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. )

[This girl is so tiny! Edea waits a moment before standing, brushing her skirts down. She notices the horn but doesn't question it; Cid's told her all about the off-worlders, how different they all are.]

Goodness-- are you alright? That certainly sounded like it had hurt.

[Pretty but old, well that's nothing really new. Such an attitude and those words, she's reminded of the children back at the Orphanage. Edea smiles unable to help herself.]

I fear I'm much too old for that.

[moogle-ribbon.livejournal.com]

Yup, I'm okay! [] You're not too old to dance, though, right? You're going to have fun too! Have you got a... ] special someone here with you?

[How adorable! Edea gives her a little smile and crouches back down so they're the same height. She then leans forward and lowers her voice to a stage whisper.]

Can you keep a secret, little one?

Yup! You can tell me anything!

[witchsuccession.livejournal.com]

Do you see that man over there? [Edea shifts around to point out Cid who's occupied with some of the staff and conversation.]

[moogle-ribbon.livejournal.com]

[] Headmaster Cid?

[witchsuccession.livejournal.com]

[She smiles and nods.] That's him, yes.

I didn't know headmasters could fall in love and get married or anything like that. Isn't he a big nerd?

[witchsuccession.livejournal.com]

[Oh the innocence in those big eyes...]

I wouldn't necessarily call him a 'big nerd', no. [Laughing softly under her breath.]

[moogle-ribbon.livejournal.com]

Well, I learned something new then! Thanks, lady! So are you married, or still courting?

[]

[witchsuccession.livejournal.com]

Oh, for years now we've been married. And please, call me Matron.

[moogle-ribbon.livejournal.com]

Wow. I didn't know!

But... what's a matron?
