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

And float she did. he was so tall compared to her it was kind of required. She spun easily though, laughing a bit.

"There's lots of tasty things to eat. But I'm here because its a party and Miss Roses brougt me and also sis is here and that surprised me but she's on a date with Miss Bats so its fine!" That was a lot to say in one breath. "But yeah there's a lot of tasty things to eat."

"Why did you come here Mister Fins? I bet its a very interesting reason."

Cuz I ain't done near 'nuff dancin' with pretty ladies since I got here!

[Namur waggles his brows at her as he leads her into a two handed spin. When it ends, he has his arm wrapped around her waist, holding her under his arm like a sack of grain. He leans in conspiratorially, pointing out Rip as she dances with Augustine.]

An' I needed t' see that'n wearin' that dress. The one in blue with the glitter heels an' the full shoulder necklace dancin' with Extra Velvet over there. My girl Rip followed me out from 'nother world', ain't that a thing, eh? Sheheheh!

[He spins Koishi again, letting her essentially unwind from his grip.]

Koishi loved all of the spinning. And it was easy to lead her considering she couldn't really trip over her own feet.

"Oh? Why is it special that she's wearing a dress?" Koishi physically could not wear normal pants due to where her arteries connected. "And she followed you? Interesting." Her voice also seemed a bit sharper.

"I didn't know it was possible to willingly follow someone else here. At least I was certainly very confused upon arrival. She let herself unwind, her third eye bobbing next to her, a sliver of white visible. It was slightly open. "Unless that's not what you meant.

Cuz she's usually wearin' these flatass business suits that makes her look like a stick. But that dress...

[He gets a little pink on his cheeks. Glancing back at Koishi wearing her hotass dress really didn't help anything. Damn it.]

Anyway she looks fine as hell in it, 's what I'm divin' at.

[Lord of the Sea, could he be any more awkward?]

Listen, I'unno how much we can actually control it, but all kinds a shit's possible when y' got a Will strong 'nuff t' break physics.

[Namur grins, and leads Koishi into another set of aerial spins.]

Koishi was smiling now. "Ah. Well, now you're blushing. That tells me more than any words." That and she was a bit of an empath too. Even if she couldn't always understand what she was sensing. "Do you just have a thing for pretty dresses?"

Her tone was almost coy. Almost. Was she teasing him? Her smile said yes. And her blind third eye was more steady. And more open.

"Ah. I see. Maybe that's how some people got here. It would certainly make sense since they seemed to follow other people that they knew." Please don't rationalize the game's mechanics, Koishi.

More a thing for the girls in 'em, but the dresses is designed t' show 'em off in the best ways.

Y' don't get nothin' at all outta that kinda shit, huh?

[Namur pulls her up close and slips his hand along her side, slow and sensual, just to see what would happen.]

No chemicals spikin' through yer veins t' makin' y' feel high or nothin'.

[He sounds amazed, like a scientist making an unexpected discovery.]

That cuz 's yer food? Too busy eatin' it t' feel it or what?

The artery over her left shoulder looped itself around into a heart as she was pulled in. She didn't quite seem to understand what he was doing for a moment but quickly decided to just follow his lead. She usually was pulled in for hugs but this was fine too.

"Fair enough I suppose. Attraction to a piece of cloth is unusual... Though not unheard of."

His other question seemed to surprise her though, tilting her head and blinking several times. "Um... No I don't think so. And it takes quite a lot to affect me. Though I suppose I am a little love-drunk from all these positive emotions, that hardly counts." Pause. "Am I making more sense? Is my eye open?" The eye in question drifted forward, Koishi glancing at it. "Oh. I do feel fairly lucid right now. It won't last but it's nice to have my head clear for a bit."

Yeah. 'S nice.

So yer floatyass eye's what determines if y' make any sense or not, huh? There a way t' coax it open when I wanna chat with y'?

"Kind of. My eye is a special organ for mind-reading. It's technically a part of my brain." She paused for a moment to sort of let that sink in.

"It's just not connected to my head anymore. But sometimes everything just lines up. I can force it sometimes but it's really bad for me. Sorry. I usually make sense to myself though. I suppose I have a hard time expressing myself outside of a single moment."

[Namur glances at the eye, a part of her brain, and impulsively reaches out to hold it.]

Damn thing's covered in scars an' shit. What the hell happened?

"Heh. Well my own stupid self is what happened." It didn't flinch away when he reached out, settling in his hand. It was firm but had some give and was likely made of cartilage with some thin rib-like bones running through it.

"After centuries of caustic thoughts and hatred I just kind of wanted it to stop. But I couldn't stand being cooped up like Sis." A pause. "I used a bad seal. Which eventually drove me to do some regretful things with a kitchen knife." The long horizontal scar on the lens... "Though fully disconnecting from it is probably what saved my life in the end. I'm fine now though."

She was leaving some details out, obviously, but it might have been for the best.

Yeah, so fine yer nuts.

[He doesn't say it maliciously, just a statement of fact. Namur gives her eyebrain a gentle squeeze, then slides his finger along the bottom side of the artery, feeling her pulse.]

So'd y' get rid a yer mindreadin' when y' went psycho on yer brain?

"More or less. Except when I'm not. Sometimes everything lines up and just makes sense but, usually, I'm the only one who understands when I'm doing. And as self-aware as I am at times, I often lose track of myself." Her lucidity was leaving her surprisingly well-spoken, though the little squeeze had caused her pitch to waver and the eye to blink lethargically she didn't seem bothered by it.

Her pulse was light and almost fluttery. Perhaps by default considering how calm she looked.

"Yes. I removed the physical connection and damaged the psychic connection. Truth be told, I lost a lot more than my mind reading. Hence why it was such a bad decision." It was odd to think that Koishi was capable of subtle humor.

