(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~

It's not just about the outfits. Most of the people who are having their picture taken are doing so with their date, or a group of friends.

[...which wasn't to say there weren't some girls who might want to remember their physical appearance in their dress of the evening. Just that, overall, the social aspect seemed to be favored more.]

[stillsmiling]

I came alone, though... I think Seth has a date, so he'll be too busy to spend time with me.

[He fidgets with his journal. A photo would be nice. Even if it's scary, he does want to prove to himself that he can do brave things.]

Are you with someone?

[intothelens]

[She nodded.]

I'm here with Takeru.

He even helped with the setup earlier, so we've been together on and off for most of the day.

[...which, given it was them, was fairly typical.]

[stillsmiling]

Really? You set all of this up?

[Shi looks upwards again.]

It looks like the stars. I feel like I walked into the sky!

[intothelens]

Well, we had some help...but yes.

[Part of her was still amazed that they managed to pull it off in time. But the volunteers had come through, and somehow, there hadn't been a single issue with any of the companies she'd needed to coordinate with to acquire the props, food, and decorations.]

[Also the fact that she was the "official" camerawoman for the evening meant one last coordination to keep track of.]

That was the idea.

It makes everything feel almost like a dream.
