The Prom

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.

  Despite taking their job, very seriously. Or rather Alistair taking their job very seriously, there were moments that it was impossible to resist adding a little silliness and this evening seemed ideal. They were going to ‘Prom’ - the nearest equivalent being the Yule Ball, he’d only been a wee Firstie when that had been held.
  
  His dress robes were in good condition, they were only a few years old - ditching the ones he’d ‘inherited’ once he had enough to afford what he wanted. He was considering just how tousled his hair ought to be at a formal event when there was a knock and he bounded for the door, to find his flatmate, complete with decomposing flowers, he struggled not to laugh. “I can’t believe you remembered my favourites!” He chimed with a gleeful smile, before dissolving into laughter as he attempted to take a delighted sniff of the bouquet. “Let’s hope those little brats don’t try ruin what could be only the best night of my life.” He sniggered, amused at his intentional exaggeration.

    Rhys managed to compose himself enough to assure Alistair that he wouldn't let anyone ruin their night before cracking up again. "Should be fun," he said after finally sobering a bit. Though he still bore that grin. "Wonder how many fights we'll have to break up. And what the music will be like." Rhys should probably have left his flatmate to finish getting ready. But he was actually a little excited which made him annoyingly restless and talkative.
    
    It wasn't long until the guards were on their way though. Rhys and Alistair were to arrive early so that they could check things over and see if there was anything last minute that they could help with. It was also important for them to be there as the students were arriving. There was the potential for photo drama, of course, and who knew what some of the kids might try smuggling in. As they arrived they passed the photo station. Rhys stopped just beyond it and gave Alistair an 'are you thinking what I'm thinking' kind of look.
