Parents' Weekend Evening Event - Saturday Evening Sock Hop

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?

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

Death turned to eye the boy for a moment. At least he was being polite about it. "Something with cheese maybe. Fried."

Cecil nodded. "I'll go look!"

After a few minutes, he came back out with a plate of things. "We have cheese cubes, but not fried. And we have these mini fried crab cakes, but I don't think they have cheese. So I brought them both." He smiled. "I think they were supposed to get put out later, but since you were asking, here you go!"

"They will suffice," he replied with a wane smile. "Aren't you a polite boy."

Cecil cocked his head and shrugged. He didn't bother correcting the "boy" comment, since this guy seemed like he'd think Cecil-full-grown was a boy, too. "Well, I try, I guess. You're very polite, too, so why would I want to be mean? Plus I'm on the student council now, and it would really reflect badly on the school if I was."

He'd call Eric and Tamsin children still. Well, possibly even younger than that.

"Ah yes, the school. An odd mix here."

"It's great, isn't it?" Cecil looked around at everyone. "Diversity's something every place should strive for."

Granted, they generally meant different genders and creeds and such, and skin colors that didn't necessarily include blue, but that was just narrow-minded.

"Why not. It all ends the same."

Said the expert.

"Well, true." Cecil shrugged. "But from an ephemeral standpoint, having lots of different types of people around makes it much more interesting!"

Death gave him a look that was both amused and unimpressed by the fact that a bacteria was speaking to him about this. "Of course."

But he was a polite (and very chipper) bacterium!

"Can I get you any other refreshments or anything? Or - oh, are you looking for anyone?"

Because if not, he had a boyfriend to cuddle up to. And those two things had better not be related.

"No, I'll be seeing him tomorrow." And that wasn't ominous at all. "Have fun with Carlos, Cecil."

That also was not ominous.

"Thanks! I plan to." And that was probably a more mischievous grin than Death generally saw directed his way, but Cecil figured he could handle it.

"Have fun while you're here, sir! And let me know if you need any more cheese or anything."

Cecil ate ominous for breakfast. It was the name of a great wheat-free cereal.
