witchesreign | valentine's day dance!

[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. )

[He's so easy to read sometimes. It's almost endearing somehow; however at the same time...]

Seifer, are you okay? You seem a little stiff.

[Not that it affects their dancing, but she's used to paying attention to the little things.]

[You could say he's somewhat distracted. Dancing was never his thing really and he'd rather be off doing something else.]

Stiff? Hardly. You're asking me to dance.

Do you really not like dancing that much?

[Maybe she'd gotten the wrong idea? Oops.]

Since I doubt it's my company that's bothering you.

Since when would your company bother me? I told you, I don't like dancing.

Since when would my company bother anyone?

[She smiles.]

That's a pity though, you're actually a pretty good dancer.

I'm sure if you tried hard enough, you could bother someone here.

[Seifer takes that last comment in stride.] Isn't that a requisite anyway? Learning to dance as a SeeD? Stupid thing anyway.

I think there's a few people I don't even have to try to bother. [Her smile falters briefly before returning to it's full force.]

Of course it is, but not everyone who passes the class is a good dancer. You can move really well. I wonder if it's all that extra gunblade training. Fighting can be kind of like dancing you know.

So they've told me. Doesn't make it any more interesting than combat.

Who else have you been bothering besides me?

Does this mean I'm paying for this dance with a duel later? Because just in case it's not obvious I have no intention of fighting in this dress.

Hey! You probably bother me about as much as I bother you. Be fair!

[What? She's totally not avoiding the question.]

[He scoffs at that.] Paying for this with target practice? You'll be in the hospital ward faster than you can blink.

I wouldn't bother you if you weren't in my way all the time.

You haven't managed to put me into the infirmary yet. [A valid point considering they've done quite a bit of that so called "target practice" thanks to having the same weapons class. On the bright side, it's made a huge improvement on her gunblading skills.] Why would tonight be any different?

Well we do have the same classes, Seifer. So it's hard to avoid you. Not that I'd want to avoid you in the first place. I guess that means you'll just have to put up with me.

Maybe because I haven't tried just yet.

How about less talking, more dancing so we can get this over with?

Really? Here I thought it was because I was either getting better or you just didn't want to hurt me.

Maybe I'm trying to make the dance last longer. [She's back to teasing again.]

Try me. [For a moment he's back to his usual jerk off, but her teasing seems to prevent any confrontation.]

If you pushed hard enough, you'd get a rise out of me. And a much shorter dance than you're getting right now.

I think I'd rather keep thinking that, than I would finding out that I was wrong. [Rinoa's good at keeping things pretty non-confrontational between the two of them. Really it seems to be a talent.]

I wouldn't say no to more practice though. Did I tell you that I've thought about double specializing, with one of those being gunblades? [But it's talking that's relative to their interests! She's really trying here.] I don't want to get a rise out of you Seifer. I just wanted to enjoy this dance.

You mentioned the gunblades before. Although you won't get anywhere unless you can compete with myself or Squall.

Or is there reason why you'd rather not rely on your abilities? [And he keeps on dancing regardless. It's a nice distraction.]

That's why I practice with both of you, isn't it? At least that's what I thought it was for anyway.

What's wrong with my gunblade abilities? They're not that bad, are they? [She smiles.] Don't worry, I figure I'll also specialize in offensive magic too, that's what everyone expects me to do after all, isn't it?
