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. )

Even worse. I like your head best on your shoulders.

I know that. [She smiles.] I just want to spend as much time as I can with you now to get forever off to a good start. That's all.

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

Forever was off to a good start the moment I met you and it started. [He touches her necklace, the symbol of that promise.] Class or crystal stasis, we're a pair till past the end.

[ex_strongerthanshelo_266]

[Reaching up, she tugs him down so that she can plant a soft, mostly chaste kiss on his mouth. Why is he so perfect?]

Forever started at first sight? [She asks, looking up at him with a look that's part surprise and part wonder.]

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not like I knew it had, then. But with you being you and me being me, how could everything have gone any other way?

[ex_strongerthanshelo_266]

Serendipity? I guess it's possible. It's certainly a nice idea to think about anyway.

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

There's no way I couldn't have noticed a girl as cute as you, and no way I couldn't have fallen for a girl just like you.

[ex_strongerthanshelo_266]

So any really cute orphan girl would have fit the bill? [She's teasing of course and they both know this.] It's no wonder you didn't fall in love with Lebreau.

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

You're cuter. [Obvious to anyone! Even a meathead like Snow!]

[ex_strongerthanshelo_266]

I don't know about that, she's pretty cute. [She tilts her head, considering something for a moment.] How much of a fit do you think my sister would throw if I tried out an outfit like hers?

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

She's too much of a 'one of the guys' girl.

[Snow looks at Serah for a long moment. Possibly picturing Light's reactions. Possibly picturing Serah in that outfit.]

I can't imagine her reaction, but I can imagine what it wouldn't be, which is, good.

[ex_strongerthanshelo_266]

Maybe you're just too close to her to appreciate how cute she is. [She smiles] And too biased about me to realize that other girls can be just as cute if not cuter. [Serah giggles.] But I like that though, so there's no reason to change or anything.

[As far as she's concerned he can do both. Why not?]

She's always been pretty strict about not following the super flashy trends. Nothing too short or low cut, not that I mind really. I like my clothes.

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

I've always been pretty fond of your clothes, too. They look cute on the girl I like to see wearing them.

[ex_strongerthanshelo_266]

You know what? I'm not really thirsty anymore so how about another dance? [The first one had been an awful lot of fun after all.

Hopefully a slow song, because when he got all sweet like this she wanted nothing more than to hug him and snuggle close pretty much.]

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

Yes. Absolutely yes.

[No time lost at all in leading her back to the dance floor. If there was ever a time he wanted nothing more than to hug her close, he couldn't foresee it coming.]

[ex_strongerthanshelo_266]

I didn't think you'd mind somehow.

[Luckily for Snow, close and in his arms is just where she wants to be now and...pretty much all the time.]
