New Vigilants: Final Day of Term (UNION)

Tomorrow (Friday 30th July) is the last day of term before the New Vigilants break up for the summer. The afternoon is set aside for the Graduation Ceremony in the lobby of Unity Tower, where those students leaving are honoured, with those parents able/willing to come invited to watch. A fair number of pupils are leaving this term, some having been there for just the one year, many though having been there for two.

There's also the promotions for some students who are going on to become Team Leaders, and those students who came to learn about their powers deciding to sign on as New Vigilant to learn the skills, techniques and tactics needed to hero.

Cindersnap, the 'head' of the school as it were, presents the ceremony along with the other tutors, giving out anecdotes, handshakes, a few hugs and the New Vigilant Graduation Ring, coming in a range of styles and designs to blend in more and be less conspicuous for those that may not want to advertise their gift as much.

There'll be refreshments of course, and afterwards a recess to allow people to chat before transport is arrange for those parents leaving then, and the hall is cleared for the evening. The reception desk is again the counter for the refreshments, among other tables. The sound systems and lightning are set up, as are some of the conference rooms above for the entertainment activities.

Upstairs is the option of computer gaming, chatting, more food, TV and generally a more relaxed and less 'prom-like' scene, while downstairs has the areas for dancing, partying and generally having a good time with music. Unless they're playing Rock Band upstairs of course. That also counts as a good time with music.

Of course, no alcohol is permitted, even for those students at 21. No way Ryan's going to let any chance of someone younger getting access to alcohol. Drugs are strictly disallowed, as is smoking. Even outside.

The food is to a high standard, as always, and it's not the pretentious kind either. Good, edible party fare, with a few touches of class here and there. Range of options too, with some tables set aside for those with allergies/dietary restrictions. The UV's vigilant androids and gynoids provide a watchful eye over these. The same goes for the soft drinks too.

Thanks to some sonic tech provided by the Lab Bunnies, there are four dance floors playing differing styles of music, with playlists displayed on large monitors above each area. In addition, the buffet area is music free to allow for talk while gathering/snacking, and there are areas to the sides of the dancefloors with seating provided.

Now, as I know some have an aversion to RP threads, I figure what can be done is people can simply post what their characters might be up to at the prom (or before, or even a few little stories) and then thrash things out on here with others for interactions. Nice and simple like. I'll get cracking on that soon for myself.

Fudgenuggets. >< It's all this going to bed early, diet and exercise stuff. Bad for the brain.

Cindersnap: Socializing is the name of the game for the leader of the New Vigilants. That and dancing. Wandering about from group to group, he'll be chatting, joking and whisking whoever he can away to the dance floor. And keeping an eye out on his ward Cara too. When he's not downstairs, he's upstairs talking with people there.

Quickfrost: Jacob'll be keeping to upstairs mostly, venturing down just to check on things. And maybe... maybe... maaaaaaaybe ask Leannan and Annette to dance. Not at the same time. Checking up on his students too, just to make sure they're having fun. Other than that, he'll be found playing Rock Band. Man plays a mean plastic bass guitar.

Fusebox: Dancing, gaming and spending time with Tigergirl, as well as chatting to folks.

Jackal: Likely to be doing bombing runs of the snack tables to gather up chicken drumsticks and other meat based foods. Or found near Tabby chatting.

Sophie Reynalds: Isaac's busy working, so she's there with Juan to party, and show off her latest prom fashion creation. It's very... slinky. Likely to be trying to drag Thebe, Hot Wire and Air Razor out for dancing.

---

Luminescent Spark: Sparky will be busy freaking out at the party being this darn cool, generally trying to get to know people while being immensely shy at the same time. Yes, that is as awkward as it sounds.
She'll be wearing an absolutely stunning blue dress...in her dreams. What she's actually wearing is a very smart trouser-shirt-waistcoat combo with her glasses as usual. She's way too self-conscious to wear a dress. In deference, the wasitcoat is blue.

---

Annette: Will be dressed in a fairly figure-hugging, low-backed, floor-length white gown with a split up the side all the way up to the hip, and six-inch heeled platform shoes with transparent soles. (The latter being so that she gets anywhere close to Jacob's height.) She will get Jacob to dance, even if it involves dragging him. I see her as a drummer at the Rock Band stand, she definately will not be singing (she has a singing voice like stripped gears).

Leannan: It's her first prom, so she'll over do it a bit. Dressed in a floor-length, sky blue gown, fitted at he top with a wide skirt. It somehow manages to look semi-transparent to some people, and quite solid to everyone else, and it sparkles whenever the light hits it. She'll dance with anyone who asks, and sing at Rock Band, her voice apparently adapting to any kind of song that comes along. Yes, she's tossing the Glamour around like confetti.

Tabby: Has been provided with her very own climbing frame with perches and 'mice in parcels,' so she'll be in seventh heaven.

