Characters: Everyone!
Location: By the Park swimming pool
Rating: G to PG (any higher rating, please make a private log)
Time: 20th June (FORWARDED DATE)
Notes: Go ahead and add links as you please under the main threads. If there is anything you need or I forgot, contact me and I will add!

Tonight, the park is full of life. Lights show the way towards the swimming pool, where you can find large white tents set up, all connected to each other. Music, loud chatter and laugher come from them, and inside you may find Guests and Natives enjoying the night together, a rare sight after recent events happening in the City. But tonight, all of that is to be forgotten. Maybe.

Welcome to the Summer Gala.

Feel free to leave your coat by the Coat room, listening to music (some songs are even played by Guests such as Karina, Shinji, Nanami, Hamel and John), dance together (don’t forget the Partner’s dance!), enjoy good food and good drinks, and perhaps after take a stroll by the swimming pool and the park.

But please, don’t forget to thank your hosts, Keroro’s and Eve’s Metokkori R and Hikan Café, and thank Cupid, Lily’s Yesterday's Magic, Hyoubu’s World’s End, Condesce’s Betty Crocker Bakery and the Watch for all their help. And if there is any disaster with your clothing and hair tonight, look for Kanaya and she will give you a hand!

[Despite having had to stop by Psiioniic’s hive to give him a hand with his collar-- which she was already counting on happening, eventually, when she designed that outfit for him; her friend is simply not familiar with certain kinds of clothes-- the two of them arrive to the gala on time, and Dolorosa encourages the other troll to try and mingle with others, and try to find any of his friends here. Of course, she knows that not everyone will be a pleasant sight to behold, which is why she is planning on keeping a close eye on her friend and whoever approaches him.

She’s failed at protecting her family far too many times by now.

Needless to say, Dolorosa is quite proud of the dress she made for the occasion, as well as the shoes that she picked to match it. While she chose not to add her sign to this particular dress, the ♍ is present on the silver pendant in her necklace, which in turn matches her earrings and her shoes perfectly.

Now, would it be too rude to stare for longer than what is strictly necessary at the dresses and suits of her fellow guests? She would love to take a closer look at some of these designs…]

[Keroro's just wearing a normal tuxedo and a huge top hat with a blue sash and yellow star. Nothing too interesting about it, beside the fact that someone had been convinced to make clothes for a two-foot tall alien with a body like a pear.

He does greet the Dolorosa though, despite not knowing her. He was the host, after all. (Well, actually this was all Condesce's idea, but shhh.)]

Welcome, de arimasu. Are you having fun, de arimasu?

[Two-foot tall alien with a pear shaped body or not, Dolorosa thinks everyone should wear a nice, fashionable outfit tonight, and she's quite pleased to see that even Keroro is well dressed.

When he greets her, she crouches down to take a better look at him, a motion that is surprisingly fluid and elegant for someone wearing such thin heels. But Keroro is tiny and she's quite tall, even by troll standards, so it would be just rude to stare down at him while standing up.]

Thank you, sir, [She says in a polite voice, extending a perfectly manicured hand as a way of greeting. It was an Earth custom to shake hands, was it not?] I have only just arrived, but I can already tell I will enjoy my time here.

[Keroro takes her hand with a small bow. He knew the custom as well, although he'd always thought it was more of an American thing than a Japanese thing. Still, he gives her hand a little shake.]

You're very welcome, and I'm glad to hear that, de arimasu.

[She shakes his hand in return before letting it go, and gives a little nod of her head.]

This event seems remarkably well planned, [She says almost distractedly, a nice dress catching her eye for a second there. Just don't let her know about the Condesce, Keroro.] If you don't mind me asking, there is something I am quite curious about: did you make your own clothes, or is there a boutique in Death City that provides garments fitted for all shapes and sizes?

Thank you very much, de arimasu. [He had help. From Condesce.]

I order them from the internet, de arimasu. Ah, but Kanji-dono is really good at making things, de arimasu.

[All her disapproval. All of it.]

I see. [Well, that was an easy way to get it. Dolorosa is still rather old fashioned, preferring to touch and examine garments closely before buying them.] Kanji...? His name sounds familiar, but I don't think I know him.

[The problem is that Keroro doesn't normally wear clothes, so he still finds it difficult to understand the draw of selecting clothes off a rack and examining them before buying.]

He's the guy that looks kind of scary and has blond hair, de arimasu. He works at Yesterday's Magic.

_{[She will undoubtedly like Karkat's outfit. When he found out he'd have to attend the gala as a member of the Watch, he went to Kanaya for help finding an outfit, and though he doesn't regret that decision, he's wearing a lot more red than he probably would have otherwise. He feels awkward and out of place being so dressed up. Hell, normally he doesn't even bother brushing his hair.

But once Kanaya found this suit, he knew he was going to end up wearing it. He's already here, and Kanaya worked hard to get him to look presentable, so he might as well try not to be awkward about it. Maybe if he just...runs his fingers through his hair, just a little, so he can feel just a little less formal....]}

[Dolorosa doesn't just like Karkat's outfit: she loves it, and she blinks in obvious surprise when she sees him walking in her direction. She isn't surprised that he's here, just at what he's wearing, but she knows that Kanaya had a hand in it, and it went without saying that she'd find a perfect suit for the troll.

Karkat looks as uncomfortable as Psii did when Dolorosa worked on his collar earlier, and she bites her lower lip to keep from chuckling at the awkwardness that radiates off of him, not wanting to embarrass him in any way.]

Good evening, Karkat, [She greets him with a warm smile.] You look very handsome.

_{[He's just about to mess with his hair a little, and in fact, he has his hands in his hair already when Dolorosa greets him, but they snap to his sides once she engages him in conversation. God dammit. He only hopes he hasn't messed up his hair too badly.]} Oh. Thanks. Kanaya helped me find the suit. _{[Obviously. God knows what kind of monstrosity of a suit he would have shown up in if he hadn't asked her to help. He's certain he would have found the least fashionable suit on the planet. He's also sure he wouldn't have picked anything this flashy, and there was no way it would have been anything other than gray, or black. Red would not have been involved.

He can tell she's surprised, and he can see why. It took quite a lot of convincing on Kanaya's end before he even tried the suit on, let alone bought it.]} Kanaya's wearing red too. Not her whole outfit, but, a bit. Since we're here together. And I didn't want her wearing that color red if I wasn't going to too. I mean, she wears red just fine by herself and everything, and I've never said anything before because she can wear whatever the fuck she feels like, but this time she's doing it to wear my color, not just because she felt like wearing red.

_{[He blurts it out his reasoning mostly because he needed to tell someone, and Dolorosa's Kanaya's ancestor and Signless' lusus. She'd probably understand the best out of anyone. It's stupid, really stupid, his reasoning, especially because this isn't Alternia, and the only troll here who would give a shit about Kanaya wearing his mutant color is the Empress, and she doesn't have any power to touch Kanaya here. Still, he couldn't help being worried.]}
