Summer Dance/Gala Event | Evening | Saturday | June 19

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

As the sun started to set, the lights officially came on at the new community center! The building was now complete, its walls gleaming and solid in the waning light. As people began to arrive, they would notice decorations lining the tiled and bright corridors, leading them towards the large auditorium where the dance was being held.

Once inside the auditorium, there were more decorations. Streamers in the colors of summer hung from the rafters and painted the walls. There were fresh flowers in every corner and on every table, bringing fragrance and festiveness to the room. The lights were low in the auditorium, dimmed to provide both mood and setting to this party in the evening.

There were several long tables stocked full with foods of all kinds and there was even a bar with an expert bartender who'd be happy to serve you. Tips were welcome but not mandatory. Large speakers hung in the corners of the room, installed to provide the latest and greatest sound system to the new building.

Everything was completed, everything was ready so it was time to enjoy yourselves!

Arrive [Summer Dance 06/19]

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

Arrive in style with a date on your arm or as a slamming single! Take a look around the new center or just gaze lovingly at your date!

Peter was fashionably late, dressed up nice in a shirt and tie. He'd definitely find Claudia for a dance later. But he wasn't ruling out finding Scully or Emma for a dance as well.

Helen showed up, a little late and not certain about the whole dance thing still, but she was here and looking quite nice.

"So this is what you've been working on?" Edmund asked.

Hoshi wasn't feeling in a particularly festive mood, but she was still proud to say that she had worked on building the new center. So she pulled out one a formal dress she hadn't worn in a while and made a fashionably late entrance.

Tim arrived alone in a tie and jacket.

After much tossing of closets and whining about "stupid sports" and "stupid weirdness wasting a whole day," Momoko had managed to find a dress in time for the dance, but not a date. So she was a totally slamming single, thank you.

Despite having lied said once that wearing the same dress to more than one dance was against the law, Francine didn't think it counted when the previous dance was a) in another dimension, and b) called on account of hostage situation.

Thus, after sneaking up to 505 to change... and possibly getting distracted for a while... she arrived at the new community center wearing the pink, sparkly dress she'd bought in New Gotham. The recyclable shopping bag full of presents didn't entirely match, but pfft.

Food/Mingling [Summer Dance 06/19]

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

There's long tables with all sorts of food on them and a bar to get you something to wet your whistle! There's also plenty of room to find your friends, new and old, to chat with and laugh with!

Peter was going to nibble a bit at the snack food while he scoped out to see if any of the ladies he knew were around.

Alex had wandered out of the dark corners at some point and was now firmly set up near the bar, drink in hand. Dances need bars more often.

Rosalind was near the food now, feeling a bit famished after dancing and talking for a while.

And the food was really quite good.

Lindsay eventually left the shadowy corners, taking Alex's advice to stop by the bar. A bar was just another reason this was better than the dances back home.

Alex was still at the dance, thoroughly enjoying herself. She had another drink in hand and was just mingling and watching the festivities.

Tim filled up a plate with food, helped himself to a drink (non-alcoholic) and looked around for people he recognized.

Momoko was, of course, to be found near the food. She was enjoying a small piece of cake and a glass of sparkling cider as she people watched. Had the whole island shown up at this event?

Awesome!

In between dances, Edmund took a breather near the food table. He watched the crowd, spotting the faces he knew and following where they went and who they were dancing with. People watching was a good pastime.

Shadowy Corners [Summer Dance 06/19]

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

No dance would be complete without the requisite shadowy corners to hide in for those less inclined to get out there and mingle!

At some point, Hannibal had found a comfortable spot against the wall to take a break from the food and the mingling. Dances were fun but they could wear him out pretty easily.

He was getting old.

Bruce had moved towards a shadowy corner for a good portion of the night. He blended in quite well due to afkness.

Ladies Room [Summer Dance 06/19]

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

Have a need to powder your nose? This ladies room is large and luxurious!

Mens Room [Summer Dance 06/19]

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

Have a need to psych yourself up? The mens room is just as large and luxurious!
