genessia | 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~

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Koishi's blank slate is like hitting a wall for Satou's empathy: It jolts her briefly, then leaves her dazed. Her romantic mood hasn't been shaken out of her yet, but she can feel something is off. Now it's a matter of her doing something about it.

For now! Dancing!]

Yay, thank you~! I don't know anything about the way people dance here, Ms Komeiji... eheh~n. Do youu?

"Mhmm!" She stopped forward, the feeling growing more intense with proximity. Her third eye drifted closer, bobbing and swaying merrily. "Mister fins taught me how to dance last year. I bet I can still dance now!"

She did a little hop, floating up to about eye level with Satou. The closer she got the less emotions she felt around her. Koishi reached out to take her hand and, upon first contact, the empath would find herself entirely psychically cut off. Any and all psychic presence was simply nullified by this strange emotionless girl.

[Now Satou 'sobers up' very quickly. She feels a strange, icy chill as her emotion-based magic is nullified and rendered useless. She's got one paralyzed leg that she supports with magic, with is rendered useless during the initial shock.

Clumsily, Satou takes a nose dive to the floor.]

SHIIiiii~~~ I-- um! Ouch.

Koishi yelped a little, zipping down and grabbing Satou quickly, preventing her from falling completely. "Oh no. Are you ok?"

She was pouting but, again, there was no empathy. No compassion. No malice though either. "You should be careful miss. You don't want to slip like that or you'll get hurt."

[To Satou, this is kind of spooky. She accepts being grabbed, of course, but the lack of emotion... It's so strange. She can see from the pendent that Koishi is a sentient resident of Genessia, but...]

Ahhhh you're tootally right! Wowzers, y-you have such fast reflexes! Thank you!

Even the weird not-people in Genessia had some semblance of emotion. It just wasn't genuine. This was... Different.

"You're welcome. Try not to slip again, okay? Koishi let her go, the mental presence of everyone around fading back in as she pulled her hand away. Though it sill appeared muffled. "You should relax. You're shaking."

I-I am?

[Yes, she is. This was so unnerving. Satou likes to think she's adaptable and tough, but this is shaking her most trusted sense.

She looks up at Koishi, confused.]

Relax, right... ah.... oh. A-Are you... Are you feeling okay?

Koishi seemed to pause, tilting her head the other way and blinking. She waited a long moment, staring, before breaking into an enormous smile once again.

There was no joy there... It was probably the most convincing fake smile she had ever seen.

Satou would feel something in her mind. A psychic tugging that created ripples of 'silence' around her. "That's a silly thing to ask at a party. To answer though I'm doing fine. But I suspect you already know how I feel, don't you?"

A small laugh. "I don't meet empaths often. I'm sorry if I startled you."

[CALLED OUT?

Satou freezes. At first, because she thinks she's in trouble. It's scary to not be able to read people. Satou wasn't aware of how heavily she depended on that until she met Koishi...

But when Koishi proves friendly, she relaxes. A bit.]

Y-You can tell? I-Iii'm so sorry! I don't mean to be a rude empath.

"Mhmm!" Koishi nodded enthusiastically. "My power is the manipulation of the subconscious mind. And I feel all the thoughts and feelings filtering through you. It makes reflecting them properly a little hard. But that's okay. It's interesting so it's fine."

A small laugh. "I'm sorry if I startled you though. I'm empty. Since my eye is broken. I have to feel things through other people. Sorry about that."
