Parents' Weekend Evening Event - Saturday Evening Sock Hop

[voiceoverdue]

The student council folks had discussed events for Parents' Weekend and decided upon a sock hop at the community center.

So, the whole place was now kitschily appropriately decorated and very glittery, the refreshments were set out, and the music was playing.

There was also a large box of socks at the doorway, for those who felt their socks were too threadbare or too boring, who didn't have any socks, or who came from a world where socks didn't exist. None of the socks matched. Some seemed to be made of extremely odd materials. Some had capes and/or toes (not always five). Most were interesting color combinations. Nearly all had googly eyes that seemed to actually be looking around at things.

Hopefully they were at least good dancers?

Arrive/Get Socks

Moddable, possibly semi-sentient socks of all stripes! Literally!

The last time Fandom had hosted a sock hop, Topher had managed to get punched in the face, but he didn't think that was going to happen tonight. But the night might surprise him.

He selected a truly dorky pair of socks and shuffled over to find some food. Maybe something jello-based.

Hang out by the refreshments

Nom!

Gert was under no circumstances going to dance around in her socks at this thing, and she surveyed the room with a truly impressive amount of judgeyness.

Yeah, this was the school she had only yesterday described as "not completely terrible." Maybe she needed to rethink that.

"I thought I was done with lame dances," Nico observed, leaning over to rest her head against Gert's. "Good thing I like my socks."

They were black fishnets with slim maroon stripes, and might look totally terrible on anyone but Nico.

There was an older man in a nice, black suit perusing the refreshments to see if any were worthy of his attention.

Apparently just the chips so far.

You got lucky, Fandom.

"Hi!" Cecil grinned at the man. "Were you looking for something else? I can check in the kitchen."

Theo was going to let Dr. Brockton do whatever he wanted to do while he hung around the food and drinks. The weekend hadn't been bad so far since he hadn't been talked to death but he was still wary.

Look who'd finally made it out of her room! Yes, Karolina had spent most of the past week in the safe confines of her room because... Because. Reasons.

There was no need to discuss that.

Point was, she was here now, in a rainbow-striped dress, and a pair of matching socks. Hanging out a little awkwardly by the refreshments, yes.

[triesnottodie.livejournal.com]

Nico hadn't exactly been thrilled to be here; school dances were exactly as lame as she remembered. But seeing Karolina, even if she knew from Gert that it was the wrong Karolina, made it almost worth it. The one back home was in a foster home far from anybody.

"Hey," she said. "So even if you're from a different universe or whatever, like Gert said, it's still really good to see you. And I love that dress."

It wasn't anything Nico would wear, but on Karolina rainbow stripes were perfect.

After they met up earlier, Jessica spent a lot of time trying to remind Miles that with great power came great responsibility.

And then Miles saw that Jessica was spending her time helping to put together sock hops. Student Council President. Sure. "Total hypocrite," he muttered under his breath as he grabbed some punch.

Mingle!

[voiceoverdue]

Or be a wallflower! Not literally!

Jim didn't know why he was here since he figured Pike would find him and glare at him some more. He probably should have been hiding but that would have been a wuss thing to do. He wasn't afraid of Pike.

Yes, he was.

He was hanging out against one wall, drink in hand and keeping an eye out for any stern looking Starfleet captains or anyone else that he might wanna talk with.

Re: Mingle!

Checking up on your friends was probably a thing to do after a long week of self-imposed solitude. So that was what Karolina was doing.

"Hey, Jim."

There was, during a very brief window of the evening, a sullen, expressionless April wallflowering it up near a punch table, wearing mismatched socks (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__V6K14QXBMo/SQpX2--GKeI/AAAAAAAAAi8/ydFv_6yoaKY/s1600-h/P1010089.JPG).

She was here for the hopefully-spiked punch and some food before she started her bar shift. Not to make new friends.

Unless they were hot.

Hannibal had socks. They were very good quality, comfortable, and utterly boring. It felt rather odd being out in them, but he was still here, ready to meet any of his students or their families that came by.

Re: Mingle!

"A sock hop?" It was just so quaint and not at all Hannibal.

Dr. Brockton had to be amused by the decor. Even if he hadn't quite gotten a handle on this school and Theo's adjustment to said school, he couldn't doubt that they seemed to take care of their students.

He came in quietly, watching the crowd and making mental notes every so often.

"Wow, it's an actual sock hop," Sam said to Josh. "With socks and presumably hopping. You go to black tie dinners at the White House and now you do this."

Re: Mingle!

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

"Hey, now, snobby," Josh said, "we have an important function at these things: making sure no one spikes the punch so badly that they need their stomachs pumped."

Chris was at this dance too, Jim. So, look forward to being judged from a distance.

He'd skipped the socks, though. Starfleet captains didn't need to borrow them, thank you.

Re: Mingle!

April gave the guy a nod. Mostly because he was seriously attractive. Actually, entirely because of that.

Also, she'd gotten into the punch, so.

"Sup."

Jessica was a little bit late because she had to make some phone calls to people at SHIELD and figure out what the hell was going on, why the hell she hadn't been told anything before now, and what the hell was going on. The hell.

Eventually, though, she had to make her way to the sock hop. She was President, after all. Which, what the hell about that, too? Anyway, she was besocked and ready to pretend to party while really trying not to get on the phone and yell more.

Dance!

Enjoy the music from a time period and planet combo most of you don't know!
