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~

( ren will brave the heart soup, taking a bowl to scoop some in and also a plate for apples, meat, and pastries...he might be hungrier then he realized. maybe all the dancing and socializing - his company is usually kept to a cat who does most of the talking. )

Your friends? ( maybe the friend she came to check on? he offers her one of the pastries, something soft and white-dusted with red filling. ) Do your parents get on your case over a habit like that, back home?

[She nodded slightly as she took a bit, looking up slightly.]

Yeah, back home when I was at Hope's Peak. Since we stayed at the school they had to make sure I actually looked after myself sometimes. Thankfully not too often as I had a job of being the class representative, so I usually did pretty well with making sure I was okay and could organize something.

[She had smiled for a moment before it was quick to falter. It was once again a thought that was crossing her mind with what she knew back home.]

Not really. I mostly gamed when they were working anyway.

( ren sets down everything he's gotten in between them, so chiaki can know she's free to pick from his plates if she'd like to. he starts with his apples, but he's listening attentively. )

Ah, you were class rep? That's a big responsibility. ( really, he's a little surprised. not because he thought poorly of her, but there is this stereotype that only lazy or closed off people play games as much as chiaki seems to. he smiles curiously. ) You must have been popular.

( if they trusted her with a job like that. his second thought is that her parents must have been proud, but it's dashed when she reveals they worked enough that she had to fill in the time with her gaming. ren's smile slips, the apple he'd been about to bite lowering a little as he looks at her. )

So they weren't around much, huh? ( pause. ) My situation was a little like that too, but backwards.

[She nodded slightly. She was quite happy with being a class rep really.]

It is, but everyone agreed to it since I always kept the class together by having bonding activities that I set up either by me deciding it, or any suggestions I might of have been given.

[She was looking around to see what to eat next when she finished what she currently has. At the moment she was going rather slowly with it due to talking.]

Backwards... In what way? But... [She nodded slightly, but she at least understood.] Yeah, but they did it for a reason.

Putting it like that, it sounds like you were kinda the glue that held everything together, haha. ( that's cute. she's sweet. ) Considering how you came here for your friend, I can definitely see that.

( he's smiling, but when the conversation turns back to parents, it's more somber. it's not his intention to drag the mood down or turn this into some sort of pity party, but it just seemed natural to express that he can relate to absent parents. )

Mm. I was the one always gone, rather than my parents, so I didn't see them much. It seemed to be the best way to keep things...okay? Between us.

( they didn't want me around, basically. but he doesn't say it so bitterly, more like it was just the way things were, and he adjusted. he is interested to hear why chiaki feels hers had a reason for leaving her to herself like that. )

Was it a good reason?

[Chiaki paused, she had her reasons for going quiet but it was mostly to think certain things over more than anything. Though she didn't know what the words he said were pretty spot on and was the reason she no longer could go home.]

It's mostly because my friend usually doesn't do things like go to parties. So this was more out of being curious more than anything.

[She smiled slightly, if only for a brief moment.]

It was a working reason, I suppose.

Was he glad that you were curious enough to come?

( lighter now, he finishes his apples and pulls the soup over. he wonders if he knows her friend? probably not, since he hasn't met that many people outside of his own group, but he's still curious. )

I see... ( working parents - ann had a problem like that too, and both girls seem to have found their own way to deal with it. ren props his chin in his hand and offers her a little smile. ) You know, I still don't know all that much about this place, but I hope that while you're here you don't have so much time to play games as you did back home.

( translation: nothing against her gaming, but he hopes she has so many people that want to spend time with her that she won't have as much to spend on games. )

He still doesn't know I am even here really? That's the way I planned it.

[She wasn't trying to be sneaky all that much considering she was wandering around in the open. She just didn't want to be a bother and get in the way of him making friends with her always lingering to check on him or something.

She paused for a moment, while you're here. In all honesty, Chiaki was hoping to never vanish. After all she knew she had nothing to go back to really.]

Considering I game as a job, doubt I spend less time. But I do try and do new things when I am able to.

Ah ( ren ducks his head a little and tucks his smile into his shoulder, as if he's hiding ) so it's a stealth mission.

( kidding. he assumes she just didn't want to come off as overbearing or something, which makes sense. he could probably take a lesson or two from her, considering how incapable he is not not sticking his face in people's business.

when he straightens, it's with surprise on his face. he blinks at her. )

You game as a job? ( ...actually, that probably shouldn't surprise him ) What is it that you do, exactly?

Yes. Like if I get caught its game over type stealth.

[She just wanted to play along. It was fun. But she was soon finishing off what she currently had as food.]

If a store or a big company throw a gaming tournament I would potentially be one of the people they would invite to compete for the prize. I can also be asked to join teams for group competitions.

( ren has paused in his eating to make an impressed "o" face at her. he leans in with a little more excitement than he usually shows. )

That's really amazing, Nanami! You took your passion and were able to build your career around it. I think some people go their whole lives without figuring out how to do that.

( HE'S SO IMPRESSED. class representative, professional gamer - chiaki is so cool? )

Back in Tokyo, there are all kinds of competitions for e-sports teams - just like athletes. Are you part of something like that?

I was pretty much limited to my talent, so I had no choice than to make do. It's people who don't have a defined talent... [She gave a small sad smile. It just makes her think of a friend.] They have a much bigger choice in what they can do.

I think that's amazing to have such a wider choice. [She paused for a moment.]

That is what I am a part of, yes. I can be apart of E-Sports teams.

GENESSIA PROM!
