GENESSIA PROM!


 
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~

(I) HOTEL LOBBY

( prom isn't actually a thing back in japan so ren has been looking forward to participating in something new, and as any well-mannered young man would, he shows up (more or less) on time and starts surveying the area - that part might have more to do with intel and infiltration habits than any sort of manners, though.

his initial plan had been to dress in something plain and functional, but seeing as how he has a date showing up (sort of? not really. at least, let's not think about it like that.), ann and shiho helped him pick out something a little trendier than he would have on his own.

rather than outright mingling, ren will be found observing people and occasionally fiddling with the ties on his wrists; if you happen to catch him while he's observing you, he'll play it off with a casual smile, expecting an approach. )


(II) EATING/DRINKING

( the bar is a verified smorgasbord of food he's never tried, so though ren doesn't usually eat all that much, he's apparently taking this as a challenge to try anything he hasn't. which means his plate is piled high when he finally makes it to the dessert portion. there's a tray with one (1) sweet-tart left and his tongue pokes out slightly from the corner of his mouth when he plucks it free.

ah, but the person beside him just dropped the second-to-last tart they grabbed right before him! ren glances at the poor confection, now lost to clutches of a dirty floor and hungry tablecloth, and then he wastes exactly zero seconds before offering up his own in replacement. )


Here. ( he holds it out for you to take, and if you refuse, he'll playfully insist ) You sure? You'd be saving me and everyone else some trouble, no one wants to see me pop out of this vest.

( the joke here being he's literally a twig and not popping out of anything please just take the treat so he can stop being a fool. )

(III) DANCE FLOOR

( typically, ren makes it a point not to stand out. he's quiet and mild-mannered where he needs to be but one place he doesn't need to be any of that is on! the! dance floor! there might even be a small group forming around him as he busts out these hot moves, but he can be pulled away for some one-on-one dancing (or, if you're brave enough, a dance battle ₍₍ ◝( ・’ω’・ )◟ ⁾⁾ ) )

(IV) DATE TO DIE FOR ❀ (CLOSED TO AKECHI)

( ren doesn't want to look like he's waiting even though he definitely, most definitely is doing just that. you can only spend so long fiddling with your phone, glancing up from it before it's apparent you're not interested in the phone at all. akechi said he'd come but ren isn't so sure, is feeling about as confident about the whole thing as he did when he invited him - aka not in the least. it's a stupid situation but there's a lot riding on it, in a way, the potential to set a tone for all future interactions and he doesn't know how ready he is for that either.

honestly, if akechi just doesn't show up. it might be easier.

ren exhales and moves to sit on the edge of the fountain, tucking the tail of his shirt under his thighs. he'll give it ten more minutes before dismissing the whole thing - he got here a little early anyway. until then, he'll continue pretending his phone has every bit of his attention. )


(V) SAY YES TO THE DRESS 👗

( at some point in the night, ren stumbles across a girl nearly in tears. in true ren fashion, he can't ignore anything or anyone in distress, but he is still a little taken aback when he asks what's wrong and she blurts that her dress is ruined. he looks over her, because uh, her dress looks fine to him, but the girl makes a very emphasized POINT towards a small stain near her waist, where something...apparently spilled? he'll have to take her word for it. the fabric is dark enough that he doesn't think it's that big of a deal, but she doesn't seem to agree.

what this eventually culminates into ten minutes later is the both of them walking out of a nearby restroom, the girl swapped into ren's very fashionable and just-androgynous-enough outfit to pass as if it had been hers from the start. while ren has changed into her horrendously stained dress.

really, it's nothing, this is silly. but the girl is happier now, showering him with thanks, and that's what's important. he waits a little with her until her own date arrives, then goes back to the event like nothing's changed.

now ren is walking around like he's late for ru paul's drag race and not seeming to give four fucks about it. won't even ad(dress) it unless you bring it up, because boys can be pretty too okay just don't mention the stain. )

[While she hasn't seen the whole thing, it's safe to say Junko's been aware of the situation from the very start. Not least because it had been her exceptional sense of timing and moving at the worst possible time that had seen some poor individual probably making the best of being here solo colliding with the girl in question and causing the ensuing meltdown over a barely anything stain.

She's not overly interested in the aftermath, save that she knows she's seen that guy before somewhere. She couldn't possibly forget someone who's managed to make her do such a thorough 180 on her first impression, after all.

