Oh my, it seems as though we have another surge of new arrivals. It seems as though they always arrive in batches. I wonder why that is

A 'Homecoming dance'? What is that exactly?

[eminent_lady]

'Homecoming' aside, it's just what it sounds: it's a party. People can come, with or without dates, mingle with others, enjoy food and drink, and, of course, dance.

[someday_a_queen]

I see.

[Yeah, was confused by the homecoming part.]

Where is this dance being held?

[eminent_lady]

It will be at the school on October 1st. Anyone and everyone are free to attend.

[tsuntiger]

A dance? Seriously?

[Yeah, she's not liking the sound of that. Dressing up and getting a d-d... guy to go with? No doubt she'll be dragged along by Misaka. But all those inner feelings are covered up by pure tsun.]

[eminent_lady]

Of course. If the drones controlling the school want a homecoming party like any school would have, we may as well make the best of it.

[tsuntiger]

Tch. You must really be starved of attention if you're looking forward to this.

Fuck yes I am, you little tramp.

[knowthestakes]

[Exciiiiiiiiiiiiited.]

A dance? Really? Awesome! Just what this stuffy town needs....

[eminent_lady]

I hope so.

[knowthestakes]

Can I help out in any way, or have you already got it handled?

[bornwithskison]

Home...coming dance?

[eminent_lady]

Yes! Anyone and everyone will be there, so I suggest you attend!

[bornwithskison]

I've never heard of such a thing.

[eminent_lady]

It is a dance. A party. That's all.

[a_gentle_boy]

. . . Who's coming home?

[eminent_lady]

The tradition comes from simply 'welcoming students and alumni back to school'. So, the answer would be 'the students'.

[a_gentle_boy]

. . . Oh. But I think we ought to call it something else since, um. None of us can really get home.

[eminent_lady]

...

Well, the situational irony aside, the name isn't really in our control to change. We can just call it 'the dance', though, and even the drones will understand.
