awashlogs | Awash Prom: The Positivity Party

[ Prom being future logged a bit- being held, icly, around the 12th, so punishments would have died down, and the party could be set up accordingly! ]

I. Breaking The Ice/Mingling

The air has an unmistaken chill to it, but it's certainly nice time for a party. Or, as nice as it's going to get in this town. Besides, at least dancing in cool weather means no one has to deal with having a weird, sweaty partner. Unless one is just so unlucky to get someone who sweats just because they're nervous. If that's the case, there's probably no helping you, buddy.

Regardless, if you're there before anything too exciting started, there's plenty for you to do already. Charades, eat, catch up with friends, meet new people-- the whole shebang! The lucky few adults are welcome to talk to a certain lion about the two bottle of tequlia he's watching over as well. What's a party without a few plastered people?

II. Superlatives

Caramia is the one to demand everyone's attention to gather around for the votes, but it's Kyrie who ends up standing in front of everyone. Not that it's surprising- he was the one to take all the votes, after all. He explains that he would like all the nominees to step forward, and then the winner for each category will be rewarded.

For King, the following are called out: Bruce, Caramia, Gaku, Greed, Guren, Minato, Noctis, Okuyasu, Prompto, Riku, Rin, and Yata. They're all asked to step forward. The winner, Guren is-

Wait. Guren? There's an annoyed bark from the crowd, from, unsurprisingly, Caramia: "Recount!!! Kyrie." There's an exaggerated sigh, but Kyrie takes another look at the ballots, only to shake his head with a laugh and say he must have "forgotten" to count some of the votes. The positivity prince is Guren, with Caramia being the ~~unfortunate~~ King. Guren gets five (5) ballots written suspiciously by Dextera's chickens (their names are written plainly over the top) and a colorless, wooden crown, while Caramia claims the one decorated with gold leafing. How predictable.

For Queen, the names called are: Estelle, Ignis, Kaoru, Maribelle, Maya, Ochako, Prompto, Selina, and Zelda. The winner, Ochako, is presented with a pretty crown, made from wood and decorated with gold leafing, and is told to see Kyrie afterwards for an additional gift. The Princess is Zelda, and she's presented with just as pretty of a crown, sans any color.

For Fool, the names called are: Akira, Dave, Gaku, Greed, Guren, Kyousuke, John, Josuke, Keigo, Ling, Lupin, Mafuyu, Maya, Minato, Okuyasu, Prompto, and Yata. The winner, or winners, Lupin and Keigo, get a special gift- one shot of tequila each. Have fun, y'all.

For the Most Positive Red, the names called to step forward are: Caramia, Clark, Dave, Estelle, Greed, Guren, Josuke, Kirishima, Lupin, Mafuyu, Maya, Ochako, Prompto, Riku, Sora, and Yata. The winner, Ochako, is gifted with a nicely made flower crown of red roses.

For the Most Positive Blue, the names called are: Aqua, Damian, Dextera, Fushimi, John, Minato, Okuyasu, Prompto, Vriska, Yusuke, and Zelda. The winner, Zelda, is fitted with a nicely made flower crown of blue tulips.

For the Most Positive Yellow, the names called are: Damian, Emma, Hunk, Izuku, Kyrie, Ling, Prompto, Ryoji, Shiho, and Sorey. The winner, Prompto--

Oh dear, it seems Kyrie misspoke. Sorry Prompto, hate to get your hopes up! The correct result, by a landslide, is Izuku, and he's given a flower crown of dandelions. At this point, Kyrie tells dear Prompto that he can just stay standing for the long haul. Maybe he'll win something yet.

For the Cutest Couple, the pairs called to step forward are: Bruce and Selina, Caramia and Lupin, Estelle and Joshua, Fushimi and Yata, Greed and Zelda, Guren and Dex, Josuke and Sora, Okuyasu and Ochako, Percy and Annabeth, and Prompto. Mysteriously, Kyrie also goes to stand opposite Lupin beside Caramia, but that could mean anything. The winners, Estelle and Joshua, are given a shot to share... of the remainder of the hug potion Kyrie received from the spider lady quest. Drink it or don't, but be wary of the consequence... Plus, it looks sort of gross.

For the Best Friends, the pairs called are: Bruce and Clark, Caramia and Kyrie, Dave and Keith, Dave and John, Dextera and Leliel, Izuku and Shouto, Kaoru and Shiho, Noctis and Ignis, Noctis and Prompto, Ochako and Izuku, Okuyasu and Josuke, Percy and Annabeth, Prompto, and Sora and Roxas. The winners, Okuyasu and Josuke, get... to high five? In front of everyone, I guess. Have fun, guys.

For the Town Heartthrob, the names called are: Akechi, Akira, Dave, Gaku, Greed, Guren, Ignis, Lupin, Minato, Nyx, Okuyasu, Prompto, Shouto, and Zelda. The winners, Lupin and Zelda, are announced--but, after Kyrie draws out a spare ballot from his pocket and hastily scribbles something onto it, it's announced that there seems to be another miscount! He's so sorry for the mix-up. A mysterious last-second voter turns the tides--Zelda is the winner, and while she doesn't get anything reward-wise, the applaud and flattery from winning should certainly suffice!

For Best Dressed, those called are: Bruce, Dave, Dirk, Gaku, Greed, Ignis, Josuke, Kyrie, Lupin, Maribelle, Ochako, Prompto, Ryo, Selina, and Tenn. The winner, Maribelle, gets ~~a lovely and striking~~ the usual, ugly pair of peasant clothing from Kyrie. Thanks...?

For Coolest, those called are: Akechi, Akira, Damian, Dave, Greed, Guren, Ignis, Izuku, Keith, Kyrie, Lupin, Minato, Noctis, Okuyasu, Prompto, and Tenn. The winner, Dave... doesn't get anything. Sorry, Dave. You're still the coolest, or something.

