OPEN TO EVERYONE: Summer Gala

[bowdown]

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!

[sayatakagi]

[ This is Saya. Bitching is one of the best things she does.

but at his request, she takes a moment to consider ]

Do you even know how to dance?

[naniwarocky]

[..Sendo knows that all too well. But he didn't think this would be one of the things she would complain about.]

Huh? Yeah, kind of. There was this woman here a long time ago. She gave me dance lessons.

[sayatakagi]

[ she looks at him as if she doesn't believe him.

Until she offers Sendo her hand ]

Fine. But if you step on me, I will kick you.

[naniwarocky]

[It's true! Not like he has a reason to lie about it, as he'd only make himself look like an idiot for doing so. He grabs her hand and starts out toward the floor.]

Just make sure you don't mistakenly move your feet in the way of mine.

[sayatakagi]

[ she also moves, walking besides him. ]

Hey. I'm a very good dancer. Mama taught me well.

[naniwarocky]

You better not just be saying that so if I step on your feet you can put the blame on me. [He moved through the crowd of partners with her to find a good spot.]

[sayatakagi]

As if. I'm amazing. [ Saya let's him lead and once they find a good spot, she puts her arm on Sendo's shoulder as she comes closer to him ]

[naniwarocky]

[Sendo places his hands on her hips and then takes lead as he starts to move with her to the music.]

You know..What are your parents like? I don't think I've ever really asked.

[sayatakagi]

[ Saya follows, but at the question she tenses a bit. Before she smiles very softly. ]

Mama and Papa were amazing.

Mama used to be a highly successful stockbroker on Wall Street. She was a genius and fell in love with papa right away because of his charisma and leadership skills. it was thanks to her that Takagi family's fortune grew.

Papa was the Don of a right-wing political association. [ there is a pause ] We didn't agree in a lot of things. He looked ruthless but he really genuinely cared about the safety and well-being of the citizens he tried so hard to protect.

And they both died so I could live.
