"Dance cards"?

[swinish_beast]

At a ball, or a dance -- the ladies carry them.

[On the other end of the phone line, Basini is blushing a little.]

[techno_mancer]

I've never heard of that. Not really prom tradition, but I guess they could if they want?

[swinish_beast]

[rather haughtily:]
All of the girls here seem very wild. I don't think they would.

[letunityblossom]

I don't believe the prom will be nearly so formal, and for a lot of people dance cards aren't commonly used in their time.

[swinish_beast]

[Basini sounds disappointed.]

Oh.
My sisters tell me about formal balls, and things like that. I don't truly care for dancing.

[But he did have a sad little fantasy running about meeting beautiful princesses]

[letunityblossom]

This will be more casual... I believe people are really just using it as a distraction from the things Mayfield does.

[tenebrousking]

A sophisticated young man, hm? My apologies, but a high school prom is hardly a formal ball.

[swinish_beast]

[rather hotly:]

I never said it was! I was curious!

[tenebrousking]

Man, oh, man. I don't even think they've used those in high society for . . . 30 years, give or take.

[swinish_beast]

All the best people use them where I come from -- queens and empresses --
