Animal-Balancing Contest (evening, FHT - first floor lobby)

Rory arrived in the lobby balancing a tank with a wee turtle in it against one hip, a box from J,GOB in the opposite arm, and a flying puppy on a leash leading her.

She tied Vladdie to the leg of a table, set Yoda's tank and the cake down, and looked around to see what she still needed to set up.

[Yes, even crack-addled ideas like this need OCD threads. Wait for 'em. They're up, but play on the contest itself won't start until 5:30 EST.

ETA: And yes, it originally said it was in the afternoon. This is now set about 8:30 PM FHT.

SON OF ETA: You can eat cake now. Rufus is here!]

Molly recognizes the items she and John had purchased earlier and started laughing.

"Have we met?" He grinned and gave her a wink. "I don't think I've had the pleasure."

Molly stopped giggling for a moment. "Never seen you before in my life," she said before starting to giggle again.

"Me neither," he held out his hand to shake. "Name's Herb."

"You as well, little lady," he pumped her hand up and down with vigor. "What's your name?"

"Molly," she said and pumped his hand in return.

"Pleasure to meet you, Molly," he said, still pumping her hand with big up and down gestures. "That was my mother's name. Or maybe my aunt's. I get 'em mixed up."

Molly was still giggling at the hand shaking. "Must make Mother's Day confusing."

"You do not know the half of it," he said. "They do not make Hallmark cards for that kind of situation, I will tell you that for free."
