But nobody's going home

What's so special about "homecoming?" I mean, I understand how someone coming home making people want to celebrate, but I don't get this.

Just think of it as an excuse for a party, and have fun? Or something.

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

I guess that makes sense, after all the studying.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

I don't really do dances, though.

[]

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

I can sort of do them.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, you already passed that class.

By the way, where are you?

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

I was going to the library. I've got homework.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

All right. Mind if I come meet you there?

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

Nope. Maybe you can help me with it.

[The package, of course, nails Tobias directly in the head, the boy not quite having been ready for it.]

What the...?

[ACTION]

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

You tell me.

[Have a completely confused look, Espio.]

[ACTION]

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

It's a present, you idiot! Pick it up!

[ACTION]

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

You threw it at my head, how was I supposed to know what it was?

[He fetches it regardless.]

What for?

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

I just told you to tell me what it was! That would mean, you know, looking at it!

And it's yours. Because I felt like it.

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

[You're lucky he knows you're not really this mean. He opens it, then blinks a bit, clearly confused.]

Oh. Thank you.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

So you don't have to use gauze all the time. Sorry they're not brilliant - never sewn anything before in my life.

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

[He tugs off the patch, putting it down on and pulling the headband on. It's... a very loose fit.]

It feels a little weird.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

Probably because you're not used to it... or maybe 'cause there's no elastic.

Might be able to put something on the back, I guess.

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

[He adjusts it a bit, and seems to get a decent fit without blinding himself.]

I think I got it.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

You sure? ...if it's not right, you don't have to wear it.

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

I'm sure. It's a little loose, but it's soft.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

All right.

[ACTION] because mom ALWAYS knows where you are~

This Homecoming must truly be a foreign concept to so many. [Approaches from behind Toby, smiling warmly.] It's more or less a popularity contest, where nominated people are crowned royalty of the school.

[Sets her own books down and wraps her arms around Toby from behind. Ah, it's been a while since she gave him a hug!] You'll support your mother, won't you~?

[totallynotaspaz.livejournal.com]

I think it's a high school thing.

[fierybluebird]

I assume it's a reference to soldiers coming home from the wars and the celebration thereof.

[And that is why he doesn't want to be the prince of it.]
