	Marina/Open

Marina was ready to party. She was on the dance floor and grooving in her pink and gray dress. She didn't have an specific plans for the evening. She was going to enjoy herself and whatever happened to come her way.

	Marina/Ella

Ella arrived at the dance bright and early, enthralled with all the glitter and hearts and bright colours. Perhaps Valentine's could be her new favourite holiday? She was actually wearing high heels, a rare occassion and felt ready to party.

Spotting a girl standing out in the crowd with a clash of patterns she felt compelled to talk to them, racing over and staring wide eyed.

"Your outfit is the best" she cried, realising it was Sam's sister.

	Marina/Ella

Marina grinned back at Ella. "Hello Miss Fabulous! Look at you." She could hug Ella, honestly. Here was someone who understood her sense of style. "Come dance with me, woman!"

	Marina/Ella

"Wow, yeah. Dancing is possible, I think" she giggled, pointing down to her shoes. They may not have been very high, but it was the first time she had ever worn high heels.

"Catch me if I fall" she asked, grabbing Marina's hand to go to the dancefloor.

	Marina/Ella

"You can kick them off," Marina suggested with a grin. She was well used to high heels and wore them whenever she had a chance. "I'll catch you anyway," she promised with a grin and reached out her hand to pull Ella to the spot on the floor for dancing.

	Mari/Open

It was hard not to notice Mari once she was in the dance, a faint jingling sound followed her around owing to the amount of jewelry she was wearing. She had turned up fashionably early and was picking bits of ceiling glitter out of her hair she she bumped into someone.

"Fuck, sorry. I'm trying to keep the glitter attack away" she explained, pointing up at one of the exploding hearts. "Sneaky things. You'll find glitter in your bedsheets for the next three months."

	Re: Mari/Open

Kirsten was normally a jeans and sneakers kind of girl, but when an occasion called for dressing up, it was kind of fun to do so, even if it was too much of a hassle to bother with on a daily basis. She entered the main hall practically as soon as the dance started, ready to get her groove on, when she felt someone bump into her.

She turned around to see an older girl whom she recognized as a Rienzi, though she couldn't place her name.

"No big." she shrugged. "I don't think anyone expected those hearts to explode. Well, except for the people who made them explode."

As she spoke, another heart exploded across the hall.

"There goes another one. I guess I don't mind the glitter too much- at least it goes with my outfit!"

	Mari/Kristen

Mari didn't really know Kristen, not by name anyway but that never stopped her talking to anyone and she grinned. With a last shake of her bangs she was sure most of the glitter was gone (probably to resurface again later) and she checked out the younger girl's outfit.

"No shit, you're really sparkly tonight. It's totally cute!"

	From: mad_hatter	Date: February 14th, 2011 01:28 am (UTC)		(Link)
	Mari/Kirsten

"Thanks." Kirsten beamed. "Your outfit's pretty awesome, too. I like the gold stuff in the front of your dress."

As much as she loved color, she wished she'd thought to wear a dress that stood out more in the sea of reds and pinks like the Mari's did. Maybe next year, something in green or blue.

	Mari/Kirsten

Mari beamed happily and preened slightly before turning her attention back to the other girl whilst trying to place her.

"You're in Beauregard, right? I'm Mari."

	Re: Mari/Kirsten

"Yeah." Kirsten answered. "My name's Kirsten. And aren't you in Rienzi?"

Kirsten had seen Mari around, and color-coded ties made it easy to guess who was in what house, but even if she hadn't, she seemed more Rienzi-ish than Lalaurie, and she didn't seem like a Sonnier at all. Then again, people could surprise you.

	Brian/Open

It had taken him a good four hours to find the right flowers to bring to the dance. He was sure Frankie would like anything he gave her, but he wanted to give her the most perfect flower in the world. Which was a lot harder than it sounded.

He'd opted for fake ones for obvious reasons, though. One: they would never die and she would always remember that he gave them to her. And two: they were easy to clean. It was enough to make up for them not being exactly perfect.

He held them carefully, standing near the entrance to the dance as he looked about the room. Somewhere she was going to be standing, and then? He would....

Uh...

Oh no.

	Brian/Alex

Alex had dressed rather casually and strolled in a little while after the dance. Actually, he'd really only remembered about it when he came back to the room while Brian was leaving.

As he sauntered in, he glanced around, taking in who was there. When his eyes landed on Brian standing nearby, he couldn't help rolling his eyes a little. He'd already seen the fake flowers, but he really looked kind of ridiculous just standing there and holding them.

