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.



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!

Great, here he goes.

"How's Mac?"

[givemeyouranswerdo]

"Mac? He's just fine!" she replied. "He's off mingling right now, you should be able to find him pretty easy."

[raced_god]

"Yeah, I'll probably...check in on him later."

Much later. Possibly never.

"You guys are pretty serious, huh?"

[givemeyouranswerdo]

"Well, we've been dating for a few years now, so it's pretty serious I'd say!"

Wow you were observant Falcon.

[raced_god]

"No, no, I get that."

Do you hear that, Daisy? That is the sound of a hole being dug.

"I meant, like, really serious. Terminally serious."

Serious to the point of no return.

[givemeyouranswerdo]

The smile started to fade at that.

"Okay, this is the second time I've been grilled about how serious I am with Mac. The first time was by HIM. So answer me one thing. Have you been talking to him about me?"

She was starting to think this wasn't a coincidence...

[raced_god]

"No," he answered, which was not untrue. Mac had come to Falcon about Daisy, not the other way around. Slidin' through on a technicality.

"I notice things. I'm just, you know. Checking in."

[givemeyouranswerdo]

"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.

[raced_god]

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.

[givemeyouranswerdo]

"Yeah, he takes care of me just fine, and I take care of him too."

She didn't mean that the way you meant it, Falcon.

[raced_god]

"In what ways."

Whoop, there it is.

[givemeyouranswerdo]

"The heck do you mean by that?"

[raced_god]

"You know, it's just that. I hear you guys have been getting serious, so I want to make sure you're having the appropriate adult conversations."

This was going very well.

[givemeyouranswerdo]

"Well, we're thinking about maybe moving in together," she said.

Clearly that was just what Falcon wanted to hear.

[raced_god]

Ah, yes. There it was. The disaster in the making. The disaster in the making that he needed to stop, or, at the very least, mitigate. He supposed, of course, that they could just move in together and find out they were completely sexually incompatible, or something, and then Mac would wish he listened.

That was totally what was going to happen.

"Well, that's...exciting," he said, not sounding very excited at all.

[givemeyouranswerdo]

Falcon had a unique skill of getting on peoples' nerves. And now it was Daisy's turn. "What's the big deal?" she asked him. "Why are you asking me all this?"
