genessia | 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~

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

"I've never been to a prom, of any sort." Belle admitted in a soft voice. "They don't have things like this where I'm from." She didn't know the full implications behind prom or why it might be seen as a big deal or not. She wondered if the reason that he didn't want to go was simply something she didn't understand.

He's here now and she...

Belle bit her lower lip. "I saw you dance with someone." Which meant that he knew how to dance but maybe he didn't want to dance with her? Belle was so confused and she didn't know what to think.

All she knew for sure was that it hurt.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking." Prompto tried a little, desperately hoping for her to understand and maybe forgive him.

"They asked. I was being polite!" He protested with a flush.

"I just..." Prompto shook his head. He felt back and he didn't know what to do with that. He was beginning to feel a little overwhelmed.

She didn't want him to be sorry. Belle wanted to tell him how she felt, to dance with him, but it felt like the moment she craved was unattainable. She looked down at her hands and was silent for several minutes, unsure what else to say.

She felt tears gather at the corner of her eyes but fought to keep them from falling.

"I'm sorry Prompto."

"N-No you don't have to apologize I just didn't know and I..yeah, I probably should've thought of it."

Prompto fidgeted nervously. "I um, now what?"

He really didn't know what to do in this situation.

"I'm not sure." Belle admits with equal uncertainty. "I've never... been in this situation before." She looked back at the doors they had just walked through. The dance was audible but it felt out of reach.

"I suppose we should return to the dance at some point." Her tone was soft but she didn't sound happy about returning to the dance. It has somehow lost its glamour.

She wished she knew what they were supposed to do and how on earth she was going to handle the aching pain she felt in her chest.

"Okay." Prompto answered. He hadn't been in that position before either, he didn't know how to fix it, but he was definitely sure he was taking full blame for whatever happened.

"I'm sorry. Please have fun." He glanced away, moving so she could leave.

Belle didn't move. "I'd have more fun with you." Her voice was very soft and timid, rather unlike the opinionated young woman who Prompto had known before now. He had thrown her off and she wasn't sure of herself anymore.

"Only if you want."

"I do, uh, if you don't mind me taking more pictures? But we can dance in between, I really am here to do some work so I guess...he'd expect me to do something."

"Yes, of course." Belle wasn't exactly happy about it but if she got a little bit of time with Prompto. Then that was okay... wasn't it.

She followed behind him, stepping closer as they neared the hall and slipping her hand into his. "Can I at least have one dance?"

Prompto gave her a gentle smile. "Of course you can."
