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.)

Hey, I never asked: what do you specialize in?

[elementofloyalty]

Martial arts, but I knew that from before I came here, so it was easy. Piloting, and projectile weapons.

[fionna_time]

Nice! I'm learning hand to hand combat, and weapons!

[elementofloyalty]

Most of the weapons here really aren't suited for a pony. Guns, swords, nunchuks... there's this constant assumption of hands.

[fionna_time]

So how are you able to do martial arts without hands and feet?

[elementofloyalty]

[Rainbow had no idea how to answer this, mainly because the question made absolutely no sense to her.]

...how can you walk with only two legs?

[fionna_time]

I think our legs are made differently or something. If anything, my legs are pretty strong to begin with!

I thought with martial arts its sorta important to use fingers and feet for stuff.

[elementofloyalty]

Never saw the need, and I've studied karate for a long time now.

[This is so weird to even think about. NEEDING fingers for karate? How?]

[fionna_time]

Well, that's awesome anyway! Even I don't know that stuff!

[elementofloyalty]

Yeah, yeah, I am awesome. No need to belabor the point too badly.

[And so modest.]

[fionna_time]

Hehe, soun a lot like someone I know back home!

[Fionna is going to pretend she knows what "belabor" means, hoping it won't come up again.]
