[intothelens]

(SPOTIFY PLAYLIST)



 

 

I - SETUP (12:00pm-5:00pm)

For any and all who agreed to help with the decorations, this would be the time to gather at the Hotel. A large list of assignments will be posted on the wall near the entrance, with duties including but not limited to:

1. Setting Tables, including placement of centerpieces
2. Wall and ceiling decorations, involving a lot of gossamer drapery and lights
3. Preparing the buffet table, with a mixture of hot and cold foods, as well as a separate table at the end for delectable deserts
4. Getting all necessary equipment on stage for the Live Band to perform.  Sound Checks may occur throughout.
5. A side dressing room area set up exclusively for those who volunteered to take the time to get ready themselves, including special hair and makeup stations and a large rack to hang their dresses & shoes to change into later

II - HOTEL LOBBY (6:30pm onward)

Cozy and luxurious in its own right, those who arrive before Prom is scheduled to begin will be allowed to lounge in the Hotel Lobby for a spell. Meeting and greeting other early birds and partaking in a select few hors d'oeuvre made available while waiting for the doors to open

 

III. - PROM PHOTOS!

In the far corner of the lobby, a cute backdrop will be set up, ready for any and all couples/groups/brave souls going stag for the evening to take a memorable photograph! Selfies are welcome throughout, but for those desiring a more professional setup, Hikari Yagami will be on hand for the first and last hours of the night for "official" Prom Photos. 

Smile, everyone!

IV - EATING/DRINKING

  

With a "bar" consisting of 90% nonalcoholic beverages--the remaining ten percent reserved for of age chaperones--and a buffet table spanning the length of the side wall, there will be no shortage of food options that night!  Hot pasta dishes, cold sandwiches, fruits, vegetable platters, and a special end section devoted to some of the best sweets Genessia's bakeries have to offer!

Of course, what prom would be complete without the traditional Fruit Bowl Punch?  Better get a sip in early, though...because some traditions never die, and it's not like those in charge can keep an eye on that bowl the entire night, can they?

V. - DANCE FLOOR

With a live band (Thank you, Professor!) ready to rock, you'll soon be dancing the night away, under ethereal decorations that will really make you feel like you're dancing among the stars!

In between sets, there will be a DJ spinning a mixture of slow dances, crowd favorites, and songs that'll really get the party rockin' (LMFAO style).

 

VI. - CHAPERONES

 

Because somebody's got to make sure the kids behave.

Hopefully actual adults who can behave themselves.

 

VII. - MINGLING/MISC.
 

What other shenanigans could the teens and tweens of Genessia possible get up to?  The night is young, and so are they~

[II. Hotel Lobby]

[It was no issue for Sayori to attend something like this; after all, she'd always been the type to be there for social gatherings and especially dances. She still had low self-confidence that she'd make it through one of these, but for her friends and her 'date', she would absolutely do this to the best of her ability.

Making her way into the lobby, her flowing pink dress made it easy to spot her, but difficult for her to sit down anywhere. Still, she stays all smiles and tries her best to greet everyone she comes across. As usual, despite everything, she knows how to give a very convincing smile. Now she just needs to wait on Natsuki to appear so she can see how pretty her dress is. Her friends were a large part of what gave her any sort of motivation to come here, but Natsuki was the peak of that -- she honestly can't imagine herself having come here without the courage the pink-haired girl gave her.

She's easy to approach and will talk to anyone who comes up.]

[III. Prom Photos]

[Why not? Photos were a huge part of prom and she definitely wanted to be a part of it. She will gladly pose with anyone, but she's really attempting to get Natsuki to pose with her for a picture.]

[IV. Eating/Drinking]

[She never really ate or drank a lot, but she had decided early on that she would try to keep hydrated and full so she wouldn't get tired too early. She doesn't want to end up going home too early, and she always did want to try some of this food in the past... what better time to do so than now?]

[V. Dance Floor]

[Sayori wasn't much of a dancer. She... liked to watch other people. But she wouldn't be averse to dancing with anyone if asked, whether a fast or a slow dance. After all, she wants to be there for everyone else. Her friends were the most important thing to her.

Ask her for a dance?]

[X. A Total Mess (At the end of the night)]

[Prom seemed to have gone well for everyone, including Sayori, but throughout it she couldn't help some intrusive thoughts entering her mind. Everything she'd done before hadn't been a problem for her in the past, but it seemed like tonight she couldn't get over the fact that there had to be at least one person that knew her smiles were fake. Who knew she wasn't okay. Natsuki obviously knew, but she didn't want to let others know, and she fought until the bitter end to keep a smile on her face.

