'Prom' Part II.

Okay.

The real idea behind having a 'prom' was to provide some sort of gathering for the younger characters - the teenagers. Proms were the only thing I could think of, the only social event, that are 'officially' for teenagers.

Since people are having problems with that idea, I'd like to propose a formal party/dance out on the lake, or by it - for the young 'uns only. The only adults allowed, if any, would have to be chaperones. Ginny's player and I are trying to arrange this, so we would like to approve them.

There could still be some sort of cheesy theme, which we're working on.

Anyway, feel free to offer suggestions here now.

I suggest elephants.

Sold! To the highest bidder.

Sweet. If we use elephants, can we (okay, I, there isn't really a we) chaperone? Hell, could we chaperone anyway? We have plenty of time to... use.

The elephants can be the chaperones. That solves all our problems.

you're brilliant, you know that?

But I couldn't've done it without you.

what a team ^^

:cackles:

that was very eloquently put. I concur.

There was no other answer, really...

this is true. I have a bad habit of saying things that noone can really respond to. Very bad habit. *smacks fingers* Naughty.

It's okay. I forgive you. ;]

Then all is right in the world. :}

I keep wanting to get the last word in, but I think it'll be impossible.

So you win. I forfeit. :}

This really has nothing to do with a prom at all, but since I'm here, I'm going to shamelessly usurp this thread . . . did you still want to do an Epic Duel? 'Cause Inigo's itching to draw that sword on somebody ;).

I do like the idea of an Epic Duel (tm), actually. But wouldn't we need a reason? :} Although I really like the idea of, er, 'revolutionizing the world,' in Anthy parlance...

Well, lessee. Inigo is less than kindly disposed towards Todd anyways, having basically been hired to guard Liz against him. And now everyone's telling him not to go after the person who's really hurting Liz, which is Desire. He wants to take it out on somebody - so if Todd gives him any little reason to be annoyed at him - you know, being mean to anyone, saying anything that could be construed as insulting to Liz, anything - Inigo would be pretty ready to snap . . .

The only thing is that now Anthy is gone, and hence unable either to witness our Epic Duel, or to become engaged to Todd. :( Alas. But there is the George complication . . .

Welp, Anthy will be back in a week or so, ne? Although that doesn't necessarily matter. Also, at least in Utena, being engaged to the Rose Bride isn't necessarily like having a relationship with her.

But we might be able to arrange something. 'Cept I still wonder, I mean - Todd likes guns. He doesn't use swords. :}

I know, but it seems a bit awkward to engage her to you without her even being here, relationship or no . . . :p

As I said the other night, I'm perfectly willing to have Inigo wounded in a Dastardy Underhanded Move from Todd and his gun ;). Inigo is not terribly bright. He'd be totally caught by it.

Oh, I wouldn't engage myself to Anthy without going through it with her...I didn't mean that. :}

Hmm, Dastardly Underhanded Moves (tm)! Well, Todd doesn't have his rifle here yet, but he could always substitute a cool-ass dueling pistol from the bar. Okay, you've convinced me, because you don't mind being wounded. :gryns:

Hey, it's all in a good cause. :p Long as he doesn't end up dead. I like my Inigo.

So should we wait for Anthy to return, or give up on the Anthy Connection and do this sooner (sad though that would be)? Totally up to you.

Welp, we could wait and see if anything arises before she returns to merit doing it sooner. If not, then I say we wait, and then bug her. :}

Sounds good. :) Night!

Penny wants to go to prom, She wants to know if there will be a band there. I like the elephants idea but oh oh maybe it could be an Arabian Nights theme with desert decorations and papier mache camels and a casbah with punch... ooh ooh

I'm glad to see somebody likes it. :}

Todd's telling me he kind of likes the Arabian Nights theme. But, this all depends on whether or not we even have one, I guess.

You can't just suggest such a great idea and then not do it. :P Get Penny all excited and then nothing happens. I see how you are.

well if you want a really cheesy prom theme there is always some kind of under the sea thing. The Arabian Nights theme would be fun.

You'll notice in the other thread, though, that a couple of people had problems with it. :/ So I really don't know what to do! Waaaaah!

Damn, how silly to be opposed to such a small thing. Oh well... annoying though the rude comments were you just can't please all the people all the time. I thought it was a great idea though./ Maybe it was saying the word 'prom'?

