Valentine's Day Dance | Town Hall | Saturday Evening [8pm on]

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

As Desperation Day dances went, this was probably not the most tacky ever.  Of course given that it was Desperation Day, so tacky really went with the territory.

There was glitter, oh, was there ever glitter in a multitude of sparkly colours.  But even more so, it seemed that the decorators had taken the 'Hearts Afire' theme literally as large cut out hearts adorned the walls.  Each with a tissue paper 'flame' bursting from the top of it.  Streamers in all shades of pink twisted across the ceiling, forming almost a canopy.  Which hopefully would not be literally set afire.  The Fire Department would probably disapprove of that. Also a lot of people's dresses would be ruined.

Let's stay away from any literal fire, okay, guys?

[Up early for timezones.  Wait for the OCD or I will STAB YOU, OKAY? is up! And thre'll be a second post up later if this one gets insanely large (well, hell, why even say 'if')]

Joan arrived on Liir's arm, her hair down and curled and her new dress (http://www.bluefly.com/ABS-by-Allen-Schwartz-mauve-stretch-sateen-beaded-strap-dress/cat20110/306563201/detail.fly) not doing much to keep her warm.

She took in the decorations with a raised eyebrow. "Huh... interesting theme."

"...I suppose 'fires of Hell' is an interesting choice," he admitted, fixing his suit (http://bananarepublic.gap.com/Asset_Archive/BRWeb/Assets/Product/619/619674/main/br619674-00p01v01.jpg) just a little.

"It can certainly feel like that."

"Stop fussing," she said. "You look very nice."

Re: Arrival/Mingling

He shrugged.

"I'm still not used to these suits," he admitted with a little smile.

"At least you don't have to wear panty hose?" she offered. "Although I'm guessing ties are just as bad."

Re: Arrival/Mingling

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Hose would be normal enough," he said with a shrug, "and I actually prefer cravats. They're much easier."

"You should have worn one of those then," Joan said, squeezing his hand. "I'm sure you would have looked nice in that as well."

"I'm trying to make sure I look suitable as your match," he said with a bow to her.

"Though I fear I fall far short of equaling how lovely you look tonight."

Joan's cheeks flushed a little but she smiled. "I think you'd look handsome no matter what you wore."

Re: Arrival/Mingling

"Thank you," which was... good for him, really. He was terrible at taking compliments.

"Was there anything you wanted to do tonight?"

Re: Arrival/Mingling

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

"Nothing more specific than being here with you," she said. "I wouldn't mind dancing but it's fine if you don't want to."

Re: Arrival/Mingling

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He raised an eyebrow.

"Go to a dance and not dance? It doesn't make much sense."

Re: Arrival/Mingling

"Some boys don't like to dance," Joan said.

Re: Arrival/Mingling

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"And I cannot count myself among them," he said with a tilt of his head.

"Dancing was one of the nicest experiences I had when I first came here."

Re: Arrival/Mingling

"Well, in that case, lead the way to the dance floor," Joan said.
