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~

Re: Belle [OPEN]

[borntolove]

[Ten is in his usual blue pin suit and red tie and when he spots Belle he remarks]

Tu as l'air absolument beau ce soir Belle. M'accordez-vous cette danse?

[He does notice that she's not so perky as usual]

[clevermind]

[Belle looks up, her lips pulling into a soft smile that doesn't quite reach her eyes. Ten is a very dear friend of hers and she's silently thankful to see him here at the ball.]

Thank you. You look very stunning as well.

[She'd love the distraction and she loves to dance.] Yes, please. [Her hand slips in his as she raises to her feet to walk towards the dance floor.]

Are you having fun this evening?

[Belle doesn't know if she wants to talk about what's bothering her.]

[borntolove]

Je vous remercie.

[Even if he does seem to wear the exact same thing every day and guides Belle slowly over the dance floor with her hand held up high and begins a slow walz]

Yes. [both his lips and eyes are cheerful and gently remarks]

But you don't seem to be. Why is that?

[clevermind]

[Belle shakes her head softly from left to right.]

I'm sorry. I hope I am not keeping you down. I'm just a little out of sorts.

I had to come alone this evening and it's a little lonely.

[It helps to have friends there but it isn't exactly the same.]

[borntolove]

[Ten remarks in a whisper in French]

Never.

[Then picks up the pace a bit. Hopefully, he can at least distract her for a bit and she can hopefully enjoy herself]

[clevermind]

[A light smile plays across the graceful curve of Belle's lips.]

You're too kind.

[She replies as she lets her self enjoy the dance and the sweet attention of her partner. Belle really does love dancing.]

[borntolove]

[As much as they are dancing a waltz - it is purely friendship and love for dancing]

When did you learn to dance, Miss Belle?

[Even if he is still sort of charming her]

[clevermind]

[Belle looses herself to the music and the movements. It's a freeing motion with warmth and light surrounding her. It doesn't completely banish the empty sadness in her chest but the distraction helps... a little.]

My father taught me when I was just a girl.

And what about you?
