1st floor lobby- Thursday after classes

Anyone involved with Student Council might recognize the setup: Annie and Rilla, a lot of ~~moddable~~ supplies, and an event to work on.

"Hi, everyone!" Annie said, cheerful because she was ignoring her mailbox in case it brought any more crushing disappointments. "We have a crush party tomorrow. So we thought we could spend today working on it." Throwing glitter on decorations was totally the same thing as making something look sandy and beachy, right?

Well, with the amount of glitter flying around the island, it was really only a matter of time before the beaches used it instead of sand, really.

“We have decorations to finish up, of course, and this is also a good time for last minute invitations to anyone you might not have worked up the nerve to talk to yet,” Rilla added.

If Bruce showed up to the party in the corset he mentioned yesterday, Rilla was going to be Very Put Out.

"Also maybe you could coordinate, just to make sure not everyone invited the same five people, or you can ask someone you were thinking about but they were really your #6 and someone else asked them so now you have a slot," Annie said. Not that that had happened to her or anything, but maybe it had happened to others! She was being helpful!

“It would be terrible if we held a party and only invited five boys,” Rilla agreed, looking temporarily mortified. “There are so many cute ones!”

"So let's get on that. Maybe calls could even be made if you want some support," Annie suggested. "Come on, girls, we've got a party to plan!"

Annie was a dork.

As you do!

~~Throw glitter on~~ Make decorations, call boys, whatever you have to do.

Hanna hadn't really thought about who she might invite, mostly because she'd been seriously distracted lately. So, for now, she helped prepare decorations.

She'd gladly make some phone calls for other people if needed.

"Have you seen the silver glitter anywhere?" Annie asked, totally as a ploy to see what Hanna was working on.

"Yeah, I think there's some over there," Hanna replied, indicating a bottle of glitter on the table near the decorations. "I'm using gold right now."

Quinn was putting glitter on stuff to decorate. But it was gold glitter, so that was totally beachy.

... right?

"So have you asked anyone yet?" Annie asked curiously.

Quinn shook her head. "My brain's been on play rehearsal ~~and my mun has no brain at all~~," she explained. "Should probably get on that, huh?"

"Oh, I'm in the same boat," Annie told her. ~~Including the brain part.~~ "But I figure in this case more spontaneous invitations actually work."

That was how she rationalized it, anyway.

"We could just walk down the halls," Quinn mused. "Knock on doors, invite whoever answers if they're cute."

Annie paused, thinking about it. "That might not be a bad idea."

"I am kind of brilliant," Quinn allowed airily. "I'm in for it if you are."

"I'm for it. It'll be new and interesting." And hopefully she wouldn't get all shy.

"New and interesting," Quinn agreed. ",... so, speaking of new and interesting, are you ready for Petey Sci-Fi?"

Quinn kind of was. She thought. The accent still made her nervous.

"Mostly! But I haven't looked at the script in days, though, and I'm completely off book but I want to still be sure I'm off book, you know?" Yes, that was enough to make her feel only mostly ready.

Quinn looked a little dubious at that one, yeah.

"I'm not worried about forgetting my lines, but I always feel like Jono's laughing at Fuschia's accent," she complained. "It's not my fault I'm not all cool and European."

"Oh, no, you're fine," Annie assured her. "And at least you're taking a risk by trying."

"That's what I figure," Quinn said, pleased by the compliment. "Anyhow, the play's supposed to not be great. It's just fun."

There was a lot of glitter, which Stacey found she could get behind. But mainly she was still writing a list of guys she might want to invite. And whittling them down.

It's what this thread is for, that is true.

Rilla was there with glitter in her hair (that she didn't know about) and a worried look on her face. The 'phone messages she'd received had been too bizarre.

And Annie had her concerned, too.

"You have a little..." Annie pointed out, gesturing to her own hair. It was amazing that between this and StuCo, no one had glitter permanently affixed to them yet.

"Oh, goodness," Rilla flailed as she touched her hair and a small shower of glitter rained down. "This gets everywhere."

"Think of it this way. It's like taking a little bit of the party with you everywhere you go," she said. The optimism was strong with this one, since glitter sometimes didn't even come off in the shower ~~not that the player would know that or anything~~.

"I feel like some sort of lost fairy princess with it trailing after me," Rilla declared. She gave up on trying to get it all out of her hair and looked sympathetically at Annie instead. "The radio said you had some bad news?"

"Oh," she said, rolling her eyes like it was totally not a big deal when it was totally a huge deal. "I got turned down for a scholarship. ...A couple scholarships, actually. But it's okay! I'm sure one of the others I applied for will come through."

Rilla frowned. "To help pay for college? Could you take a few years off to teach first to help offset the expense?"

It's what all of her siblings did...

"Well, most places- I guess not here-" Or possibly Greendale, but give her a few months. "-you need a degree to start with to get the job. Plus the economy... I'd pretty much have to get a dead end job, probably in food service, to help pay for it while racking up so many student loans that I'll never get my head above water again."

And for a second, having experience in food service, she considered it.

Rilla looked sympathetic as she nodded along. "How much will it cost?" she asked fearfully.

Annie winced. "Well... I mostly applied to Ivy League schools, so... a lot. But! But I got into Colorado State so if I can just scale it down a little, it's not as bad."

Scale it down further, Annie.

"Getting into a college is nothing to sneeze at," Rilla agreed with a smile.

"Well, that is true," Annie said, happy to hop right on over to that bright side.

Hello!

I need to stop going to bed after midnight. It means I'm tired at 6 am.

Well, more tired than 6 am should normally make a person.
