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]

I'm sure they will be.

[From now until then, they could take the time to prepare and learn some basic Italian to get around. The advantage of their trip to Sapporo was already knowing Japanese.]

[topgun_textiles]

Awesome!

[He lifted his head. Grinned.]

A'right. Look intense. Music's winding up and we're gonna dance the hell outta this thing!

[pishirogane]

[She smiled under her breath. This trip would be exciting.]

So it is. [She seem bewildered at the thought of dancing in another way] You can keep the lead.

[Outside of a few dances, she never got... freestyle? Was that right? It seemed... foolish.]

[topgun_textiles]

Got it!

[Waltz turned into a little bit of freestyle indeed; His arms repositioned and he spun with her in a very salsa-styled move, but the twirl was slower. When he finished, she was supported by the rear as her feet left the ground and didn't seem to be coming down. ...No, he was content to hold her like this. Widening the stance of his feet, he held out an arm and held there as the song entered its last notes.

...Oh. They'd sort of gotten themselves quite an audience.]

[pishirogane]

[With Kanji at the led, she could follow and do her best to flow. Up, she blushed darkly at the way he held her, her hands pressing against his shoulders. She gazed down at him, leaning him nearly to kiss him... but she unfortunately noticed they were being watched.]

[topgun_textiles]

[He won't lie, it's kind of a big thrill: Just being out with her and not because some monster was looking to chew off their faces was something they didn't do often, though he wanted to make a point of changing that. It was enough that, despite being in public, he seemed receptive to her gesture. She was moving in, and in the next moment he was leaning in too.

But then there's that mutual spacial awareness kicking in, and after a glance out into the crowds he cleared his throat quietly, setting her down.]

Uh- h-heh... 'nother dance?

[pishirogane]

[She kept her back towards the audience while her head was low and her face burning as she stared down at his feet.]

Sure... though, perhaps we should allow the crowd to dissipate somewhat. [Or at least turn their attention elsewhere.]

[topgun_textiles]

S-sure. Let's go grab a drink and camp out a little bit. They'll get bored and make room sooner or later.

[pishirogane]

Y-Yes... this way then.

[She grabbed his hand and ducked somewhat, turning to lead him off the dance floor.]
