Valentine’s dances were traditionally non-traditional on Fandom and this one was no exception—if, perhaps, rather more romantic than some years had been.

Across the ceiling and thick enough to hide the ceiling itself, streamers had been draped in dark blue to represent the night sky, and from that hung lanterns. They were rather large for ‘stars’ but the room was big enough to allow for that. Flowers everywhere—but not the traditional roses, rather there were water lilies adorning each table in elegant dishes that were filled with just enough water to allow the lilies to float. Bamboo and acacia were set by the walls, giving the illusion of being out in the open, and hibiscus and jasmine scented the air.

A fountain was running, letting the sound of water flow as an undercurrent to the decorations, and the heat was turned up. It wasn’t quite the same as a real tropical paradise, but the Student Council had tried.

Welcome to ‘An Evening in Bali’, where winter was nothing but a dream.

The dolphins still leapt toward the moon from the wall, the streamers still sparkled, but the ice sculptures were drippier and the punch had probably been ... enriched by now.

Homecoming continued. And, in just a moment, the Homecoming Court would be announced.

Somehow, the serious thought and hard work of Student Council had produced "dolphins in space" as a homecoming theme. So there was a giant mural affixed to one wall, and silver and blue metallic streamers hung throughout the gym. Ice sculptures of dolphins stood proudly on the food table, and the lighting had been done so it resembled starlight.

There was plenty of food, (nonalcoholic) drink, a dance floor, and space for people who liked dark corners to hide out in them. The scene was set for a perfect homecoming.

Perfect for Fandom, anyhow.

As the sun started to go down, the party was only just getting started. The Fandom Community Center was set up and well-lit to receive this weekend's guests. The bar was open and there were nibblies and appetizers on offer all evening. Music was playing most of the night, but not loud enough to hamper conversation. Welcome to the Parents Weekend Mixer, for anyone who wanted to stop in and share in some good company and good cheer!

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!

As the night went on, an assortment of prom favours were replacing the masks on the table just inside the tent. Everyone was free to take a picture frame and disposable camera to record their own Prom memories. Also were shot glasses with the Fandom High gremlin on them. Such things happened when Dean Stinson was the Student Council advisor.

The punch was thoroughly spiked by now, but the dessert table had been refilled o soaking up all that alcohol was a definite possibility. The music would still be playing for a few hours for all to get in as much dancing and time to be with their friends as they wanted.

And in just a moment, Dean Stinson was going to announce the Prom Court.

Just on the other side of the Causeway, the weather was cool, but in Fandom, a beautiful, warm nearly-summer evening welcomed Fandom's seniors and juniors to their Prom.

A large tent open on one side had been erected in the center of the park. Garlands of small white lights entwined with greenery decorated the edges and roof of the tent, while two of the canvas sides were covered in large pictures of cherry blossoms and the middle had a wall-sized painting of a masquerade. Under the canopy were clusters of little chairs and tables along with the table of food and punch bowl.

Beyond the tent's open wall, a dance floor had been set up on the grass under the ~~conveniently~~ flowering trees. More fairy lights had been wound through the tree branches leaving the area softly lit in most areas. Torches were placed in a few clusters around the dance floor, making flickering areas of brighter light for people to congregate.

A photographer waited for his clients just beyond the dance floor with several backdrops of flowers or masquerades or, oddly, a lemur family to choose from.

The voting box for Prom King and Queen stood right at the entrance to the dance for those last-minute votes.

And, of course for Fandom's Masquerade, a table of elaborately decorated (or some more simple ones) waited for their new owners to simply slip them on and join the revelry.

[OOC: Weather modded with permission. The Prom is open to juniors, seniors, and their dates and definitely open to slowplay. Another post will be going up later this evening set for 10pm-midnight. Prom voting is open until 4pm EDST ~~Please to be waiting for the~~ OCD IS UP! (No thanks to LJ)]

The streamers were a little less twisted into a canopy now. Some were hanging down onto the dance floor now. The hearts were also looking a little ragged. Some had ripped, more were hanging upside down. Possibly like the hearts of some of the dance attendees.

And the punch was spiked. Don't forget that.

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?

The punch? Spiked. The corners? Still dark. The chaperones? Possibly drunk and possibly dancing more than the kids just to embarrass them. The court... soon to be announced.

What's that noise? Oh, that's just the homecoming dance, bitches! Get up in the hizzy!

...and rock the vote.

Town Hall was all decked out in harvest theme with this being so close to Halloween and all. Pumpkins and squash and random corn! The corn, people! Think of the corn! But please, for the love of all that is holy, don't allow your children near it. Especially not the creepy gingers.

There was plenty of food and punch--not yet spiked--set to the side of the spacious room. Which left plenty of space for the general mulling about that kids were so fond of these days. Or dancing. And even the occasional dark bits in which to lurk. Have a fun homecoming, kiiiiids and remember to vote!

