SeeD Graduation Ball; 2100-2400 SATURDAY (forward dated); [2F] Ballroom

[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 music 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. Unfamiliar people can be seen speaking with staff and amongst themselves - potential clients, perhaps?]

(Mod note: You may participate in the dance in comments to this post, or opt to make your own new post or log.

The dance is not mandatory (though it is strongly recommended that newly graduated SeeDs attend), 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.)

[At least he likes when Sigyn takes charge of things. Usually.

Once they're properly situated and start to dance, Gakupo smiles to her as well, squeezing her hand gently.]

I'm sure you'll make a find SeeD, My Maiden. Trust me, they'll be stories to tell while as a SeeD. Probably even better ones than when you were a cadet!

[fotlenke]

And we shall experience the stories together, will we not?

[ She looks into Gakupo's eyes with shining hope and how can you deny this young lady anything? ]

[eggplantallergy]

If we wish it so, yes. [He smiles to her. This man is simply wrapped around her finger.] I do wonder what will happen from here on out.

[fotlenke]

That is in our hands, My Samurai. [ Surely they'll go on missions together and experience great battles and trials. By the Fates, it must be so! ] I only ask that I be at your side throughout any storm.

Then we shall weather it together. [He leans down and kisses her cheek. Fighting along side someone he cared about on this level would be a new experience for him. He simply did not want to be too overprotective, even though Sigyn can handle herself better than he could to his own person.]

[ Sigyn chuckles. ]

Is there not a song to that tune?

[eggplantallergy]

Ah, if there is one, then you'd need to be a little more specific...

[ Sigyn laughs. When her laughter subsides, she places her head against Gakupo's chest and lets herself be rocked to the soft tunes of the playing music. ]
