PROM, PART 1

[technohippie]

Who: Everyone!
What: Mayfield Prom
Where: Rec Center
When: May 18 starting at 7:00PM
Warnings: ...Mayfield Prom.


The log will be split into two entries to keep the size manageable. In this thread is the Dance Floor, Food & Drinks Table, and Outside/Around the Rec Center!

---

Because he can't stop himself from making a movie reference, the theme of this year's Prom is "Enchantment Under the Sea". (Don't get too freaked out, Marty McFly.) Equipment has been moved out, seating has been set near tables and walls, and a makeshift stage has been constructed to host the DJing equipment. There's plenty of food and drinks - including spiked, and very-much-not-spiked punch (magically protected, thanks to Ilsa). In a corner is a small set up for people who wish to get their photos taken by Tsukasa.

The party is under way - have yourselves a good time, Mayfield!

herps all the derps SORRY I SUCK Q_Q

[After dancing with two princesses, successfully trolling one shotapire, and chaperoning a number of attendants, one could say Ciel's earned a breather. The reason why she stepped outside for a bit to get some fresh evening air, when a smidgeon of familiar blonde catches her eye from a tree nearby.

...

Well he's trying, but...

Breaking out of her eased stance, she begins to saunter towards him. Ignore the fact that she's decked out in a sharp suit with a pair of sunglasses clipped on the breast pocket, she's still frowning lightly in surprise and confusion.]

...Cain?

yes it sucks so much someone i adore playing with backtags with me. MY LIFE IS SUFFERING!!

[kinship]

[Of all the people Cain didn't want to catch him up the tree, there were several that topped the list. Abel was obviously in at pole position, closely followed by Aurora, but Charles and Ciel were definitely way up there.

He leans down from his branch, giving her a winning smile as though this were a perfectly normal occurrence and she had no reason to be suspicious.]

Good evening, Miss Ciel, you're looking lovely this evening.

HOW WILL YOU EVER RECOVER..... /despairs!!!

[ex_seventh238]

[we had a talk about stealth once didn't we young padawan... thou art not readeh...

...

sure, Cain. Suuuuuuuuuure.]

Ah, thank you, but-- What are you doing by yourself, out here like this?

[no seriously if you wanted to stalk your brother you should've told him the prom looked fun and you wanted to go see what the big fuss is about. Don't need a date, just chill. Then you can be as creepy as you like do whatever you want and it would look far less suspect. There IS such a thing as hiding in plain sight!]

i just... i just don't know... /collapses in a puddle of tears

[kinship]

[The thing is, Abel didn't tell him that he had a date and Cain didn't want to let on that he knew. So he couldn't go, that would be too obvious.

He has to stalk from the shadows like all incredibly healthily attached siblings do.]

I'm just watching the dancers, some of them are quite good!

it's all my fault... /wrist

[ex_seventh238]

[you're a sneaky little liar you can do it...

and OF COURSE of course how else would it be...

So at that Cain gets the most convinced look ever from Ciel

by which I mean she couldn't look more skeptic if she tried (okay maybe she can but she won't overdo it, no need to go overboard on Cain after all)]

...But you could easily come inside for that, Cain. [no what are you really up to...]

/shakes head slowly

[kinship]

[He just laughs as though she's said something silly, shaking his head and settling himself more comfortably on his branch. Clearly the best thing to do in this situation is to brazen it out.]

I couldn't do that, someone might ask me to dance.

/)__(\

[ex_seventh238]

[...Ah, there's the little troll Cain that everyone must love!

Her expression softens at that.]

You're not afraid of catching cooties now, are you?

[kinship]

[The expression he directs her way couldn't be more baffled, it's obvious he has no idea what she's talking about.]

Is that a common affliction at dances?

[ex_seventh238]

[She chuckles.]

Not at all. Do you really not know what that is, or are you playing dumb? [be honest here for once... :T!]

[kinship]

[He doesn't like admitting ignorance, but he doesn't really have a choice.]

I've never heard of it before, perhaps they came up with a cure and vaccine before my time?

[ex_seventh238]

[Aaah.

She'll explain with her usual chipper self, then.]

I was teasing you with that, actually. Cooties is a make-believe contagious disease that young children have made up. It's said that if you touch someone of opposite gender, you'll catch it. Girls do tend to play with girls and boys also tend to play with boys, after all. [a nicer way of saying gender split in kids, yes...]

[kinship]

[Ah. He's all the more irritated for not having known now, as that just highlights his lack of normal childhood experiences. Damn you, Ciel!]

But why? The sex of your playmates is no guarantee as to their personality or compatibility with you as a friend.

[ex_seventh238]

That's precisely what a mature person would realize, yes. Children from 4 to 12 are still preoccupied with the small and silly details, so it's a big deal for them, haha. At least you're immune, isn't that right? [She smiles back with amusement, and... yep, don't think she hasn't just filed that away, Cain, even if she does already know that you were far from being raised as a normal child.]

[kinship]

[BACKTRACK! BACKTRACK RIGHT NOW!!!]

Of course, you could just be agreeing with me to lure me into a false sense of security. Then when my guard is down, you're infect me with cooties.

[ex_seventh238]

[no the only way is forward!!] If that was really my heinous scheme, wouldn't I have already succeeded months ago? Bringing it up now would be rather pointless, don't you think?

[kinship]

Perhaps cooties are only transferred in a dance setting...

[Silliness will make her forget that he's lurking like a creeper, right?]

[ex_seventh238]

Adults are immune anyway. If I stay close to you, you should be okay, so why don't you come in instead?

[He gets a gold star for trying, at least!]

[kinship]

No, I really can't.

[Nope, not moving from his branch ever.]

People might still try to get me to dance.

[ex_seventh238]

But you just want to watch?

[is she getting this straight?]

[kinship]

Right, I've got two left feet and I don't want to embarrass myself.

[Actually, he's never attempted to dance before, but that's beside the point.]

[ex_seventh238]

I don't think you have to worry about that if Father is here too, Cain. There's miss Esther, also. [a beat.] Do they know that you're here?

[kinship]

Of course, though I think they're a bit silly for opening themselves up to ridicule by dancing.

[He would probably do the chicken dance. And love it.]

[ex_seventh238]

Miss Esther is quite good at dancing, actually. I haven't seen Father yet, and while she did confirm that he's attending, I don't see him doing too well on the dance floor either. [She'll smile at that, but onto more serious matters.] How long have you been out here? I'm sure that they'll start getting worried, if you stay out for too long.

[kinship]

Not long, they won't have missed me by now, trust me.

[Which is true, they can't have missed someone that they were never expecting to attend the prom, right?]

[ex_seventh238]

[She'll give a small nod.]


Just out for some fresh air, then?