The dance was still in full swing. It was still brightly decorated, the music was still pumping and the punch was completely spiked.

Have fun!

While the students had been completing their last finals, an NPC staff had been hard at work converting one of the empty warehouses into the site of tonight's dance. When the guests arrived this evening, they'd be greeted by a long yellow carpet, leading up to the open glass doors of the warehouse.

Once inside, they would find the space brightly decorated to celebrate the summer season. Gold drapes covered the walls, splashed liberally with glitter to make them sparkle in the low lights of the warehouse. Flowers were placed here and there, not overwhelming but definitely noticeable and fragrant. Images of beaches, palm trees, sunsets, sunrises, hammocks, and other various summer images were being projected on the walls randomly.

A long table consisting of food and drinks was along one wall, providing plenty of sustenance for everyone for their long night of fun. Dark corners could be found here and there, of course. There was music playing and a disco balls projecting light onto the dance floor.

It was time for the summer dance.

At some point in the evening, the prom court announcement was made.

After the court dance, the prom continued. Someone managed to spike the punch, there were still shadowy corners and the dance floor was still open to all. The chaperones were still there to keep an eye on things (and might be indulging in some spiked punch themselves).

[~~this is post #2! wait for the OCD or you'll get bit by a gremlin!~~ OCD up! OOC Note and First Post]

joan-notjane.livejournal.com

After last week's zombies and this week's gremlin bites, students should appreciate the normalcy of the prom this year.

There was a red carpet leading to the doors. When students entered, they would find that Town Hall had been transformed into a swanky ballroom, complete with the requisite photo opportunities, punch bowl, shadowy corners and dancing.

Chaperones were in attendance to ensure that nothing got out of hand, but Student Council was determined to give the students of Fandom one evening of being a normal high school student.

[~~wait for the OCD or zombies will get you~~ OCD done! OOC note here!]

So far disaster hadn't struck and it seems that the StuCo wasn't tempting fate with the choice of decor. Good thing. It would suck to have an invasion before everyone got lucky on Valentine's Day.

There was still plenty of food to eat, dances to be had and, hey, it looked like someone spiked the punch.

Arrivals to town hall would notice that the Student Council took a darker approach to the decorations this year. The colors of the streamers, balloons and table cloths were in shades of dark red and black. Instead of cut outs of hearts and pictures of cupid, there were broken mirrors hanging on the walls, open umbrellas scattered about the room, fake cobwebs on the wall and glittery cut outs of the number "13" hung everywhere.

You even had to walk under a huge ladder in order to get into the dance.

Sure, they were tempting fate by having a Friday the 13th themed dance but this was Fandom. What's the worst that could happen?

As the night went on, two things were inevitable: there would be an announcement of a homecoming court and there would be alcohol slipped into the punch, if not by students, then by nefarious little gremlins (all wearing cowboy hats; they appreciate a theme as well as anyone!). But the night; ah, the night continued on with the same air of festivity that it had started with, well into the evening.

Keeping with the Western theme, the town hall had been all decked out to call of the days of cowboys and cattle wrangling: strategically placed bales of straw, wagons and wagon wheels with the occasional extra axle, wood cutout of oxen and horses, and, of course, posted suggestions on how to avoid dying from dysentery. There was plenty of food and drink available, in the form of currently unspiked punch and ~~moddable~~ snacks, all on Westing Paper Products, in case anyone was wondering who helped supply things for the events. The dance floor was spacious, but still gave way to the usual dark corners.

Even though it was hardly Western, there was definitely no shortage of glitter all over the place.

There was also a very important table set up for homecoming court votes.

It was later in the evening; the dance went on.

[OCD is up!]

Not far from where the Skeleton Tea had been held earlier in the day, there was a tent that had been erected, with thiny, gauzy material and bone-like poles. ~~Not dirty.~~ The lights were soft as the evening grew darker, casting a welcoming, yet vaguely spooky illumination on the proceedings.

The proceedings of PROM.

One side of the tent was open, backing against a grove of trees; there were a few lights among them, but for the most part they offered shadowy nooks for anyone who wished to be a bit apart from the main action. The rest of the tent was enclosed, save for the entrance, and the same skeletons who'd worked the Tea earlier were at the refreshments table, ready and willing to serve any students or chaperones who approached. At one end of the table was the ballot box for prom court voting.

The music was just getting started, and the dance floor was yet to fill up, but regardless, Fandom High Prom 2008 was underway!

[~~Wait for~~ OCD is up! Have fun, everyone!]

stocksgrrl.livejournal.com

The party was still in full swing.

The dance floor was still hopping.

The punch was, miraculously, still un-spiked and un-crittered ~~that I've noticed~~.

Turtle knew that fountain was a good idea!

