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. )

It's very nice.

[A small laugh.] All right, I'll try not to disappoint you, eh. [Offers up hand placements.]

[rebellingheart]

Thanks.

I don't think that's an issue somehow. [She smiles, placing her hands in his.] And it's not driving so I know it's safe.

[fierybluebird]

Hah... I would say pirates are better at dancing, but it's really just in my instance.

[rebellingheart]

Really? So should I expect this dance to be amazing then?

[fierybluebird]

[Spins her around in a fancy twirl and leans forward, tipping her back but perfectly supporting her spine in his own hands.]

You tell me.

[rebellingheart]

[She laughs, following the spin well enough he certainly wasn't joking about his dancing being much better than his driving. As she's leaning back, she can't help but feel grateful that her dress isn't any shorter or lower than it is considering the position.]

Amazing it is then.

[fierybluebird]

[Grins and twirls her back up, leaning in a little closer.]

Just don't tell my girlfriend.

[rebellingheart]

[She smiles at that, clearly teasing. At the same time, it's really nice to dance with someone who seems to actually enjoy dancing for once.]

Don't tell her that you're a good dancer?

[fierybluebird]

No, that she knows I hope. I take her dancing when we can. One of the advantages to flying, eh.

[Twirls around with her, leading of course.]

[rebellingheart]

That's really sweet. She's very lucky.

[Rinoa's always been a good dancer, and having a good partner just makes it that much better. It's clear she's enjoying herself.]

I'm sure she won't mind, since she knows there's nothing to worry about.

[Marco is way too old for her, not her type, and practically like a big brother. Ewww much?]

[fierybluebird]

Thank you very much.

And while I'm sure I've mentioned you as a little sister, I won't pretend to know what things make her jealous. [As it was Grell, and there were many.]

[rebellingheart]

[She'd love for a guy to do that sort of thing for her, but it looks like that's not anywhere near close to being in her future just yet.]

Not a problem.

I guess you've got a point, you never know with these things.

[fierybluebird]

Exactly, eh. Problems with liking wildfires.

[rebellingheart]

[She smiles, shooting him a teasing look.]

Is it? Here I thought you couldn't get burned by fire.

[fierybluebird]

Why do you think I like them so much?

[rebellingheart]

I wasn't sure.

[fierybluebird]

Mm-hm. You just never know what will set them off though, eh.
