Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2021, Early Saturday Evening

[bigdamnprincipal]

After everything that had happened this week, it felt a little strange to just move on with graduation like normal. But, traditions were important, everything seemed to be mostly back to normal, and a little celebration might do wonders for cheering people up after such an emotionally taxing week. Plus, Fandom had to be out of weird crap to throw at people, so maybe the ceremony would be nice and mundane.

No one was actually saying that out loud, of course, but there was nothing wrong with holding onto a little hope.

As the sun went down, the finishing touches of decorations were made; the lawn of the school had been lit up with blue and gold lights, and there were chairs set up for all of the graduates, along with plenty of seats for guests to come and watch. The weather was behaving itself, and it looked like it would be a nice, warm spring evening.

Congratulations, Class of 2021!

The Procession! [Grad 21]

[bigdamnprincipal]

At the appropriate moment, there was Pomp and Circumstance, because even this place followed some normal traditions. It was time for the soon-to-be-graduates to make the last adjustments to their blue and gold robes, and get to walking to their seats!

Adora was mainly focused on trying not to trip over her robes.

When she wasn't trying to tug the neckline up to cover the massive hickey she hadn't had an hour ago.

"Nice hickey," Eleanor said offering Adora a sip from her flask.

Did she pregame graduation? Yes. Yes she did.

Adora coughed and blushed as she unwisely took the flask.

"Catra was happy to see me." The feeling had been mutual, but fur covered a multitude of things.

Weirdly this might be the only day ever where Sabine ended up wearing the same thing as everyone else. She had painted her symbol on the top of her cap, though, so there.

Fer someone always going on and on about tradition, Wayne felt a bit uncomfortable of all the pomp and circumstances involved in gettin' to the Pomp and Circumstance, and it had nothing to do with any disappointment at there not being plaid-patterned robes.

He was mostly focusing on not trying to fuss too much with his hat.

Shuri gave Wayne a cheeky wave from her spot in line.

Re: The Procession! [Grad 21]

And that cheeky wave was met with a careful nod.

Because anything more would mean having to fuss with that hat some more.

Lana had, as she'd promised/threatened Sabine, had her robes altered and armour added so they were now typical Sith robes. If this went as most graduations here, she would probably appreciate the armour.

She was a bit sad her time here was close to an end, even if she was looking forward to going back home soon, too.
