Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2011, Saturday Early Evening - Part One!
The ceremony was once again held at sunset for the benefit of the graduates’ less diurnal guests, but the lawn was well-lit with twinkling blue and gold lights draped across bleachers, stage, surrounding trees and specially-assembled trellises, giving the overall effect of a peaceful fairy grove. (Not, say, Las Vegas. Tasteful twinkling lights.)
The staff having taken note of every previous graduation including the most recent, the lights had been purchased from Acme Decorations Studio with a money-back No Coming To Life And Terrorizing Your Party Guests Guarantee... and there was a rather large cache of weapons stashed in a trunk behind the podium. The chance that it would rain toys that could later be used for self-defense was slightly less than the chance that there would be a need for self-defense.
No one could say Fandom High wasn’t a learning experience.

Re: Welcome!
Stupid heartfelt gestures. They always got her in trouble.
Beet-red, she glanced over to see who was catcalling. Aaaand, yeah. Jason Stackhouse. She recognized him from the brief time he also attended Fandom. He'd tried to take her usual greeting at face value. "Before you say anything more, I should probably tell you I'm one of Sookie's close friends," she said.
Maybe that would work?

"I already know a version of you," Karla tried instead. "He came to Fandom for a little while. So we're probably good?"
Re: Welcome!
Jason was not really clear on how the many versions of people thing worked, no.
Re: Welcome!
Karla had just imagined explaining temporal mechanics to the Jason she'd known and realized just how futile that would be.
"I don't normally wear skirts this short," she said instead. "I prefer long skirts. Down to my feet. And pants. Lots of pants."
There was even a rule about them!
Re: Welcome!
Re: Welcome!
While she died of embarrassment foreeeever.
"And, uh, thank you?"
Re: Welcome!
And that would certainly help with the self-consciousness!
Re: Welcome!
"I reeeeeeally don't think so," Karla said, shaking her head and tugging at her skirt again. "Fandom has no shortage of gorgeous females and everyone's attention is probably up on the stage with the graduates and I'm really okay with that."
Babble harder, Karla.

Re: Welcome!
"Sure it is!" Jason said defensively.
Re: Welcome!
"I just kind of want to pat you on the head," Karla said. "No one's going to believe that, you know."
