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

[So he did it.

They leap in perfect unison, their moves as matched as they are during all-out attacks on shadows. But there's something even more exhilarating about this, because this isn't violent destruction; he and Akechi are making something here. A dance. Maybe more than that.

Their dance comes to a close. He does his own flourish during Akechi's spin, and then that gun is lowered on him.

Shot through the heart.

Akira clutches his chest and spins, a graceful pirouette even as he imitates death. It ends as he lands in a kneel on one knee, hands still on his heart.

He's smiling.]

[ Akechi has to resist the urge to roll his eyes at that-- Akira was just far too dramatic, in ways that would probably suit Joker better. ]

A most graceful and unconvincing death.

[ But he's smiling, too-- perhaps laughing, even. That may have been unnecessary, and completely over the top, but he can't deny it was amusing, too. Can't deny that it was fun, either. ]

But, theatrics aside, I must admit I'm rather impressed. Perhaps our compatibility truly does extend beyond the field of battle.

[ He means the dancefloor, of course. Probably. ]

[What does he mean, it was totally convincing! Though Akira has no displeasure on his face; he's smiling, as he approaches Akechi again.]

First fighting, now dancing. I wonder what else we'd be good at together.

[Is he just talking about dancing, as well? It's hard to say. Akira's smile is a bit mischievous, almost like he might be... flirting?]

[ Ah, but Akechi does recognize that-- it's hardly the first time they've performed this routine, joining hands and twirling around the topic, then going for the dip without quite meeting. It's a dance, too, one that they have yet to master.

Akechi always strives for perfection. ]

Oh, I don't have to wonder. You may be surprised, but I always knew we would be great together.

[ His smile is one to match Akira's in every way, and there's no mention of a "team" this time. There's just together. ]

[Just together.

It's a nice thought. In another time, another place, where Akechi wasn't trying to kill him...

But then, wasn't that place here? Wasn't that time right now?

Akira feels his heart quicken as he looks at Akechi's smile.]

Oh? That's surprising. [His smile is teasing, though there's intrigue in his eyes.] The detective thinking the criminal would be a good match.

[ There's a brief chuckle in response to that, though his smile doesn't change. They are a good match-- or at the very least, evenly matched in mischief. ]

Detective? Criminal? I believe we have been stripped of these labels in this place. As a matter of fact--

[ A pause, and something tugs at the corner of his lips. Something devious. ]

I would go as far as saying there is something you have laid bare to me.

Oh?

[He leans back on his heels, arms crossed, his own grin tugging at his lips. He's curious about what Akechi means.]

And what's that?

Your fondness for danger.

[ Granted, Akechi is far more dangerous than he lets on, but to a criminal? Even his detective disguise is enough. ]

The common criminal learns to handle perilous situations as a result of their activities, but you, on the other hand, seem to actively seek danger. I think you're rather attracted to it, too.

[ Is he really still talking about a general concept here, though? ]

[Akira huffs a laugh, raising an eyebrow, and trying not to think too hard about the implication of those words.]

You got all that from dancing with me?

[Dancing is not usually a dangerous activity, unless...]

Or just because I was dancing with you?

[ Akechi does a half shrug with one shoulder, though that quirk tugging at the corner of his lips only grows more evident. ]

I never said it was a conclusion I had just come to.

[ He's been observing Akira for longer, learning more about him than perhaps he would ever have had the chance to back in Tokyo. Although tonight had certainly been enlightening in different ways. ]

But, if you call yourself a criminal, then wouldn't you think engaging with a detective in such way could be considered dangerous?

Hmm... maybe you have a point.

[Akira smirks, and takes a step closer, ignoring the other people on the dance floor that move around them. It hasn't been anyone other than himself and Akechi out here for awhile, as far as he's concerned.]

Maybe I am just flirting with danger.

[Now he's just throwing subtlety out the window.]

[ Throwing subtlety out the window and caution to the wind, huh? Well, Akechi can surely match him in kind. ]

So I was right. You are attracted to... danger.

[ The metaphor stays, at least for the time being; as much as he is given to running his mouth off, Akechi would rather be covert sometimes. And this occasion, in particular, just begs for it.

But just a little. ]

In that case, allow me to ask you one more question:

[ A pause for added suspense, and he casually wets his lips. ]

Do you enjoy the thrill of the chase as much as I do?

[Akira chuckles, his grin stretching wider, a little more feral. There's an excited glint in his eye, one he can't hide.]

Of course I do.

[Phantom thief or no, Akira certainly enjoys it. And he's excited to see what kind of chase Akechi can give him.]

Oh, do you?

[ Like a mirror, Akechi's smile widens to match Akira's in kind, devious, and far too confident. ]

Because I reckon you make it too easy for me. As a matter of fact, if I wanted to--

[ Another step forward, and he leans in closer, hands in the back, but face only inches away from Akira's. ]

... I could capture you right now.

You think so?

[Akira tilts his head, though doesn't back away. His eyes hold Akechi steady.]

Because from where I'm standing, I'm the one who's caught you.

The thief catching the detective...? How unusual.

[ His eyes narrow in interested suspicion, and there's a subtle tilt of his head to mirror Akira'a, though he doesn't move from his spot, either. ]

Then what, pray tell, is it that you believe you have stolen from me?

[Akira's grin only widens.]

The only thing I'm interested in.

[And with that, he breaks eye contact, looking away.]

I think others are wanting to talk to us... and we should probably stop standing in the way.

[ "The only thing he's interested in," huh..? Well, that's a not-answer if Akechi has ever seen one, though he's far too used to Akira's dodging techniques by now to be surprised. ]

Oh? So you forfeit, then.

[ Is he talking about their dance battle or this strange, impromptu game of chicken of theirs? Hard to tell. ]

That's a shame. [ But he lets up, anyway, takes a step back, and another, though his smile isn't going anywhere. ] I was really having quite some fun.

[He's a Phantom Thief of Hearts, Akechi. It's definitely an actual answer!!

He spreads his hands.]

They say always leave them wanting more.

[This is certainly to be continued, at least as far as Akira is concerned.]

That's just as well.

[ With a chuckle, he turns his back on Akira to leave, but stops in his tracks instead. A moment later, Akechi gives him his profile from over his shoulders and adds: ]

I would hate to give up the thrill of the chase so soon, anyway.

[ And then he's gone with a smile and a promise. This is definitely to be continued. ]