At some point during the conversation she had closed her left eye. If Namur had ever met Satori he might remember the older sister doing the same. Maybe it had something to do with the artery's connection to the head being on the left side?

"This isn't going to last all that long. I'll probably vanish for awhile once I'm unconscious again. That's usually what happens.

[Words like lose myself and disappear give Namur a little spike of alarm. His immediate reaction is to hell with that! Fight it! But she'd already told him that to do so is unhealthy. So then he looks sad for a moment.]

Seriously? Get one night where y' ain't like some braindead li'l baby an' cuz a that y' gotta disappear for days?

Shit.

[Another moment, and he'll have processed it better, a sly smile creeping across his face.]

Well. Guess if there's shit-all y' can do, then the only thing left for y's t' make the most a the time y' got, eh?

[He grabs her then and tosses her high in the air. Of course, she could stay up there, but hopefully she'll play along and let "gravity" bring her back down, where he's waiting to catch her and drag her into a wide spin across the dance floor.]

Whatcha wanna do most now y' got yer head on a spell?

She made a small surprised sound when she was picked up, her voice raising in volume somewhat as she was tossed. She did seem to hang in the air a moment longer than she should have before she began falling. More slowly than she should have though, laughing the entire time.

"Do I really come off as that childish? I live in the moment, but that doesn't mean I can't understand whats going on around me... Usually. And I've vanished for days before, though it isn't always the case. It just depends." And she smiled bigger. "And thats exactly what I would like to do..." A pause.

"... Though what that actually entails at a party like this is beyond me since I don't usually get to be lucid at them. But I'm sure if everyone is having fun then I'll have fun too."

Jus' takin' in the party vibes, huh?

[He keeps twirling with her, moving his arms up and down with the beat.]

When y' go back do y' still 'member gettin' shit?

She shook her arms once, sleeves readjusting as a single tentacle slid down to wrap around each of his wrists... Which actually made it easier to twirl with her. She had such short little arms compared to him after all.

"Kinda. Depends, usually." She still had one eye closed. "It's warm. Molten in the center. And it can eat through in one spot. Somtimes the whole thing breaks down. And sometimes an edge comes down. It's bad when it glows. But it's not always like that so it's fine."

Another riddle. Though she seemed rather glad so it was probably a positive answer. Probably. It was hard to tell.

[Oh, shit. Namur blinks a couple times, trying to memorize what she just said. His life in the world of Davy Jones taught him that when people go into weird trances and say random shit, it's probably important. Like a spell or a curse or a hint at how to fix the first two.

But hell if he has even the vaguest idea what she's talking about. He needs more information.]

Is... shit glowin' right now?

Koishi blinked once, squeezing his wrists. "Haha. Nooo. It needs to get warm first." Well that might help define the metaphor some.

"Also it depends on a lot of things. But none of that is in our control so its best not to worry too much."

She shifted her shoulders, trying to extend another tentacle but her sleeves just didn't have room for it. Instead, she let go of on of his hands, still holding with the one tentacle as she reached into her pocket. She pulled out a wrapped piece of taffy, offering it to him.

"Here. This is for you. There are lots of worry-ripples so take this and have fun instead tonight, okay?"

[Namur smiles, almost pleadingly. Does he have to eat the dead food? Lord of the Sea, the shit he does for some people...]

Already havin' fun, sweetheart. But, uh. Thanks. I guess...

[He'll just. Swallow the whole thing. Still in its wrapper. The quicker it's gone the quicker he doesn't have to worry about it anymore, right? Right.]

Koishi blinked. "Ah-" but nope! It was gone.

"Nooo! Silly. You're supposed to take the wrapper off first." She reached into her pocket and pulled out another, offering it to him. "How are you supposed to taste it if it still has the wrapper on?"

Her smile was so big.

"Sis makes them for me. So I can have sweets to snack on whenever I want to think of home."

Lord a the Sea, Koishi-

[He spins her really fast in several underarm turns.]

Don't taste shit with my mouth, so the wrapper don't matter. One's 'nuff. Keep it an' have an extra taste a yer home, yeah? C'mon.

The spinning seemed to distract her enough, laughing, her third eye drifting up and back a little from the force of the move. She didn't seem all that upset by him declining. Then again it probably was very difficult to upset her at all...

"Oh? That's a new one. How are you supposed to taste things that you eat then?"

There's holes in my skin that tastes shit! Taste Life an' feelin's an' shit like that.

[Namur drapes his arm around her middle, pulling Koishi up close.]

Give a girl a kiss an' I get a big ol' taste a her face, sheheheheh!

[So that's what he does, taking Koishi's head in his hands and planting a giant lipless shark-kiss on her forehead, complete with an overdramatic mwah! sound effect and everything. Then he lets her go and smacks his mouth, like he's seen humans do when they're considering a thing's flavor.]

Hmmmm, too sweet t' be hangin' 'round with a troublemaker like me.

[He winks.]

Koishi tasted... odd. Not even like flesh and blood really. She "tasted" faintly of bark and dirt and water and the taste of air after rainfall with hints of smoke and stone. Kinda like the mountains.

She blinked in surprise from the kiss, laughing quite a bit and all smiles. "Hehe! I'm not candy! I can't be all that sweet!" She didn't object or struggle though, remaining int he air after he lets her go.

"But tasting with your skin is really unusual. And useful too I bet. That way you can know what things taste like before eating them. I wish I could do something like that!"

She was more excited now, though her eye had drifted nearly closed again, her personality shifting toward the loud excitable girl she normally was.

"What do you taste like though? Do you taste like fish or something else? You should tell me so I don't accidentally take a bite instead."