All the way up to excusing herself from whatever situation she was in to go sit outside of the hotel, against the wall, knees bent up against her chest and her arms around her knees, trying hard not to cry. But the smile was definitely gone, and she tried to hide her face against her legs as she felt the tears come down. The intrusive thoughts were back, and they weren't leaving, and she just needed to be alone for a while. She couldn't get the conversations she had during the anonymous post she made out of her mind. She couldn't get certain other thoughts out of her mind, either. She needed to recharge, and get away from the people, but she didn't want to go home and worry Natsuki, either.

On top of that, she had positive thoughts she tried to avoid, too -- thoughts she'd never had but once before. Now, they were for Natsuki. But Natsuki deserved so, so much better than her. She could never find herself confessing those feelings. She didn't want to ruin Natsuki's life, being attached to someone like Sayori.

It wouldn't be hard to spot her, nor to hear the muffled sniffles coming from her.]

[VII. Wildcard]

[Open to anything else!]

V.

[astralera]

[ Era is doing her best to enjoy her time at the party when not on stage with her violin, and that involves doing her best to make sure others are enjoying themselves. After all, there is no better way to distract oneself from one's thoughts than by focusing on others.

There are more people lingering on the edges of the prom than Era would have expected. She doubt she'll be able to dance with them all, but she'll do what she can. It's a good way to familiarize herself with the other kidnapped residents of Genessia, after all.

The only worry she holds in her mind as she offers her hand in dance to someone new is that her non-human features may make them uncomfortable. Era is proud of her Auri traits - her ivory horns, intricately patterned scales, and her tail - but in her self-imposed mission to make as many people comfortable as she can... Well, they may not be the most helpful to her efforts.

Still, Era is the Warrior of Light. Warrior of Warriors. Brave, courageous, and accustomed to steeling herself for the worst. If someone has a problem with who and what she is then that does not make it hers as well.

She spots a girl with hair the colour of Cirina's and wearing a dress to match. Deciding that the young woman shall be the next person she asks, Era makes her way over to her and offers her left hand with a small smile. It's adorned with both an engagement and a wedding ring, and in the heels she wears Era's small stature might remind the girl of a certain friend she planned to spend the evening with. ]

Would you like to dance?

[protectshope]

[Did someone say food?

Madoka is loading up her 3rd plate, oops. She promised herself that she wouldn't eat too much, but one more round can't hurt.

She spots Sayori, not Natsuki, definitely not Natsuki, also at the table and smiles. A fellow pink haired girl! And moreso, a potential friend... Who accidentally missed the best snack on the menu:]

Have you tried this cake here? It's sooo goood! It has a secret strawberry filling..!

[Ada felt like she had a decent time. It certainly wasn't like the balls and such she had gone to back at home. They were a lot fancier and the music was a lot more different. But this whole thing was like a new learning experience for her.

As her heels hit the ground, making a noise she couldn't help but pause for a moment. She wasn't sure if she was hearing someone close by or not, so as she starts to look around she was checking who it might be. When she finally came across a young figured she moved to pull up the skirt of her peach coloured dress before going to walk over.]

Are you okay? Oh, do you need water or something? [She starts to look around briefly, thinking where she could get that if it was needed.]

[redreigning]

( ren doesn't know if he can categorize his night as having gone well, though any interactions with akechi that they both come out of alive can probably be labeled at least...a success? his feelings on the matter are complicated, but at the very least, he's leaving feeling a little lighter than when he arrived. also, he apparently has a dress added to his wardrobe now, since the girl never came back for it. yay? ah, but what's not yay is the sound of crying. it's one he knows all too well, and wouldn't be the first time tonight he stumbles across a girl hiding in tears away from everything else. ren peeks around the corner of the wall and stares down at her, his expression pinching a little when he realizes he'd seen this girl earlier - but she was in a completely different mood. smiles, smiles, smiles - did something happen? or maybe they weren't real smiles to begin with. wouldn't be the first time he's dealt with that either. ) Um... ( delicately, he kneels down beside her, trying to offer a small, reassuring smile. ) Did the night not go so well? ( damn, he wishes he had...a tissue or something, to offer her. ren touches his chest, his knees, patting around as if he might find something, but what he ends up doing is tearing a portion of the dress from the bottom with his teeth. threads snap apart, glittery fabric torn clean off before he folds it into as neat a square as he can and hands it to her. if she gives him a weird look (she is probably definitely giving him a weird look), he laughs a bit sheepishly. ) Ah, this...I promise the explanation isn't as weird as it looks. ( pause. ) Maybe only half as weird as it looks. ( he knows he's weird, let's just move past it and get to the real issue here, which is what he can do to make her feel better. )
