(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~

So many partygoers claiming to be lacking in dance skills. Era can't say she's surprised, but it's not exactly something she had expected either. It isn't a problem though. Not so long ago she would have had to say the same herself.

"Skilled or no, as long as you enjoy yourself it doesn't truly matter," she smiles encouragingly. "Though it is not beyond me to teach you some dance, if you'd like to learn."

[chocobosnap]

"I'll try." Prompto smiled shyly and held out his hands. He knew he was supposed to lead, that was just how things were but he didn't have the noble upbringing his best friend did.

"S-Sorry if I'm nervous. It's...normal for me."

[astralera]

Era takes his hands without pause, quietly guiding them to the correct placement should he need any help with that.

"Think naught of it. Nervousness is not such an uncommon thing," she reassures him. "I will lead to start and then pass the lead to you once you're more comfortable, if that's acceptable."

[chocobosnap]

"Okay, yeah sure." He nodded, she could lead first, and maybe if he got more comfortable with the movements, he could take over.

He held her hand and her waist gently, not wanting to squeeze too hard out of anxiety.

"So...right...moving." Prompto took a breath.

[astralera]

Seeing nothing wrong with their current form, Era begins to lead Prompto through the first few basic steps of a partnered dance. Though she leads she does it by putting gentle resistance in the direction the young man needs to move next rather than pulling him along herself.

"Can you feel the music dancing under your skin?"

[chocobosnap]

"Am I supposed to?" He tilted his head curiously.

"N-Not really?"

[astralera]

"I am not sure." She's only discussed music before with fellow musicians, or musically-inclined folk. "But there is a beat to every song, much like the beating of a heart. Some music, when played loudly enough, you can feel within your very bones."

[chocobosnap]

"Oh, like the beat?" He asked, nodding a little bit.

"Yeah, I sort of know about that."
