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~

[Takeru was admittedly a tiny bit nervous, mostly because remembering what he did in dance classes and he really didn't want to mess such a thing up by stepping on her feet or something.

When they had sound the spot he made sure to stand in front of her left hand moving hers up slightly, while his right was gently placed on her waist. Once he was sure it was okay he made sure to lead the way, steps in time and keeping enough distance so that no toes would be stepped on.

At least so far he was doing okay.]

[He felt...tense.]

[Not completely stiff, and in fact, if Hikari wasn't so used to his constant presence, she might not have immediately noticed. But there was definitely a degree of tenseness radiating off him at that moment. Like he was nervous. And it took her far longer to recognize the reason than it should have...which, really, was a testament to how hard he seemed to be working to make things go as smoothly as possible.]

[A little too hard.]

You can relax, you know. [She smiled warmly up at him. Refraining from teasing this time, in case that made things worse.] You're doing fine.

Sorry...

[He had felt bad about being tense and felt bad that she even noticed. He just wanted to make sure that he didn't mess up. But with each step and not messing it up, he was slowly starting to get a bit more comfortable with his steps.]

I just wanted to make sure I didn't mess up, that's all. Guess I ended up a little too focused.

[She felt bad that he felt bad...but giving into such feelings would perpetuate their never-ending cycle, so instead, she opted to lightly shake her head.]

You don't have to apologize.

[Especially since she had already guessed his motive. Something which softened her smile all the more.]

But if you focus too hard on your feet, then you're going to forget I'm standing right in front of you. [Spoken in just such a tone that he would be able to tell she wasn't serious.] Look at me, and try just listening to the music.

[He was slowly getting more and more comfortable with the dancing, he seemed a lot less tense. Adapting while listening to the music.]

Well can I at least say sorry for not paying to the most beautiful thing in front of me?

[He figured he might as well be cheesy at least.]

[So cheesy. To the point where, thanks to her own prior advice about insisting he look at her, she couldn't look away either. Meaning her subsequent blush at the compliment was on full display.]

[Whether or not he knew that was anyone's guess.]

Takeru...

[Without breaking eye contact, her head dipped down shyly. She'd wanted to sound annoyed with him, but her tone came out much softer.]

[He couldn't help but laugh slightly. Even if it wasn't much in terms of a reaction, it was still something in his mind. But his footing was a lot better and the lessons he had taken were at least starting to kick in. So the next step was to do a very simple twirl.]

I thought there was someone to be something at the end of my name there.

[The hem of her dress billowed around her as she took his cue, spinning once gracefully despite her ongoing blush. Even letting out a small giggle.]

Sometimes, just your name is enough.

It brings the message across... Sometimes.

[Bit of light teasing couldn't hurt them any really. As he gently held her again, a soft smile passed by his lips. He at least for the moment he didn't need to tease. Not right after that one anyway.

But he started to hear the song wind down and he knew that no one got hurt, which was good.]

To note... Not teasing when I say this but, you look wonderful tonight.

[Less of a blush this time, but still present. Flattered rather than embarrassed or sheepish. She wouldn't even bother trying to hide it; let him have that one.]

So do you.

I've seen you dressed up before, but...this evening still seems different somehow.

[But definitely not in a bad way.]

Is it because of the atmosphere? I wouldn't blame you if it was because I get why it seems like a couples thing.

[He had stopped moving as the song had changed which cause the man to at least stop dancing for the time being.]

Want to go get a drink after all that dancing?

[And the fact that we're a couple now.]

[She didn't said the words aloud, but the sentiment was there. Shining in her eyes for a moment after he spoke, even as the music came to an end. And so did their dance.]

I am a bit thirsty, yes.

Then let's get a drink and just chill for the time being.

[He kept a firm grip on her hand as he started to lead her away from the dance floor and toward the place where the drink was.]

Now what will you have?

Anything but the fruit punch.

[She said with an unusual degree of suspicion, eyeing the bowl out of the corner of her eye.]

I'm not sure why, but I've been hearing how drinking the fruit punch at a prom like this is always a bad idea. So...just to be safe, a water or soda would be better.

Huh really? Was that something Mimi told you?

[He made a mental note to make sure he kept to water for the rest of the night. But as they reached the drinks he was already going to get her a water before handing it to her.]

Here you go.

Thank you.

[She accepted the water, taking the time for a few sips before returning to his earlier question.]

It was either Mimi or one of the people we spoke to about Prom after she made the announcement. I remember it being a passing comment at the time. I think they even laughed about it. But...the more I thought about it...I think they were serious.

[He moved to take a sip of his own drink, taking that time to listen and think of his next words.]

Well I guess we have learned a lot while sorting this whole thing out it seems.

[He smiled slightly once ore taking another sip of his drink before placing the glass down for the moment.]

Though I will add, you did an amazing job.

[Again, she expressed gratitude for the sentiment, cheeks flushing a light pink before letting out a soft giggle.]

But I'd just as well not have to do it again anytime soon.

I'm sure you won't.

[He had gone to wrap an arm around her for the moment.]

But for now, we can enjoy the time we have together. because I get the feeling you'll want to make sure things are okay soon, right?

[She nodded, feeling slightly guilty that they couldn't devote the entire evening to just the two of them...but also thankful he understood why.]

I'm the one in charge. That means it's my responsibility to make sure everything's alright for everybody.

...and I should probably return to the photo booth area soon.

Just make sure that you do take time away as well from time to time and I won't have to keep bothering you about it, okay?

[He knew that he would probably check on her often when not doing other things because he worried she would do something like that.]

["Bother" was a subjective term. Although she wouldn't put it past him to deliberately make a nuisance of himself if she provoked him. That much certainly hadn't changed one bit.]

I promise.

[He smiled slightly.]

Good. I think I'm going to grab something to eat before I leave you to it, so would you like something?

[She shook her head.]

I'm fine for now. But thank you.

You go enjoy. The sandwiches, in particular, are really good. They baked the bread fresh early this morning, if you can believe it. [Given the sheer amount that had been ordered.] There's a hint of I think it's cinnamon in the butter, too.

I can't believe. But yet I can since bakers usually have to be up early in the morning to bake in the first place.

[That's an odd thing into the butter, but now he was admittedly curious to try with the bread. He soon went and gave her a quick peck on the cheek.]

I will enjoy because you put it all together. You best enjoy what you love to do, okay and I will see you later.
