Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2018, Early Saturday Evening [Part 1]

[bigdamnprincipal]

As soon as the sun was down, everything was ready for the graduation ceremony to begin. The lawn of the school had been lit up with blue and gold lights, which reflected nicely off of the glitter scattered throughout the lawn. Yes, glitter was going to get all over everything, sorry.

There were chairs set up for all of the graduates, and plenty of seats for guests to come and watch. The weather was beautiful, cooling off after the hot, sunny day, and everything seemed quiet, calm, and normal. You know, for now.

Congratulations, Class of 2018! You made it to the end!

Phèdre practically quivered in excitement, looking around avidly at, well, everything. Hyacinthe had told her about this place, but she'd dismissed most of them as the fanciful tales of the Prince of Travelers. But to be here, and seeing it all--

Terre D'Ange was still more beautiful by far, but there were so many interesting things to see. "Look at that device!" she chattered in D'Angeline, jostling Joscelin's arm. "The one boy that holding out! It's playing...music? I think that's music?"

Joscelin gave his charge a disgusted look, gracefully withdrawing his arm from her grip. "'Tis like no music I've ever heard," he declared. "'Tis discordant and loud."

Still, he was a son of Siovale, and he couldn't help but wish for an opportunity to study the device further. But instead, he stood firm, interposing himself between Phèdre and the rest of the crowd. Mostly to keep her from temptation than because he thought anyone here would be a danger to her.

"Honestly, Joscelin, sit," Phèdre said. "You are impeding my view."

[cassilinekilljoy]

"Of your next potential client?" he sneered, continuing to stand.

"Mayhaps," Phèdre said, tossing her long, dark hair, the mark in her eye catching the setting sun. "I must fulfill my marque somehow."

"You'll not!" Joscelin declared, aware she was likely teasing, but unable to not rise to the bait anyway. "Messire Delaunay charged me with your protection and that includes protecting you from your baser--"

"Peace," Anasztaizia said. Instantly, both Phèdre and Joscelin quieted. "It begins."

And, less than a minute later, the strings began playing the opening of Pomp and Circumstance.

"This, at least, is music," Joscelin hissed a moment later as Phèdre yanked him into a seat.

Ada heard the cadences of D'Angeline from somewhere in the seats, and was occasionally subtly sneaking peeks from her spot by Ezra, trying to figure out who it was.

...She was gonna guess the girl with the tense man. They looked the most out-of-place that was obviously not Space Stuff. His Delaunay, then, and Phèdre? She couldn't think of who else they could be, anyway. Oh! ....Then that was probably his mama.

Suddenly Ada was a lot more nervous than she had been, and was incredibly interested in her phone or Ezra. Anything that wasn't over there.
