GENESSIA PROM!

[intothelens]

(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~

Yes, it's much harder to seal an opening after one has been created. [ And would explain the penchant for multiple people from the same worlds to be 'kidnapped'. Era smiles though, also hoping she won't need to wait for too long. ]

Aymeric will likely arrive first, as Estinien has a tendency for arriving 'fashionably late'. Regardless of if they take days, weeks, or months... As long as I am here, I will be eagerly awaiting them.

[ She does let out the smallest of laughs here. ] Though I won't be actively waiting for them - they've taken too long for me to bother with that now.

[phanther]

Right...I guess there's only so long you can hold out for someone before you have to let yourself move on from that. Or, well...not move on, I guess. I just mean, it's good that you're prepared to carry on without them until they get here.

[She knows that can't be easy. She'd know that even if she didn't know that Futaba had been forced to do more or less the same thing. But she appreciates how positive Era is being about it, at least for the time being.]

Besides. It'll probably help them more if you're already settled, right?

[astralera]

[ Era nods at the question. ] It will help if I've accrued enough currency to aid them in settling once they arrive, and I am considering building a small cottage to start with.

[ That's one way to improve your crafting skills, right? She's great at botany, and is pretty good at making furniture... A house shouldn't be too difficult... ]

What did your friends do that you found most helpful?

[phanther]

You know how to do that? That's pretty impressive.

[Ann's never known someone who could build a house from scratch before. It's why she chooses not to mention that there are plenty of perfectly functional places to live in all of the cities - it's not her place to say where someone should or shouldn't live.]

Honestly, just them being here helped a lot. Not that there weren't other people willing to help but it makes hearing some of the weirder stuff easier if it's coming from someone you know.

[She goes with know over trust because a lot of her information came from Akechi and she's still wrapping her head around how to deal with him with all she knows now.]

[astralera]

I have the supplies for it.

[ It would be a shame for all the housing parts her retainers brought her (somehow - she hasn't dared ask where they came from) to go to waste, and with no marketboard the only other thing to do is use them. The frame will be the most difficult part, probably. ]

...That is true. It's easier to accept information when it's told to you by a trusted confidant.

[phanther]

Already? Huh, even if I knew where to start I'd have to save for years to afford something like that.

[She can only really afford where she is now because Ren's a workaholic who covers most of the rent.

Her expression falters at the "trusted confidant" part, if only because she's not sure she'd describe one of the people who'd explained most about this place as either of those two things.]

I think even just a familiar face can help. As long as you don't have reason to think they're lying to you, anyway.

[And that had been something that could have gone either way with Akechi.]

[astralera]

I had many of them on hand when I arrived.

[ How does that work? We just don't know. ]

I suppose that is true enough. It would be easy enough to confirm the information given to you if you had any doubts of its veracity.

[phanther]

That's true. This place is pretty open about a lot of things anyway, though I kinda wish they left the hologram speech for a little later on.

[It had been a lot to take in all at once while she was also wrapped up in freaking out over where she was. A little buffer time before the introductory spiel might have been nice.]
