Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part II

There were plenty of chairs and tables by the bonfire, and some further out on the lawn for anyone who might want to enjoy their food alone, or just gaze at the new folks and try to figure them out. All of these potential activities were valid!

[OCD is up! This is the picnic post for general mingling. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"No."

She wasn't even going to try telling him how many years it had been since she'd worked there. Mostly because she didn't want to count and know that for herself.

"Devil's Nest, bartending."

"They at least let you near the playlist there?"

Dante vaguely remembered her being big on like, loud shit.

He really wasn't wrong. But. "I don't really touch it much."

Her relationship with music had been kind of weird ever since she'd been back.

Dante blinked. "Why not?" he said.

Octavia didn't really know why.

So all she could offer was a tiny shrug.

"I mean, you gotta do you," Dante said slowly, taking a sip from his near-abandoned soda. "If you're not into music anymore."

He had a hard time imagining anybody not being into music, but, well. He did have an electric bat guitar living inside of him.

"It's been a long time, Dante," Octavia rasped.

The near-decade since they'd last talked was there in the details, if he cared to look.

"Not that long," Dante said, tilting his head and frowning.

"Not for you, I guess."

She took a long, slow sip from her glass.

"This is one of those fucking terrible Fandom time things again, isn't it?" Dante said, and sighed.

Octavia's voice wasn't getting any less dry, no. "It's been like ten years since I saw you."

Well, would you look at that. Ended up with a number there whether she'd wanted to or not.
rebelseekspizza: (dante pb - down)

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2021]

[personal profile] rebelseekspizza 2021-01-02 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"Huh," Dante said. Parsed that. "Well, guess you look good for your age, huh."
okteiviakom: ([neu] yeah that'll suck)

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2021]

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2021-01-02 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"Thanks."

... That was a slightly different shade of dry, but still.

"Need me to drop by your shift and pick out a few bangers from back in the day to get you back into it?"

... probably not the first thing he should have jumped to after that, but hey.
okteiviakom: ([neu] i had a dream once)

Yeah, Octavia's eyebrows went up just a tiny bit. "You're free to if you want to," she said, after a beat.

She would not be answering the 'need' part of his question, obviously.

"Cool," Dante said easily. "So what'd you get up to?"

"Got thrown back where I came from."

Most people would have elaborated beyond that, probably.

"Definitely wasn't a good one."

"So on a scale of one to ten, where one's like 'I went home and it got super cold but everything else was chill' and ten's 'I died and turned into a zombie'..."

Dante.

A beat.

"That last one."
rebelseekspizza: (dante pb: looking down)

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2021]

[personal profile] rebelseekspizza 2021-01-02 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"Fuck," Dante said. "Now I feel like I owe you a drink."
okteiviakom: ([neu] not again)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2021-01-02 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Octavia's lopsided shrug had remained the same over the years. It was what it was.

(As if there wasn't still an ocean of rage inside her about everything that had happened to her.)

"I already drink enough."

"I'll just stick with bringing the music, then."
