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

[ As her name isn't Lois Lane, not really. But she does have a certain charm. Let it never be said that Clark lacks a soft spot for cats. He's going, Selina, but he's going to chuckle a little as he does. ]

Couldn't get Bruce to come out or just trying to see if you can get me out here?

[ Thank God. The moment she sees him making a move to join her, she meets him halfway, jumping in to take his hand and haul him over towards the designated dance floor. ]

Oh, if Bruce thinks he's going to get away without dancing tonight, he's dreaming. But I'll bug him about that later. This is all you and me, buddy. [ She turns back toward him, using her grip on his arm to Clark closer, the hand releasing as her arm slips around him. ] You're Bruce's best friend -- you care about him, you want what is best for him, you'll always have his back, and I'm grateful for that. I'd like for us to be able to be friends, too.

[ It's a good thing that he processes things as quickly as he does, because he can take a Moment and look at her with surprise as she says what she says without it being insulting. It's not that he didn't know that Selina cared about Bruce, but it'd seemed that her caring wasn't quite as... holistic as she's speaking about it now. Being friends with him had certainly never been on the docket. That it is now...

Well, he supposes that's one of the changes that have made this whole engagement a real thing. Something in his shoulders softens.

He can't help that he's a little protective of Bruce. Most people don't realize the sensitive heard that's beating behind that cowl, even if Clark's seen it almost from the first day. He's always worried about Selina's affections, about how her playfulness might effect him in the long run.

This is... well, it's a good sign to him. And it makes his steps a little smoother as he goes to join her. ]

I'd... like that too, to be honest. For your sake, mine... but mostly Bruce's.

[ She doesn't blame the people in Bruce's life for being suspicious of her. She and Clark have never really talked about what he knows and doesn't know, about how much he knows about her, and she can only imagine she leaves a poor impression with the spandex set.

It's such a weird thing for her, really. It's not in her nature to give a damn about what other people think of her and somehow she keeps finding herself in these positions where she feels the need to defend herself, to earn everyone's approval because she wants so badly for this to work and she doesn't want that kind of doubt hanging over their marriage.

Selina, being Selina, of course, leads their steps, letting her body find its own rhythm with the music and guide him along with her. She smiles up at Clark. ]

Which is, truthfully, what is most important to me. [ At least they've got that in common, right? ] I know that this is weird for you, Clark. I'm all for making this easier.

[ For all that it was a hassle getting him out on the dance floor, he's not actually a slouch at the dancing portion, or at matching his partner beat for beat. It helps that he's started to relax a little. ]

I don't know how easy it will ever be, [ he's speaking honestly, from the heart in a sense ] but I don't want to make it any harder than it needs to be.

[ He looks down at her, just because of height. There's no other connotation. ]

I gave him my well wishes. I suppose I ought to give you the same. Congratulations. And... I hope you're very happy together.

[ He's Superman. She kind of expected him to at least be able to pick it up quick -- match her rhythm, follow her steps, whatever. It doesn't really surprise her that he knows how to dance and she's grateful for that. No one wants to have their toes stepped on. ]

I figure making an effort, opening a dialogue between the two of us? It's a start, at least.

[ It's harder for Selina to hide her emotions when her defenses are down like this. She searches the room and easily find Bruce right where they'd left him, and it's only for a moment but there is so much love in her eyes. She bites her lip against a sappy little grin, then turns her attention back to Clark. ]

Thank you. Really.

[ ...well, that'd just be rude.]

I appreciate that. I do.

[ He's not sure what to say, exactly, how to tell her what he wants to say without it coming off as, er, more than a little defensive. But that isn't what he's trying to convey.

Sometimes, he wishes he'd addressed this in a written missive at some point. There's a reason he's a writer.]

He deserves someone willing to do things like that for him. Even if he won't ask for it with words. So. Thank you too.
