Valentines Dance, Town Hall, Saturday Evening

The town hall had been transformed into a ballroom fit for a queen (and/or king. Or multiples thereof). The ceiling was resplendent in ribbons of royal purple, gold and white, and castle murals adorned the walls.

As they entered, tonight's guests were offered their choice of crown or tiara. Over by the photographer who doesn't have a thread because that's what happens when you post at 6:30 in the morning, there was a pair of thrones set up to really complete the theme.

And- of course there was glitter. Really, people, did you even need to ask?

Anyway, the doors were open, the punch was as of yet unspiked... welcome to your 2012 Valentines Ball, Fandom!

[ooc: ocd up! up early for timezones and because i was awake already anyway. second post will go up later if/when it's needed! here, have some links for great threading justice: arrival/mingling / punch and food / shadowy corners / chaperones / dance floor / ooc ]

Rilla felt bound as a member of the student council to make sure everyone was having a good time, even the anti-social people hiding in shadows.

She tilted her head to get a better look at what was on the top of his head. "Did we buy those?" she asked, pointing to his crown. "I don't remember them."

The shadows were the best place to be, Rilla!

"Not at all," Loki replied, hand going up to touch the small crown. "It is mine."

Ooooh, royalty.

Rilla perked up visibly. "It's quite becoming."

But of course! Then again, who wasn't royalty in Asgard? Odin, keep it in your pants for once.

"Do you think?" he asked, cheeks turning red for reasons utterly beyond his comprehension. "Truly?"

"Very much so," Rilla said, nodding. "Are you a...prince, then?"
abitlowkey: (hee)

"Of sorts," Loki replied with a quick smile. "My name is Loki."

"I'm Miss Blythe," Rilla replied with a tiny curtsey. She didn't want to appear to be impolite. "How can you be a prince of sorts?" She gasped. "Were you disinherited?"

So she read a lot of romance novels about slightly tarnished royalty.

"Adopted," he replied, bowing in turn. Because manners were still somewhere in his brain. Buried deep. "And then disinherited, Miss Blythe. The fickle nature of gods."

Or, you know, them being smart about never letting Loki near the throne ever again.

Rilla's mouth pursed in a tiny frown at the plural for God but she wasn't going to be openly rude to royalty.

...who wasn't Karla. Karla was a special case.

"Is that what brought you to Fandom, then?"
abitlowkey: (smiiiiirk)

For so many things, no doubt.

"My brother felt it would be for the best that I spend time learning as a normal boy would," Loki replied, omitting the whole 'plus, people want me dead' part. Because that made for a conversation killer. "And yourself, Miss Blythe? You are far more polite than your classmates."

ALEX.

"Well, I'm from a slightly different time," Rilla said. "Manners still matter in 1915."
abitlowkey: (about to lie to you)

"I have been told that manners matter all the time." Possibly due to his own poor manners.

"So have I!" Rilla exclaimed. "And yet people here are...not as well versed in them."

"Have you tried to instruct them?" Because that couldn't end badly.

"I have!"

It's gone over so well. Really.

"Some took it better than others."
abitlowkey: (hee)

"I am certain those who did not will be all for the worse in the long run," Loki assured her sweetly.

"That's what I've told them," Rilla said with a nod. She glanced down at her feet, then looked up at him and said, "I know this is terribly forward, but would you like to dance?"
abitlowkey: (not in the face!)

Loki's eyes went wide for a moment with genuine surprise. "A dance? I could see no harm in it..."

Oh, if only you could...

Rilla beamed at him. "Wonderful!"
