Oh my gosh, a ball!? That's so cool! I can't wait to go! Tear, Lloyd, everyone, you're all going, right? Erk, you too!

I'm going to need to go shopping for a nice dress, and I'd better start looking for shoes, and... Ooh, this is going to be so much fun!

What? Why do I get singled out?

[extreme_stars]

Because I know you. If we leave you alone you won't come and you'll just sit in your room and read all night and, and... Well, that's no fun!

[frumpyface]

Believe or not, I was planning on going.

[extreme_stars]

Yay! Make sure to dress nice, okay?

[frumpyface]

Of course.

This is your first ball here, right?

[extreme_stars]

Uh huh! Have they done this before?

[frumpyface]

I think I've been to two myself. Possibly three.

[extreme_stars]

What... What are they like?

[frumpyface]

Just... like... any ball? Admittedly, this is the first one I've seen that advertised memories or items, so this may be something completely new.

[extreme_stars]

Yay~!

[frumpyface]

...I didn't even say anything worthwhile and you're still cheering.

[extreme_stars]

"Just like any ball" means it's exactly how I've been imagining it. And that means it's going to be really fun! Cheer up, Erk.

[frumpyface]

If you say so.

[extreme_stars]

I do.

[frumpyface]

[Erk is really good at long, awkward pauses. Here, have a taste!]

Ah, milady... er, would you care to come with me to the ball?

[extreme_stars]

O-Oh! Um, Erk... I'm so sorry, but I've already agreed to go with someone else. I'm sure I'll see you there, though.
