Homecoming? What's that? I don't think I've ever experienced something like that before. [Ven at least sounds interested in what it's about.]

[windfallstodark]

Sounds like fun! I don't...really know my way around the school, though.

I need a rundown on what's going on here. All these other assholes keep giving me vague responses and stupid questions.
