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!

"You gonna dip 'em in cheese for me first?" Joel asked, finding Eggman about as threatening as a basket of kittens.

His immediate instinct was to say No. But he'd already screwed the pooch on that one, huh? He'd mentioned Ellie in his first Network post in case she'd shown up here too. It was a dumb mistake to make. If there had been Fireflies here somehow...

No point in denying it now. And he did trust Falcon to a point. About as much as he'd trusted anyone in the last 20 years. (Except for Tess. But he didn't like to think about Tess too hard.) He seemed like a good guy. Good guys didn't necessarily stay that way so he'd be careful what he said.

"I got someone. I mentioned her on the network my first day. Ellie. She, uh. She has folks to take care of her though."

Assuming of course that she got back to Tommy and the rest of the Power Plant settlement people OK and didn't get just as lost as he had.

Sonny just smiled, looking down at their hands, still entwined. He couldn't help thinking how different their hands looked. Her hands were so dainty and elegant looking compared to his big, sausage fingers and blue dusting of hair.

"Definitely, my life changed a lot when I met you."

If she wondered whether he meant for better or for worse, his smile might have given her a clue.

Conceited, yes. Probably.

But Jon had an inkling that Jock's team could probably better deal with the Arcanine's mood than he could. If there was some way to snap him out of this mindset for a while or at least provide some sort of positive distraction, they were more likely to know it.

"I am sure they'll appreciate your assistance."

"Aye. And I've a suspicion we'd both feel disappointed were that not the case."

They currently lived in an age of miracles and marvels the likes of which he'd never conceived back home. For her, it would be even moreso, he'd wager.

Not that he was a huge fan of technology. Still, that didn't mean he couldn't enjoy it's benefits.

"Hey! Vivian! Hi!"

Woop woop Ponyfriends at Prom. It's just like Equestria Girls! Except... well. Everything. BUT STILL.

"I like your dress and your hair!"

Sonny had already taken his diploma and his seat, but he stood up to clap once Ike's speech was done.

"Yeah! Congratulations, Ike!"

Kiyotaka was the kind of guy who formed deep soul bonds literally overnight so they were actually a pretty good combination.

"Don't just try! Do it! Now go out there and tell her you're going to dance with her right now!"

And he would. Watch. And continue to be antsy about asking his own date.

[personal profile] forgetbeam 2014-06-14 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
Try to give a guy some life advice and he turns on you. Fine, he didn't need this.

"I don't have time for this," he snapped. "I should be with my date!"

HE TURNED. HE WAS GOING.

"That's because I put the practice in," he insisted, taking a glance down to mark Aoi's progress. he saw right down her cleavage HE SAW. RIGHT DOWN HER CLEAVAGE. And that threw him off enough to fuck up and stumble.

To him, it didn't necessarily matter if Daisy was convinced or not. The important thing was to make sure they didn't rush into something they'd ultimately regret. Truly, the noblest of intentions.

"He takes good care of you?"

IN ALL OF THE WAYS

THAT A BOY SHOULD TAKE CARE OF YOU, DAISY.

Once he realized he wasn't going to be able to shoot down all of the missiles, Mega Man switched weapons again, this time to Leaf Shield. The barrier went up around him, protecting him from the blasts. As soon as he was safe, he threw the razor sharp barrier at Galleom, hoping to do at least a little damage.

As he cycled through his huge arsenal of weaponry, thinking about what would work, the barking sound of Rush's arrival perked him up. The red robo-dog ran up to his owner, transforming into jet mode as Mega Man hopped aboard and took to the sky. A vantage point might help out. But as he tried to figure out how to approach the invader, the Blue Bomber noticed something else.

More people in danger.

As much as he wanted to keep bringing the fight to their leader, he had to protect the innocents. He dove down towards the closest skirmish...

He couldn't find Zelda. He knew better than to think she couldn't hold her own, but something sat poorly with him. Maybe it was the idea she might think he left her intentionally and of all things she could think of him, that wasn't one of the things he wanted. But it made him realise that he did want her to think of him.

So... did she? She must have to some degree.

In the midst of the newly-found chaos, Soryk had woven himself around bodies, between pairs of bodies, and moved as fluidly, quickly, and quietly as he ever had in Azeroth. Finding the familiar silhouette of the man he'd been contracted to do away with made him stop in pause.

Seth was no longer around and the contract didn't need to be fulfilled, but Soryk had developed something of a rivalry with the individual who called himself Sheik. Disliked him rather a lot, actually. Sheik had a composure that made Soryk think too much of the man he'd once been. As if Sheik represented all he was when he wasn't clamouring for some kind of grasp upon sanity.

No... Soryk abhorred Sheik. And liked letting him know it.

"You," he hissed with a clear disdain. He kept his distance of the other man, but made sure they both were aware of the other. For him being deemed an enemy, Soryk couldn't say his life was any safer next to Sheik than it was next to Galleom.

She was light on her feet, as he expected her to be. Soryk wasn't very well-versed in the arts of courtship. No woman in his life was one he'd truly courted. If anything, relationships happened simply by chance and before he really knew they were even there. With Ei'riya, it was simply a notion that popped into his head when he awoke. With Atê... well. It was her basically wondering when he was going to put a ring onto her finger and set a date.

Not that he had an issue with commitment, because he didn't. Really. He didn't. No man was more loyal than Soryk. It just took getting him to that point.

"Formal training," he parroted with a slow nod. "Dare I assume this is much like the ladies from my homeland with their own? It is deemed somewhat necessary for a woman higher in social culture to have such talents beneath her fingertips."

