WTFH, Saturday, April 16
So this is why I didn't have to chaperone last night? Because I have to read the notes? Fine fine, let's get this over with.
The school was pretty calm today, probably since all the upperclassmen were focused on prom. Advanced Driver's Ed raced some big rigs, Defending Yourself Against Magic got to tell Bob what else they want to learn since their final is coming up, and 20th Century American History talked about the 70's, and why Nixon was the worst. He was the worst, kids, trust me.
Prom? Prom. With a Viking theme . . . and glitter, of course. Obviously.
Everybody arrived to be greeted by a whole lot of cardboard Fabio cutouts wearing Viking helmets, because this is Fandom. Cue the inevitable "horny" joke from Dante, who's Alana's date. Per their discussion, Fabio does not seem to be their type. Smart kids. Cassandra goes "ugh," and Face points out it could have been an Orlesian theme. Apparently Cassie is all worried that she's too severe for him at events like this. Say it with me, squirrels. Awwwwww....
*squirrel-ish awwwws*
Close enough. Lucille and Cassandra discuss the decor. They are not exactly favorable about it, but this leads into discussion about how Lucille could play the piano for Cassandra and Face sometime. Thorin is offended by the glitter -- get used to it, squire -- and Lucille greets him. They at least agree the music is acceptable before their small talk starts getting snippy. Claws in, kids, prom is where you do covert social backstabbing, not overt squabbling. Eggsy approves of Ride of the Valkyries but thinks Viking romance would be bloodier. Mara, who is totally not spinning in her dress really -- why do you squirrels put these things in the notes? -- suggests maybe that'll happen after prom court is announced. Not a bad guess, Mara.
Ada's all glittery and was enjoying herself. Dante appreciated the amount of effort she went to, and they made plans for a dance later in the evening, possibly knocking out and abducting the DJ if he didn't quit playing slow songs. Kids after my own heart. Isabela felt Ada had her outglittered, and there was flirting and plans to dance. Raven and Jalian show up in matching blue and white outfits, and they're not sure about the music being romantic. Jalian said she's better at battles than romance, but she's definitely up for practicing with Raven. Dancing, that is.
People could get photographs taken with backdrops of Viking-themed romance covers or ships, and there was food, of course, and punch. Frank just went for his own booze when he finds out the punch isn't spiked. Frank, you broke the High School Code. The first to drink the punch has to spike the punch.
And then there was dancing. Raven and Jalian hit the dance floor, and Jalian demonstrated how dancing reminds her of battle. Raven also explained to her about the Vikings, a little bit.
There were the usual shadowy corners, and the chaperones were there to keep everything under control. Atton wondered why he always agrees to do this, and Parker suggested the island makes him. Eliot and Hardison were bickering like little old married ladies about each other's outfits before providing a terrible example to the students. and Parker was messing with Eliot's hair, too. Parker thinks the decor is like the inside of a snow globe -- you're not wrong, Parker -- but Hardison's looking at her, not the decor. Also wanting to know why Fabio is staring at him. Because Fabio has no soul, Hardison. No. Soul.
Then it was what all you kids were waiting for: Zoe announced prom court: Cassandra, Isabela, Thorin, Anders, Face, and Raven.
Raven reacted by squealing, and 'smoochies' with Jalian, then she and Face danced as king and queen.
Cassandra was annoyed and Thorin was confused, they decided it is a silly custom so they agreed to dance together to get it over with. Isabela asked Cassandra to dance but got turned down. Cold, Cassie. Ada catcalled Isabela when she got her crown, though, so she's got at least one fan.
And the night ended at the dorms with Dante and Alana going back to his room.
That's all the notes I got, so until next week, Fandom. Don't do anything I'd do.
