Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2008, Saturday Afternoon (Part I)

[bigdamnprincipal]

The sun was shining over the front lawn of the school (except for the part of the bleachers covered by an awning, in case anyone with sun issues had shown up), and the temperature had thankfully turned out to be perfect for the occasion. There was a stage placed prominently on the lawn, set up with a podium and a number of heavy metal chairs for the administration and guests. In front of the stage were platforms with more of the metal chairs; they'd been painted blue and gold, and were sitting empty and waiting for the arrival of the class of 2008. There were bleachers on each side of the platforms, for students, family, friends, alumni, and residents of the town who wanted to come and watch.

Alas, it was time for another class to graduate.

[OOC: If you ping in before the OCD is over, I will end you and all that you love. Ahem. OCD is done, go and rock out! This post is for audience mingling and general graduation stuff. The requisite WTF-y part of graduation will be posted later. Like last year, it'll be kind of hard to miss the events of the second post, so you might want to hold off an any post-graduation posts for a while to avoid being Jossed.]

Please wait until he has posted his speech before replying.

Re: Vice Principal Hades' Speech

Hades looked thrilled to be there. Really. He leaned against the podium and took the microphone. "Hey, Hades, Vice Principal, God of the Dead, Lord of the Underworld, thanks for comin' out. I could give the graduates a speech, but believe me, between the people up here? They'll be sick of it by the end of the day. So instead of wasting my time telling you all how great life after school is going to be (it's not, by the way), I'm going to talk to all the parents out there.

I'm a guy of few words, so I'll keep this short. Remember, no matter what they decide to do from now on, no matter when they want to leave home and where they want to go and who they want to get into trouble with and even how crazy they seem talking about stuff they've seen in Fandom," yes, this coming from the blue guy with his head on fire, "you sent them here. It's all your fault. Remember that and you'll get along fine. Graduates, it's been a blast. I'm sure you'll all make names for yourselves and one day, someone might even remember what those names are." That someone wouldn't be Hades. "Give 'em hell."
