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.

It would be my pleasure~ [Ahri mused as she placed her hand on his and smiled warmly.]

[Gakupo smiles back and leads her to the dance floor. The music is upbeat this time around, which suits Gakupo just fine. He'll dance to anything.]

Is this your first Homecoming Dance?

[9tailedtemptress]

[Ahri follows, her tails playfully swaying behind her as she walks with him, a smile never leaving her face.]

Mhm~ I love dancing, but I usually did it alone and int he forests. This will be a first for me!

[eggplantallergy]

Why would you dance alone? [He leads them to an empty space before dancing.]

[9tailedtemptress]

Why not? One should always enjoy the sounds and music of the forests don't you think? Although, I have begun to become fond of the sounds and music where people delve. The cities, the villages, this Garden~

[She flowed into his arms as she moved to begin dancing with him, her tails following her movements.]

[eggplantallergy]

Ah, I meant why isn't anyone else dancing with you? I find dancing to be more enjoyable with company.

[9tailedtemptress]

Oh, [Ahri giggled.] This is true, but alas~ No one really ventured into the forests I used to dwell in unless they were lost, or hunting me.

In either case, they didn't seem all to willing to dance I'm afraid.

[eggplantallergy]

That's a shame, really. You'll just have to make up for lost time here~! [Gakupo smiles to her.]

[9tailedtemptress]

Oh I hope so. Maybe you'll be helping me do as such~? [She mused with a wink.]

[eggplantallergy]

I'd be delighted! Dancing is one of my favorite things to do! [And he'll show off a short dance routine, consisting of a twirl and something a boy band would do.]

[9tailedtemptress]

[Ahri giggled and clapped in amusement, even her tails seemed to join in as they swayed excitedly behind her.]

You enjoy it and are skilled~ That's a good thing to have.

[eggplantallergy]

It also comes in handy for Ballroom Dancing! Although not many are happy that class is mandatory. [He'll return to dancing normally now.]

[9tailedtemptress]

[And she'll follow suit, practically flowing into his arms and looking at him through narrowed, interested eyes.]

I don't mind if it's all like this~

[eggplantallergy]

[Gakupo gives a light smirk as they continue on with their dance.]

A shame I don't take classes anymore. [He hums in thought.] I should try my hand at teaching...

[9tailedtemptress]

I believe you'd be rather good if this is any indication~ [She smiled as she turned around him, her tails caressing him as they went on dancing.]

[eggplantallergy]

Perhaps, but I think we both have a biased opinion. [He chuckles, not at all minding the caresses from the tails.]

[9tailedtemptress]

Ah, quite possibly~ But usually if people see others have this much fun they either join, or become jealous. [Ahri mused with a giggle.]

Can't say I mind either~
