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.


[OOC: Hop in where you will. Save for prom court, which we'll work on once all the votes are in.]

  Lucy Tell had been nominated as the Master of Ceremonies for this year's prom. She paused the band at 8:30 to announce the court, king and queen.
  
  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!"

    Cinna's squeal of delight was audible all throughout the auditorium, and if that hadn't been enough to pinpoint where in the crowd she was, her jumping around and hugging everyone in the immediate vicinity definitely was.
    
    She skipped up to the staging area completely giddy and accepted her sash, the crown barely fitting over her enormous special-occasion hair. She waved at all her friends in the crowd, grinning so wide her face hurt. "Oh my god, this is like, killer!"

      Arnaud had been pleasantly surprised to win a nomination for the court. He brushed up through the crowd and hugged Cinna enthusiastically after she'd accepted her crown. "You deserved it girl," he said happily.

        On the other side Hawthorne couldn't quite believe that he had somehow won prom king. "Fuck yeah!" he hollered, which was immediately silenced by a dark glare from Lucy Tell. He laughed just the same. Then he grabbed the microphone. "I'd like to thank my parents for knowing how to rock hard and be awesome and all you lovely people for voting for me! I couldn't have done it without you."

          Luka rolled his eyes at Hawthorne's grandstanding, but it was so appropriate for the occasion. Of all the people to win prom king, Thorn was probably the least expected. He clapped his cousin cheerfully on the back and winked at Adelaide in the audience.

            November had been freaked out about who nominated her at first but she accepted the nomination with good humor eventually. But this... prom court. That was unexpected. Prom court was for girls like Cinna and Rosa, not for November. With eyebrows raised she made her way to the stage and accepted her rosette with an awkward smile. She looked at Thorn in the audience and shrugged, giggling at the absurdity of it all.
            
            When Thorn was announced king she just laughed and shook her head. Who would have thought the two people most out of their element would be elected to prom court?