Pushing his hands in his pockets, he ambled over to his roommate.

"You going to actually go in and look for her or are you just going to stand here like an idiot?"

	Re: Brian/Alex

"I have to, to think of what to tell her." He said softly, turning to look at Alex a bit skeptically. "Can't just say anything. Has to be something perfect."

Something like 'hello, these are for you. Your eyes are pretty.' Only, it needed to sound less like he was a stalker. Really.

	Sibyl/Open

It was another dance that she attended alone, but Sibyl had to get credit for being there. Not that she was entirely sure she was going to bother staying for long. What happened at Sam's New Years Eve party was a clear reminder that any fun she could have could be ruined at the drop of a hat.

Then there was the addition of the fact she was alone at a Valentine's Day dance. Sure, there were plenty of other people there that were solo, but many were probably the type that could easily go out and have a good time. Sibyl was a little too shy for that.

So she did what any normal shy girl would do at a dance. She grabbed herself a cup of water and sat in a seat off to the side and began to people-watch.

	Sam/Colby

Sam couldn't believe he had gotten talked into going to another dance but Bobby had a date and had asked Sam to be there just in case. He was thankful he had a few good friends to go with too, otherwise it might have ended up being one of those miserable nights. He had asked Colby to go with him and for once he didn't worry about how he dressed for a dance.

He swung by Colby's room to pick her up and knocked at her door.

	Sam/Colby

Colby had been a bit unsure and nervous about the dance. She had wanted to go, but she hadn't really wanted to go alone. Sure, Erica was all about being independent and didn't mind going stag but Colby liked the idea of going with someone, even just as friends. So when Sam had asked her to go with him, she'd been relieved and excited and looking forward to the evening. Sam was awesome and friend, so at least they could have fun hanging out.

Still, when the night of the dance rolled around she was still nervous and when she heard the knock on the door, she leaped up and startled her roommate. She tried to calm herself down before opening the door, greeting Sam with a big grin.

"Hey, Sam!" She looked his outfit up and down, her grin widening. "You look great," she exclaimed and gave him a big hug.

	Sam/Colby

"Hey!" Sam returned the hug and smiled. "Thanks Colby, you look fantastic!" he complimented his friend. "Ready?" he asked offering her his arm.

	Sam/Colby

"Thank you, sir! I'm ready if you are!" Colby grinned and hooked her arm through his, pointing forward. "Lead the way!" Despite her words, she made to walk without waiting for a response.

	From: samtheman	Date: February 12th, 2011 10:40 pm (UTC)		(Link)
	Sam/Colby

Sam was happy as can be to lead the way through Rienzi house to the main hall. "So, how have you been this fine evening?" she asked as they strolled across the lawn.

	From: wantsthesky	Date: February 12th, 2011 11:08 pm (UTC)		(Link)
	Sam/Colby

"I have been quite lovely, thank you." She smiled up at him and gave his arm a pat. "And now I'm even better because of your company! What about you?"

	From: samtheman	Date: February 12th, 2011 11:47 pm (UTC)		(Link)
	Sam/Colby

"Good," he said with a nod. "I've been really good." It wasn't entirely true, but it was partly true. Most things were okay and he was starting to learn to cope. The goal was to have a good time with his friends tonight though, so he smiled at Colby and held the door open for her.

"So... dancing, carousing, or snacking m'lady?" he asked with a big grin.

	From: wantsthesky	Date: February 13th, 2011 02:36 am (UTC)		(Link)
	Sam/Colby

Colby frowned a little. There was no exuberance in that, but she wasn't going to push the matter. This was a night about having some fun, and she wasn't going to drag either of them down. And so she beamed at him when he held the door for her, curtsying a little awkwardly and scurrying into the dance.

"Hm, I say... carousing for the moment, my dear sir!" She grinned back widely.

	Shelby/Open

Arriving to the dance as on time as possible Shelby was dressed in his usual formal attire. He was sufficiently baked for the occasion and ready to party. He and a few of the boys were standing near the punch table, checking out the room. His hands were stuffed in the front pockets of his jeans and he was moving slightly with the music, just chilling.

"She's looking good tonight." He smirked, nudging one of his buddies in the side, and motioning towards a hot brunette on the dance floor. He turned halfway to grab a snack from the table behind him. He tried to keep his eye on the brunette and not watching where he was going bumped into the arm of someone next to him.

"Oh shit sorry." He apologized quickly before even turning the rest of the way around to see who it was.
