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

[ hmm... ]

I don't know if I can boil it down to one or two people. We all comes different realms, different walks of life, but the large majority of people I've spoken with have been very good. I haven't spoken to everyone granted, but the kindness of strangers is a pleasant surprise.

Edited (html fix) 2018-06-18 05:48 (UTC)

That's what I like to hear.

[Zelda already knows he's a softy, so he can say things like that aloud. Besides, it's not like he hides it unless compliments or other things are directed straight at him. In this kind of time, it's fine to be soft. In others, he'll bite someone's head off.

It's all so inconsistent, but most of all, this is an optimism party.]

Almost everyone here is completely kind and trustworthy. We're all working together, like a family.

A family? [ and immediately a chortle blows out, her expression fighting hard to suppress laughter. ] Goodness, Guren. I would never expected you to describe it like that.

Oh? Then you really haven't heard me speak at all.

[He's still dancing, and still well, even as distracted as he is with conversation. It makes it easier this way, honestly.]

All of the people in the defense force, at least... they're family. They know that. Some people not in it, too. People we're close with, at our sides, that we care about more than anything... Isn't that a type of family?

[It's nakama friendfamily all up in here]

An interesting way of putting it. There is logic to your reasoning.

[ the champions, as they were long ago, were something of a family to her too in the regard he speaks of. maybe that's what happens when people who sacrifice their lives for the greater good come together. there is a unity in the decision to protect and serve to the end... though the end is always best avoided.

she continues to turn with him, quiet and in thought for a brief period, contemplating his words. ]

Guren... indulge me for a moment: if you could choose a different path, would you?

...Different path, as in what?

[Guren knows his answer regardless, but he'd like to know the specifics of where she's digging before he just blurts that out.]

Well, sometimes I just think... a lot of what our lives are, the role we have in the world, and to others, is determined by who we are born to and the circumstances of time.

You are a soldier, and it is no doubt an honorable path to take. However, if you could choose differently, would you?

[ it's a question she's asked herself a lot. a question she still asks, as she reflects on her duties, and knows now she must take a role different than the one she had for a past century. ]

...I wouldn't change how I was born, but there are some things I wish I could change. I was born to the lowest branch family in a group of families. The head family treated us like crap just because of who we were born to.

But I was going to change all of that.

[So, that part isn't the issue.] Things changed, though. The world essentially ended, and a lot of good people died. If I could make it so that was all fixed, I would do it in a heartbeat.

[He's working towards it...] But I guess that makes me still a soldier, or something like it.

I'm sorry - for your circumstances, that is. So you would remain a soldier regardless - a role that suits you well.

[ she pauses and purses her lips. it's hard for her to talk about herself, but she feels she must explain her questioning. ]

...My world had almost ended too, at one point. A great evil awoke from a long sleep to bring it to ruin. And due to my fate, decided by my birth, I was partly responsible for stopping it.

I suppose I think about this question a lot for that reason. All my life I was told that I must fulfill this great destiny, and many times I resented it.

That's how fate and destiny works, isn't it? "The world is going to end," and so you try to do everything you can to stop it, even when you can't.

[Things like that... they suck, to be frank.] No one wants to hear how their life is going to go, anyway. It shouldn't be like that. You should get to decide.

That doesn't always mean it works out that way.

[ she did try to choose, for a long time. But in the end, Calamity Ganon came all the same, and she wasn't prepared. everyone, her friends, her father, link, they all died because of her. it's her pain to bear for all time. but... ]

In the end, the evil was sealed away. Now I search for that choice I was denied before.

That's good news, isn't it?

[It's a much nicer story than his own. He smiles for her, for it.] I hope that you can do whatever you want without any problems.

If only life were so easy.

[ and she stops the dance, halting her feet in place. ]

I think it's time I depart to the next dancer. Though it's to be seen if I'll find much better.
