SeeD graduation ball - second floor ballroom - 2100-2400

[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 upbeat orchestrations can be heard from the second floor of the building. In the second floor ballroom, the Headmaster, Garden faculty, and even some of the instructors are present, so troublemakers are free to roam until 2400. Caterers roam, offering drinks and refreshments to the party goers; a stationary stand for punch and food is also offered.]

(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.

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 via PM.)

Just saying that's what everyone thinks.

[He unconsciously runs his right hand over his left forearm.]

We gotta prove 'em wrong, right? Even if it's just one SeeD graduation ball a quarter at a time.

The occasional graduation ball isn't going to change what they think. That's what we have missions for.

Every little bit counts. Every time we have a ball, that's at least one more off-worlder who managed to make it through here, and pass. And it's proof Garden hasn't gone up in flames for letting them stay here.

I guess. But nobody said I really had to be present...

[HE LOOKS RIDICULOUS IN THIS UNIFORM, for a start! And he's definitely not dancing.]

What can I say? You're a show pony tonight. [No offense, Rarity!] Your job is to look g -- uh, professional and presentable.
