Re: IC/OOC Interactions
Lizzie, Peter, and Nico all showed.
Lizzie looked amazing, as always, but I'm being a bit lazy in looking things up right now in terms of clothes. It was definitely most likely a nice dress that fit the atmosphere. Hope, your present is her presence. Enjoy it. ;) But she would have given Hope a hug (with a whispered "Don't get used to this" said in a faux annoyed way) and probably spent a good portion of the evening around people she knew (Hope, Josie, etc). But she would have been open to talking to new people, too. And was polite to Hope's family.
Peter was probably unknowingly under dressed but not sloven. He thinks this is one of those tux places upon seeing it. But he'd have been friendly and cheerful to everyone, though a bit subdued in that "friends' family" way. Said hi to Hope's family and congratulated her on graduating (which I assume he did already post ceremony or at the brunch that morning if she showed for it). He low key had sticker shock and probably ordered whatever he could find that wasn't overly expensive. Unless there's already a pre-determined menu or they're doing some Prix Fixe thing. He'd have gotten her something simple but probably gave it to her separately/before the party just cause.
Nico gave zero fucks about wearing all black, but hey, he's always clean. He wore his best skull t-shirt for this, okay? And his black bomber jacket. He even left his sword at home. He did not hug Hope (sorry, Hope. He's not there with you, yet), but he said hi and congratulated her on graduating. For anyone who died at some point (I feel this is a long list so we'll go with this lol), if they're cool with it, he might have given them curious looks, though, unless you want him to have said anything, he didn't say anything. Just gave some curious looks. He'd have talked to just about anyone and been kind of dry and sarcastic but not unfriendly. Just a bit of a smartass if the moment presented itself. He may or may not have gotten her something. If he did, he'd give it to her away from the party setting because sentimentality is awkward.
