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. )

[If there's one thing obvious about Ardos, it's that crowds attract him. So, of course, he's here. However, he's also hiding in a corner--because he doesn't know how to dance. He's altered his form--easy enough--so he at least appears well-dressed, but other than that, he sits there, observing and hoping no one bothers him while he enjoys the emotions in the air.]

[ Kairi at first...isn't sure if she should approach or not. Ardos has been good, though, from what she's noticed (or hasn't noticed), so she decides to take a chance. ]

Um...hi?

[feedmyglitch]

Hello.

[He looks... Highly uncomfortable now. She's not going to ask him to dance, is she? Because he can't. He really, really can't. Dancing isn't exactly logical, or pure logic at the least, and he hasn't yet taken his dancing classes. So he's very much in a world of pain if someone asks him.]

Do you require something?

[lighthoused.livejournal.com]

Not really... [ A teeny, tiny smile. ] I'm not gonna ask you to dance, if you're worried about having two left feet.

[feedmyglitch]

Good. I would be a dissatisfying dance partner.

[Blunt and to the point, but now he's relaxing just a bit.]

...Why do you humans enjoy such frivolous activities? What point does it serve?

[lighthoused.livejournal.com]

[ Is that a laugh? ] I thought as much.

Humans are social creatures, Ardos. We like getting together and celebrating good things. It keeps us happy.