For Most Helpful, those called are: Akechi, Caramia, Damian, Dave, Dextera, Emma, Fushimi, Guren, Ignis, Izuku, Ling, Maribelle, Minato, Ochako, Prompto, Riku and Sora. Seeing as this, however, results a five-way tie, Kyrie sighs and tells them all that their prize is to "help" each other figure out who the winners ought to be.

And finally, for Most Likely To Fall Down The Well, Kyrie coaxes the following over: Clark, Gaku, Guren, Jake, John, Kamui, Keigo, Ling, Mafuyu, Minato, Okuyasu, Prompto, Riku, and Yata. Before the results are announced, a vote for "Not Prompto" disqualifies Prompto from the runnings, and he's told he can finally sit. The ever so lucky winner of this amazing category is none other than our resident ~~klutz~~ idol (or rather one of them): Riku!! Congratulations, Riku!!!! His prize is... having proved everyone wrong for today! Probably!

III. Dancing

Once the superlatives pass, the King and Queen get first dance, and the others will trickle in as they see fit. But overall, between Summer, Riku, Gaku, and Tenn all switching out to work on the music respectively, so it's certainly not going to be quiet any time soon. But parties would be boring if they were quiet, right? Grab a partner and join in!

IV. Mafia
[ Next Friday(06/15) at 9 PM EST, we are going to have an IC game of mafia. You'll have to make an account (it takes only a second to set up), but everything will happen in real-time, and it'll be fun to have us all chaotically doing stuff like that together. We hope you can join us! On the previous Friday, if we have enough requests, we may hold an OOC game to show people the game.

If you have any questions, you can hit me up at

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Why does he keep saying need???]

Tell me about yourself, about your homeland. What were you doing before you arrived here?

Me?

[His expression switches to one of confusion. He isn’t confident that there is anything interesting to know about him.]

Well...? I am from America. I was attending public school there, and performing my duties as a Living Library... um. Y-yourself?

A student? Very good, you should be keeping up with your studies.

As for me... My homeland is called Ylisse. I am a member of the Shepherds, which serves as their army. We were about to go to war with a bloodthirsty tyrant... no doubt we'll win.

A war? My goodness! Ms Maribelle, right? You must be so brave... I apologize for my surprise. I never imagined warriors would be so well dressed. I have a lot to learn, it seems.

[A hand wave, she's not insulted.]

I'm aware. But don't judge a book by it's cover. Just because you have to fight doesn't mean you can't look good doing it.

Ah, no. I certainly agree!

[Eliot himself cares a lot about his appearance, so knows it shouldn't surprise him to hear that others do as well.]

I suppose it comes from the fact that back home, militaries require a uniform and give very little room for customization. But the fact it is different in other worlds is enlightening.

We do have customized armor... but it's more a suggestion than required. In fact, many of our soldiers have their own armor forged, or inherit them from their families. Soldier parents tend to have soldier children.

Interesting. I suppose it would make sense if you perform different duties and train different skills. You would want your role to be obvious to your comrades... Oh.

Oh my goodness, my apologies! I'm discussing war at a party! H-How distasteful on my part!

[Sheesh, take a chill pill.]

I'm the one who brought it up, remember? It's not as if we're discussing dead bodies and blood. Not all our home lives are peaceful and civil, unfortunately.

W, Well... While I do agree with that, 100%! Parties like these are ones where we should share a common capacity for happiness. I'm sorry for spoiling it with my curiosity.

In that case, what do you enjoy talking about? What makes you happy?

[Oh no. Another person asking Eliot for an opinion! He hesitates before answering... slowly and careful, as he expects to be scolded.]

Well... I do a lot of reading. My job is to be well informed, after all. And uh... I was fairly good at baking? That was fun. If you mean hobbies?

Baking? Interesting... I wouldn't have guessed. What do you like to bake? But yes, hobbies would also be nice to know. Come, don't leave anything out.

Oh goodness. Some may be left out simply because I'm 'this' Eliot.

I enjoy baking cupcakes and cookies, then? Things that I can bake in large quantities and share. I myself cannot taste sweets, but as long as you follow a recipe for baking then your results will be consistently tastey. It's the best bet for food I can share without it being disgusting.

[Hobbies, though. That's hard.] I am trained to play piano, violin, and the flute. My handwriting and calligraphy are well-practiced. What about you? What hobbies are you able to maintain?

["This" Eliot???</i] Baking yet being unable to taste them... I must say, that is some confidence. I admire it. Anyway, those are excellent hobbies to have! I, too, have played the violin, as do all in my family, and naturally perfect penmanship is expected as well. I cherish a good book, I dabble in stitching, and a companion of mine once taught me the fine art of gambling.

Yes, well... I'm certainly confident in the recipes I have. Following directions is a specialty of mine.

"The fine art of gambling," huh? I do know some card games myself... It's fun, as long as I don't think too hard. [With his pristine memory, Eliot accidentally card counts.]

Stitching must be useful here. We have to take very good card of our clothes. I dabble in sewing and clothing modification, but I can't say if I'm good at it.

Perhaps some time, we should set up a little game night for everyone, to relax their spirits... I doubt this will be the last time we need one.

[Although she can't imagine things being much worse than that last one.]

I can agree. That would be quite enjoyable.

[Look at Eliot: Admitting to enjoying something!

Even if it's gambling, of all things.]

Everyone has handled this strange situation quite well already. I've been very impressed.

[She looks back into the crowd, quiet for half a moment.]

... May we always be able to handle it this well.

[She. Had not enjoyed the event.]

Agreed. We all seem to be working well together, so I have no doubt that we can handle this place.

... Should anything come next... Know that you can always come to me for help.
