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

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.]

"Not really," she admitted. "A lot's changed already."

"I think it's still the same," John said, looking around. "Sure, different faces but I don't ever think the feel of this place will change."

"I only know half the graduates," Aeryn pointed out. "And we're not exactly the same we were last cycle."

"Exactly, the faces are different but this place hasn't changed," he said. "It's still the same weird awesome place we left."

"Still feels different to me," she shrugged. That happened, though, and she knew that.

"Want me to build a fort?" John offered. "Make you feel more at home?"

"You're going to build a fort in the hotel room?" And then she considered that. "Wait, why should that surprise me?"

"No, build a fort right here," he told her. "Right in the middle of graduation."

"I think that can wait," she said quickly, worried he would do it.

"A fort during graduation would just cement my legacy!" John exclaimed.

"And if you'd done it during our graduation, it would have been much more fitting." She was so relieved he hadn't done it then.

"I could build a fort in the hotel room," he said, winking at her. "And we could have some fun in it."

"We'll talk about that later," she said, looking at their surroundings.

"We should do it in a fort," John said, not caring about the surroundings.
can_be_more: (no john don't go!aeryn)

Aeryn facepalmed and hoped she didn't have to apologize to anyone's parents.

"Or the bathroom," John said, grinning wickedly. "We do good work in there."

"John, later. Graduation now," she pressed.

"I could propose again," he said, quieting down some. "I like proposing."

"We're a little past that stage now, I think," Aeryn told him.

"I do love you, though," he said and reached for her hand. "I just like telling people."
