Graduation Ball

[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 Graduation Ball is now beginning. Your attendance is requested at [2F] Ballroom.

I repeat, the Graduation Ball 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.


[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.

Newly graduated SeeDs are required to wear their uniforms. Otherwise, the occasion is black tie. All inhabitants of Garden are welcome to the festivities.

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

[Ugh...these uniforms are ugly! But Grell goes with the flow. She wears her hair in a high ponytail with her newest SeeD uniform is a huge step up from the cadet one, though. She spruced it up with a pair of red pumps.

Finally becoming a SeeD, she looks at the doors to the ballroom, flattening invisible wrinkles. Yes, the Grell Sutcliff is a bit nervous, but she's not surprised she passed!

The doors are pushed open by slender hands with red painted nails as she makes her grand entrance.]

Grell!

[Rikku herself is wearing a pretty green dress and she practically flies over when Grell walks in]

Congratulations!

[redcinemareel]

[Blinks and waves to her.]

Hi~! [GRINS] Thanks, sweetie! [She stretches in place, looking so smug.] No more awful classes to take!

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

Lucky! Are you going to teach now, or just hang around and be lazy with the fiancé?

[redcinemareel]

...did you really have to give me such options? [SIGHS] There is a wedding to plan.

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

How big a wedding are you guys thinking of?

[Rikku bounces a little, happy]

[redcinemareel]

[Who gave her sugar?]

Knowing Marco, he'll want a small one. [She totally scoffs at that.] I'd settle for simply a medium sized one. Neither of us have family here, and quite frankly, his wouldn't even fit through the doorway! Giants, the lot of them!

Hey, Juliet!

[ Coming up to catch Grell in her SeeD uniform. ] Lookin' snappy.

[redcinemareel]

Darling, I do hope you're not serious. [Smirks softly, pushing backa lock of hair.] These are a step up, hmm~?

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

C'mon, you know I hate the uniform. [ Tiny little elbow nudge. ] You make it look good, though.

[ Translation: congrats! ]

[redcinemareel]

[Grins brightly.] One day you'll be in this very uniform~. [ie YOU'RE LOOKING AT YOUR FUTURE. It looks pretty fab, doesn't it?]

Someone has to. Aren't you going to celebrate with me?

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

Another goddamn dance? I'll pass.

[ No comment on her wearing it. We'll see, we'll see. ]

[redcinemareel]

Then how would you celebrate?

[Bulla arrives a couple of minutes after Grell. She strolls over to greet her friend, sporting her SeeD uniform. The uniform itself is all standard regulation but she's accessorized with some jewelry and a matching clutch purse.]

We did it!

[redcinemareel]

[Well, well! Bulla looks simply fantastic!]

We sure did~! [GRINS] Oh, that's a nice purse!

[shops-a-lot.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Great shoes, by the way!

[Pumps aren't the best thing for battle, but for ceremony, they certainly add something to the uniform.]

I wonder how long it's going to take before we get a mission assignment.

[redcinemareel]

[Pumps aren't the best, of course. They are the greatest!]

Thank you for your keen eye!

I certainly hope I can schedule around a wedding.

[shops-a-lot.livejournal.com]

Oh, you and Marco set a date? When? If I'm invited, I want to make sure to schedule the time off to go.

[Not to mention save up for something nice to wear to the wedding]

[redcinemareel]

We haven't, but I wish to do so soon. Popular spots get snatched up so quickly!

[rebellingheart]

[Don't worry Grell, Rinoa took a few liberties with the uniform too. She's wearing a cute pair of black boots that look both pretty but they're practical too. Practical footwear just seems sensible with a uniform in her mind. That and boots are like her signature look.]

Well, we made it. Feels kind of weird doesn't it?

[redcinemareel]

Those boots are to DIE for! I'm so green~! [DRAMATIC SIGH] If only I had the legs for boots like that!

Weird? No, no, no~! It feels liberating! No more classes! No more exams!

[rebellingheart]

[Awe, they're only ankle length so it's not like they're anything overly dramatic.]

I think you'd look good in a pair of boots. The high flashy ones even and I could never pull those off.

[Rinoa has to make a face at that.]

I'm thinking of trying to get my teacher stuff in order so that means more exams and stuff for me.

[redcinemareel]

[Honey, EVERYTHING is dramatic for Grell.]

Now those type of boots I can relate to more.

...you want to teach?

[rebellingheart]

[Very valid point that.]

They suit you. I don't think I could ever pull boots like that off. Can you just imagine?

[Rinoa nods a little at her question, tilting her head slightly.]

Really is the idea that weird?

[The look on her face says she knows the idea is ridiculous, really even she finds it hard to imagine herself as an Instructor of all things.]

[redcinemareel]

Well, not everyone has the legs for it~! [Teasing grin.]

Rinoa, honey, don't you know how we were? Just IMAGINE teaching ourselves!
