[OOC: Yeah... Of course I come online as soon as Ash makes off with the big boomstick thingie.]

Beverages and Food line the common room. Kick back and enjoy kids.

Angela wrinkles her forehead. "I'm not completely sure about that myself. I know it's a party attached to a big high school football game, but I don't know what makes one game homecoming and another ... not."

"Do they have football where you're from?"

"Is that anything like Calvinball?"

"Calvinball?" Angela frowns, trying to remember where she's seen the name. Her eyes light up when she gets it. "You mean like in that cartoon with the kid and the tiger? Make it up as you go along? That Calvinball?"

"It's from a cartoon?" River seems astonished. "But... we used to play it all the time on Serenity! What's football like, then?"

Angela smiles. "Yeah, it was a comic strip back in ... the 1980s and 1990s, I guess? My sister and my dad totally loved it."

She concentrates trying to figure out how to explain football, then gives up. "Football is a lot more rules-y. Like, two teams are both trying to get the ball through a goal, and you get different numbers of points depending on how you get it through the goal, and you're allowed to tackle each other." She sighs. "I never liked it, so I'm kind of glad this school doesn't have a team."

"And that's related to the dance somehow?" River absorbs this new bit of information. Then... "Weird. So you and he are going to go together?"

"It is weird, isn't it?" Angela says. Then, "Marty and I are going to go together, yeah. We're talking about going in a group with ... have you met Rory Gilmore or Logan Echolls?"

"I don't think so. Logan... is he connected with Veronica Mars somehow?"

Angela squints, trying to remember. "I think they went to the same high school in California," Angela hazards.

[OOC: I honestly can't remember how much Angela has heard from Rory about the Veronica/Logan thing. I think not much, if anything.]

"No one's asked me yet." She shrugs. "But what with being in the clinic, and now the zombie attacks... it's been a busy week."

Angela smiles at River. "I think a lot of people haven't even started thinking about homecoming," she says. "it's been a crazy week for everyone."

She downs the last of her drink and looks down at the drying zombie goo on her shirt. "I'm going to go try and grab a shower before I pass out. Let me know when you reschedule the '80's movies night, 'cause I'd love to come."

"OK. I'll definitely let you know!" River waves as Angela makes her exit, then looks for another conversation to strike up or step into.
