(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]

[Her first month in this place was strange - both frightening and, at the same time, liberating. A world where only a few people knew her by her name, and a fair amount of them were those she considered friends, or acquaintances. It still took a while for her to get used to everything, but moving in with Ann and Ren helped to alleviate that.

Shiho's decision to go with friends to the prom was an obvious choice for her. One of the things she took the opportunity to do here, in Genessia, was trying to be more independent -- but not stray too far from those she trusted. To feel like she could stand up for herself while feeling the strength her friends gave her just by being there with her.

The dress she chose was simple, but she liked it. White was a common color, but she didn't care - the important part was that it was the color she chose.

Walking into the hotel, she wasted no time trying to find her friends - but she stopped to greet others that she met along the way. She was happy to be here, among friends, acquaintances and even strangers. It felt to her that she was at least somewhat independent, even though she missed home.]

[IV/V]

[Partway into the prom, she decides to stop by the food table, sampling some of the selections in very small portions. She's more than happy to converse with people as she does so, even commenting on how good everything tastes, but someone may wish to stop her from trying the punch, just in case something bad has happened to it.

She's not quite confident enough to ask others to dance yet, but she's also hoping that someone will ask her to. It's a staple of events like this, isn't it?]

( don't you worry shiho, because ren is in direct line of sight to catch you picking up that drink ladle and he may have heard a group of hooligans (not his group of hooligans) giggling earlier about putting something in the punch. ) Ah - Suzui-san, wait! ( justice is swift. and so is ren. who crosses the room in what seems like one feline-leap so he can snatch the ladle from her fingers - without spilling a drop of course, because he's not ryuji. he laughs, just a bit nervously, not wanting to worry her by admitting that there could be alcohol, or something worse, in there, so he plays it off. ) Aha, sorry, I just - been waiting all night to try this...punch. ( why is it called that anyway? it's juice, not a fist. uh, regardless, he's just gonna bite the bullet and quickly drink his own cup here, to make sure it's safe. and once he has, he follows up his theatrics with a very neutral: ) Great punch. Delicious. ( thanks ren. with no toxins detected, he carefully pours her a cup as a makeshift apology for interrupting her, handing it over with a small smile. ) You look happy, Suzui-san. ( mm, maybe happy isn't the right word. comfortable? content? he just means he's glad to see her trying to have some fun. she's been through a lot - kamoshida, her recovery, and now being dragged here - no one would blame her for wanting to stay home, but she is trying her best to adjust to things and he thinks it's admirable. ) Are you having a good time?

[Though they'd arrived together, Ann has been making a conscious effort not to helicopter around Shiho. It's not an easy ask, because despite that they're at least a million miles from home and everything that happened, Ann still can't shake the image of how broken Shiho had been, how utterly Kamoshida had sought to ruin her life and the fact that she still felt just the tiniest bit culpable for it.

Not as much as she knew Kamoshida should. But that underlying current of guilt still lingers.

Even so, she knows Shiho wants to assert her independence more while she's here and as her friend, Ann is here to enable that. Not to say she won't step in if there's trouble but she wants Shiho to have space and time to enjoy herself - and besides, it's not like Shiho is the only one she's worried about.

She always has time for sweets, though, and it's there that she runs into Shiho again. In contrast to Shiho's little portions, Ann's plate is full of sweet treats and a little fruit so she can convince herself she's had something healthy too. But those all go ignored for now; the bright smile she offers is all for Shiho.]

Hey. Are you having fun? They've really gone all out for this, huh?
