The Lawn | Noon Onward!

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

With graduation festivities occurring over the weekend, the school administration expected most of the graduation guests to begin arriving today. To ensure guests felt welcomed, Barney's student council minions had set up a small gathering on the lawn where the guests could arrive, mingle, and feign relaxation before heading off with their graduates.

Or where they could all hear about how George got the makeouts with his girl the night before. Someone was a little chatty while hefting the tables and chairs that would serve guests well for getting a load off after travel, and Barney thought it was a tale worth sharing. For the hungry and forgetful, there were finger foods and nametags spread out on a long table. It was time to get the all-weekend grad party started!

Arrival

Again, name tags and food, people.

Their first visit their son's school happened to the his high school graduation for many reasons. It wasn't that they hadn't wanted to see him but Hannibal had his life and they had theirs and it'd worked out.

But, they weren't going to ignore his graduation thus the parents of Hannibal King were checking in and glancing around the island curiously.

"It's warm here," John said idly, slapping on a nametag. "I can see why he's stayed so long."

"He's probably at the beach now," his wife answered, smiling as she settled her own nametag on her shirt. "That's where I'd be."

Sebastien, in truth, was not well enamored of nametags. He thought it took the effort out of conversation, and if a creature such as he could extend the courtesy involved in learning a name, he saw no reason why others could not.

Nevertheless, in a show of his own good manners, he took one.

Dean had dropped his stuff off at the house, checking in on family, cat, and cat's kitten mama before heading off to the official arrival thingy.

Partially to check in on his brother and friends who would also be graduating, partially because he knew there was going to be the usual food spread available. And Dean was nothing if not about the free food.

Like Luke was going to let little things like getting enslaved for a few days, being kind of dead for a bit, and listening to Threepio sing (in his mind, the worst of the three) stop him from getting to Jaina's graduation.

Besides, he needed to tell Rory that Leia was engaged. Maybe she could tell Anakin. And Luke could be way over here, or possibly in another galaxy?

He skipped the nametag and headed for the snacks instead.

Han was here solo today and someone's player thought she was hilarious. This was so far looking a little different than the graduations he'd been used to, meaning there were fewer people in either uniforms or robes, but he was sure those were coming.

He was also forgoing a nametag. Come on. By the sounds of it, half the people here already knew who he was.

Re: Arrival

[youngestofficer.livejournal.com]

Dominic didn't need a name tag as his uniform already has a nice shiny badge. This was good because he was extra nervous and trying to avoid people. Not so much strangers, he could deal with them, but he was half-dreading that a certain beautiful pink-haired girl he knew might find him.

And turn him into even more of a stammering wreck than she usually did.

Re: Arrival

[not-king-yet.livejournal.com]

Cor was used to this process -- this was, after all, his third (and final) visit to this odd island. He carefully wrote out his name on his tag before affixing it to his tunic, and looked around. He wasn't sure why, really -- he was tall enough now that Aravis would certainly find him before he managed to locate her.

Re: Arrival

Johnny slapped his nametag to his chest, grabbed a handful of chips, and more or less just wandered around. He was happy to be here. In just over a week he'd be taking his girl home with him.

So yeah, he was all but bouncing with the happy.

Rory amused herself at check-in by getting not only a nametag for herself, but writing Juliet's name on one and sticking it to the baby's shirt.

Juliet immediately busied herself with trying to eat that sticker, much to Rory's chagrin.

Re: Arrival

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

Adam debated the nametag for a few seconds, then decided to put one on and just go with it. He was happy to be back and helped himself to a drink, deciding to do a bit of people watching.

He'd hunt down a couple of soon-to-be-graduates in a bit.

Re: Arrival

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori was half-tempted to forgo the nametag but slapped one on at the last minute. She could have a doppleganger somewhere and she didn't want to confuse folks. Better safe than sorry, right?

She decided to head for the snacks, maybe wander a bit afterward.

Re: Arrival

[brunali-icheb.livejournal.com]

Icheb didn't mind the nametag and so put it on without much thought.

Re: Arrival

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

It still felt kinda surreal to be back. Okay, so she'd been back already to see Mairin and all, but still. This was different. This was graduation.

Her baby girl's graduation. Something she'd never thought she'd actually get to see.

If she looked a little misty-eyed as she pinned her nametag on, well... she was.

Re: Arrival

[eastbound-n-dad.livejournal.com]

John Burton found his name tag, put it on, and started to look for that son of his who hadn't so much as written a letter, as far as he knew.

Mingling

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

Remember, every time we say the word 'mingle' a little squirrel takes a shot.

Re: Mingling

[solo_sword]

Jaina hadn't heard anything from home or John, so she was assuming no one was showing. She'd come to grips with it, or at least was pretending like a champ. She was disappointed, but she understood. Sometimes things came up, and it wasn't like she hadn't given her parents warning after warning about coming here now. They probably thought she didn't want them there anyway. She'd live.

Anyway, there were still people to watch, and she might have been hoping to see Luke show. So she found a spot off to the side to keep a lookout and to not look like she was trying to force herself to mingle or anything.

Re: Mingling

Kyle wasn't meeting anyone. He wasn't graduating, though he did know some people that were. Really, he had no reason to be here, but there was free food that wasn't pre-packaged and didn't involve preparing. Of course he was here.

Don't mind him. He was going to be over here, near the food table, stuffing his face.

Re: Mingling

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

So, apparently his parents were coming. Now, that was a surprise in itself because he hadn't been expecting it. They'd been busy when he'd been free and he'd been busy when they'd been free.

Hannibal wasn't sure how things were going to go but he was a little excited about seeing his parents again after so long. Hopefully, things would go smoothly for the entire weekend. He could only but hope.

Just because Angela didn't have any family coming (and don't think she wasn't a little put out by that), she would not be stopped from coming out to see who else was around for graduation. Always a people person, she was winding through the small crowd, mingling and picking at the finger food.

Chuck had been so preoccupied being worried about where the hell Castiel had gone off to, he almost forgot about this whole graduation thing. Lily and Nate both said they'd show up this weekend but Chuck had his doubts. He really didn't think Lily was required to show up, stepmother or not, and Nate was well...Nate. He tended to forget about things that weren't about him.

Either way, Chuck had made sure to be at this little gathering just in case hell froze over and they did show.

Re: Mingling

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

Naomi knew that her parents were coming for graduation as well as Icheb, Admiral Janeway had told her that she'd try to make it but she wasn't really expecting her to turn up.

She thought she'd keep a look out just in case and so she was there and mingling.

Re: Mingling

[wantstoforget.livejournal.com]

Suffice to say that this Great Detective was no mingler; while he would attend a party as befitted one of his situation, he largely kept to the edges of the crowd and observed those there unless he had a specific objective. If approached, he would be nothing but cordial, but he felt it best to leave such a matter in the hands of others; whether this was from age-old stubbornness of some sort or a mental tic designed to prevent his mind from considering them prey to be approached was hard to say and not something he was about to bend his mental energies upon.

He did wonder where Jack might be.

Re: Mingling

"No, no, I don't see him." Naomi put her hands on her hips. "This just figures."

OOC | Guest Greeting

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

This is just a small gathering type post so the guests, alums, and expats have somewhere to meet up with people easily! As the lawn is open to all, so too is this post.
