Valentine's Dance 2016, Town Hall, Friday Evening

Feb 13, 2016 00:01

It was the Valentine's Dance and while, unlike some previous years, pollen wasn't in the air (yet), glitter certainly was. Gallon and gallons of it ( Read more... )

Arrival/Mingling [VD 2016] goodforsix February 12 2016, 13:04:51 UTC

Completing the nautical theme, the entrance was made to look like the docks. Minus that fishy smell and with less no pickpockets!

Glitter. Yes, she had been told there would be glitter, but Lucille hadn't expected those quantities. She hoped it wouldn't stick to her new dress. It had cost more than she could afford, really, but she felt quite beautiful wearing it. She was used to long-sleeved dresses, so this one was rather brave.

The decor was interesting. At least there were no rats.

"Oh, wow. Lucille, that dress is beautiful!" That particular enthusiastic tone of voice was probably at least a little familiar to the other girl by now.

"You look so elegant!"

Which one probably couldn't say of Ringo, considering her own wardrobe. Which involved a new dress, just not one that most people would describe as "elegant".

Re: Arrival/Mingling [VD 2016] crimson_sister February 12 2016, 17:05:26 UTC

Oh no. Lucille turned to face Ringo, the smile on her face not particularly genuine. She was about to return the compliment, naturally not very sincerely, when she saw what the other girl was wearing.

"Oh."

Most of the backdrops were also nautical in nature (and a few were naughtical, thanks, Isabela) and you could borrow some magnificent hats from the photographer.

Punch & Food [VD 2016] goodforsix February 12 2016, 13:10:15 UTC

There was the usual Fandom spread, and bowls of punch (here was probably at least one that Frank hadn't gotten to yet).

And see, the edible glitter meant you didn't have to pick it off.

Re: Punch & Food [VD 2016] crimson_sister February 12 2016, 14:06:52 UTC

It took a while for Lucille to realize that the glitter was edible, so at first she tried picking it off, looking displeased. Eventually she gave up, and found out that the effort had been wasted.

Re: Punch & Food [VD 2016] smilestopscars February 12 2016, 20:03:31 UTC

Some people were probably feeling awkward about having had warmer than usual feelings for people for the length of a very short date.

But Ezra just focused on the fact that he'd met new pretty people for the first time. So he looked perfectly relaxed as he wandered over to the food table, and Lucille. "Hello there."

Re: Punch & Food [VD 2016] crimson_sister February 12 2016, 20:10:22 UTC

Lucille did indeed blush a little, but apart from offering to kiss her -- which could have been caused by whatever had made her consider it a lovely idea -- he had been quite charming. Kissing her hand had made an impression.

Still, Lucille struggled to decide whether to be clear that he might have gotten completely the wrong impression about her, or whether to just make polite conversation.

"Good evening," she said. "What a pleasure to see you here." She went for polite conversation.

Dance Floor [VD 2016] goodforsix February 12 2016, 13:11:38 UTC

Where you can do a jig, shake your booty, or slow dance the night away.

Re: Dance Floor [VD 2016] goodforsix February 12 2016, 17:07:01 UTC

Of course Isabela was on the dance floor. Three guesses which of the above options she wasn't exercising.

Re: Dance Floor [VD 2016] boneyard_girl February 12 2016, 17:29:21 UTC

"I'm stealing a dance!" Ada yelled over the music, grabbing for Isabela's hand. "Does that make me an honorary pirate?"

Re: Dance Floor [VD 2016] goodforsix February 12 2016, 17:36:49 UTC

Isabela followed Ada in a swirl of skirts. "Indeed it does, sweet thing," she yelled back. "Especially if you don't give me back after."

Shadowy Corners [VD 2016] goodforsix February 12 2016, 13:13:23 UTC

For sad loner types, or not so sad, not so lonely, types *ahem*.

Re: Shadowy Corners [VD 2016] crimson_sister February 12 2016, 14:02:13 UTC

Eventually Lucille decided to find a corner and watch others enjoy themselves. Dancing in this time wasn't, it turned out, to her taste, and even if it had been there was no one she cared much to dance with.

RE: Shadowy Corners [VD 2016] oldstrongest1 February 12 2016, 18:40:46 UTC

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaah.

A party for a lovey dovey holiday. Skaar was not going to stay here for long. But while he did, he was going to be in the shadowy corner, adding to the shadows.

Re: Shadowy Corners [VD 2016] allie_vamp February 12 2016, 20:36:52 UTC

Despite her best efforts, Allie still wound up covered in glitter on her way to lurk in the corner.

Maybe she should have stayed at the bar after all.
