Fandom High 20 Year Reunion Mixer, Community Center, Saturday Evening

[smilestopscars]

Much like the last time this event had taken place, it would appear to anyone who came to the community center tonight that whoever had been responsible for decorating for the reunion mixer actually had some taste. The decorations were simple - blue linen on the tables with gold flowers as centerpieces, and a notable lack of any tacky accoutrements

Arrive/Pick Up A Name Tag

Sure, some people look the same, but it would still be nice to let everyone know who you are!

"No, I understand that," Mercy said. "You can't just give up your life for someone - not unless you believe it's what's best for you."

Raven nodded. "I had a feeling you'd understand."

"Yeah. Oh and that guy? The one I was in love with who just wanted me because I could give him children? So... guess who's living in my single wide 'till he can find his own place' - which he shows no signs of looking for." Mercy shook her head. "Insanity."

You know, it was kind of nice being in a place where she wasn't going to be mobbed by lobbyists, reporters, critics, or ex-humans. Honestly, of all of those, the exes were the easiest to deal with.

Kathy put on her nametag that read Kathy Li-Bartamian in neat letters (she had to throw away the first one where she'd started writing 'Mayor' first), and looked around for familiar faces. Or not-so-familiar faces that belonged to familiar people.

Peter had seriously considered just staying at the hotel with his wife, but, sigh. Reunions, putting in appearances, blah blah blah.

He resisted the urge to write 'Hegemon' at the start of his 'Peter Wiggin' label, but it was a near thing.

It'd been at least a few years since the last time he and Ben had done anything like this. Ender stuck the 'Andrew Skywalker' tag on as his mind provided a running tally of dumb jokes about the even dumber name tag system.

He traded brief glances with Peter, but didn't approach.

"Do we have to say hi to Peter?" Ben asked in an undertone, slapping his own nametag on.

Upside down.

"Only if we really want to," Ender offered. "I'm not particularly into the notion at the moment."

Re: Arrive/Pick Up A Name Tag

[momslilassassin]

"Any reason for that?" Ben asked.

Re: Arrive/Pick Up A Name Tag

[endsthegame]

"It's Peter?" Ender said. "Do I need more reason than that?"

Re: Arrive/Pick Up A Name Tag

[momslilassassin]

"Not at all," Ben said, squeezing his arm and smiling.

Re: Arrive/Pick Up A Name Tag

Ender smiled. "Go make your rounds, I know you want to," he said, sliding his hand into Ben's. "Then you can stack up the food high and we'll find some time to relax at the hotel."

"Quiet and child free," Ben said. "We can watch what we want. Heaven."

"I never thought I'd look forward to seeing a car movie again," Ender said ruefully, "But I do."

Though it wasn't so bad. Val was already out of the house, and Nat wouldn't be far behind.

"Without Kol's commentary about how oooooold everything is," Ben said.
