homecoming dance!

[wrnpcs]

[Balamb Garden has taken off around the Balamb coastline! The seaside and clear night sky can be seen through the windows and from the balconies. The halls 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 happily decorated ballroom 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 Homecoming Dance is now beginning. Your attendance is requested at [2F] Ballroom.

I repeat, the Homecoming Dance is now beginning. Your attendance is requested at [2F] Ballroom. The ball will run until 2400. Students leaving the ball after curfew are to return to their dorms immediately.

The ball and its festivities tonight are being sponsored very generously by the Garden Festival Committee.

[After the announcement, the intercom falls silent. The faint sound of music can be heard from the second floor of the building.

[Within the ballroom, there is a stationary stand for punch and food, as well as roaming caterers offering drinks (grape juice) and canapes.]

Voting is now closed. There is a thread here for announcing and crowning the winners; on-lookers are free to react in the thread.

Attendance is entirely optional, so with most of the faculty at the dance, characters are free to roam the rest of the school! However, as Balamb Garden is flying around the Balamb coastline, they will not be able to leave (unless you can fly or really like heights and don't mind injuries...), and any characters left behind will be stranded for a few hours.

[Pinkie weaves and bobs through the crowd, ducking under arms and crawling in between legs before arriving to Rapunzel.]

Holy Moly! You look so great!

[seethelanterns]

Oh, thanks. I figured since everyone put a lot of work into this I should make something nice. [Though the concept of shoes is still. Well, elusive to her. All the same, she does seem pleased and it was fun for her to make a different dress than her usual pink and purple one. She just seems amused at Pinkie manouvering through the crowd and brings a hand to her lips a little as she gives a light laugh.]

[laughafterme]

You MADE that dress?! [Pinkie has to look it over again, from all angles.] WOWZERS! That's great! I bet Rarity would be impressed!

[seethelanterns]

Yes. Well, I kind of had a hobby of making dresses back home. My pink and purple one I usually wear is one I made. Who's Rarity, a friend of yours?

[Rapunzel is curious at the new name, unsure if she has met a Rarity yet.]

[laughafterme]

That's so AWESOME! Have you ever thought about making costumes for the theater department?! I bet Sharpie would LOVE the help!

Oh! Rarity is my BFF back home!

[seethelanterns]

You think so? I've never made anything besides dresses, so I can't be sure how well I'd do with other costumes, but I might think about it.

BFF? Oh, best friend. Like me and Pascal.

[laughafterme]

I'm SUPER sure that you'll be fine! You have the eye!

[Blinks] Who's Pascal?

[seethelanterns]

Of course I have eyes. Or do you mean with dresses? [Socializing. She is in some ways still adjusting, given her life spent in the tower with just Gothel.]

Pascal is my pet chameleon. He's not a frog, even if Eugene keeps calling him one.

[laughafterme]

Yeah! DRESSES! But it's always good to have eyes, too!

A pet chameleon! I have a baby alligator! Gummy really needs new friends, so maybe they can go on a play date one day!

[seethelanterns]

Oh. Right. Yes, I guess so.

Oh. Well, if they both seem up to it, I wouldn't mind?

[laughafterme]

ALRIGHT! [Fistpumps!!] I'm always traveling with Gummy, so I'm free whenever!
