PROM, PART 2

[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 Stage, Wallflowers and King & Queen ceremony!

---

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. Quinn has music up until 2010, so a large variety of music will get played. 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!

Nooo how dare you.

Well there's always a first time for everything, so.

[afieldofswords]

Hmm? You actually got a date for this place?

['And got stood up by them?' is the unspoken follow up question. That explained the troubled look in her eyes. Archer had an eye for that himself after the long Grail War with Rin.]

...man, if I had known you were going to be here I would've at least brought something for the occasion. [Probably food. Or tea in a handy container.]

Re: WALLFLOWERS

[infourbooks]

The wizarding world is so small, I think they figured we'd be okay just going to school together... I think this is more an American thing anyway.

[afieldofswords]

[Archer stops being subtle about it and is now continually trying to back away from Bazett while pushing her off. Which is...a pretty interesting sight for any onlookers.]

Yes, I'm sure, we can...talk about that later. Just. Get off me. Please.

[She's not letting go, is she.]

[infourbooks]

From what Ilsa said, they're not supposed to be getting drunk. The age for that's really high in America.

[infourbooks]

Everyone seems to. I'm Neville Longbottom, pleased to meet you.

[technologic]

No regrets.

That's true... [She thinks for a moment, before turning to Mika.] Hey, Mika, do you want to dance?

[answerer_sword]

Dance with me first!

[She giggles when one of his hands, due to the way that she is hugging him and he is pushing her, accidentally ends up on her chest.]

Ooooooh...you touched thaaaat....

[wolfishsurvivalist]

You're a horrible person.

[She cocks her head, eying the dance floor before sighing heavily.]

Actually? Yes, yes I do. I'll warn you now though, I am kind of awful at it.

[adventurerextraordinaire]

[Cade chuckles.]

"Oh, come now, Olivier, you went and dressed up so nicely, but you don't want to have any fun?"

((PS: This is how Cade looks tonight. Both clothing and face are fairly accurate to how he'd look as a non cartoon.))

[gandere]

Mm, I was stupid enough to think for a single night it could be normal. [ Rin laughs at that. ] This town only has one purpose and to have hope that things will change is childish. I can only learn from this mistake and move forward, Archer.

Something for the occasion? Don't tell me you would have done something stupid like bring a flower or something of that sort. I'll get annoyed at you for speaking that way.

[thenewnancydrew]

Pleased to meet you, too! [ Finally, a polite boy who isn't a total jerk. What a nice change. ] Are you here with anyone?

[afieldofswords]

[Whatever force he angered for this to happen to him, he really wants to kick it in the teeth right now. He's just going to start kicking now, hoping she's not too drunk to stop feeling light foot jabs around her legs.]

H-hey, that's your own damn fault! Let go of me already!

[afieldofswords]

You of all people should know I'm not that much of a romantic. Or cheap. It'd probably be something more tangible to make the evening bearable enough.

[He avoids commenting on the first part. The man doesn't know whether to preach his old brand of pessimism or try to cheer her up. Either gesture by itself probably wouldn't be appreciated anyways.]

What will you do, now?

[answerer_sword]

[She clicks her tongue, and then releases one of her arms to wag a finger at them.]

Don't worry about it. Hayate said I was cute tonight, so it's not surprising you'd want to have a feel.

[From the way she is looking at him, it is clear that this is her very bad attempt at teasing.]

You can take another feel if you want. I've heard people say that people obsess more over the things they can only get a little taste of. It'll be our secret, okay?

[gandere]

Well, don't worry too much about that. The entire town's supply of alcohol is floating around in the shadows here. Seems I'm not the only one who needs a boost in morale.

As for my plans... hm, probably invest in a better Servant and rebuild my workshop to surpass the one I had back home. We don't know when this town will strike out against it's populace again and I would like to be prepared. I'm also going to try to learn a few skills that aren't related to magic. More defensive maneuvers than anything, but it'd be nice to start a fire by my own hands instead of magic should the time come.

I'd also like to learn how to use a sword. You refused to teach me the first time you were here, so I assume your answer will still be the same. Well, that's fine by me. There are plenty of others here I can learn from. The basics were taught to me for a few weeks by one person, but he's long since then left this place.

[afieldofswords]

What the hell are you taking me for, just get off of me already! Do I look like someone who drools over women like that?!

[So this was what he had been reduced to. Counter Guardian, to Servant, to being molested by a drunk Irish woman in a public area. What he wouldn't give to be able to just knock her out right now. So he improvises.]

I think I saw Lancer! Over there! And he's slacking on his job of protecting Rin! [He just points in the opposite direction, hoping she'll take the bait.]

[drank_the_milk]

I came alone. I never seem to be able to find dates for these things.

[drank_the_milk]

Huh? Oh, hey! No, I'm okay!

[answerer_sword]

...WHAT?

[She releases her hold on him...but grabs his arm with one hand.]

Then we need to find Tohsaka and protect her and hug her and shower her with affection!

1/?

[afieldofswords]

You don't say. [Forever traumatized by drunken Bazett. But he listens to Rin's plans carefully. Well, it seemed reasonable enough. Archer planned to respond to that last one with some careful bait-and-switch if only to ruin her interpretation based on his 'old self'

wait a minute.]

[chalicejoker]

It's not the noise as much as it is the sheer amount of people that bother me...

[And yes, it is her! He smiles, though it's kind of a shy one. Like he's not used to smiling much.]

It's definitely good to be meeting under better circumstances. I'm glad to see you're doing well.

[He nods.]

Back home, when I wasn't fighting monsters, I was a freelance photographer. I figured I'd try getting a bit of work in tonight.

[adventurerextraordinaire]

"Why aren't you dancing, though? It is much more fun to join in than to watch."

[Cade smiles warmly.]

2/?

[afieldofswords]

[Why would she suddenly want to invest in a 'better Servant'? Lancer didn't seem particularly ineffective, and Rin was probably practical enough to let him get his own Master when his status was restored. He was a pain in the ass, but Archer's own appearance shouldn't have warranted it. He wasn't ineffective enough for that if he was so protective of Rin like everyone had said.

And didn't she just imply she got stood up...

Oh. Oh dear god.]

[needsteaplz]

It's nice to meet you, Claudia. I'm Saori.

I have to say, this is the first time I met a witch your age.
