Parent Check-in

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Rover, Martin Blank and Alanna Trebond sit at the registration table with information packets

Included in the packets are:
Your child's/ward's/whatever relationship you have with this person's Class Schedule
A Map of the School and Town
A Schedule of Events for Parents Weekend
The rules and regulations of Parents Weekend
A Coupon Book

At the desk is a sign saying:
Please sign in here for Parents Weekend

And depending who is looking at the sign it will magically say:
To ensure everyone's safety, please surrender any Firearms/Weaponry/Magical doodads that will cause harm to our students.

Your property will be returned to you before you leave.

Thank you!

ETA: Parents/Guardians are now required to check in on their own.
((OOC: In other words... If your parents are somewhat "normal" and unarmed they will not see the message. Unless they are packing some kind of weapon, and then they will be see it. Got it?))

Veronica and Keith head over to the refreshments table.

Keith decides the food looks normal enough, despite the odd variety of 'people' milling around the table. He grabs a sandwich and a brownie. "Can I get you anything, Veronica?"

Re: Refreshments/Mingling

"No thanks, Dad," she says with a grin.

"I'm glad you were able to get away and come for a visit."

Re: Refreshments/Mingling

[http://users.livejournal.com/_whosyour_daddy/]

"Veronica - of course I could get away to visit my favorite daughter," he said with a grin. More seriously, "Neptune hasn't been the same without you. How are you doing here?"

Re: Refreshments/Mingling

"I bet you say that to all your daughters," she jokes, covering while she tries to think of a way to answer his question without lying but without telling the whole truth. She doesn't want him to worry about her panic attacks or the weird things that go on at Fandom High.

"This place is very different from Neptune, but I like it so far," she answers.

"How's business?" she asks, hoping a change of subject will keep him from probing her further about her school activities.

Re: Refreshments/Mingling

[http://users.livejournal.com/_whosyour_daddy/]

"Business is booming - I can barely keep up with it all. And my new secretary is not nearly as helpful."

Keith recognizes a brush-off when he sees one. "I'm glad you like it here. No problems with Logan or anything? How's the newspaper coming?"

Re: Refreshments/Mingling

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"See, I told you not to send me so far away. You can't live without me," she teases.

"I hardly ever see Logan," she tells him and that is not a sad look on her face, "though, last weekend, we had detention together, and he was a bunny," she adds with a grin.

"And the newspaper is good. I'm writing a series of articles on some of the non-human students to promote better understanding between humans & non-humans."

From across the room, Lilly waves at Veronica and Keith.

Re: Refreshments/Mingling

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica smiles with relief when she spots her best friend. She drags Keith across the room to where Lilly is standing.

"Lilly!" she exclaims, finally letting go of Keith's arm. She hugs her best friend. "I am so happy to see you!" She rolls her eyes in her dad's direction, hoping Lilly picks up her hint.

Re: Refreshments/Mingling

[iwasawesome.livejournal.com]

Lilly grins at Veronica, hugging her back. "Hey, V, great to see you too." She turns to Keith. "Hey, Mr. Mars. How've you been? Aren't you just loving the school?"

Re: Refreshments/Mingling

[http://users.livejournal.com/_whosyour_daddy/]

Keith is still looking back in the general direction of Angelus. He isn't liking that one at all...

Turning to Lilly finally, he says, "Hello, Lilly - you're looking... well. This place is really something."

Janet waves to Veronica one her way to meet up with her family. "Hey, Veronica," she says. "It's been a while. How's it going?"

Re: Refreshments/Mingling

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Janet!" Veronica calls, relieved to have a distraction from her dad's concerns.

"This is my dad, Keith Mars. Dad, this is Janet."

Re: Refreshments/Mingling

[janet_fraiser]

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Mars," says Janet, holding out her hand and looking just like a normal, average teenage girl in jeans and a t-shirt. "Veronica's great. It's nice to meet her dad."

Re: Refreshments/Mingling

[http://users.livejournal.com/_whosyour_daddy/]

"And it's nice to meet you, Janet," he says, shaking her hand, relieved that this one doesn't appear to be 'special'. "It's nice to meet any friend of my daughter."

Re: Refreshments/Mingling

[janet_fraiser]

"I hope the trip to get here wasn't too bad," says Janet. "My uncle flew in from DC, so he's not too far away." She gestures over at a balding man in his 50's.

Re: Refreshments/Mingling

"My flight from California was long, but uneventful. Thanks for asking," Keith replied nodding to the man Janet indicated.

Re: Refreshments/Mingling

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica gives Janet a grateful smile.

Re: Refreshments/Mingling

[janet_fraiser]

Janet flashes a quick grin at Veronica. It's a very normal grin.


OOC: Hee! Janet looks normal for once! Yay!

Angelus, dressed up in a respectable suit (but no tie) is mingling with the crowd, trying to get a lay of the land, and keeping his eyes out for those he knows. When his eyes happen to meet Veronica's at one point he gives her a smile and nod of greeting.

Re: Refreshments/Mingling

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica smiles and waves. She half hopes Angelus will come over so her dad can meet him and see that he's not evil and she half hopes he won't so her dad can't embarrass her.

Re: Refreshments/Mingling

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Not having spotted Darla yet, Angelus has a moment to spare to come over and say hi. He makes his way through the crowd to join her.

"Glad I don't have to organize this," he says.

Re: Refreshments/Mingling

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Me too," she says.

"Oh, um, this is my dad, Keith Mars. Dad, this is Angelus."

Chloe wanders around, trying to find people she recognizes, and grins when she spots Veronica, and a man she assumes is her father. "Veronica! Hi!" she exclaims.
