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!

Comments

[pishirogane]

[Indeed.]

[Nodding, she really doesn't see Raidou going to events like these often. Considering the time too... Her face darkens when he mentions Kanji and she nods, albeit, much slower this time] He is... I'm looking for him myself actually.

You'll be a pleasant surprise. He was wandering around here, but he may have gone in by now.

[timelessummoner]

[He's mildly amused by the blush... but he'll refrain from teasing her too much.] He will be eager to see you, I'm sure. I hope you don't mind me saying it, but you look quite lovely.

Well, I will find him soon enough. Fortunately he is easy to spot in a crowd.

[pishirogane]

[Nooo senpai...] I don't mind. It's just... new.

He's wearing a black pinstripe suit. You should ask him to a dance...

[timelessummoner]

[Sshhh, he won't make fun of your love life. and if he does, you'll get the chance for payback later]

It suits you. Not that your usual attire doesn't, but trying new things isn't a bad idea. [...This coming from the guy who's not very good at trying new things.]

[He blinks.] Ask him to a dance...? Is that customary?

[pishirogane]

[Good. He wouldn't be spared.]

No, it isn't. [Besides exposing a little more, it has been comfortable]

It is apparently for Meisters and Weapons. It could be viewed as another way to strengthen their bond.

[timelessummoner]

[One of these days Raidou needs to wear something that's not a uniform]

Oh. I thought dancing usually happens between a man and a woman... unless my understanding of the tradition is outdated.

[pishirogane]

[They'll go shopping together.]

And traditionally, it still is. However, things change over time. Where once dancing with someone of the same gender was viewed negatively, it's become more accepted.

[timelessummoner]

[To buy hats?]

I see. Hm... I suppose I could ask him, though I doubt he would agree.

[pishirogane]

[And replace their awesome ones? No.]

No harm in asking still.

[timelessummoner]

[Capes, then? Naoto needs a cool cape.]

Perhaps so.

Well, I should let you go. Tatsumi-san must be looking for you by now.

[pishirogane]

[... Yes, capes.]

[She blinks, but then nods]

Right, I should find him... I'l see you around then, Kuzunoha-san.

[timelessummoner]

Enjoy your evening, Shirogane-san.

[Now to find his partner and figure out how this dancing thing works... Surely it won't be awkward at all.]
