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

Well yeah. I mean it kept me busy, I learned something new and I managed to narrow down what the light weren't.

[So all in all, it was a good thing she studied. But thinking about it more, she knew she really did have too much time on her hands back home. Here she was somewhat glad she could do so much more.

She smiled for a moment, she was happy with the compliment.]

Thank you. Though not sure what I will do with it when this is over. That's the only downside really.

I'm sure the dress will make a nice memory... A library of knowledge isn't necessarily full of books, hm?

[Deep down, a part of Eliot panics over that fact. It means acknowledging that even with his memory, he's never going to be the perfect library.]

And there will always be a sky of stars and reasons to dance. You'll have chances to wear it again, I'm sure.

No. I think it's also about experiences, right?

[She paused trying to think it over. SHe thinks that the right answer at least.]

But I've noticed with all the dances I have been too, people never wear the same dress twice.

Yes, exactly. Your dress will be plenty experienced~!

Though, I don't see why you cannot wear it twice. Dresses are meant to be seen, right? Parties are so strange. I seem to recall... [He squints, as he is having to pry open locked memories to remember:] ... As the Living Library, I was always dressed the same as the early parties. So I could be recognized easily, and kept tabs on.

I think I will be more experienced than my dress since I'm the one who is doing things.

[She couldn't help but give off a light chuckle for a moment, but she soon stopped to pay attention to what he was saying.]

Kept tabs on? Like being watched all the time? That must not have been fun at all.

[He smiles at that, agreeing:] Mm. You're becoming quite wise!

[But then the topic veers back. Eliot is honestly not sure how to discuss his life back home. Both because the people of Genessia seem morally opposed to it, and because his old memories are gradually fading away.]

It isn't a matter of fun. I'm not alive to enjoy myself like others are. I exist to serve. They only brought me to parties so that the other Immortals could choose to leave or take some wisdom.

[Rapunzel couldn't help but frown slightly. Admittedly she didn't understand at all. After all different worlds and such. So that might have been normal. Buit her as a person couldn't help but find that thought process to be a little sad to say the least.]

That sounds like a really sad life. It's like... being trapped and unable to see what life has to offer.

[Eliot is used to being told that... but when it comes from Rapunzel, it sticks out. He knows that she was trapped in a tower, and unable to see what was outside her reach. Even if there was slight similarity, he always felt that her situation was wrong and unfair.

He's actively trying not to agree that his situation is sad too.]

Yes, well... It's alright. Before I became the Living Library, I was just a nameless orphan on the streets of France. I would have likely died before I turned 10, without ever seeing beyond the slums. So! I think this worked out wonderfully. I'm so lucky!

[Eliot smiles, trying to be positive.]

Ah, do you like dancing?

[She...guessed that was a positive, but she wasn't sure. It meant he got to live past that age, but at the same time one really had to give up a lot in order to simply not die. Rapunzel wondered if she would ever be able to make tough choices like that in order for herself to survive or for anyone she cared about to survive.

She wondered how she would deal with it then. But she brushed it off for the moment and trying to go back to her usual positive self. A smile passing by her lips.]

Ah, I do enjoy a good dance or two? Want to go? It will be fun I am sure and without shoes, it's so much easier to do.

Without shoes? [He wonders if his feet are bruised from dancing with Winry......... hm.]

What I mean is~! I would love to dance with you, Rapunzel. [He even offers her a playful bow before holding out his hand.] Unless it's convenient?

[She happily clapped before she moved to drag him further onto the dance floor. odds are highly likely that she might spin him around for a moment.]

This seems to be a good spot.

[She turns around, still holding his hands. She wasn't going to be the normal slowly dancing. She was just going to move around in circles at best. She was having fun with it.]

[Eliot is caught off guard, but in a good way. This isn't at all what he imagined when he took up her offer to dance. Eliot is so used to structure--- But this is fun chaos!

At least for the moment, he forgets to fuss about order and enjoys being confused.]

What kind of dancing is this? I'm going to get dizzy~!

I don't think it's a certain type of dancing. But do you really need to always have a certain style?

[She soon let go at least to dance by herself if that was what he wanted.]

[He figures she wants to dance alone, which is fine. Eliot is happy just watching Rapunzel, honestly. She has so much sincere energy.]

... I don't suppose that I do, now do I? Genessia is different. Besides~! New things are invented by exploring outside traditional methods! [His way of justifying trying something new.]

Exactly. Think outside the box and you learn something new.

[She smiled happily twirling for a moment. She seemed happy enough and content to dance the way she was currently.]
