Sixth floor common room- Sunday evening

[lovethatjourney]

The way Alexis was thinking, they'd have a raging party tonight, wake up tomorrow with mild hangovers, and then spend the rest of the day at the beach, because wasn't that what Memorial Day was all about?

She did not know she was expected to be in class tomorrow.

The lights were lower, there was a dance floor, the music was actually probably a little loud, and there were tables set up with all sorts of beverages. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. She also was maybe iffy on exactly what Memorial Day was commemorating, because aside from the distinct red, white and blue theme, it was very much a celebration of something or other.


[Open party! Feel free to have gotten a mass text invite or having seen the flyers or heard radio.]

"We're having a happy Memorial Day!" Alexis said, because 'happy' and 'memorial' were words that went naturally together.

"I gathered that much," said Freya, "but what is it we're actually memorializing? Some fallen warrior? A battle? An act of liberation? As far as festivities go, the name is rather vague..."

"I think the seasons?" Alexis tried. "People barbecue and they have a lot of mattress sales."

Freya considered this.

"Are they memorializing their old matresses?" she asked.

This was a very strange world, Alexis.

Alexis paused.

"You know, I wouldn't be surprised?"

"This is a very strange world, Alexis," said Freya, because what else was there to be said?

"Oh, god, tell me about it. That's when the drinks come in handy," she said.
