Who: Whoever!
What: GRADUMACATION AND PROMS
When: The evening of June 2nd
Where: Das Stadium
Warnings: WHO KNOWS

One might find the stadium a little hot and humid for those used to a spring graduation ceremony. This fine evening the Academy is experiencing its first hints of summer, a warm breeze providing relief to those who would sit on the stadium floor, which had been rearranged into a platform overlooking neat rows of chairs meant to seat the gathered crowd of faculty and students. Towards the other end of the complex was the arrangement for the prom that was to follow. Food and drink, chairs and tables, each with a floral centerpiece, and, of course, a dance floor.

HEY DUDES! Here's how stuff is going to work. We kick off the log with GRADUATION. This part of the log will be divided into separate threads. I'll post them all at once, so feel free to hop around, mingle, post whenever, wherever.

HOWEVER, once the PROM starts, it will be up to you guys to post your own threads. Please check out last year's log if you'd like an idea of how this works. Everything after the thread titled "DISMISSAL" (I will post that in a bit, so don't post prom threads until I have that up!) will be considered prom, though don't let that stop you from continuing to post in the graduation section.

Please label all your threads appropriately! (Examples: "SHENANIGANS AT THE FOOD TABLE", "DANCE-OFF", "THE PUNCH IS SPIKED", "BOTHER X" In general, a location + what is going on in the thread is the way to go. Obviously, more than one thread can take place at the same location. 

Linking back and forth when and if you thread hop is very much appreciated. If things start to look a bit laggy, we'll bump to the next page. Most importantly, HAVE FUN, and let a mod know about any problems or concerns you might have!

DON'T FORGET THE COOL DUDES ON PAGE 2!

She pales a little and represses the urge to sink lower in her seat. Instead she stands and calmly walks over. Experience has helped her learn how to hide embarrassment from her body language and face and she takes the podium with confident grace.

"Students of Smash Academy, thank you for the opportunity to be apart of such a momentous occasion in your lives. I hope the things you've learned here will follow you and help you achieve your dreams."

Caroline glances at Cave for a second before continuing. "Success is something that we all should strive for and I believe that its definition varies from person to person. With hard work, I know each of you will find your own success."

Cave visibly rolls his eyes at his assistant's idealistic speech. He coughs loudly, squeezing the words 'fat chance' between coughs.

She straightens at Cave's childish behavior. "Those of you who missed the opportunity to take Mr. Johnson's business ethics course are welcome to visit us during the school day, or contact me personally. Thank you for your time."

The sooner she managed to end this, the better.

At the end of Caroline's speech, Cave begins clapping uproariously. The fact that he appears to be the only one in the room doing so only makes matters worse.

Caroline moves from the podium and back to her seat as quickly as she can manage without giving away how uncomfortable she was.

Taking the microphone again with a smile, Cave continues.

"She is a gem, isn't she folks! Let's give her a hand."

Not pausing to give time for said applause, he goes on.

"I would like to say that success, while subjective, is NOT being a homeless drunk, OR living in your parent's basement. Which is where most of you will end up. I just wanted to clarify that."