And lo and behold he's still keeping her guessing because she certainly hadn't expected that to be the solution. And so she walks over, sly grin in place as she draws close enough to pass comment.]


Oooh. Did you get into her underwear too, or is that what you're hoping for when it's time to switch back?
redreigning: (Default)

[personal profile] redreigning 2018-05-21 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
( oh. the low-budget ann showed up too, and she's just as pleasant as last time. rather than ignoring her like he might to someone else who he knows is only going to bring trouble, he acknowledges her with a soft snort, maybe to sacrificially keep the her trouble contained to himself. or maybe because he can admit she was interesting to chat with. )

Pretty sure this is a permanent part of my wardrobe now. Thong and all.

( they didn't actually swap underwear, but go ahead and appreciate that visual since you brought it up. he looks over her dress too, and can't say he's the least bit surprised. doesn't her chest get tired? )

Not worried about sneezing?

( she's like one nose-tickle away from popping out of there. )

[personal profile] despairunending 2018-05-22 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
You know that doesn't actually answer my question. Not like I know what you usually prefer under there in the first place.

[Yes she is absolutely implying that he would wear thongs on a regular basis. Considering the complete lack of shame on display right now, she honestly wouldn't put it past him - not that there's anything wrong with that of course. She's hardly one to have a close relationship with shame.

Speaking of.]


Why would I be worried? So I might end up giving some poor losers the mother of all nosebleeds, what's the big deal? Or are you just hoping that by saying it, it'll happen?

[She's mostly teasing with that one. Honestly part of what she finds so intriguing is that in some respects, they're more similar than they might like to admit. Lack of shame and all. That he's managed to discuss more serious matters with her without coming across high and mighty or holier-than-thou is a bonus.

Doesn't mean she has to play nicely, of course.]


Still, I wonder what your date'll think of you getting into another girl's clothes like this.
redreigning: (Default)

[personal profile] redreigning 2018-05-22 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
( this girl really ready to just let loose, tits free. amazing. ren covers his mouth a little to smother a laugh. at least she's not lacking confidence? that's refreshing. )

Sorry, unless when they pop out your name comes with them, I can't say I'm all that interested.

( they never got around to trading those last time since they were both too stubborn to give in first and then got sidetracked by psychics and philosophy. at the mention of his date, there might be a twitch at the corner of his mouth - subtle, slightly bothered - but he answers smoothly. )

My date already hates me so this can't make it any worse.

( he's curious too, though. it's bound to be entertaining at least. )

What about your date? ( ren tilts his head with a teasing little smirk. ) Did you already kill them with the mother of all nosebleeds?

( ren in this house we don't make killing jokes with junko enishima........... )

[Ann couldn't say she hadn't been a little surprised when Ren had asked for her and Shiho's help in finding something to wear for prom - though she'd been rather less surprised at the hint of him having a date. This was Ren, after all, it would probably be more of a surprise to her if he hadn't found someone.

Now, though, as she catches sight of him observing proceedings, she can't help but think that he seems almost nervous. Not something she's used to, from him, and while she realises he could be fidgety for other reasons it at least makes a good excuse for her to check in on him.

And so she heads over, lightly batting away his hand from the ties at his sleeves as though that's the only reason she's come over to begin with.]


They're going to come undone if you keep playing with them, you know.
redreigning: (Default)

[personal profile] redreigning 2018-05-21 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
( ahahhaha....yeah...his "date".... )

That's just my Ann-summoning signal. I got lonely.

( he smiles. he is a little nervous, but not for the reasons she probably thinks. never one to make anything about himself though, ren turns the subject to something far more important: )

Did I tell you how nice you look tonight? ( like five times already, but here's a sixth. ) I'm not used to seeing you with your hair down, it's like a mermaid.

( ...as in, as rare to see as a mermaid, or pretty like a mermaid's? either way, it's a compliment - one in a pile of many, he's sure, but his count more because he's not trying to bang her. )
phanther: (39)

[personal profile] phanther 2018-05-22 09:22 am (UTC)(link)
If that was it, you could have just come and found me you know.

[Translation: she's not fully buying that but she won't press the matter because maybe talking about what's really going on will only make him more nervous. Or maybe they just should never have talked him into sleeves with ties to being with.