I think the word 'prom' had oodles to do with it, in fact.

But I still like the idea of arranging something for the kids. Maybe I'll talk to the mods about it.

Good, I didn't precisely lik my prom but I think it would be a fun idea, some kind of singles mixer, or something but that might not fly either...

Ooh, good idea. Any way it could take place next weekend (or later) when I might have the internet and time? *g* 'Cos Anthy and Michael would both like to go, in that strange "I would rather kill myself but my mun says I have to" sort of way.

Also, regarding the Inigo thread, omfg that would be hilarious and sick and scary, so feel free to do the Anthy Connection. (Though I'd rather you wait. Want to see this. :D)

Sure, we can probably hold off until next weekend. Maybe build up the suspense that way. (Anthy and Michael are both teenages, yes?)

I have a feeling we should wait til you're back to do an Anthy connection, because, y'know, really, how is Todd going to be engaged to Anthy otherwise? :}

(Yeah, both teenagers, or in teenage-looking bodies, whatever.)

Anyway. I am back, sort of. Tomorrow I'm going on a plane, and then there'll be orientation (*g*) but I should have some time this weekend. Hope I will, anyway.

Ooh, going to do something cool I hope? (Sounds school-ish?)

At the very least, even if we can't RP this stuff out yet, maybe we can talk about it on AIM or something. Good to have you back, however briefly. :}

Starting college. :D I don't really have any idea how much free time I'll have, and how much of it I'll actually spend on the computer, but it wouldn't take too much to do this. :-) And it's a weekend. So.

Are you kidding? I did more roleplaying in college than any other time in my life! But, uh, I'm a slacker, so I digress.... :gryns:

I'll find that thread where the challenging happened and send it your way.

Well, orientation is a bit heavily scheduled. Tomorrow I won't have internet access, probably, and Saturday I'm not free till about nine thirty, and will probably be getting to know my roommate. I just hope Sunday they leave us alone for a while.

Whoo, challenging. *waits*

Hee hee hee - I am envisioning cheesy decorations, silly dancing in formals, and the squid tapping its tentacles to the beat of the music.

Yeah, prom as a concept would be very foreign to many of the teens here, but a Ball would fit right in. HP universe characters have had a Yule Ball, after all, and it was a big to do.

You do realize that the adults will crash it if you try to keep them from it. Cos our characters? Not so much with the rule following, for the most part. Which would be funny in and of itself, and possibly cause some good plot development. And chaos.

Tom won't let Door out of his sight (erm, unless it's held on his puppeteer's class night) and he's 27, so definitely not a teen anymore. Bet he could intimidate Todd into being named a chaperone. :P

You bring up some good points. (BTW, how old is Door? Because it would probably be fine if the teenagers brought older dates, much like you can do at a prom or formal.)

I personally like the idea of calling it a 'formal,' because a ball would sound too stuffy to an American teen like Todd, while a prom would confuse someone like Ginny. And it's totally fine for the adults to try and crash, because I agree with you, it'd be funny and it would cause chaos. :}

Would you like to help us develop this?

Door is, ahem, 17 - which is legal age in England! And besides that, she's a very old soul. And Tom's only 10 years older. So, um, yeah. :P

OC: I could help, but my time will be very limited soon.

IC: I don't think Tom would have a clue what to do. Oh, and they won't even be back 'til the 24th, so it might be a moot issue for the two.

To be honest, I really like the idea of a formal night. And not just for te younger ones, but for the adults as well. It could be a way for all the characters to try and relax after all the shit that happened in the bar recently.

And by relax I mean That chaos will ensue and someone will more than likely get hurt.

Actually, other than the fact that I like the idea of there being something like a gathering just for the younger characters, I also suggested it because I thought it might get TOO huge if everyone was invited. A little exclusivity doesn't have to be a bad thing. 'Sides, like Tom's players said, the adults could crash it - which I think would be hilarious.

would be very funny!

Tim is so up for that.

Hmmm . . . the complainers will likely quiet down a bit if you make a couple changes - call it a formal or something, but not a prom - I have to agree, it has the same negative connotations with me as 'Gym Class'. Also, let more people in, not just teens. Smooth things out, and Snow will even volunteer as a chaparone.

I really hate this idea.

why?

I'm a big introvert. I didn't go to any of my hs proms or things. And Holden would find it all very phony and stay away.
