valentine's day dance!

[wrnpcs]

[Night has fallen on Balamb Garden; the halls of Garden are mostly deserted besides the stray student walking about, and even the usual faculty members are missing from their posts around the school. There's a certain festive energy through the air, the source coming from the Ballroom cheerily decorated located on the second floor

[Being a pirate, Marco can look rather mafioso when he wishes to. Now would be one such prime example, whether he meant it that way or not.]

[To Mikuru, the suit looks a little old fashioned, but she saw some around Itsuki's timeplane, and this world seems kind of similar to then. The girls helped her with her outfit: An ivory dress and matching flats, her hair in a bun. Intrigued by this grand looking guy, she approaches him shyly.] You look really nice... [She indicates his outfit.]

[fierybluebird]

[Blinks and grins, nodding his head softly.]

Thank you. Though I'm sure it's but a candle compared to your beauty, eh?

[bunnypassingby]

[Ooh, Mikuru's torn. On one hand, that's always nice to hear. On the other hand...]

Is...is there another dare challenge on?

[She's tried to keep an ear out, but what if she missed a notice again?]

[fierybluebird]

Pardon?

[Pause.]

Oh you thought I -- No, I was serious. [Mumbles.] I must be losing my touch.

[bunnypassingby]

Oh! [Mikuru breaks into a blushing smile, genuinely flattered.] Well, thank you, then! I'm really sorry I didn't believe you; I just had something similar happen last week on a dare...

[fierybluebird]

Ah, I see. Now that's truly a shame, though if they said you're anything less than beautiful, maybe they just got nervous halfway through.

[bunnypassingby]

[She looks away, embarrassed by both her story and his charm.] It...wasn't quite like that. Thanks, though.

[fierybluebird]

Heh. Enjoying the party?

[bunnypassingby]

[This is a much safer topic than Katara's dared love confession, and it shows in her renewed confidence when she nods.] So far, yes. Dressing up made me kind of nervous but I'm having fun now! It's neat seeing everyone out of uniform or casual clothes.

[fierybluebird]

Mm, I suppose so.

[bunnypassingby]

And I like the music... [Really.]

Are you enjoying it?

[fierybluebird]

Yes, relatively.

[Mostly it made him homesick, but he's trying to cope.]

[Matron is wandering around the room once more! And this time she spots Marco and his dashing outfit. She makes her way over and, ever polite, bows her head in a greeting.]

Good evening.

[fierybluebird]

[Nods back.]

Likewise miss.

[witchsuccession]

Kramer. [She smiles warmly.] Edea Kramer.

And you are?
