A formal dance.

[pendragon]

WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: The Atrium, Haven's Hub.
WHEN: Today! The dance will go on from the late afternoon until the early hours of the morning.
WHAT: Have your top hat and cane? This is a formal ball. The origination is a drunken Vandal and battle-worn Saber.
WARNINGS: Could be anything from bar fights to drunken swearing to people tripping over their own feet or people making out in a corner.

Welcome to the dance!      The Atrium will have its doors open in the late evening. For the first two hours, Vandal and Drift will be acting as receptionist and bouncer. After that, the doors close. At the reception desk, you will be required to sign your name and also hand over any weapons that you are carrying. (Within the building there is an inhibitor placed. No one will be able to use any weaponry on their person.)      The Atrium is decorated in royal purple and black, with accents of white and pearl. The decorations are standard fair for a ball. There's hanging draperies, table clothes, and colored lighting. Towards the outside of the circular Atrium, everyone will be under a glowing white light. Towards the middle of the dance floor, there is a much softer lavender that illuminates the immediate area.      Vandal and Saber organized and planned, and then helped with decorations. They will also be over seeing the event throughout the entire night. Vandal will be handling the reception desk and registration. We have Frenzy as our DJ in the Atrium, and Miko will be playing electric guitar for those who decide to visit the bar. Saber, Ironhide, and McCrane will be acting as security. They would be the best to contact should you have any.. safety concerns. Our bouncer, Drift, will be "on call" for security once his primary assignment is done. Kay organized and lead the decorating, and Ravage and McCrane helped with placing them. Melan and Joe gathered needed materials. Skidaddle is the one to blame for having the supply of available hats at the doors for any Cybertronian who tries to get past the one piece of attire rule.      Feel free to post in any sub-forum area you think your character would be present in (with or without an opening post), or merely tag others. Prose or action-spam is okay (and you may want to include this in your initial posts if you want others to tag you). Bonus: include links to garments your character may be wearing. This is entirely up to you! Have fun!      Make sure to add your character to the tags! (That's the registry.)

[Oh. Oh she is. You can't stop her once she gets an idea in her head.]

I wouldn't have asked if I didn't!

[wrex_it_krogan]

[Groaaan.]

Can I ask why you want this?

[littlecrowgirl]

[She stops for a minute, giving him the biggest smile she can muster.]

Tonight's a night where you can have fun. Do anything. Are you really going to pass it up?

After the centipedes, I think we deserve something like this. Something silly and fun.

[wrex_it_krogan]

Killing centipedes was fun to me.

[Siiiigh.]

Let's get it over with.

[Might as well lead the way.]

[littlecrowgirl]

I knew you'd see reason sooner or later!

[She continues to pull him out onto the floor, holding his giant hands in hers.]

Okay. Do you know how to dance? I can teach you.

[wrex_it_krogan]

I just said, I don't know how to dance.

[Why is this human teaching him. He searches, hoping Shepard or Garrus aren't seeing this.]

[littlecrowgirl]

C'mon.

[She takes those hands, putting one of them on her shoulder and the other around her waist.]

This is how you dance. Just don't crush me.

[wrex_it_krogan]

[Wrex waddles out onto the dance floor. He's never felt so out of his element before now.]

Do I just move around holding you like this?

[littlecrowgirl]

That's the gist of it!

[She starts to help him, trying to at least get him to lead. It's just a simple waltz.]

Mirror my movements, okay?

[wrex_it_krogan]

Whatever you say.

[He keeps looking over his shoulder to see if Shepard caught anything.

It's a little awkward at first, but Wrex eventually has a little grasp on it. But trust him that this is going to be a slow waltz. Don't expect any miracles, Kay.]

[spacerhero]

[Keep wishing, mister. She may be drunk, but between robot legs your commander is watching you with great amusement. She'll stay out of it for now, though.]

[littlecrowgirl]

What did I tell ya? You're a natural!

[She actually never said that, but okay. Either way, you've made her one happy little girl tonight, Wrex.

Who cares if Shep's watching you right now. You're DANCING more graceful than any other Krogan.]

[wrex_it_krogan]

I guess.

[If any other krogan saw him, they'd kill him. Thankfully none were here. The krogan just continues to slowdance...no he isn't enjoying it. It's just a thing, ok?]
