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/Entrance

[It's a surprise, unexpected but not unwanted, as Enis walks through the main entrance of the hall. There is an excited buzz of voices humming through the air as people slowly filter towards the main ballroom. Enis takes some time to look around, her vibrant blue eyes scanning the walls, ceilings and exits as if she's casing the place.

It's beautiful and not just because of the way it's been decorated. There is something more to it, something that Enis doesn't completely understand.

She's wearing a beautiful dark violet dress as well as a pair of black heels that add another three inches to her usually short height. Her features were tastefully accented with makeup while her short black hair has been pinned behind one ear, a small crystal barrette holding it in place. Enis doesn't dress up often but she appears to be at ease as she takes a look around and looks for the few people she might knows who are in attendance.]

IV. Concessions

[The food is the reason to go to any party. It's free and available through the duration of the event for the guests to eat their fill.

Enis makes a point to try the sweeter treats first but is quick to give them up for the more savory dishes provided. She's never been a fan of sweets and that seems to continue to be the case. Once she has a small plate, she finds a place to sit and eat. Her bites are small and experimental before popping the rest of the treat into her mouth. If she doesn't like it, she isn't going to finish it.

When her plate is empty or nearly so, she returns to the food tables for another, trying new things and getting herself a drink as she returns to her small out of the way table.]

V. Dance

[It isn't that Enis doesn't want to dance but doesn't know how. She takes a comfortable position against the side of the wall as she watches people enjoy the fast pace music. She likes the songs and begins thinking of ways that she could change, alter or improve them. Improving a song is a relative thought and greatly matters on opinion but it slips into Enis's thoughts as she smiles and listens to the generally fast pace beats.

So lost in her thoughts and the music, she might not notice anyone's approach until they begin talking to her.]

VII. Wildcard

[ooc: If you can think of something else or want to run into Enis somewhere else. I am up for anything, including plotting at

E~niiiis!

[Unfortunate for Enis, Eliot is one of the people to spot her wallflower behavior. He's been polite and played the role of 'gentleman' to the others he approaches, but Enis gets his full personality. Big smile included.]

There you are. I've been looking for you~ [He settles to a stop in front of her.] What are you doing here against the wall?

[No matter how lost in her thoughts Enis is, she can't ignore the loud smile that she hears in Eliot's voice when he shouts her name.]

You look like you're having fun.

[She comments with an elegant raise to her eyebrow.]

Because the wall is very comfortable.

Is it really? I would never have guessed.

[He wonders if he ought to join her by the wall, then. His feet are quite sore from all of this standing.]

And yes, I suppose I'm enjoying myself. I haven't had this much energy in ages~! What about you?

[Enis has to resist rolling her eyes at him.]

I'm kidding Eliot.

[She looks back around the room before letting her dark blue gaze land back on her overly eager friend.] I'm having fun. I never expected it'd be like this.

It's the first time I've been to something like this.

... Oh.

Well! I'm certainly surprised myself. The only ballroom events I have in my active memory are from when I was human. They were much different from this. I'll admit, I'm feeling out of place in this modern party.

[Enis has no basis of comparison but she's curious about what Eliot is familiar with.]

What do you remember?

Well... Generally, they were events for introducing the new immortals to their special society. It was a lot of meet and greet, occasionally some matchmaking, or making the case for new candidates.

[Eliot hums thoughtfully, tapping his cheek.] And then I would be put somewhere that I could be monitored, and used as a party trick. Making record of any stories brought to me, and made to recite important information to my non-literate superiors.

I learned to dance from watching, since I had a lovely view of the dance floor.

[She files all that information away in case it becomes relevant later. The world that Eliot lives in is interesting and, in some ways, not unlike her own life.]

That doesn't sound like a lot of fun for you.

[Her head tilts thoughtfully to the side.]

Do you like dancing?

I can't remember if I had fun or not, actually... But in doubt, I like to assume that I must have enjoyed myself.

[Better than coming up with more reasons to be miserable!]

And I'm not sure, to be honest. I don't remember dancing recently. I believe my muscle memory is still in tune enough for me to follow along, though.

[Enis flashes a wistful smile towards the dance floor.]

I've never danced before.

[She loves music but she has no idea how she'd step along to a beat.]

Well, then!

[Eliot steps back from the wall and holds out his hand to her.]

There's an easy way to fix that, hm? Can I have a dance, Enis?

[Enis smiles and takes Eliots hand.]

Sure but I'm going to be awful.
