valentine's day dance!

[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, the source coming from the Ballroom cheerily decorated 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 Valentine's Day dance is now beginning. Your attendance is requested at [2F] Ballroom.

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

The dance 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.]


( Mod note: You may participate in the dance in comments to this post, or opt to make your own new post/log.

The dance isn't mandatory, so students that choose not to attend won't be punished. The Headmaster, Garden faculty and even some of the instructors are all present at the dance, so troublemakers are free to roam until 2400. The dance itself will last from 2100-2400 in the second floor ballroom and the music will be the same kind of upbeat peppy orchestrated pieces that the game used. Caterers will roam offering drinks and refreshments to attendants, as well a stationary stand for punch and food is offered.

Should players have any questions left unanswered feel free to ping the mods on AIM or via PM. )

[Matron is standing off to the side with the Headmaster. There's a content little smile on his face as he watches everyone enjoy themselves.

The pair are holding a quiet conversation by the looks of things as they let their eyes wander the ballroom, and Edea then smiles and nods to something he says, thanking a passing caterer for the offered drink.]

[Luki's sporting a black and pink dress (http://ak2.ostkcdn.com/images/products/P12280743.jpg), and covered her neck with afancy black choker. (http://nocturnalnostalgia.com/cart/images/products/emperialvelvetchoker.jpg) She's always glad to get candy, so she stops by to say hello, beaming up at the couple.]

Hello! Thank you very much for the candy.

[Patting her stomach contendly, she adds]

I ate it all right after dinner.

[Cid gives a pleasant chuckle and Edea smiles down at Luki.] You're most welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed your gift.

How are you enjoying the evening and dance?

[dangerousthings.livejournal.com]

It seems like a pretty nice party.

[She presses her pointer fingers together and scuffs the toe of her dress shoe into the floor.]

I'm kind of looking for someone, though. I hoped that person was going to show up...

[Yes, Cid and Edea. It's a kid-crush. She's disappointed she hasn't run into Damian yet.]

[witchsuccession.livejournal.com]

[Just as adorable as Eiko. Matron takes a peek around the room, and offers Luki a reassuring smile.]

Perhaps they're running a little late? Don't give up hope so soon, the night is still young.

[dangerousthings.livejournal.com]

I guess so. I don't know if he likes to dance or not. But I hope he'll show up.

[witchsuccession.livejournal.com]

[Oh! It's a 'him' then? Edea shares a little knowing glance with her husband, smiling still.]

Don't worry, he will.

[dangerousthings.livejournal.com]

I hope so. He's one of the only boys I wouldn't look really silly dancing with and he's my friend.

[witchsuccession.livejournal.com]

What makes you think you would look silly dancing with any other boy? Each cadet goes through the dancing classes.

[dangerousthings.livejournal.com]

[Luki looks up and offers a giggle.]

Because a lot of the boys here are waaaaaay taller than I am and Damian's only a little bit taller.


[Oops. She realizes a second too late that she hadn't meant to let his name slip, but she seems as nice as the Headmster.]

[witchsuccession.livejournal.com]

[So the boy's name was 'Damian'... Edea shares another little look with Cid.]

Well as you can see-- [She gestures to Cid and straightens her posture. Cid follows. It's to show the young cadet that the Headmaster is only a little taller than her as well.]

See? Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

[dangerousthings.livejournal.com]

I never said there was. Most of the other boys are too tall instead of being just the right size for me to dance with.
