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!

"In the twenty-first!"

He bristled visibly, no matter how much he was trying to play it off like nothing. He'd never been much good at that.

"It's obviously European-influenced."

Byakuya rolled his eyes.

"Obviously." Good. On a night like tonight, it was still possible to get under the former prefect's skin. It was probably going to be the best part of prom. And he needed to push Kiyotaka around a little bit-- his birthday was still fresh in his memory, and he needed to try and repress that display.

[forgetbeam]

Well, Kiyotaka was going to have none of it. He crossed his arms, disapproval written all over his face. his default expression then

"Did you need something?"

[richasshole]

"Not really," He replied, as if already bored with the situation. "Just wondering if you had a hand in the contraction of this monstrosity. You seem to like this sort of thing."

He gestured to Kiyotaka's outfit again. "I'm sure this is evidence enough."

[forgetbeam]

"Absolutely not! This is some sort of western tradition."

Supposedly. He didn't get it.

"I think it's all a waste of time."

Gone were the days he would have found enough enthusiasm for the sake of showing school spirit, but he had no pride whatsoever in Smash Academy, and so made no effort to mask his distaste anymore.

[richasshole]

Ah, welcome to the club, young one.

"Do you? I wouldn't have expected that. Considering your... entire being. Though I suppose things have been odd lately..."

[forgetbeam]

"Just what is that supposed to mean?"

Besides, saying things had been odd in Smash Academy had to mean that something big was afoot.
