Valentine's Dance, Town Hall, Saturday Evening

[myownface]

It was Valentine's Day, and love was in the air! Or pollen. Love pollen? Something like that, anyway. It wasn't like the holiday cared any, after all. Not when there was a dance to be had. And this year's dance had just the thing to take everybody's mind off of that pesky pollen!

That's right, dancing. Which, to the uninitiated, might seem a bit

Arrival/Mingling [VD 2015]

Glowsticks and glitter are complimentary at the door!

There is so, so much glitter.

Take the glitter.

It had occurred to Cassandra she should have purchased appropriate clothing for this, but 1) she was beginning to run low on funds; 2) she had no idea what was considered appropriate garb for a social gathering here and, most importantly 3) she loathed shopping, especially when it meant wasting time on finding something she would never wear again.

So, yes, she was there in the coat, eggplant sweater and jeans that she had purchased at the clothing shop in town. Her only concession to the event was that she was not simply wearing a t-shirt instead of said sweater.

She did not look happy with... anything, honestly.

So, Sparkle hated everything about today and then some, but that wasn't going to stop him from showing up here. Possibly because he hated sanity. Possibly because, so help him, he put a lot of time into setting up for this dance, and he'd donated plenty of glitter to the cause. He didn't dress up or do anything special for this one, because that seemed like more effort than this thing was probably worth, but he did throw on a leather jacket because... layers? Layers seemed like they would be somehow useful. Probably.

If nothing else, if he decided it was getting hot in here, he could blame it on his coat.

"One of these days, I'm going to find out who on the board sanctioned giving you people the entire galaxy's supply of glitter, and I'm gonna have a long talk with them."

Atton had a glass of sadly nonalcoholic punch, a former whatever-they-almost-were wandering around the floor in a skimpy red dress, and a raging headache. Bitching at Sparkle was the only sane distraction he had, tonight.

Photo Booth! [VD 2015]

[myownface]

Complete with an array of perfectly romantic and absolutely school-function appropriate backdrops!

Punch & Food! [VD 2015]

[myownface]

The array of foods today is vast and varied! Oysters, asparagus, dark chocolate, cherries, hot dogs, whipped cream, fish tacos, bananas, almonds...

At least the punch probably hasn't been spiked yet?

There was something strange in the air and it'd been bitterly cold for the past few days. Of course Edward was here, stuffing his face and hoping someone would spike the punch sooner rather than later.

Travis made a beeline for the drinks and found something cold to sip. It didn't help but it did give him a slight distraction.

Slight.

"I'd almost be happy goin' back to the cold from two days ago, but I think I'd be lying," Edward shared to the closest person at hand.

Which happened to be Travis. Hello, Travis!

Dance Floor! [VD 2015]

[myownface]

Where the DJ is playing an assortment of music meant to be danced slow and close to.

Or slow and closer to.

So. Dancing immediately seemed like both the best and the worst idea as soon as Sia and Four got there and she realized just how close they were going to have to be for this. She's not blushing, you're blushing.

Re: Dance Floor! [VD 2015]

[dauntless_four]

Four definitely wasn't blushing.

Much.

But he was far too close to Sia for anyone who wasn't her to notice.

Re: Dance Floor! [VD 2015]

[notconflicted]

"So this could be a lot worse," Sia said after a moment, mostly because if she didn't talk she was going to start listening to the music and it was already hard enough to keep her hands still.

Shadowy Corners! [VD 2015]

[myownface]

They're... relatively shadowy, given the light show and all. They're more shadowy than the rest. They are well-lit enough that if you get any ideas, the chaperones will probably be able to catch you, though, so it's probably still a good idea to take anything beyond kissing to a dorm or hotel room.

Re: Shadowy Corners! [VD 2015]

Cassandra did not wish to dance, and she was not hungry, and her mind kept skipping irritatingly to shallow affairs, so. This was where she was. In the corner. Wondering why she had ever thought it was a good idea to come here in the first place.

Having avoided dancing and having picked up a drink along the way, Ronan was now standing in the shadows. He sipped his drink occasionally and shifted every once in awhile because this stupid feeling still had not gone away.

It couldn't be helped that he was looking at people differently now, eyes stopping on certain people before he kicked himself and moved on. But, then the whole process would start again and again and yeah.

Re: Shadowy Corners! [VD 2015]

[flickofawrist]

The dark corners seemed appropriate for today. Flick shrank back into them, eyes mostly on the ground and the walls because he really didn't want to look at other people right now.

It'd just make the itch worse.
