Homecoming dance! (backdated to Week 6 Saturday)

[wrnpcs]

[Night has fallen on Balamb Garden; the halls of Garden are mostly deserted besides the stray student walking about, and even the usual faculty members are missing from their posts around the school. There's a certain festive energy through the air coming from the happily decorated ballroom located on the second floor.

[At exactly 2100, as soon as the dinner rush ends, the Garden chime sounds and the intercom clicks on. The Headmaster speaks to the Garden.]

The Homecoming Dance is now beginning. Your attendance is requested at [2F] Ballroom.

I repeat, the Homecoming Dance is now beginning. Your attendance is requested at [2F] Ballroom. The ball will run until 2400. Students leaving the ball after curfew are to return to their dorms immediately.

The ball and its festivities tonight are being sponsored very generously by the Garden Festival Committee.

[After the announcement, the intercom falls silent. The faint sound of music can be heard from the second floor of the building.

[Within the ballroom, there is a stationary stand for punch and food, as well as roaming caterers offering drinks (grape juice) and canapes.]

There is a comment thread for voting here. Votes will close on Monday night OOC-ly (or later if we don't get many votes over the weekend) and there will another thread for announcing and crowning the winners.

Attendance is entirely optional, so with most of the faculty at the dance, characters are free to roam the rest of the school!

QUEEN: SUDDEN DEATH VOTING

[wrnpcs]

For the position of Homecoming Queen, we had a tie, which was not broken by extending the voting. This is therefore a purely out-of-character sudden death vote in the interests of finding a winner; while votes should still be in-character, the characters are not actually voting twice. Each character gets one vote (regardless of whether they even attended the dance), and voting will close 0500 EST. In the event of another tie, we reserve the right to flip a coin.

Please vote for either Maria Cyphert or Grell Sutcliff by commenting under one of the following threads.

MARIA CYPHERT

Re: MARIA CYPHERT

[bunnypassingby]

If all three of mine voted, Maria would come out one ahead, so I'm being lazy and just plugging in that one vote.

oh no someone break this tie

GRELL SUTCLIFF

GRELL SUTCLIFF

[fionna_time]

GRELL SUTCLIFF

[mera_mera_ace]

Grells gotta win, for sure! [Or else we're all gonna die...]

[thatched]

have to go with my lady.

[redcinemareel]

Of course she'll vote for herself.

[fierybluebird]

Grell if only because Marco is whipped and would rather not be whipped so literally.
