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?]

[For the first time since he'd gotten the thing, Snow has put on his SeeD uniform. This raises all sorts of questions, the first being how the heck did they make a uniform that big. From his vantage point head-and-shoulders above the crowd, the Instructor scans the attendees, with eyes for only one girl in the crowd.]

>_>; That was a fun typo

[faterelay]

[Did that particular girl have pink hair? Because if so she's already there, just hiding where he can't see her. Behind him of course, which was proving to be rather fun since he seems pretty intent on looking for her.

So naturally it's not long before she takes pity on him and wraps her arms around his waist from behind.]

Looking for someone, Snow?

[She couldn't resist the chance to tease him after all. In a soft pink dress with matching heels, Serah's still as tiny compared to him as ever, but she's confident she looks er best tonight. Except for her necklace and the nora cats dangling cheerfully from her ears there's no real jewelry to be seen. Her hair is down for once, which might come as a surprise for many since it's not her trademark ponytail.]

[haha_steelguard]

[As soon as her hands go around him, he lifts one of his own hands to press against hers with a smile she can't see yet.]

Maybe a little.

[He turns into arms to look down at her, and she can be rewarded by the way his breath catches to see her. For a long moment he just stands there in quiet awe, a smile on his face.]

I never forgot I'm engaged to the loveliest girl ever born anywhere, but I never mind being reminded.

[faterelay]

Really? Maybe I can help you find them then.

[If it makes him feel better, her breath catches when he turns too. Letting go of her hold on him, Serah smooths her hands over the fabric on Snow's chest.]

It suits you somehow. I like it. [She smiles cheeks turning a shade of pink at his compliment.] It's one thing to say I'm the loveliest girl when it was just Cocoon, but now that we know there are so many worlds that's an awful lot.

[She's teasing again, though she knows he's sincere. Not that she can blame him. She'll never,e ver find someone who looks better than Snow no matter how many worlds she could be forced to visit.]

I guess I know what you mean though, since now I can say that I'm engaged to the best man in existence too. Certainly the most handsome that's for sure.

[Which isn't hard. In Serah's eyes Snow is pretty much perfect.]

[Minato doesn't have a date for the dance, but that's no excuse not to come, by his standards. Having changed to his old uniform - which looks slightly more formal than the Garden student uniform - he'll amble just out of the dance hall, trying to mingle with the others.]

[shops_a_lot]

[Bulla waves to Minato, although she has to move carefully as she approaches, wearing the full length red dress that she is.]

Hey Minato!

[zeroth_card]

[Minato waves back and makes his way towards her.]

Hi, Bulla! You're looking great tonight.

[shops_a_lot]

Thanks! It's a new dress. You look nice too, Minato.

[shops_a_lot]

[After her experience with spiked drinks at her birthday party, Bulla is a little wary of the punch bowl. Even with all the staff present. She's sipping a glass of water off to the side for the moment, taking a break from her mingling.

[witchsuccession]

[It doesn't slip Edea's watchful eye. She's pleased to see someone taking to water rather than the punch.]

A wise choice.

[shops_a_lot]

[Bulla smiles sheepishly.]

Someone wound up spiking about half the drinks at my party last week, so I'm being careful.

Are you enjoying the party, m'am?

[witchsuccession]

Thank you, I am. And yourself? Have you not been out onto the floor to dance?

[Matron hopes her smile reassures Bulla. No need to be sheepish!]

[dangerousthings]

[Luki's looking rather cute in her black and pink dress, and she's covered up her cerberus spine with a fancy black choker. At the moment, she's wandering around the dance floor, looking for people she knows.]