Cara will be in a short red dress inlaid with red glitter so that she sparkles, with matching red shoes and such. She's growing up fast now and isn't quite that same cheeky tearaway she once was so Ryan doesn't have to worry TOO much about what she might be getting up to with various male NV members when the chaperones aren't looking.

@FloatingFatMan

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Soaring Horizon: In a gold and black mermaid formal dress, she's still got her broadsword with her, but it's kept safe in a leather scabbard branded with softly glowing blue runes. She'll spend most of the time stealing dances (Less awkward than it sounds, she may be tall but she's also got incredibly good reflexes), trying to get the shy people more involved and has her own guitar for Rock Band, that's branded with enough mystic ruins that it looks like it was stolen from Ozzfest.

Lab Bunnies: DJ Robunny will be on offer to take requests for music for any of the four dance floors, there's no decks needed as she's running it all internally . Fireworks are provided as the night draws to an end, (And they got permission and pre-warned locals about it too) but people are freely encouraged to add in with their own powers. It's quite showy as the Bunny's rarely get to indulge in the cathartic chance to blow things up!

---

Rushmore: How could I forget Rushmore? Brain fail. D: Jamie'll be there with Joanna, in a nice suit. Suits are cool this year. They're always cool. Chatting, eating, drinking, transforming to dance with H without being all ickle compared to her tallness. He'll even dance with Ryan!

---

Let's see;

Joanna would be there in a purpley dress of some kind, and won't mind Jamie's dancing so long as he gives her plenty of dnces too, well alright maybe just one slow dance is all she really needs.

Thebe's got herself a nice green dress (To go with the mask) which has one end longer then the other to give it a diagonal swipe across her legs, and is happy to dance, if people give her enough room so she doesn't accidently send someone flying

And Sue will be around as an early eveing chaperone who'll head off to her room about mid evening :P

I don't think I forgot anyone <.<

---

Wire will be in a long sparkly yellow dress that highlights her figure, and trying not to breath too deeply or to stretch and have another incident like at the beach. She'll be spending her evening bouncing between dancing on one of the floors with friends, chatting with people, trying not to make people feel bad on the Rockband Guitar, and only making quick passes on the food table to make sure she doesn't just sit there eating all night and letting others get some as well. As the evening winds on she's more likely to be found just cuddling up to Thebe than the more energetic activities of before.

---

Addendum; Sparky will also be hating herself for not having the guts to wear a dress to the night

Air will be wearing the exact same suit he wore to the last prom; a black jacket and trousers, a white shirt, his mask, and a bow tie of the same colour as his mask, which he also wears.

He looks a little awkward, as usual. So many people, most of whom he hasn't spoken to before due to his quiet nature. He's also on the lookout for any incarnation of Tamura, so he doesn't get caught off-guard like last time. He'll tend to be wandering between the Rock Band setup and the food table, eating to calm his nerves. But occasionally he'll go to the dance floor, with the intention of watching rather than participating.

That was the plan, anyway. Air Razor was standing at the side of the dance floor, watching the couples moving in time with the music, an up-beat song he recognised faintly but couldn't place. He recalled his dance lessons with Ryan and Dinah, and was shuffling his feet around in what just about resembled a jive.

Staring at his feet trying to recall some of the moves, he didn't notice anyone approaching.

"C'mon Air, dancing. Juan's fine with it. Can even dance with him later if you want. I won't mind. Oggle, yes. Mind, nope."
Air looked up. "Uh....hi Sophi-wait, huh?" he stuttered, taking a while to process what Sophie Reynalds had said. Sophie held out her hand, and when Air hesitated to respond, she reached out and seized his hand, and pulled him onto the dance floor.

Air was trying to replicate what he'd learnt in his lessons, but he felt far more pressured on an actual dance floor than any environment he'd been taught in. He tried his hardest to dance well, spending more time staring at his feet than looking at Sophie, his brow creased with concentration.
"Eyes up, Air! You'll not get them moving right if you keep looking down." Sophie grinned to him. Air paused for a second, a confused look on his face. "Get my eyes moving right?"
"Your feet! You concentrate on them, you're having to think harder about moving them. Just move them! Or else I'll get Isaac to drop by and dance with you instead. Want me to do that?"
"Uhhhh..." Air was starting to look a little red, a combination of the suggestion that he dance with Isaac and the feeling that the eyes of the rest of the room were probably on him. "I'm fine dancing with you." He tried again to move his feet correctly, with a little more success than before.

"See? Better already!" Sophie smiled. Air started to relax a little, still dancing awkwardly but beginning to enjoy himself a bit more. He stumbled a couple of times, narrowly missing Sophie's feet on more than one occasion. When the song ended, Sophie said "Thanks. I won't hog you any longer, I bet there's a few others who'd like to dance with you!" she nodded in the direction of a group of girls standing on the opposite side of the dance floor. "Go and say hi!"

Air Razor staggered in the general direction of that side of the room, then veered towards the buffet table. Comfort eating is needed before asking people to dance. Lots of comfort eating...
