Tony wasted no time ducking out of his Student Council duties to rush back to his dorm and open his doors to Peckenpaugh's resident party animals. High school dances take all types to function and what would a Homecoming dance be without a pregame? Holland and Mary Grace seemed to have worrying about google eyes on lock, anyhow.
In his slacks and dress shirt, Tony mans the door and welcomes anyone he knows to be trustworthy into the festivities. The music is kept low and drinks are being served in soda cans. While Tony has always suspected that Mr. B is on his team, he knows better than to press his luck. Still, a game of miniature quidpong does elicit waves of cheers and the whizzing, marble-sized golden snitch does cause a few shrieks as it speeds around the room. Come through if you're looking for a little liquid courage, a pre-dance pep talk, or potentially to have your eye taken out by a drinking game component.

Tony got his homecoming date, even if it was a harrowing event, so Armani assumes there's no bad blood between them for his metaphysical insight. He stands on his toes to give the giant doorman an affectionate pat on the cheek before slinking his way inside.
Armani's not here for a long time; just long enough to satisfy his FOMO but not so brief that it seems like he's bored. He thanks the host, grabs a drink-in-soda-can, and mingles for a bit but excuses himself after a particularly rambunctious roar of laughter triggers his sixth sense for knowing just when to ditch (also known as Anxiety). Mr. Berzelius is laid back, but Armani's not willing to risk getting in trouble and missing the dance after he's invested so much time preparing for it.
He vanishes into the night before Mr. B even starts his loud trek down the hallway. Maybe he'll be back.

HOCO Pregame: Scarlett wants to hang out with the big kids
If Rye was throwing this party, there'd be a sign on the door saying NO BABIES (THAT MEANS YOU, SCARY). Scarlett hopes that Tony is cooler than her brother and will let her in -- they're teammates, that's got to count for something, right? She's no snitch, but she's also only 15 and apparently some people reckon that's not old enough to even be around alcohol.
Already dressed in her costume, Scarlett hooks her thumbs into her belt as she saunters up to the door. "Hey," she says casually to Tony, drawing herself up to her full height (all 5'2" of it) to try and look more grown up, "I hear there's a mean game of quidpong going on in there."
