Don’t worry about the future.

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

It's a beautiful spring evening at Smash Academy, the barest hints of summer just beginning to touch 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.

title or description


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 shadow bug invasion, there seemed to be tensions in need of dispelling. If the Headmaster knew one thing, however, it was that some silly 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, TAG YOUR DUDES, HAVE FUN, and let a mod know about any problems or concerns you might have!

Sorry Pulse, not everyone had the moves. But you were trying, and that's what mattered. When Shantae noticed him trying, she waved encouragingly at him.

"I already take ethics." Sonny replied, also shrugging. "Cyrus is really weird and I don't agree with some of his thinking. But it's an interesting class and kind of the only really academic one I take."

Well, academic in that it had a lot of writing in it. Almost everything else he took had a physical element to it.

"I don't think there's much he could do in class to be untrustworthy. I hope not, anyway."

"Perhaps so. However, to become complacent in existing knowledge results in stagnation. To not observe and test theories and suppositions would be to cease the search for truth and knowledge. Therefore I continue to examine my surroundings, in search of new information to contribute to my studies." That was pretty profound for him.

He shook his head. "Negative," he replied. "Although I may never comprehend human need for coupling in the way organics would, I wish to continue my development as an artificial intelligence. Perhaps one day I will find such a partner."

She tried not to give him too hard of a stare, but it was evident that she didn't approve. "...So good to know you're on good terms with him."

Folding her arms over her chest, she supposed she couldn't argue the point. Maybe Sonny had nothing Cyrus wanted. And she wanted to be more like him at that moment. "Just be careful around him, okay? Don't tell him you and I are close."

"That is why I continue as well. We all are students, and continue to be so, no matter what papers we may possess." It was something Cyrus had worked to instill in his followers, no matter how useless he thought them, in the faint hope of weeding out some worthy.

"There is no point in a dance anyway. Certainly we must remain physically active for our health, yet to coordinate it to music is...pointless. Utterly so. You seek for naught."

Fortunately, in R.O.B.'s case, it was a lesson he took to heart already.

"Query: Why do you believe it to be pointless?" he asked, legitimately curious. "It would seem to me to be like any other regimented activity, with the addition of testing coordination."

"Well, we're fine, for what it's worth," Daisy replied, not convinced. Perhaps it was because she knew Falcon's reputation of being a habitual asshole. Or maybe it was just too much of a coincidence for her liking.

Whoa. Official friend status, achieved just like that. It was staggering how different things were here compared to back in Japan. It made his heart swell and he couldn't help but grin a little. "Ha ha ha! Helping each other out is what friends do, after all!"

Which was why he was going to push all of his sage wisdom onto Sonny whether he wanted it or not.

"However, don't change it to should we dance! That makes it sound as though you're doubting it and will only foster doubt in others as well!"

Well, this was off to a great start. As they started to dance together, her hand on his arm as she held his other hand, she responded, "Sort of... It's one of those protocols I had to learn as a princess. And you...?"

"Such a thing lacks those elements. There is no regimentation to it, as it is viewed as entertainment. Additionally, many dances lack the continuous movement necessary to elevate heart rate or tone muscle, ergo they are worthless as a path to fitness." He looked out at the dance floor and sighed ever so slightly. "The more rigorous dances could be considered were they not wasted on entertainment."

"I look where I like." Joel replied.

He had obviously never heard of the great and powerful Eggman Empire. And considering he'd actually made an effort to clean up, being called 'scruffy' was just going to put him in a bad mood.

"I didn't know they hired clowns to perform at these things. You waitin' for someone to bring out the ice cream cake, Chuckles?"

Joel rustled around in his pocket and tossed Gordon a spare 9mm clip. Hopefully it was something compatible with Gordon's model.

"You want to go get geared up? I can cover you."

He shoved the pistol into his pocket and picked up El Diablo - a long pistol with a sight on it. It would drop any man with one shot and a bloater in two, so long as you hit it in the head.

Rock's aim proved true, blasting most of the missiles out of the sky--except for the two or three seeking ones, of course, which fell in wide arcs right towards the super fighting robot.

"I've run into a few folks who seem to be from a different Earth altogether." Joel replied. "Kids from Japan who's world was taken over by some kind of despair. Folks who are actually dogs or... some kind of dog monsters."

He hadn't exactly come to terms with it. But he found if he concentrated more on the people and less on the worlds they came from, life was simpler, to some degree.

"Look, if your America didn't start goin' to hell September 29, 2013? Then yeah. We're from different worlds."

Sorry to interrupt. It was time for Galleom to give a tremendous stomp that shook the ground in the general vicinity.

To be entirely fair, becoming Sonny Moe's friend was about as easy as saying 'Hi! let's be friends!'. But come on, you don't just watch friendship ponies with a guy and not form some sort of bond. That's not how it works.

"If there's ever anything I can help you with, just ask me!" he offered with a huge grin. "And OK, I'll be sure not to say 'should we'. I guess I'm just used to asking stuff like that instead of making suggestions. I'll try to be more decisive!"

"It didn't," he answered, neglecting to mention the casual fact that September 29th, 2013 was about 562 years before he even existed. "So I guess that explains that."

It didn't really explain anything at all, but maybe it was good to know that there was apparently an alternate America that didn't experience a zombie apocalypse.

"A lot of the time it's easier to just...not think about it."
punchtheflute: (Human - what you say?)

[personal profile] punchtheflute 2014-06-11 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
"I think maybe he already knows? I don't think it's ever been a secret?"

Well. Except when he wasn't supposed to talk about it with Marie. But that was one very specific person for one very specific reason.

"And I wouldn't say we're on good terms. I'm just a student, the same as anyone else in his class? He doesn't give me As or anything. We have pretty different ideas about what is ethical. But he's never been mean to me either." A shrug. "I'll be careful, though, if you think I should?"

The attacks slammed into the giant tank-thing, causing it to stagger backward. It also seemed to have the added effect of making it angrier, only exacerbated when it attempted to fire its missiles and found it could not.

Galleom settled for the next best thing--swinging its massive hand in a wide arc, aiming to slam it down.

"Perhaps. I don't feel any... malevolence from him." Jon admitted. "But avoidance in the face of malevolence amounts to much the same thing. All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing, etcetera, etcetera."
