The weather was being kind - perhaps unnaturally so. There was a large gap in the clouds right above Fandom island, sending sunlight streaming down even as the sun made its way towards the horizon ( Read more... )

It was Jaina's thirteenth wedding (...second marriage) and you might think that meant the wedding might be less extravagant than the last twelve, but no. Not when the Winchesters and Starks were destroyed and she had Skywalker money at her disposal. The outdoor wedding (as it was a suspiciously perfect day for it being November) was elaborate and ( Read more... )

The con had been set up, the trap had been carefully laid...all behind the scenes because the writers weren't actually clever enough to write a convincing con.

Cade lounged against the front of the cave--partially blocked with rubble because sometimes the writers remembered continuity--and chewed a piece of gum (which was a lot like heroin) and ( Read more... )

Luke Skywalker, newest elected Congressman to the House of Representatives (and you could tell because of the giant flag pin on his suit), breezed into the Perk and shook hands with everyone inside the shop, smiling and kissing babies before asking for the most American cup of coffee on the menu ( Read more... )

Worried that all the glitter on the island had been used up at the dance or at yesterday's festivities? Worry no more!

All the rides and events were all child-safe and kid-friendly. Even the thematic decorations had become kiddified; no worries about nightmares from this little guy, huh? Didn't he look like fun? Don't ( Read more... )

Glitter seemed to be a theme of the evening. There was glitter on the posters covering the walls, glitter on the plants printed on table cloths. Glitter on the fake full moon hanging in place of a mirror ball.

And of course, glitter on the banner hanging above the entrance.

It was a slightly subdued Eric who opened the Devil's Nest tonight.

In honor of the weekend, there were two new signs on the door:

YOUR CHILD IS GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL AND THAT MAKES YOU OLD.
HALF PRICE DRINKS IF YOU'RE HERE FOR THE CEREMONY

and

GRADUATES: NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR MEANINGLESS EXISTANCES AFTER TOMORROW? THE DEVIL'S NEST IS HIRING ( Read more... )

Portals elsewhere might break, send you to the wrong planet, or leave you hanging; this one was forever faithful to its own schedule ( Read more... )
