Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2020, Early Saturday Evening [Part 2]

[bigdamnprincipal]

As the last diploma was handed out, there was a moment of quiet as those who had attended one of these ceremonies before waited to see what would happen.

Then, when Zoe got up to usher everyone away, the lawn was suddenly full of the island's animals--squirrels, teal deer, alots, even a few gremlins--carrying signs bearing what could only be described as squirrel handwriting.

"'We... want hats too?' 'Haberdashery for all?' Are you [microphone feedback] kidding me?!"

An angry woodchuck pushed through the squirrels and chucked a piece of wood at her, and as the barrier came down separating the graduates from the crowd, anyone close enough could probably hear, "That's not why you're called woodchucks!"

Graduates! [Grad 2020]

If you really think about it, it wasn't fair that the birds got all the attention when it came to headwear, right?

If you don't agree, there's some creatures that would like to argue with you, probably through stomping and biting.

"You know what?" Tip said, bending down to get closer to eye level with the critters (and watching those signs). "That's a good point! Equal headgear for all!"

. . . What?

Animals. Storming the lawn. Demanding...hats.

Prompto gasped.

"My time to shine has come!" he announced, bolting to his feet, feeling very much like this was some sort of destiny that had befallen him from that first fashion class when he'd just arrived and....well, the one other class that was very, very topical, but still!

"Quick! Someone get me some faux leather, some thimbles, and some very strong needles! Wayne! Go to the shelter and let the pups know we need to borrow their bin of hats! It's a....fashion emergency!"

Did he actually expect Wayne to go get the bin of hats that had slowly been building over the semester? Not really. But that wasn't the point.

"If I may," said Sidon, flashing his best grin, "my dear woodland animals of this island, suggest but one very important thing to consider: if you're anything like myself, you may actually find that hats," and here he doffed his mortarboard and tossed it to the nearest alot, though it was, unsurprisingly, intercepted by a teal dear, "much like clothing," to prove his point, the robe would have to go, too, "is highly overrated!"

He was, of course, incredibly biased, but he figured his enthusiasm and shirking of such material objects could rally at least a few of these poor beleagured critters!

Yeah, this was definitely something that would never happen after passing one's aptitudes.

Tisarwat was considering just generally ignoring this, since the other seemed to have it pretty well handled, but, unable to help herself, she did chance to venture, at a woodchuck that was getting uncomfortably close with its protesting, "You know, hats are nice, I'll agree with you all there, but have you considered maybe what you really need are gloves?"

She was...mostly joking.
