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

Homecoming Parade

[stacyexperiment]

Students had been working hard on getting their floats together, and now it was time to show them off! There was a route marked around town so you could see it almost anywhere!

And there was a good chance you might get glitter bombed. Sorry.

Okay, sooo the floats on stairs were probably a bad idea but Fandom is a town of problem-solvers!

[Ping in if you want to say you made a float! Go ahead and describe it, or just join in and walk along the parade route!]

Gwen's float was a goth gremlin. It wasn't terrific or anything, because she didn't have much in the way of art skills, and she'd never actually seen a gremlin in person, but you could probably tell what it was. It was just a simple, larger than normal green gremlin riding on a float while wearing chunky heels, black hair, black eyeliner, and what looked like it was probably heavy eye makeup, all constructed out of chicken wire, crepe paper, and blood, sweat and tears because chicken wire sucked.

She had accomplished the world's first goth gremlin, though, even if the kathunk kathunk kathunk sounds as it was carefully maneuvered down the stairs got annoying after a while.

Johnny made a float. Guess what the theme of it was. That's right, it was a big old campfire with him in the middle. There were fake rocks around the perimeter and fake logs in the middle, and a large flame aura around Johnny as he floated at the minimum safe distance above the float to make sure he didn't set the entire place ablaze.

Alana and her monster gremlin -- it had ended up covered in blue ombre fur and wearing an eyepatch, for reasons that made more sense when she was loopy on paper mache fumes -- walked the parade course.

And walked it.

And walked it.

And wondered why she'd agreed to a parade on an island with this many stairs.

Hang out and watch! Be glittered! Instagram floats falling over!

Bay had been back in Fandom fifteen minutes when the parade started, and she was already be-glittered just from watching it.

But nobody was the wrong gender or a small child,so she was considering the weekend a win. Plus, some of the floats she'd photographed were going to make for a killer basis for an art project. Los Angeles graffiti art didn't have nearly enough gremlins in it.

Sia had to go to this, because she'd never seen a homecoming parade, and she really wanted to see how they pulled this off.

She was finding it interesting, to say the lea-

And now she was covered in glitter, thanks.

Barry and his polar bear cub companion were enjoying the parade in their respective forms.

//I'm never getting this fucking glitter out of my fur.//

Okay, Elsa the cub might be enjoying it more than Barry.

If you wanted to see a good WTF face, just watch Aeryn as she watched everyone get their floats through the streets and over stairs.

"Everything is wrong with this planet," she muttered.
