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. )

[Bulla may be a freshly graduated SeeD, but that doesn't mean she's going to let herself become so professional that she forgets to have fun. Although she's not as fond of her new uniform as Rinoa is, she does like it much better than the cadet uniform. It's more elegant, at least. As long as she doesn't have to take on missions while wearing it. A skirt like this one is less than ideal for a martial arts specialist.

She sneaks up behind Rinoa and puts her hands over her friend's eyes. At first she doesn't speak, to see if Rinoa will guess who it is. Not that the height won't be a very strong hint. There aren't many people who are noticably shorter than Rinoa who would also be wearing the SeeD uniform.]

[Rinoa without fun in her life? It's a scary thought and something that's never ever going to happen. Though just think about it! For now they have all this free time! They can go shopping during the weekdays sometimes! All the endless possibilities just stretching out for them! Well when she's not working on getting her teaching stuff done anyway. If it's not one thing it's another.]

[The height is a good guess and the hands themselves are a nice hint too. It's not like Bulla not to take good care of her hands after all. The uniform helps too. Which is why she smiles and laughs a little bit.]

Are you going to let go now so I can see how you look in you new uniform Bulla?

[Bulla uses hand lotion and files down her nails, but there are a certain amount of bruises and calluses that have built up on them, particularly in the last year and few months. She pulls her hands away and steps in front of Rinoa.]

I didn't think you'd guess that quickly. The uniform looks good on you.

[rebellingheart]

I couldn't think of anyone else who'd do that except maybe Selphie and the hands were all wrong for her.

[She smiles at Bulla cheerfully though there's a teasing glint in her eyes.]

Next time I can pretend not to know it's you for a while if it'd make you feel better?

[Teasing aside she looks over Bulla's uniform clad figure and then nods.]

It looks really good on you too. I guess we're both really lucky that way.
