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.

Really? Huh, I thought those were always popular. I just got back so I haven't really been paying all that much attention.

Trust me, I'm all for the day I don't have to ask, but I also know today is not that day.

I'm Chase, by the way. Chase Kelly, SeeD ID#73197 Para-Magic Weapon Specialist Operative, Firearms Platoon and Magic Operative, Attack Platoon, Level 3. Could those titles get any longer? I mean jeez...

Pretty sure you don't need to introduce yourself with the whole thing every time you meet someone.

Instructor Espio.

[Just docking off the "the chameleon" part, seeing as he's not much of a chameleon at this point.]

[hispeedchase]

Hey, if I have to memorize all that for paperwork you bet your ass I'm using the whole thing. [What can he say, he's practical.]

No offense, but isn't Espio um... more purple?

[espio]

Even if we ignore the fact the point of this potion is to blend in... I am a chameleon.

[hispeedchase]

Let's pretend I have no idea what you're talking about. What's this about a potion?

[espio]

The polymorphus potion? That one that lets non-humans like me look human for a while? I... sort of thought it was common knowledge at this point.

I've been out of town. [With that he'll eat a cracker.] Still catching up.
