I'll be there for you

Who: EV ERY ONE
What: Graduation. Prom.
When: The evening of May 31st.
Where: The 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.



Before everyone could get their party on, however, there was the main event of the evening. From his place at the podium, Master Hand watched students and staff alike find their way into the stadium. With the recent robot shenanigans, there seemed to be tensions in need of dispelling. If the Headmaster knew one thing, however, it was that some silly city antics were not going to ruin this esteemed event. Not tonight. Not if he could help it.

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!

Oh look, it's the kid who loves rules. Might as well have some fun before the ceremony starts.

"Stop slouching," said Bowser to the boy who had, quite likely, came out of the womb as straight as a rod.

Oh no, not this asshole. But Kiyotaka completely fell for it and checked his posture. It wouldn't do any good to be anything less than presentable today (or any other day, for that matter)!

"Yes, sir!"

[ihateplumbers]

"Is that a spot on your uniform?" Bowser asked, feigning shock.

[forgetbeam]

"What?! Where is it?!"

Ha ha, what a sucker, actually checking thoroughly like that.

As Eyebrows McGee was in panic mode over his perfect outfit, and thereby distracted, Bowser wiped the soot off of his gums onto a finger, and then lightly tapped the back of his shoulder, in a spot where Fussy Britches couldn't have seen it without taking the jacket off. There was now a black smudge on the impeccably white uniform.

"It's right there, and it's just, it's so detracting on such an important day. Everyone behind you can probably see it; it sticks out like a sore thumb."

[forgetbeam]

He suspected absolutely nothing but the purest of intentions as he felt the tap on his shoulder. As much as he craned his neck, he couldn't get a good look at it, but it had to be bad. Shoot! He'd been so careful to make sure his uniform was as clean as could be before coming and couldn't remember anything happening that could have left a mark...

If he was going to locate and (hopefully) remove the spot, he'd have to take off the jacket, he decided. He gave his watch a quick look, trying to determine if he'd have enough time before the ceremony began... He'd have to try. There was no way he could just leave it.

He stood abruptly, giving a small bow. "I see... thank you for telling me! I have to clean it at once!! If I hurry, I can make it back in time!"

[ihateplumbers]

Man, this guy was so easy it verged on not being fun anymore.

"Please make sure that you do. Disturbing everyone else by you coming in late would be almost as bad as having to look at your befouled jacket."

[forgetbeam]

HE WASN'T GONNA BE LATE.

He was, however, going to start having suspicions as soon as he got to inspect the mark a little more closely.
