Cinna Thompson had almost single handedly pulled the prom together. The ballroom was decorated with festoons of floating flowers. Stars hung from the ceiling, each set to sparkle as if they were properly in the sky. The outskirts of the room were set with small round tables that could accommodate one or two couples. A table of refreshments was guarded at all times by Seamus Morgendorfer and a rotating cast of other faculty who volunteered to chaperon for the evening.
A glittery ballot box stood next to the entrance where students were set to write down their chosen prom king and queen and drop their tickets into the box. Students began to stream in after dinner to quiet music playing over the speakers. The band, a local group called Vampira was scheduled to begin playing around 7:30.
Needless to say it was going to be an excellent evening.
[OOC: Hop in where you will. Save for prom court, which we'll work on once all the votes are in.]

7:00-7:30
Luka/Addy
But then, she'd already put herself through the ordeal of dress shopping, so she might as well finish up the rest of the experience. When Luka came to get her though... well, she was a little surprised.
"Wow. Have I never seen you dressed up before?"
AB/Cinna
"Hey hottie. Got a minute to get a picture done?"
She almost ignored the voice behind her, except that she recognized it as Abby's. She turned to say hi to her date, and broke into a massive grin. "Holy shit! You even matched my outfit! Are we pair of stone-cold foxes or what?"
Leland/Veronica
Ryder/Scar/Vi
He knocked on the appropriate door and waited, with his hands behind his back, to present each of his dates with a rose. One was lavender and one was red - he had tried to cater for both of their outfits.
Vi had just finished putting her her blue earrings and turned to the door. "My my Ryder," she grinned. "I had no idea you could pull off something like this," she meant it as a compliment but as usual it came off a little bitchy.
They both leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek, Vi on his left and Scar on his right.
Rhys and Alistair go to the Prom :]
As the door opened Rhys presented his fellow guard with a slightly dried-out bouquet of flowers. "Ready to go to the Prom?" he tried to mimic the level of teenage excitement reserved for such events, but wound up laughing instead.
Maddy/Arnaud
She asked Arnaud with a week to go and started planning her gown, a vintage number in black to which she added delicate jewelry.
They decided that they'd go dutch for this event and met at the door, lining up to get their pictures done.
Hawthorne/November
It was almost 7:20 before he arrived properly at November's door. He tried to flatten his hair a bit and straighten out of his jacket. The latter worked, the former not so much. He knocked cheerfully and waited for her answer.
7:30-8:30
Maddy/OPEN
Addy/Luka
She didn't know this band at all, but they didn't seem bad at all, and all the other students dancing at least proved they could hold a rhythm.
8:30-8:45
Prom Court
She cleared her throat into the microphone and adjusted her glasses to properly read the list. "Good evening ladies and gentlemen I hope you're having a lovely time thus far." After a round of quiet and polite clapping she continued. "I have been given the honor of announcing this year's prom court."
She allowed a dramatic moment to pass before continuing. "This year's court is comprised of two very lovely ladies and two fine gentleman. First I'd like to announce the ladies: Miss Rosana Cordozo Rios and Miss November Hall."
Once the girls had approached the small staging area and received their rosettes she continued. "Next is the gentleman: Mister Luka Nikitin and Mister Arnaud Powell." She clapped the boys up to stage and pinned the rosettes on their jackets.
"And of course, the great honor of the evening go to our prom king and queen. The votes were very close this year, but our prom king is Mister Hawthorne Nikitin!"
Once Hawthorne had accepted his crown Lucy pushed on. "And our prom queen for 2011 is Miss Cinnamyn Thompson!"
Prom Court
8:45-10:30
Ryder vs Leland (+dates/others?)
“Hey, Sykes,” he called over a couple of groups of people. “Are you and Thorny involved in some fuckin’ ..big sister, little sister mentoring program or something?” He figured Leland wouldn’t quite get his meaning, so Ryder continued loudly - with every word sounding more patronising than the last. “You know, take a little loser under your wing. Hope you brush off on them. I mean, you want to brush off on her, right?” There was a gesture to go along with that last bit - Ryder wasn't one to hold back.
Luka/Vi/Scar
"Ladies," he said sidling up to them with an arm offered to each. "Where have you been all my life?"
Abby/Cinna
"Hey hot stuff!" she called as she spotted her. Once she was closer and without all the other rabble listening in she continued. "Wanna dance?"
"After we dance everyone's pants off, I'm taking you to the drinks table," she promised.
