Valentines Dance, Town Hall, Saturday Evening

Feb 11, 2012 06:34

The town hall had been transformed into a ballroom fit for a queen (and/or king. Or multiples thereof). The ceiling was resplendent in ribbons of royal purple, gold and white, and castle murals adorned the walls.

As they entered, tonight's guests were offered their choice of crown or tiara. Over by the photographer who doesn't have a thread ( Read more... )

Shadowy Corners [V-Day 2012] godgavemecable February 11 2012, 13:38:41 UTC

For escaping the dancing. Good luck escaping the glitter, though.

Cara very quickly retreated to the nearest shadowy corner, where she could watch and lean.

...and every so often, sneeze.

Stupid flowers.

Grand entrances were not Kate's thing. It was a miracle she was here at all.

What it came down to was simply that cooping herself up in her room with this much energy would probably end badly. She'd tried hitting things. That didn't work. She'd tried running. That hadn't worked either. She'd tried cold showers.... There was a pattern developing.

What she hadn't tried was putting on a dress and spending her evening in a glitter filled room. She was well aware that 'pretty' wasn't part of her charm, but she could pull of 'exotic' at times. The effect of aforementioned dress was somewhat ruined by her posture, leaning arms firmly folded, against a wall, while she pondered dousing herself with her own drink to snap out of this.

"Well, I'm impressed," Toby noted as he wandered over. "You clean up nice."

Re: Shadowy Corners [V-Day 2012] withasword February 11 2012, 17:48:58 UTC

"I'd have been more comfortable if I'd stuck with dirty," Kate told him, twitching her shoulders in a tight shrug. Dresses weren't exactly natural territory for her.

"Being covered in glitter doesn't qualify." It seemed like the stuff was magnetic.

Re: Shadowy Corners [V-Day 2012] godgavemecable February 11 2012, 18:07:56 UTC

"I'm pretty sure the more uncomfortable you are, the more fashionable it's supposed to be," Toby offered. At least, that's the way it seemed from his perspective.

Re: Shadowy Corners [V-Day 2012] withasword February 11 2012, 19:51:28 UTC

"And so we find out why I'm not made to be fashionable." There were certain things Kate needed out of an outfit, and generally if it was fashionable, it wasn't good for kicking people in.

"You enjoying playing dress-up for the night?"

Re: Shadowy Corners [V-Day 2012] godgavemecable February 11 2012, 21:07:05 UTC

"It's... different?" Toby offered. "I've never actually worn a tux before." Which was probably evident in the way he kept fidgeting with his sleeves, his tie, the hem of his dress shirt...

Re: Shadowy Corners [V-Day 2012] withasword February 11 2012, 22:40:43 UTC

"I haven't worn a nice dress in a really long time," Kate admitted. "And a tiara in never." Today felt very much like she was playing princess as a really small kid.

"You know as a politician you should really get used to the monkey suit," she reminded him. It was the way these things went.

Re: Shadowy Corners [V-Day 2012] godgavemecable February 12 2012, 01:29:05 UTC

"Can't say crowns are part of my usual accessories either," Toby admitted. "What, you don't think I can manage secondary school policy in jeans and a t-shirt?" Freshman rep was... not exactly a position that carried with it a lot of power.

Re: Shadowy Corners [V-Day 2012] withasword February 12 2012, 01:32:34 UTC

"Jeans, a t-shirt and a crown. That could be your new ensemble." Kate grinned. "At least your voters would be able to pick you out of a crowd nice and easy?"

Re: Shadowy Corners [V-Day 2012] godgavemecable February 12 2012, 02:22:01 UTC

"I'm a man of the people, Kate," Toby said solemnly, reaching up to adjust said crown. "I feel my attire should reflect that."

Re: Shadowy Corners [V-Day 2012] withasword February 12 2012, 02:32:00 UTC

Kate snickered, fanning herself idly with one hand. "Some of the 'people' around here are probably royalty," she noted.

"So is there someone around you're planning on showering with heart shaped things and candy?" That was the theme of the holiday, after all.

Re: Shadowy Corners [V-Day 2012] godgavemecable February 12 2012, 03:09:26 UTC

Toby snickered. "I don't know if Kenzi's in to the fluffy stuff, but candy? Definitely."

Re: Shadowy Corners [V-Day 2012] withasword February 12 2012, 13:00:10 UTC

"... I can imagine that." Though Kenzi on sugar was a terrifying thought in itself. "I'm surprised she's not bouncing off the walls already." It was what Kate imagined for a natural state.

Loki kept to a nice, shadowy little spot to observe the dance as it went on. If nothing else, it would give him a chance to see how it worked here.

Also, it allowed him to ignore the odd extra energy he seemed to have in the past day.
