Awash Prom: The Positivity Party

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

[ 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 rubiesriot. The out of character post for the superlatives results are here. ]

Comments

[glaciers]

... I don't think I'm doing this right.

[Though he doesn't know how to "let loose".]

[queenofminiskirts]

...I was just joking.

[Because she thought it would be obvious by now but apparently not?]

Anyway, I don't think there's actually a wrong way to do this. [Pause.] Unless you're harassing girls until someone kicks you between the legs so hard you can't get back up.

[But that's an extreme case! And that's clearly not what he's doing.]

[glaciers]

[He's not great at noticing people joking at him. But that's due to lack of experience.]

I've mostly been standing here and people watching.

Nobody's kicked me today. So I think I'm doing okay.

[queenofminiskirts]

Pff-- [She covers her mouth and laughed. Because...are you serious?] I'm glad no one's kicked you! Because if someone kicked you I'd probably have to find them and teach them a lesson!

[Because you seem nice.]

Did you enjoy that? Standing around and watching people?

[glaciers]

[100% serious] I can defend myself it it comes to that.

It's not bad. There are a lot of people here that I haven't talked to before.

[queenofminiskirts]

It's not about if you can defend yourself or not. We're a team, right? That means if someone bothers you I'm supposed to kick their ass. That's how this works.

[She's 100% serious about this.

"It's not bad."]

That's not a bad start, I guess. But it'd be nice if we could find a way to make it go from 'not bad' to 'fun'.

[glaciers]

[There's a little pause as he considers it, before he nods.] Tell me if somebody bothers you. [Because this should be reciprocated, right?]

How are you supposed to have fun at parties?

[queenofminiskirts]

[Normally this sort of comment would be met with a response...actually pretty similar to the one he gave her earlier, actually. But just this time she'll only nod with a smile.] Will do!

It depends on what you think is fun?

[glaciers]

... Being with my friends?

[Why is it a question, Shouto?]

[queenofminiskirts]

[Why was it a question? At this point she's not even sure if she should tease him about it.]

You don't sound very sure.

[glaciers]

... I didn't have a lot of time for fun before. Most people know more about fun than me.

[queenofminiskirts]

[What kind of childhood did you have...? Kaoru had grown up in a government facility since she was five and even she and her friends found the time to have fun.]

Well, it's not like anyone's ever too old to start having fun! And it's not a competition anyway. Just because other people may know more about fun they don't know more than you about what you think is fun!

[Actually, if he didn't know what he thought was fun then probably no one had any idea either.]

All you need to do is keep trying new things and decide what you like!

[glaciers]

[A very stressful one. This is the first year he's ever really had friends.

He's quiet as he considers all of this.]

I like cold soba and my friends. How's that?

[queenofminiskirts]

That's a good start! Too bad we can't find any soba here.

[She taps her chin with a finger. What was something else they can...oh. She beams at him.]

Want to try dancing?

[glaciers]

Sure.

... What kind of dancing?

[queenofminiskirts]

Well, that kind.

[She says while gesturing at the dance floor which seems to include a mix of actual ballroom dancing and people who clearly had no idea what they were doing and just swaying to the music.]

But we could probably talk some people into joining us if you wanted to try something more like what an idol group would do.

[glaciers]

I've never seen an idol group before. I don't know what that dancing would look like.

[queenofminiskirts]

Then we can save that for another day! Riku says he's an idol maybe he can show us something! [...guess being in Chroma's first idol group is in your future now, Shouto.]

But what about the kind everyone else is doing? Would you want to try that?

[glaciers]

[At least his voice actor's been plenty of idols.]

Sure, we can try it.

[queenofminiskirts]

[She grins wide.] Then what are we waiting for? [And that's all the warning he gets before she reaches out to grab his hand and drag him towards the dance floor.]

[glaciers]

[Oh.

So onto the dance floor he goes- actually he's not a bad ballroom dancer!]

[queenofminiskirts]

[Well, at least one of them can dance because Kaoru has zero clue what she's doing and she's basically just going along with this and trying not to step on anyone's toes...which she might have done, once or twice. It's always very light though! The one benefit of dancing with a psychokinetic, apparently.]

You're pretty good at this! Have you done this before?

[glaciers]

[Shouto's doing pretty well, he doesn't even grimace when he's toes get stepped on.]

A long time ago, with my mother. She taught me a little to pass the time.

[queenofminiskirts]

[That's kind of sweet but also a bit embarrassing. She has half a mind to just keep herself a couple of inches off the ground but she doesn't know him well enough to just casually float around him so...]

When you were little? That sounds like such a cute memory! I've never done anything like that with my mom...actually now that I think about it I don't think she's ever taught me anything.

[Probably because she hasn't lived with her mom for long periods of time since she was five...]

[glaciers]

[Shouto wouldn't find floating weird at all. (Look at him and his ridiculous hair. He's not allowed to judge.)]

I didn't get a lot of time with her when I was young. So I try to remember the good things.