[[ Second verse, same as the first. The original post is still very, very active, but I'm tossing up the second to help avoid newer arrivals through the night from getting lost and to maybe help with lesser intrawebz ]]

stocksgrrl.livejournal.com

Arrivals to the town hall for the dance would find it decorated with darker, richer colors, from the draping streamers to the balloons scattered around to the runner on the snacks table. At the entrance, there was even a table with a variety of masks available for those who might not have brought their own, or were too damn lazy to get one, provided ever so graciously by Turtle & Canary.

And there wasn't a single speck of pink in the decorations. Nope. Not one. Turtle had made sure of it, even against the nefarious plottings of someone whose name may have rhymed with Peg Panning.

There was, however, still a lot of glitter. You could change the world, but you couldn't tempt fate.

Much of the glitter had fallen to the floor and the snowmen were starting to look a bit dingey but the music was still playing, the punch was still flowing and the greatest hits of Fandom past and presents weren't about to be stopped.

The first thing that might be noticed when students walked into the Town Hall was the towering stone troll statues that had been dragged in to grace the corners of the dance floor. It being Homecoming and a semi-formal dance, the trolls were decked out appropriately in hats, glitter, and togas. Fairy lights were strung across the ceiling, some twined with streamers and some dripping glitter and confetti across the dance floor.

The walls were decorated with blown up pictures of significant events at Fandom: Graduations, the school blowing up, the Christmas pageants, plays, carnivals, zombies, all the moments that make Fandom Fandom. Given a place of honour on the walls were a mock up of an exploding volcano, a massive gremlin in a bow tie, and, of course, the Stickbug flag.

Large lit up snowmen congregated around the punch bowl against a snowy backdrop and across the ballroom near the stage, there was a mural of large dinosaurs reaching up to enjoy a glittery streamer dinner. The wall of the door though had the biggest picture of all - a painting of the island at night from across the water.

As students dropped off their wraps, they were pointed to vote for Homecoming Court then encouraged to proceed into the ballroom.

The music is playing, the glitter is everywhere and outside the tent, the gondoliers are occasionally bursting into song.

Prom 2007 continues!

[~~please wait for OCD!~~ Have fun!!!!]

No matter what the weather was on the mainland, the weather over the Fandom had warmed up to a beautiful spring evening, just perfect for a night of dancing.

A large tent had been set up in the park and it glowed with the soft light of what seemed like a million small white lights. The path leading up to the tent crossed a small bridge and then split, one walkway leading up to the tent, the other leading to the pond where a small dock had been set up. Two gondolas were waiting to take anyone who wished to go on a ride around the pond.

Inside the tent, numerous colorful backdrops made it seem like the students had been transported to Saint Mark's Square. The only thing missing were the pigeons.

Off to one side stood a table with a box for the final votes for the Prom Court.

It was time for Prom 2007.

The dance was still jumping as the evening went on, and more and more people arrived...

[~~plz wait for ocd kthnx!~~ Okay, knock yourselves out in this post too! Um, not literally, of course.]

proudsidekick.livejournal.com

As everyone made their way into the Town Hall, they found the place decked out Valentine's style, with pink and red streamers, paper hearts, confetti, requisite amounts of glitter, and approximately 99 red balloons, give or take a few.

Tables were set up with food and drinks, and the dance floor was ready. All that was needed were party-goers.

[~~Please wait for OCD!~~ OCD is done, go have fun! This is the post for the first half of the dance - another post will go up later, once this one starts threatening to break browsers with comments.]

Some of the streamers have begun to fall down by now but overall the hall is still looking the same as it was two hours ago, only with more people

(Homecoming Part II is ~~CLOSED~~OPEN.)

threeweapons.livejournal.com

As students enter City Hall, they are greeted by the usual streamers, balloons, and confetti all in various shades of silver, grey, and white. The Hollywood and Vine intersection sign stands in the foyer. Vine points towards the coat check in while Hollywood points to the ballroom. Off to the side, students are reminded to vote for Homecoming court.

As students walk through the ballroom, they'd notice that the Walk of Fame has the names of the alumni as well as famous actors and actresses. One wall of the ballroom is taken up by a huge Hollywood sign and the LA cityscape is painted on the other.

The music is playing, the City Hall is still aglow, and some of the streamers are still up. The DVD players are still projecting 3D images of the cities. And streamers, glitter, candles, balloons, and lights are everywhere, including the students.

[ooc: Post is currently ~~closed.~~ open. ~~Wait for the music though.~~ We are good to go! Move at your own pace through the two posts and have fun!]

City Hall is aglow with the light from the torches. Streamers in blue and yellow line the way for students towards the ballroom. Inside, hangings and other decorations represent the Lost Cities. A working volcano stands in Krakatoa's corner. Seven DVD players are projecting 3D images of the cities as well. And streamers, glitter, candles, balloons, and lights are everywhere.

Prom has begun.

[ooc: ~~Wait for the OCD threads or suffer my wrath. Done! But please wait for the music threads to go up before dancing.~~ Prom II will be going up ~~in about two hours.~~ Later.]
