After a long day at his open classroom, The Tick entered the common room wearing a snazzy hat made of Peeps. It was starting to look less like a hat and more like a bunch of Peeps just kind of stuck to his head.

It was time to party.

Since his son was still a no show, Commander Adama wanders down to the mixer alone.

When he notices the blue gentleman in the tie and hat, he has immediate Cylon thoughts but tries to keep himself under control. Intel was his friend.

"Good evening," he says to the blue gentleman.

"Hello, Parent or Guardian! How are you this evening?" The Tick removed a marshmallow from his hat. It looked like a duckie. "Peep?" he offered.

"Parent," Adama supplies. "I am William Adama, Lee Adama's father." Adama eyes the "Peep" warily. "What is a Peep?"

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Lee Adama... I think I've heard the name, but I've never had the pleasure of meeting the lad!"

Tick quickly raises the Peep uncomfortably close to Adama's face. "Peeps are little marshmallow animals. They're not usually sold this far from Easter, but I have them on a hat!"

Momentarily separated from his Padawan, Obi-Wan wandered into the common room. A large blue gentleman seemed to be be hosting the party, so Obi-Wan approached to introduce himself.

"Good evening," he said, nodding. "That's a very festive hat you have there."

"Thank you, good Parent or Guardian! It's made of Peeps! Would you like one? By the way, I am The Tick! I'm a professor here."

Paige wonders in and sees all the new people all of them guardians

"Hi," she says "who are you here for?"

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Me," Anakin said, walking towards his Master.

Adama, again, resists the urge to step back. The Peep looks harmless but so had that toaster on Picon. "And they would be for eating?"

[master2-whiners.livejournal.com]

"Master, actually -- a teacher. It's a pleasure to meet you." Obi-Wan eyed the sticky confection warily. "You're very kind, thank you."

Having tried all day and yet failed to find Cadet Carson, Doggie Cruger finally decides to just go to the mixer and hope he'll run into Bridge there. He surveys the refreshment table with passive interest and finally settles on a cup of punch, then stands near the door waiting for Kat and, hopefully, Bridge at some point.

Obi-Wan turned upon hearing his padawan's voice. "Ah, there you are!"

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Of course they are, chum! My name is The Tick, by the way! I teach here."

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Paige smiles "oh right, Anakin isn't it? I came to Deep Thoughts but I don't think we've really met."

Since the party is in the dorms and Jack figures John will be down soon enough, he gives him the time. He enters the mixer, grabs a soda and leans against a wall.

"Sorry to have fallen behind, Master," Anakin said. He stared at the crowd, pausing for a moment on Professor Tick's hat before moving on. "Welcome to a pretty typical weekend."

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Ah, a fellow teacher!" Tick's antennae curled in curiosity. "What school do you teach at, chum?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_original_emo/]

Adama slowly takes the Peep from The Tick as he so said his name was. He took a hesitant bite....and really liked it! He chewed on it, trying not to look too happy. "A teacher? What do you teach?"

[master2-whiners.livejournal.com]

"At the Jedi Academy on Coruscant." Obi-Wan paused. "It's not local."

"And what are you a professor of?"

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin looked at her. "And you're Paige, right?" His voice was flat, and he took another step towards Obi-Wan. "I've heard about you."

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Criminal Justice, chum! How the good guys fight the bad guys at all levels of the Law! It's really keen stuff!"

Callisto wanders in and takes up a position against a wall where she can keep an eye on the door.

[master2-whiners.livejournal.com]

"Not to worry, I've just been chatting with one of the professors."

"So, fairly quiet, with the occasional pleasant oddity?" he murmured.