Her gaze shifts just a little at his compliment - she's heard the first part a lot tonight, and this isn't the first he's paid her tonight, but that in itself brings a flush to her cheeks because sheesh guys, she hadn't expected the hair thing to be such a big deal.]


Well, you know. Tonight's about doing something a little different. Plus, this way I don't have to worry about ruining hours of someone's hard work when I'm dancing.

[She's seen a lot of fancy updos tonight but she also knows she wouldn't have the patience to deal with any of them for an entire night where she's meant to be having fun. Perhaps that's too much association with work and how she has to worry there about even a hair being out of place.]
redreigning: (Default)

[personal profile] redreigning 2018-05-23 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
( ren thinks on that, looking towards the entrance, the glittering decorations and all the faces of people he doesn't know. the absent face of someone he's not sure he still wants to know. )

Different. That's a good word for it.

( all of this has been - ever since he got to genessia. tonight is definitely about new experiences too, and not all of them have to be centered around the one he's worried about. he brings his smile back to her. )

Like the fact that you're not stuck to Suzui-san. ( he teases, though he knows ann is probably just thinking the same as him - that shiho probably wants (probably needs) some agency, to feel like she can handle herself even when she knows her friends are here for her. ren playfully bats at the end of one of her curls with his fingertips, tilting his head with amusement in his eyes. ) Shouldn't you be more stuck to Ryuji, though?

( they came together right? like. together. not in the same car sort of way. )

I think we might need to gang up on him for a dance or something, he hasn't been looking like himself. ( ren chuckles, but after a moment, he's looking out in the crowd with a little concern, as if he's hoping to spot that mess of spiky blond hair. ) I don't just mean the suit.

( translation: ryuji seems kinda down but no one told ren about Gone GirlfriendTM )

[Admitedly Chiaki couldn't help but be more than a little impressed to say the least. Chiaki wasn't a dancer, but she could play dancing games. But she always found there really was a huge difference between the two. So even though she had a silver medal for dancing games because she lost to someone with some sweet dance moves her actual dancing was something she was not at all good at. But she figured she could at least try.]

You have some pretty nice dance moves.

( yes. he sure is fierce and shameless but he can pause the showboating for a moment to appreciate that the small, cute girl from the arcade came over specifically to compliment him. )

Are you here to show me yours?

( he smiles, holding out his hands encouragingly while still swaying a bit from side to side. )

If they're half as good as your arcade skills, everyone here is going to be put to shame.

[personal profile] gamerrep 2018-05-24 10:13 am (UTC)(link)
I don't have dance moves. I sway.

[Dancing games are vastly different from actual dancing, so she is aware she isn't that good. But she doesn't mind all that much regardless.]
redreigning: (♛ smoke so much weed u wouldn't believe)

[personal profile] redreigning 2018-05-25 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
( she sways. ren chuckles and dances around her, his hip might bump against hers ever so slightly. )

Show me how you sway then.

( as far as he's concerned, swaying is moving and if she's moving with the music, it's dancing, but it was a funny answer regardless. she was like this last time too - not bothered, simply honest. it's definitely something he can appreciate. )

Did you come alone, Nanami-san?

[ he is, after vigorous internal debate, quite certain going through with this is going to bite him incredibly hard in the ass later. there is no way he is leaving this with a wholly positive experience but out of his need to learn the absolute truth about everything -- and seeing how he was planning on going to this anyway (he might just enjoy the hell out of parties when he actually gets to go to one)...

he's there. on time, dressed like he's an international spy with a license to kill. white because he has no idea what sort of color palette ren is going for (dates match, don't they?). there was an attempt to make his hair nicer than usual by pulling it back, though the layering has pieces lose and back to framing his face leaving it far more 'stylishly messy' than the planned perfection he was aiming for. he'll probably just give up on this later and pull it back down.

ren gave him ten minutes and akechi made his way over in three, sitting next to him at the fountain, crossing one leg over the other and flashing the cheekiest smile in the world. ha ha. he showed up. now you have to date him. sucks to be you, ren. this is punishment for blurting this out instead. that's what it is. yup. ]


Wouldn't it have been embarrassing if you were stood-up? A tragic scene, you waiting alone by a fountain...
redreigning: (Default)

[personal profile] redreigning 2018-05-25 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
( ah. so in the end, akechi stays true to his word. how could ren have anticipated that? he does a spectacular job of pretending every hair on his body does not raise at sudden proximity, casually turning his head as if he knew akechi would show up right then all along. like he didn't make some impulsive, massive fuck up by inviting him here. inviting. not asking him out. at best, this is some public display of truce. at worst...well, let's not think about worst scenarios with akechi, they don't have a record of ending cleanly. )

I don't know what you're talking about. ( he smiles back, tilting his head a bit. ) I'm just out here taking in the view.

