Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2013, Early Saturday Evening [Part 2]

[sith_happened]

As the last graduate took his seat with his diploma, a faint rumble rattled the folding chairs.

The noise grew louder and the tremors grew worse and true to Fandom graduation protocols, a invisible, impenetrable dome came down to separate the graduates from the rest of the audience.

The rumble faded away into uneasy silence.

Then:

"Dig...Lett...DIG!"

Now might be a good time to see what's in those ACME boxes, grads...

AUDIENCE!

WTF earthquakes! React to being walled away from the graduates! Wonder about the Digletts!

Zayne had his hand on his lightsaber if anything threatening made its way out into the audience, but otherwise he figured they were actually safe and the graduates could handle this.

Bruce was no longer in his seat.

If someone was being VERY observant, they may have noticed a dark figure almost perfectly hidden in a nearby tree. The Batman was waiting for a threat to spill outside the wall.

Once it was clear this wouldn't happen, he was gone.

Toward the end of the fighting, Bruce made his way back to his seat with a flask in hand. "I didn't miss the whole thing, did I?"

Kate looked surprised, but only for about a dozen seconds or so. That was about as long as it took to realize something like this had happened at every graduation she'd been a part of.

Everyone would be fine. She was sure. Mostly.

"Really?"

Robin, horrified at the merciless malleting of the adorable Muppet-like creatures did not stick around to watch.

Ender sighed and rubbed at his face. He glanced towards Ben.

"You did bring snacks, right?"

Re: AUDIENCE!

[momslilassassin]

"Of course," Ben said, holding out a bag. "Pretzel?"

Re: AUDIENCE!

[endsthegame]

Ender took one. Naturally. "What did we get during ours again?"

Re: AUDIENCE!

[familypublicist.livejournal.com]

... Well.

This was not going to get out to the media, no. Rebecca was already considering just fleeing.

"Oi, no FAIR! Why do they get all the fun?"

Pounding against the invisible dome with her baseball bat just threw sparks back in Ace's face, but it didn't stop her from trying.

Raven was far too used to this now. She sighed and shook her head, keeping an eye on Karla as best she could.

She'd also do her best to assure any anxious Kaeleer visitors that this was completely normal, and Karla would be fine.

"Here we go," Dinah said, leaning forward, video camera recording. "Think her gown will survive this?"

Re: AUDIENCE!

[trigons_child]

Raven smiled at Dinah. "I think she will be showing off what she can do with her new Jewel," she said.

Re: AUDIENCE!

"Too true. This really is the perfect time to do it. What are those things?" Dinah wondered, stopping to look around the viewfinder for a minute.

Re: AUDIENCE!

[trigons_child]

"I have no idea," Raven said. "They do not seem malicious, though." She wasn't down with smacking them around just because they were there, though it was dangerous with the way the earth was moving.

"Props for new and weird ways to mess with the grads," Dinah observed. "Although I'm a little sorry they're not making Karla sing. That was funny."

Re: AUDIENCE!

[trigons_child]

"Singing is not so bad," Raven said, watching the creatures and trying to figure out if they were up to something other than general mayhem. "Though there is enough of that forced from Fandom on those special days."

Re: AUDIENCE!

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"No joke," Dinah mused. "So are you guys going straight to Glacia tomorrow, do you know? Or is it going to be a week or so?... Probably better to ask Karla, really. But I so need to pack."

Re: AUDIENCE!

[trigons_child]

"I am not entirely certain," Raven said. "I know it will be soon. I have placed everything I do not need in storage in Gotham, however, and I am ready to go as soon as she is. But I would like to be able to say my goodbyes to Barbara and Helena and Alfred before we go."

Momoko made her way through the seats, looking for the !!!KARLA!!!! contingency. She had a time of it since she was carrying as many snacks as she could.

"MMVN? MRRY MYM MATE; MN MY MIT MERE?"

Which could be translated to "Raven? SOrry I'm late; can I sit here?" if you took into account the fact she had a bag of hummus chips in her mouth.



Brain melted yesterday and I zoned it was even graduation!

Re: AUDIENCE!

[trigons_child]

"Of course you may sit," Raven said. She spoke mumbling! But she did offer a helping hand or two so that Momoko could settle without dropping all her snacks. Mmm, hummus chips.

Re: AUDIENCE!

[heromaniac]

"Oof! Thank you! I hope I got enough for everyone. Am I in time for the graduation test? I saw the procession from the path." She plopped into her seat with en eyeroll and a grin. "Stupid Portalocity."

Re: AUDIENCE!

[trigons_child]

"I think it is about to begin," Raven said, nodding toward the stage. She squinted at the strange creatures that were appearing. "I do not know what those are, however."

Re: AUDIENCE!

[heromaniac]

"Ah! Yay! Help yourself to the handwavysnacks, by the way. I got stranded in an interdimensional mall or something so I bought anything I could recognize. It's not aliens, is it?" Momoko opened a bag of candy herself. Or at least she hoped it was candy... "They're not molemen. Though they kind of look like it... Have they come out of the ground all the way, yet?"
