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.

Whoa-ho! You came as a human, huh?

[There is no possible way in hell Jecht can avoid appreciating the look of that dress on the body. He doesn't even bother to try.]

[lunar_princess]

Mhmm! It is rather hard to find dresses for a good price as a pony, custom tailoring and all of that.

[Oh, oh pffft. It's so easy to get her blushing by this point in time at the appreciative look.]

This one is nowhere near as confining as the others We were looking at, which is a plus.

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Yeah, "confining" and that dress barely know each other! Good thing we don't have too many teenage guy cadets around here or we'd be trippin' over their tongues all night.

[lunar_princess]

[Tripping over their ton-... oh.]

Who says that just teenagers would be? [Small bit of a smirk, giving him a quick look at the rest of the dress in a little turn.] We think We spot at least one adult who is just barely avoiding doing so.

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

[Well hey, she's learning! He's glad to see that.]

So not that I'm any good at dancin' or anything, but you wanna anyway?

[lunar_princess]

[It was bound to happen sooner or later!]

We cannot say that We are, either, but that would be lovely.

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Gotta admit I kinda snoozed through the class on it. And I'm guessin' you learned with a couple more legs than at the moment, huh?

[Still, he offers her an arm. He's not much of a gentleman, but he can do that much!]

[lunar_princess]

A couple more and even then We are not the best at it.

[Don't remind her of how ridiculous her dancing was before. But she lets the subject die there for the time being, taking the arm with a tiny bit of a nervous smile.]

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Well, let's be clumsy together then. Least this way we'll only be laughin' at ourselves!