( you had your head neck-deep in your phone but whatever ren. taking in the view is definitely what he's doing now though, a steady attention fixed on his not-date as he slides his phone into his pocket. there's a similar feeling to when he saw him at the beach, though the suit is more formal and thus in line with something he could picture akechi in - ren realizes it's the hair now. it's seeing more of akechi's face; soft features and smooth looking skin and why is he noticing this why is akechi such a damn girl. )

You look like you stepped right out of Sae-san's palace. Are you sure you're not her cognitive?

( no. sae's cognitive akechi is probably bright and innocent and would never think of shooting their best frenemy in the face. )
misalignment: (Default)

[personal profile] misalignment 2018-05-27 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ akechi tends to stay true to his word for a liar, though his word has a history of being awful and containing double-meaning when it comes to major agreements. it'd be out of character to turn down anyone's invitation anywhere, especially one that doesn't seem to expect him to provide entertainment value. ren might be leaning more towards what sae does when she invites him to tag along - pick his brain.

though ren keeps chickening out on doing that. in any case, he wasn't going to skip out on possibly making ren uncomfortable for an entire evening for not being the most amicable. goro akechi's best method of torture: just existing. ]


Was your phone providing adequate scenery? [ yeah, whatever ren. sounds like bullshit to him. akechi's not hiding the fact that his eyes look over ren completely. what are you wearing? he had no idea he had any sort of fashion sense. ren seemed the type to aim for simplicity and comfort over any aesthetic choice. did ann dress him? that would have to be it, right? ]

But not even her own sister had a cognitive double in there. I never stood a chance of being thought enough about to manifest inside in her heart. [ it was a bit of a let down finding that out. it would have been insightful to know her truest opinions. he once thought a version of him would be next to her with a clipboard, full of facts about how things are running but that was an incorrect deduction in the end. it'd probably better he never sees another cognitive of himself. ]

Do you like it? [ he makes a show of sitting straighter and adjusting his bowtie. ] I was aiming for debonair. I think we both look quite handsome.

( funny, ren would have assumed it was the reverse. he's consistently baffled that akechi can even stand the sight of him, that he keeps agreeing to meet him when ren has really not done much more than metaphorically poke and pry at him, testing what akechi knows and what he will or won't do. ego is the only explanation he can think of - the both of them are simply too full of it to be the one to back off first.

and then there's something in akechi's words the reminds him of a second reason why. it's not the way he says it, as bright and nauseatingly smiley as ever, but the word choice that crinkles the space between ren's brows. there's a hopelessness to it that reminds him of things akechi has said before, thrown into doubt after his betrayal, but this sheds light streaks of curiosity over those admissions once more.

ren's gaze is steady and studying, but his smile contradicts with the ease of its turn. )


Maybe for the best. You'd probably be some high-end sushi fiend in her head.

( movement takes his attention, eyes flicking to the bowtie. does he like it feels like a loaded question somehow. the urge to be dismissive is strong but the fun of giving akechi a hard time is even stronger. )

I think whether I do or not is irrelevant when you have enough praise for the both of us.

( don't fish for compliments here. he's not giving you the satisfaction of letting you know just how cute your bowtie is or how nice your hair looks. ren stands, hands in pockets; doesn't walk quite side-by-side but he stays close enough that people will know they're acquainted. )

Have you been to something like this before?

lobby time

[personal profile] effinskull 2018-05-25 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ryuji, still feeling down and upset about the recent turn of events, had broken away from ann and had decided to walk around a little bit. maybe he just needed some space, or maybe he was looking for someone in particular to help him out. either way, he found himself at the lobby and...

yeah. yeah that's the guy he was looking for.

ryuji went up to him, slinging an arm around his neck and tugging his buddy in close.]


