yeah, that

Food

[stacyexperiment]

The carnival might be on a bit of a hiatus, but there was plenty of fair-type food to be had. There were probably even some things that tasted like pumpkin spice. You're welcome/we're sorry.

Atton'd just come back from Dantooine that morning, and he didn't feel much like socializing - except the fair food was right there, near home, and frankly he wasn't sure if he'd restocked his fridge before leaving anyway.

So there he was, poking around the food.

Maybe he'd even decide to go visit Anakin's dunk tank in a bit.

Sam decided to drop in for the food, at least. Okay no, he came back because he did like the place and it gave him some time away from Seattle. But, the food was a good motivator, at least.

This was where one would find Rory, if one was looking for her. Carnival food was a precious commodity, and didn't ever really belong in October, so she had always taken advantage of the fact that she could still get funnel cake here out of season.

Maybe two funnel cakes.

Tables

[stacyexperiment]

There were plenty of spaces to eat and people watch, or to catch up with old friends! Also there were fall-themed centerpieces, which yes, were fake and covered in glitter.

Everything was terrible back home, so it had been good timing to get away for the weekend. Not only did Jaina need a break from things sucking, but she thought it might take the heat off Jag for a little bit. Hopefully.

Jaina found a seat to watch everything and take in everything that was different this year while looking for faces she recognized. Also there was already glitter on her hands and she had no idea how that happened, she hadn't even touched anything.

"Jaina!"

Excited cousin tackle hug in five, four, three...

Re: Tables

[solo_sword]

"Hello, stranger," Jaina said, hugging him back.

She expected tackle hugs by now.

Pick-a-Pumpkin

[stacyexperiment]

There are plenty of uses for a pumpkin. You can carve them, decorate them, make food with them... And who doesn't want an excuse to bake a pumpkin pie? Pick your pumpkin, there are plenty for everyone!

Aeryn didn't know what homecoming was, she was just sort of curious as to what all this was. And she found it amazingly confusing.

Which was why she was standing in the middle of the pumpkins, saying, "I don't get it."

Re: Pick-a-Pumpkin

[not_called_icky]

Ichabod, while familiar with the holiday, didn't quite understand what was the matter with the pumpkins either. So when the unknown lady spoke her mind aloud he wanted to express that he shared her sentiment.

"Neither do I, madam," he said. "But if there is any comfort I believe there are stranger things here than a celebration of vegetables."

Re: Pick-a-Pumpkin

[imnotgoodatnice]

"Like what?"

Because obviously that was what she was going to have to check out next.

Petting Zoo

[stacyexperiment]

Who doesn't like animals? There are plenty of nice, harmless farm-type animals to meet, pet and feed in the pens. Make some new friends.

Yes, there are totally chickens.

Re: Petting Zoo

[endsthegame]

Ender wasn't sure what drew him to the petting zoo in particular - maybe his mind had been drifting off in these directions more and more since he and Ben took their first steps towards parenthood.

Either way, here he was, trying to coax the chickens closer with a hand full of mealworms. It was harder than he'd anticipated.

Re: Petting Zoo

[not_a_moonie]

Alana got totally distracted by the cuteness of the baby goats and spent way, way more time feeding them than she had expected.

Some things with horns were adorable. Who knew?

Re: Petting Zoo

[not_called_icky]

"Are there no goats where you are from?" Ichabod asked, as they were hardly the kind of animal that would attract his attention.

Music Stage

[stacyexperiment]

There was an area set up for you to all hear the headliners today: the Caritas zombies!

Music Stage: Concert

[stacyexperiment]

While everyone was going around having fun, the zombies were playing stuff off their own albums along with plenty of covers, and also Tino would occasionally pop out to fire a T-shirt gun from the stage, so enjoy that!

Re: Music Stage: Concert

[momslilassassin]

...and now Ben had a t-shirt that had been shot from a gun.

"Okay..."

Music Stage: Audience

[stacyexperiment]

There's plenty of seating in front of the stage. Sit and watch all day if you want. They won't mind, they're zombies!
