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. )

[No one! She's excited!]

Have you seen his family or something?

[redcinemareel]

[Uh huh.]

I have. It was such an interesting trip down memory lane! His father is quite the specimen, though! Tall as a house! Very built~. [So what if Grell was eyeing his father...]

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

...were you checking out his dad, Grell, or was he just so pretty you had to ogle?

[That makes Rikku laugh a little.]

[redcinemareel]

A lot of his family do not wear shirts. Or they were something that could pass as one. You're aware of Marco's allergy to buttons?

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

Nuh-uh. I didn't even realize his shirt was open until the third time I ran into him. Spira's pretty tropical, so shirtless guys are kinda the norm.

[redcinemareel]

...that surely beats DREARY London, now doesn't it?

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

I dunno, what's a London?

[redcinemareel]

A place where men always wear shirts. Trust me, you don't want to go there. It's all rather boring.

misread ><

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

Blech. Is it cold there or something?

It's okay!

[redcinemareel]

And blustery.

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

Ick. I don't think Bevelle's "blustery", and it's pretty chilly there. [A face] Why do people live somewhere where it's so icky?

[redcinemareel]

A lot of people are afraid of change. Also, transportation is not the easiest to do, nor affordable.

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

They can't just...get a boat and get goin'?

[redcinemareel]

Do you know just how much a boat trip costs?

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

Ten gil? Maybe?

1/2

[redcinemareel]

[Grell leans in close to Rikku. Really close.]

[redcinemareel]

Your LIFE.

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

[That makes Rikku scream a little and fall to the ground. Thank god her hair wasn't up]

Grell!

[redcinemareel]

What? It's true! [Offers her a hand to help her up. Poor Rikku.]

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

Y'didn't have to scare me like that!

[Up she comes!]

Is it really that expensive?

[redcinemareel]

But then you wouldn't really understand without a bit of a fright~.

Very. It was the only means of transportation.

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

Well, boats are still pretty much the only way to get around to the islands on Spira and it's really cheap.

[redcinemareel]

Good luck getting a boat for cheap when you're not exactly on an island.

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

....Oh, yeah, that makes sense. Still, how else are you supposed to travel?

[redcinemareel]

Frankly, I did not care. I have my own means of transportation.