"Oh, a trainer..."

Voile tapped at her chin with some consideration, realising that even with it in her possession, she couldn't do anything with it. He hadn't specified it had to be her trainer, but considering Phoenix wasn't even there, she had to assume she still couldn't do anything with it. So didn't that leave the research at square one?

"I'd love to, but... I can't really have too many notes if I can't use it, right? Unless there's some kind of a workaround." And she doubted that was the case, but that was the whole point behind research. "I'll help you out however I can, though. Maybe you'll figure something out I don't know."

She followed his gaze and in her opinion, it wasn't difficult to see what he was looking at. And it was even less difficult to begin comparing them herself. She was more than a little dainty beside him. Always had been. Sometimes dangerously thin. Almost always undeniably fragile and easily broken. It wasn't going to take much force to likely shatter her insides. And that was meant physically. She never advertised it, but the lack of physical strength and defence resulted in empathic powers beyond the ability of most.

She still had never met anyone who could compare. Next to Sonny, he was strong and secure. Confident most of the time. Ambitious. In some ways similar, but physically he was the sun and she was the moon.

"You think so? I think your life would have been much the same. Think of it like a concert. You're the main attraction, right? I'm more like the cameo appearance. And sometimes we have duets. I don't think it's such a huge deal."

"That would be helpful if I really knew what any of that meant." Which meant it evidently wasn't always clear. "I will assume since you think I am worldly, that you are talking about your culture, which I will respect. I like to think more than one place celebrates all seasons. My people acknowledged the changing of the year and what it would bring with it."

Considering she lived right in the middle of everything changing. But they probably experienced the same things in different ways. Considering how different just Haytham and the British were from her people.

Each subsequent attack forced Galleom on the defensive, and it raised its massive limbs to keep the water and fire from reaching its face. This time its tactic was to stomp in place, causing veritable earthquakes around anyone who stood nearby.

"I think we're going to hit the snack table first! But right after that I'm going to do it!"

He gave Kiyotaka a thumbs up and a huge, toothy grin.

"I bet you have a great night with your date too! Oh! Who did you ask?"
punchtheflute: (Human - what you say?)

[personal profile] punchtheflute 2014-06-14 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
"Nuh-uh!"

Said with a degree of surprise and an earnestness that almost surprised him. It was an instinctive reaction, nearly. Did she really think in those terms?

"You're not just a cameo! At least, I don't feel that way! Since you've been on the stage with me, all I want to sing is duets. Songs written for two, you know? If anything, I'd be happy to be a cameo in your concert. Playing backup. You're... you know. Special. Wonderful. It's... I just think you're really great."

It was rare for him to speak metaphorically or with any degree of symbolism. And whenever he did draw an analogy, it was generally food based. ('It's like you're the pepperoni and I'm the cheese and you need both to make a really good pizza!') Maybe his recent exposure to the playing of an instrument really HAD broadened his horizons a little? He couldn't say. He just picked up her metaphor and ran with it. A little clumsily, but that wasn't so strange for him. Most things he did had a degree of clumsiness to them.

"I think you're right," and it wasn't often that Ziio agreed with someone. "In light of that, let us stay true to ourselves."

Something she thought would be reasonably easy for them both. Too stubborn to change for anyone else, after all.

The speed at which he disagreed surprised her. And it didn't stop there either. What he said held more weight than she really knew what to do with. How long had he thought of her in such a way? When he spoke like that, it always struck her heart because she never just experienced her own feelings. She experienced his, too. Romantic inclination had a way of paving the road for some rather... blatant sentiments.

"I would never want anyone to be backup to me," Voile admitted.

Mostly because she didn't like being the centre of attention. Especially not when many other people were involved. The contests in Lilycove were sometimes overwhelming. The contest she had in FDC were equally so. Host club events were, as well. Voile was practically made for the stage and she knew that. She had stage presence and she was aware she possessed an odd kind of charm that drew even the most sulkiest of people to her.

"I'm not sure what to say," she continued a little shyly. "When you talk like that, it isn't as if you just 'love' me. Makes it sound like you've fallen in love with me." Because yes, there was a distinct difference and no one probably understood that more than the local empath.

When he said that, for some reason Connor could picture Joel as being one with his drink. Or at least having the curious enough mind to do it.

"Did you partake?"

People sure did turn heads at him, for entirely different reasons. People didn't know what to make of people like Connor, and some (if not most) people of the colonies regarded him rather poorly. Below a human being. A sub-species.

But that wasn't this discussion in the very slightest. Connor took one of his hands to gently pat one of hers. A warm gesture.

"You do not have to worry about that, I would promise," Connor spoke softly, almost having the mental image of a huffy Eirik should she feel jealous. What would that look like? After all, she was a lot like Connor and normally kept composure.

More of a playful side was probably surfacing, and Connor was unaware of it.

But he did beam a little more.

Connor was really focusing on where on the neck of this thing was some place to jam this into. He would happy if that slowed it down, happier if it could manage to take the head out of commission permanently.

This was a far different beast that any robot he'd seen, but he had to adapt or they could very well be turned into dead meat. If the thing tried to use its hands to grab him and throw him off, he would try to fend it off with his blades.

He heard Joel about keeping it busy, so that was what he would attempt to do too. Keeping grip of anything, Connor would start swinging his tomahawk on the center of his head.

He took a second as he was doing this though, and spoke quickly to Gordon.

"Gordon!" Connor yelled. "Find something to grip and keep its legs occupied!"