You bein' a creep and just watchin' people? Mannn, you'll never get a dance like that. [he said is jokingly, but the enthusiasm just wasn't there. he let go of his friend after a moment.]

( it's a good thing ann told him about the whole mimi thing or ren would have some serious #concerns right about now. of course, he is still concerned - it twists him right in the gut, whenever ryuji isn't quite being his silly sunshine self - but because he knows the reason, he can be a little more tactful about this. )

Ah, then lucky for me the expert on getting dances has shown up.

( he'll go ahead and take ryuji's arm back now, wrapping it around his neck while he does the same with his own, grinning a bit. )

Teach me your ways, spiky-senpai.

[personal profile] effinskull 2018-05-30 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Huh?

[expert?! ryuji just stares at ren, watching as he also moved his arm back around his friend.]

W-well I uh... you know I was just kiddin' around, right?! [he smiled a little awkwardly, but it was in a good way. he was glad that ren was here, too.]

You um, you come here with a date? [he didn't take his arm away from him this time. it was kind of like a sideways buddy hug.]
redreigning: (Default)

[personal profile] redreigning 2018-06-02 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
( a sideways buddy hug indeed. ren smirks, tugging him in a bit closer. )

No, really. With a body like that, it's clear who the expert here is. Master, please show me how to bust a move.

( no intention of being gentle on poor heartbroken ryuji as ren starts guiding them along to the dance hall. at the mention of a date though, ren pointedly averts his gaze. )

...I invited someone.

( we're not using that word. date. )

[ monika is a sea of compliments, never-ending. just about anyone she talks to she's expressing how gorgeous and phenomenal they look. everyone is just so beautiful! beautiful and so alive! she loves them all, she thinks.

so it's not terribly odd that she complimented that very same dress only an hour ago before it reappears on a completely different person. her eyes follow ren and the dress flowing along with him. now she wasn't planning on dancing with anyone at the moment but she can't resist becoming his shadow until she manages to close in on him.

doing a little twirl to get in front of him, dramatically putting a hand out to steal him on the dance floor. time to get serenaded by monika coming up with poetry on the spot. ]


The very definition of beauty!
The definition usually is none.
But should it, would it have form to me
In front of me is the one!
I won't ask what of it is natural or what of it is real
Because none of it matters but how that dress makes me feel.
redreigning: (Default)

[personal profile] redreigning 2018-05-28 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
( ren is, understandably, a little confused at first. she twirls into his space with such abandon he thinks he's about to be challenged or smacked into - wearing what he is has been snagging him a lot more attention than he's used to, and he gives her hand a cautionary glance before his eyes flick right back up at the poetry.

it clicks. he smiles. )


What a pick-up line. I'm going to be swept right off my feet if I don't retaliate. Let's see...

( a little pause for thought, fingers touching his chin. )

The definition is not none
But rather, cannot be limited to one
Eyes like emeralds, and a dress like the sea
Can you believe my left hand has asked to dance with me?

( throwback jokes!! with a soft laugh, his hand comes back down to settle into hers. )

It's nice to finally see you in the flesh, Monika-san.

[ monika sees no reason to be shy about approaching someone here, especially people she was trying to find. surely the people she's talked to on the network were what few people she hasn't said hello to yet, right? it was a lucky guess based on probability and the fact that she stalked everyone's posts and had more or less full descriptions in her head. people facebook stalk and nobody thinks it's weird. looking through network posts is basically the same thing!

she's swaying her head back and forth slightly to whatever music is going along in the background that seems to match up with his perfect comeback. the look she has on can be described as pure delight and adoration. ah. the muse!

and he took her hand, which she grasps and pulls along to position them in a spot to dance. perfect! ]


Ditto, Ren! You couldn't possibly imagine how great it is to meet someone in person finally. I lucked out you made yourself so easy to find by wearing such a head-turner.
redreigning: (Default)

[personal profile] redreigning 2018-06-11 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
( she's so bright that it's a little infectious, ren laughs softly and draws her hands to his waist with a soft flush on his cheeks, placing his own on her shoulders since...he's too COWARDLY to do it the other way around. )

Not on purpose, but I'm glad something good came out of it. Attention is kind of new for me.

( at least the positive kind. )

Is yours a homage to the plant from your poem?

( she is very Fresh and Green and Lovely. )
