Overflow for Masq. Ball

[not_heavens_adam]

Who: Absolutely everyone
What: Masquerade~!
Where: The Golden Victory Club
When: Night of Saturday the 8th
Style: Whatever you want
Status: Open like the club's doors~

All day the Golden Victory club had been closed, the only people allowed in being the workers and helpers who were setting it up for the night's big event. Finally, at seven, the lights all turn on and the main doors open.

Leading up to the main doors is a red carpet walkway that will lead right into the main room. There, the usual club room is well illuminated with it's large bar at the back wall with plenty of drinks available for everyone. Along the walls, the club's chairs and some new loveseats are placed for anyone who would rather sit and socialize than stand or dance.

At the back, on either side of the large room, there are food tables with a wide selection, certain to please everyone. Along with these food tables are separate dessert tables. On their own table, there are three, large, cakes that anyone is welcome to dig into. (Although, they're just so pretty!)

In a few, strategic, locations there can be found baskets of masks just in case anyone needs one or wants to try and get one on a stubborn friend.

Lighthearted ball music and slow, peaceful songs lend to the atmosphere; loud enough to be heard and danced to, but soft enough that conversation is possible.

The hosts themselves, along with the staff of Temptationis Clementiae, are already there and in costume, as if welcoming their guests in for the festivities.

I know! It's so busy here!

*Selphie smiles, looking round at everybody dressed up so nicely*

You had any dances yet?

[tsundyne]

Mmhmm!

[...Which is a response to how busy it is, and whether she's had a dance, really.]

A lot, actually. I think everyone's dancing...

How about you?

[booyaka_boom]

Oh, really?

*Selphie smiles brightly at her friend, pleased that she's been busy, and popular - she wouldn't expect anything else, really*

Hmm...just one. My friend Squall, from back home.

*She scooped some cake into her mouth - one dance from someone she already knew didn't make her evening especially successful*

[tsundyne]

[...The same world as Squall? Really...

She hadn't known that. Or more likely, she'd forgotten it. Squall's not much of a talker; she's a little surprised, and amused.]

Wow. He doesn't seem like the dancing type to me... is he any good?

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie burst out laughing at that, pleased too to hear that two of her friends know one another*

He never used to. We had a bunch of dances at school, but well...he's just Squall. There was a certain lady helped him get out of his funk, and she taught him to dance super well!

[tsundyne]

[She doesn't know him super well, but enough to point out something like this. ...And she can even take a guess as to who she might be talking about.

Not that she knows her super well, either.]

Was it Rinoa?

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie giggles and nods her head, stabbing at her cake as she does so*

Uh huh! So you know her too?

It's obvious they're in love, right?

*Ah, Selphie, so excitable where romance is concerned*

[tsundyne]

[At that, she has to laugh, thinking back on the broadcast she'd seen about Squall's party. She almost feels bad, that she ended up not going . . .]

I dunno. But she was awfully excited about throwing a birthday party for him.

[Selphie can be excited enough for all of them, though.]

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie nods and smiles, thinking about that before digging into her cake. While she chews, her eyes open wide and she stares at Yukari*

Oh my... this cake is so amazing!~~

[tsundyne]

[. . . Oh, right. At that, Yukari's eyes light up, as if she's just remembered the cake in front of her. And she tries some, too.

There aren't even any words at first. Just a highly contented "Mmm" sound.]

It's about as delicious as it looks! [Chocolate is her weakness forever--] I wonder if we could take some home . . .

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie takes another huge bite of the cake before glancing around to where the table is with the rest of the cake*

Hmm... I guess there's enough...

[tsundyne]

[Hmmm.

Her gaze follows Selphie's, as she takes another idle bite. There does seem to be a lot of it, doesn't there? But she shouldn't be greedy.]

Well, I don't worry about it for now.

[booyaka_boom]

People are too busy dancing and stuff to be eating all the cake, so I guess it's okay to have as much as she likes!

*She certainly seems to be having more success with the food than the dancing, anyway*

[tsundyne]

Exactly!

[. . . Well, sure. She isn't going to deny a perfectly good excuse if Selphie's going to just hand it to her. So she happily accepts, and it doesn't take her long to finish her cake after that.]

And speaking of that-- were you planning on going back out?

[Onto the dance floor. Squall's not the only one who would love a dance with her, after all!]

[booyaka_boom]

*Neither does Selphie - not like it's a cake eating competition or something. She thinks about that, then takes a napkin to dab at her mouth - being super polite since she's all dressed up*

Oh... I don't think so... Are you?

[tsundyne]

[Ah. At her answer, Yukari changes her expression a bit. Where she'd previously looked enthused, she looks a bit more nonchalant.]

Mm, I'm not really sure. I . . . think it got a little too crowded for me.

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie tilted her head at her friend, finally putting down her fork, and she gave a disapproving shake of her head*

But why? I thought you had fun dancing...

[tsundyne]

. . . Well, I was! But it's harder to actually dance if there are too many people, right?

[Shh, it's totally logical.]

[booyaka_boom]

R--iighht.

*Selphie looks at her friend, then out at the dance floor. To be fair, it wasn't like it was a rave or anything with everyone squished together*

Not wanna go dance again with one of your guys?

[tsundyne]

[That tone of voice seriously gives off the vibe that Selphie's teasing her. Which makes her fold her arms, as she turns away.]

Don't be ridiculous. I don't have any "guys."

[Pffft girl, please.]

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie leans closer to Yukari and tilts her head, grinning and teasing still*

Really? You don't wanna go dance another dance with someone you were with before...?

[tsundyne]

E- Even if I did, it's not like I own them. I'm sure they have plenty of other girls to dance with.

[She sees that teasing look out of the corner of her eye. Which is why she's having increasingly more trouble maintaining eye contact with her.

Heh. The only "guy" Selphie could really get her flustered about is gone, anyway. She wonders if she even remembers him . . .]

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie smiles at Yukari then sits back on her chair, turning her head to look round the whole of the room*

Okay... I guess they do.

[tsundyne]

[Oh good, she backed off.

Hehe . . . well, that smile looks nice on her tonight, she has to admit. So despite how flushed Yukari felt just a moment ago, she can't help but smile, too.

By now, they've both finished their cake slices, too. So at least that'd give her another topic to segue into.]

Want me to toss that out?

[Yukari gestures to the empty paper plate in front of Selphie, which is not unlike her own that's in front of her . . .]

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie nods and moves out the way to allow Yukari to pick up the plate*

Thanks!

*She glances out over the dancefloor, wondering briefly if she could give it another try. But instead she brushes some crumbs from her dress and begins to stand up*

I hope they do another ball soon...I kinda like this dress.
