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!

[bantorain]

A girl's got a right to chance her mind, right?

[bantorain]

I do my own thinking, thank you kindly.

[lettertomyfutureself]

Guess that'll make me the first, then.

[lettertomyfutureself]

Hey, do I look pissed? I'm just not that into it, is all.

[thunderace]

Well I hope that doesn't mean you're going to pass up on dancing! Do you have any friends to hit the dance floor with?

[adventurerextraordinaire]

[Cade smiles brightly at that as the two of you turn about to the music.]

"Good to hear it! I like a lady with an open mind!"

[jaws5sonofjaws]

Decent enough.

Lotta great people here, and this thing's been way better than the dances we had at my high school!

I even got a couple of dances. Pretty new to me.

[roadroller]

[Rin tosses him a mic from the corner of the stage and crosses over to be in the middle by him. She has one too, of course. Once they're up, the previous song fades out so that they can sing.]

Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love
A bad name! ♪

[And here comes some guitars! Rin gestures at Black Star, since she gave him the first verse (so she can completely show him up after, of course.) ]

[psychedout]

It's not bad. It's actually kind of fun.

[That's a smile - a real, actual smile - and while Neku's not about to try dipping Rin, he does move to try and twirl her.]

[psychedout]

...whatever. I owe him one, but it doesn't mean I'm here for his entertainment.

NO I'M WORSE. Been a busy week ;_;

[keep_smiling]

I'm Elmer. Are you still new around here, too?

[condescent]

[Beams at him! Are you scared yet, Neku.]

Why Neku, how forward of you! And here I thought you'd never ask.

[bantorain]

Of course that also means I don't buy into your own hype.

[tosurpassgod]

[He catches the mic with ease - and that's about as far as easy as his performance is going to get. Rin's plan is brilliant... but it's meant for somebody with training, or talent, or anything of the like]

[All he's got is passion, and he milks it for all his worth. His facial expressions are animated and his energy is boundless as he works the entire stage, but... nothing makes up for being out of tune]

An angel's smile is what you sell!
You promise me heaven, you put me through hell!
Chains of love got a hold on me!
When passion's a prison you can't break free!

OOOOOOOOH, you're a loaded gun!
OOOOOOOOH, there's nowhere to run,
no one can save me,
the damage is done!

SHOT THROUGH THE HEART
AND YOU'RE TO BLAME!
YOU GIVE LOVE
A BAD NAME!

I PLAY MY PART
AND YOU PLAY YOUR GAME!
YOU GIVE LOVE
A BAD NAME!

[OH YEAH! WHO'S A ROCK STAR!]

[adventurerextraordinaire]

"I don't need you to! Surely, if you spend enough time around me you will be awestruck by what you see!"

1/2

[roadroller]

[oh nooooooo

It's true, this plan wasn't so good after all. Now Rin is pretty sure everyone is going to hate her guts for letting him have a mic with singing like that!

But after the initial double-take, she gets to dancing in the background with a plastered on smile and trying not to cringe too much.

Dear god, let it be over soon, please! She needs her human eardrums!]

[roadroller]

[FINALLY IT'S HER TURN! She comes back downstage with her mic, a lot more professional but still working the whole stage with gusto. Which is extremely necessary, considering who she's sharing it with. Rin's version of the song is rather a bit prettier than usual, but she's doing her best to own it.]

Paint your smile on your lips!
Blood red nails on your fi~ingertips!
A schoolboy's dream, you act so shy
your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye ♫♪

Ohhh~ohh, you're a loaded gun!
Ohhh~oohh, there's no place to run!
No one can save me, the damage is done!!

Shot through the HEART!
And you're to blame!
You give loooove a bad name!

I play my part, and you play your game! ♫♪
You give love, oh!

[Rin posestrikes.

There's a guitar solo here.

The plan was to sing together in the last chorus.

She spends this time mentally steeling her nerves.]

[reconstructs]

It wouldn't be so bad if you had some fun yourself.

[succorer]

For dancing. [ Helping him fit in, really, but whatever. ]

[wolfishsurvivalist]

Wigglers, hmm?

[An eyebrow arches as she considers him for a moment.]

So, you used to be one of the trolls, right? But yes, dancing's always been a very social event for humans. Similar to howling for wolves, though I think you might have possibly called them barkbeasts.

[psychedout]

[Not quite what Neku had meant. And yes, that grin is disturbing.]

...fine. Since I'm obviously not going to get out of this.

[He grudgingly extends a hand.]

[psychedout]

...would asking you to dance get you off my back about it?

[wolfishsurvivalist]

Pretty much.

Really? Music isn't a big thing where you come from? Music is really cathartic for me, so I have a lot of different types I listen to. You could say I kind of have a natural affinity for it, too.

[swordwaitress]

Yes. I used to make them al the time back home, but I don't get to make them as much here. [ Well, if she wasnts to make sure they're eaten, otherwise she could just do an endless amount of them. ]

[thenewnancydrew]

Have you done any dancing tonight?
