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!

"Yes! That's it."

Maybe he wasn't a hopeless robot-child, after all, though Wheatley didn't exactly have high hopes. Still, it was too early to give up on him. He'd integrate his robot son into human society yet! He'd managed to put a dress on, so that was a good start, he figured.

"Now you can greet people properly, instead of just...garbling at them."

That big, enthusiastic smile came back with Wheatley's affirmation. Human bodies were weird and confusing and illogical, but the better it came to understand the process of humanity, the greater it could assist them in their testing needs. Surely, with Wheatley's expansive knowledge helping him along the way, he'd be a master before long.

He held up his hand for that, the most powerful of celebrations, the high-five.

"Harrblathm."

Because you are so very proud, and want to celebrate, Wheatley.

Wheatley, having been built without arms, has never really seen the point of gestures like high-fives. That, combined with the fact that he really doesn't enjoy touching other people (eugh, germs), meant that he just kind of...stared. At ATLAS' hand.

He left ATLAS hangin'.
