Welcome Home!

The news had spread quickly in such a small campus and, though no one had been planning in in advance, the Gardens were quickly being decorated to celebrate the homecoming of the conquering space heroes!

"OK, banner up there! Hang it from the statues!" Will called out. "We need some tables here, here, and here. Don't worry where we're getting the food from; I've got pizza on the way."

((wide open!))

by **Onyx** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 10:31 pm

Onyx stepped through the shadows, holding several large warming bags filled with pizza from London.

"Where do you want these, ma'am?" Onyx asks.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 10:33 pm

"Yes! Onyx, perfect! Right there on those tables, if'n you please."

by **Onyx** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 10:36 pm

Onyx quickly obeyed and then disappeared to run more errands.

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 11:01 pm

Haley wandered into the garden a bit shyly, not really sure who'd actually be here yet, but she was bored and most of her friends back in the States had stopped bothering the respond to her texts.

by **Aisha Khan** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 11:06 pm

"Hey." Aisha said, coming up behind her. Aisha was...well, Aisha wasn't visible, but her clothes were.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 11:08 pm

Hey, free pizza. Rachel thought as she looked around Looks like I picked a good time to break for lunch.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 11:08 pm

"Howdy strangers! Come on over, we've got plenty of pizza.

I hope."

by **David Renko** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 11:12 pm

Several tables seemed to appear out of nowhere as Renko set them up per Will's instructions.

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 11:15 pm

"Hey," she smiled, hiding her startling fairly well. "Aisha, right? I love your shirt."

by **Onyx** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 11:16 pm

Onyx returned again, this time with half a dozen coolers filled with ice and drinks.

by **Sean Hall** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 11:19 pm

"Think this school has plenty of individuals who can make sure that doesn't happen,," Sean said looking like he was stuck between a few different emotions. "Think we're better off hoping it doesn't start raining, mate."

With that he grabbed one of the coolers of refreshments and moved it to where it was supposed to go.

by **Onyx** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 11:20 pm

Onyx frowned at the help, but kept her mouth shut. Complaining in public was not a way of endearing oneself to your betters.

Instead, she just worked quickly, setting up the remaining coolers.

Haley Crusek wrote:"Hey," she smiled, hiding her startling fairly well. "Aisha, right? I love your shirt."

"Thanks!" Aisha said, sounding cheerful "I wanted to wear something bright, so people would notice me right away."

by **Oka Aina** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 11:55 pm

Oka more or less wandered into the party. He looked a bit lost as he looked at what looked like a map then back up at the organized chaos of the party. Probably didn't help that he stood out while wearing a yellow and black containment suit.

"What is going on," Oka said in a robotic tone.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 11:56 pm

Stephanie came in carrying what appeared to be a full keg of root beer with one arm. She crossed the party casually, making sure not to hit anyone or any of the decorations, and set the keg down near the table full of buckets of ice, plastic cups.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 11:56 pm

"A party. To welcome our new comers -- and friends back from a long trip."

"It works," she grinned. "Wanna get something to drink?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 11:59 pm

A winged figure came in for a landing at the edge of the garden, slowing so that he landed walking into the crowd with an easy smile. Hmm... soda or beer. Let's see what kind of party this is...

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Mon Aug 27, 2012 12:03 am

OMG. Rachel thought as she spotted Ryan Its Ryan freaking Gabriel, and I smell like a goat and my hair is ratty and oh well, still worth a shot she took a deep breath, put a smile on her face and a little sway into her hips and walked over "Hi! she said, smiling at him "I'm Rachel."

by **Haley Crusek** » Mon Aug 27, 2012 12:07 am

Haley's jaw dropped when Ryan came in.

"Holy shit, Aisha, look who just came into the party," she said, grabbing her arm excitedly. "Oh my gosh he's even hotter in person...."

"Oh.... Mahalo," Oka said seeming to get his bearings, "I thought I'd gotten myself lost already. This wasn't here when I walked through this part of campus...ten or fifteen minutes ago."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Mon Aug 27, 2012 12:10 am

Ryan looked over his shoulder as he picked up a soda. Well now... what have we here? "Hi," he said with a smile. "I'm Ryan," he said, turning around. "Just get here?" he guessed, giving her a quick once-over.

"Is that Ryan Gabriel?" Aisha asked "I guess he's ok looking. Not quite my type, though."

"Got to London last night, got here this morning." Rachel said "I decided to take a break from unpacking, and spotted the free pizza."

by **Haley Crusek** » Mon Aug 27, 2012 12:15 am

"Yeah it is," she practically squealed. "Oh my gosh, so hot. Older, sure but...oh man. I've had a crush on him since I was like in sixth grade."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Mon Aug 27, 2012 12:18 am

"Ahhh, still unpacking? Haven't had a look around yet?" Ryan said, a smile slowly spreading across his face.

by **Aisha Khan** » Mon Aug 27, 2012 12:19 am

"And you're in eight grade now." Aisha teased.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Aug 27, 2012 12:20 am

Oh, cool, free pizza! Alex thought as he walked out into the garden. Wait, does British pizza taste like pizza? Does that make sense? Oh well. Time to find out.

"I haven't had a chance." Rachel said, "I'd like to, the little bit I saw as we were driving in looked cool."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Aug 27, 2012 12:21 am

Lothario, Will chuckled under his breath.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Mon Aug 27, 2012 12:24 am

"Hm. Well, I think we could do something about that," Ryan said with a smile. "Are you just unpacking? Or do you still have stuff to move yet?"

by **Haley Crusek** » Mon Aug 27, 2012 12:30 am

Aisha Khan wrote:"And you're in eight grade now." Aisha teased.

"Shut up! I'm a freshman!" she laughed defensively.

by **Ayami Morita** » Mon Aug 27, 2012 12:31 am

Ayami rolled up, wearing shades.

Ahhh, fresh meat.

"I've got a few boxes." Rachel said "They are kind of heavy, but I can probably manage."

by **Onyx** » Mon Aug 27, 2012 12:36 am

Onyx ignored the growing crowd, fussing with table decorations and other preparations.

"Duh, I know that since I'm in your grade." Aisha replied "He's ok, but he is super old. And super into the girl. I don't wanna judge, but she's totally flirting with him."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Mon Aug 27, 2012 12:39 am

Ryan just gave her a look. "Or I could help you out," he said with a smile. "So where are you from?" he asked, leaning back against a tree.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Mon Aug 27, 2012 12:42 am

"Arizona." Rachel replied "Phoenix. Well, really Mesa, but no one knows where that is."

by **Haley Crusek** » Mon Aug 27, 2012 12:46 am

"Oh my gosh, I'd flirt with him if he wouldn't just laugh in my face. Or probably get arrested for flirting with me," she sighed. "Stupid age...c'mon, let's get those drinks so I can stare closer and daydream a little bit longer."
