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.]

  She didn't even know if this one still counted as a court dance; they'd flailed around, been 'ahem'd at, ran off and annoyed the band, and flailed some more. She didn't care either.
  
  "Three pages devoted to your ass? I dunno if I can get away with that. I mean, I tried last year." She actually had tried last year. The girls on committee were okay with it; the boys and Professor Morgendorfer, not quite so much. "I've got enough different photos of your hair to squash together a half-page 'what's in the water' montage?"

    He stopped dancing to hug her joyfully. "Even if you can't get it man, the half-page of my hair would be fucking aces. I'm taking requests, whatever color you'd like." Tonight he'd gone with classic blond, though it wasn't obeying his will to stay flat.

      "Cotton candy pink!" She squealed and hugged him back. She was a big fan of bright bright colors, but she thought he'd look just delightfully wrong with candy-colored hair. Too innocent, which just meant more trouble.

        "I'll see if I can get a hand on some dye," he promised. He might be able to concoct a mixture from the dye he already had. "I need to learn a charm for that. I could have it switch colors on its own."

          "DISCO HAIR!" She yelled excitedly. She was loud enough as it was, but the band's microphones picked it up as well and blasted it through the rest of the ballroom, which cracked her up again.

            "I'll wear a collar with speakers built in and it'll be a fucking party wherever we go!" He kept bopping to the music and continued to gesticulate wildly even when the tempo changed and the band began to play the next song.

              Cinna threw her arms in the air; this beat was far better suited for dancing. "Baby, I love the way you move, but you gotta save one for your date okay!" She bounced over and grabbed him, turning him around in a big, wobbly circle as she looked around her. "Where'd she go?"

                "Dunno," he answered, searching around as the other students started to spill onto the dance floor. "She was with Arnaud. Maybe they had a hair emergency." Which was a hysterical idea that had him laughing again.

                  "WELL. If you're going to have a hairmergency, then you want to be with Arnaud." It had been a joke and she knew that, but she was completely serious when she said it. It was just plain truth; he was a hair genius. "You should get him to do your pink fluff! I bet he can make it do disco hair."

                    "Holy fuck! I'm totally going to ask him." He was picturing the half-page of hair in the yearbook as his center picture shifted colors of its own volition. "This is so happening."
                    
                    He leaned over and kissed Cinna sloppily on the cheek. "You're the best Cin! I'll grab you later." Then he rushed off into the crowd to find his prom date and the hair guru of Dresden.
