Dorm Lobby | Wednesday During and After Classes

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

There was excitement in the air. Okay, maybe that was just the mixture of Caroline's perfume and fresh baked cookies or just the scent of fresh permanent marker emanating from the sign adorning her table in the lobby.

Her purpose was the same as the words on the poster that had been glitter-fied at the KDG meeting:

SHOW OFF!
Sign up to perform in the Student Council Parent Weekend Recital!
When: SATURDAY EVENING
Where: The COMMUNITY CENTER

With a great big smile, Caroline was ready to do her Student Council duty and chat up anyone who looked in need of some persuasion to participate. Um, not that she was going to be using her special, vampiric talents to fill the sign up list. That would be bad, even if it would mean a seriously amazing show.

Hmm. Maybe she should just stick with the cookie bribe.

[The lobby is open! There is OCD!]

Caroline!

Who would love to convince you to embarrass yourself in front of her friends and family.

Kate was not planning on embarassing herself in front of anyone, and it was unlikely anyone was going to be able to change her mind on that front.

Which did not stop her from pausing by her favourite nausea inducing fake sibling's table as she passed. "Didn't they quit organising recitals for kids after fifth grade?"

Re: Caroline!

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

Caroline smiled sweetly, hoping her perfume added to her sibling's dislike of her scent. "Only when they lacked in talent. Don't you have a skill you'd like to show off for friends and family, Kate? Play a game where you identify the vampires in the audience to music?"

Re: Caroline!

"I'm sure that would go down a treat." Greg would kill her. Well, more likely he'd remind her of the potential for someone else to kill her, but the ending of both potential scenarios was the same.

"Not at all hazardous to my health."

"The vampires will only cone after you if you make it an insult," she pointed out. "So I'd recommend leaving out how you knew."

Re: Caroline!

[withasword.livejournal.com]

It wasn't the vampires she was worried about, in all honesty.

"Safer still, not to go there. You get closet vampires, right?" Or perhaps at least those who'd prefer it weren't broadcast to a room full of parents weekend guests.

Was it just Natalie, or did this dorm seem to always have someone posted behind a table in the lobby, promoting some school function or other? It was around second period that she returned from town with a takeaway cup from the Perk, and she almost walked straight past the table, but then couldn't help being a little curious.

Last time she'd stopped by a table like this, she'd gotten jam. Come on. So, she stopped to actually read the poster over.

"A recital? Seriously?"

Re: Caroline!

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

Bobby had warned her about this, but still Caroline couldn't help how she bristled at the sight of that girl's face.

"No, I just like sitting the lobby and messing with people by offering them cookies for listing their name on paper." Seriously? "Unless you wanted to sign up and then it's totally real."

Re: Caroline!

[whenshewasnice]

Natalie raised an eyebrow a bit at the attitude she was sensing here. She also already had a pretty good guess at what it might be about. Sigh.

"I don't know if I have anything I would wanna perform for other people's parents," she replied, mildly. "Not sure if that's really my thing."

Re: Caroline!

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"That sounds like you just need some convincing. How about a cookie?" Hey, it was way better than what she would have offered Kate.

Re: Caroline!

[whenshewasnice]

Natalie didn't look too impressed with the offer. To be fair, she didn't exactly look unimpressed, either. She didn't tend to have strong outward reactions to much of anything.

She reached out for a cookie. "Sure. Though I doubt that'll help."

Miley was on her way down for a run, but her face lit up upon seeing the sign, so she was effectively distracted.

"Ooh! The squirrels told me about this! I am definitely signing up."

...out of context, that was just weird, Miley.

Re: Caroline!

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

Miley was lucky Caroline knew all about the local gossip show. But please, there was a more pressing focus here. "Oh my God, you're totally signing up, right? Because I'm putting your name down for you if you say no. I will not embarrass myself alone."

Re: Caroline!

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

"Totally," Miley agreed, laughing. "My friend Lilly's coming, and she still does not get how to do the Hoedown Throwdown (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlnbmZK7GxU), and neither does, like, the rest of Fandom, for that matter. So I definitely have to show you guys how it's done."

"What are you going to do?"

Re: Caroline!

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"Ooh, hoe-throwing, I love it!" Caroline told her, shoving the clipboard Miley's way. "It has been strongly encouraged that I sing something," she replied. "So probably that. Too boring?"

Re: Caroline!

Jake was ready to be chat up, not that he was ready to sign up. He would accept cookie bribes, though, or other bribes. He was openminded.

"Hey there, pretty girl," he was so smooth.

Re: Caroline!

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

So long as he understood she was going to try to make the sign up thing happen, Jake was more than welcome to attempt his sad lines on her. "Hey, what do you think?" Caroline gestured to her lovely, glittery sign.

Re: Caroline!

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

What? No mocking his sad lines? That was kind of sad because now he had to give his opinion on a sign instead of getting greeted with love. So very sad.

"Nice. Very shiny," he said dutifully.

Re: Caroline!

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

It wasn't her fault his line was sad and that she was a pretty girl and therefore really couldn't argue it.

But now she got to look pleased and preen a bit that she'd done a good job. "Thank you. It makes you want to sign up to do something, doesn't it?"

Re: Caroline!

"A recital? Seriously?" Mercy's face was pretty dubious.

Re: Caroline!

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"Okay, you totally have to tell me why that is everyone's response," Caroline said, trusting Mercy to share with her. "And please, have a cookie."

Re: Caroline!

[walkswithcoyote]

"I don't know," Mercy said. "It just seems kind of junior high school, doing some thing for our parents?"

It was possible that she was a little bitter still about her mom.

She took a cookie. "Thanks."

Re: Caroline!

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"I think it's absolutely like school," Caroline responded. "You know, like a normal school. I'm kind of hoping to get someone to show off a special talent, but so far Kate refused to identify vampires and Jake refused to transform or howl no matter how awesome I said it would be." Total party poopers.

Sign Up!
