(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~

[ She tilts her head to look at him, offering a hesitant smile in return. Era forewent her harp or lyre or any of her numerous fifes in favour of her violin not just because she enjoys the instrument more, but also because it's the most 'modern' of the instruments she knows how to play... But that still doesn't mean she understands how she can 'rock' with it.

Regardless, she'll do her best. That's all anyone can do, really. ]

I suppose I am. And you, Professor?

[guitar_hero]

Suppose? Hmm. [he thinks] Alright. Let's have a little practice round or two. Play a song. Anyone you like. Let's see what you got, chica.

[astralera]

[ Era falls silent for a few moments, pondering what to play. Most of the modern songs she knows aren't very 'rock', and the classical ones she knows are classical. She doesn't dare play any of the ones she composed herself - there is too much magic in them.

Eventually she decides on the theme from a pirate movie her friend Rose had made her watch so many months ago. It's a bit of a modern jig on; a mix of violin and fiddle. It reminds her of the decks of Limsa Lominsa.

It's also very, very fun to play, if the way her face lights up and the tip of her tail sways like a metronome to the beat is any indication. ]

[guitar_hero]

[he listens to her for a moment. He feels he somewhat knows this but not enough to place it. Still knows enough to play with her. At first playing with her and then in the appropriate moment, showing her how to rock it.]

[astralera]

[ It's nice, playing music with someone else again. Era never really got the chance to with Rosie - never did much with her musical skills in Xistentia, to be honest - so the last time had been with Guydelot so many, many moons past. She stops abruptly when the Professor changes his style of playing.

Rosie had made her listen to music with that sort of an edge to it before, but it was never really to her taste. She also never had the chance to learn how to play like that herself, and hearing it now... Well, she has no idea how to adapt that to the violin.

It will be something to work at, at least. Especially considering how much free time she's found herself with in Genessia. ]

[guitar_hero]

[when the music comes to an end he grins at her] You know, you've got a lot of style! I like it. It's brave to just leap in with and duet with someone like that but I think you and me are gonna make it.

[astralera]

[ Era has been called many things in life, but 'cowardly' has never been one of them. It surprises her to hear that attempting a duet with someone you're unfamiliar with would be considered brave.

She offers a small smile. ] I have more research I must do on 'rock' music.

[guitar_hero]

Sure I can introduce you to some of this and some of that. Of course your best bet is to explore on your own. There's a whole world of music out there to experiment with. [he grins] Brilliant, isn't it? Fantastic.
