THE BALL

[mouselikeyoda.livejournal.com]

[Today is the day of the ball, and as such the entry to the Grand Ball Room is wide open, a sound of music echoing through the halls. Not too far away are signs pointing to the general area, intended to help those who are new as well as remind those who are interested.

The room itself seems incredibly clean, thanks to a few enchanted brooms, some of which are still there to clean up any messes from the food. Speaking of food, there is a large table with many delicious meals to choose from, from classy foods to simpler snacks such as chips and even a bit of treats for the children and others who enjoy sweets. And of course, beverages are present, such as punch, water, soft drinks, and even a bit of wine for the adults. Off to the side is an ice box, which may in fact contain sea salt ice cream.

Similar to the last ball, there is a comfortable area set off to the side for those who would rather relax, maybe take a break from dancing. It consists of comfortable chairs and couches for the guests, and even smaller tables for beverages.

Of course, the main attraction is the dance floor itself, which is dimly lit by a chandelier and the occasional candles here and there. The aforementioned music at the moment is classical, a sort of waltz and seems to be coming from no apparent source-- but one may notice somewhere in the ball room that Mickey himself is present, dressed not only in proper masquerade attire, but also with a familiar hat.

Anyone is welcome to enjoy the ball. However, if trouble should arise Mickey does have a Keyblade and would be more than willing to intervene; this is meant for enjoyment, not violence.]

[Sora's going the plain route tonight, with a regular black tux and a simple white mask. it's not about who sees him anyway, in his opinion, it's who he's waiting to see.]

*Kairi comes in dressed her most fabulous (http://www.betseyjohnson.com/store/productimages/regular/6709_black_l.jpg) and wearing a sequined white mask, her long red hair tied in a topknot; she's looking around nervously, Sora~*

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

[Sora's just as nervous, if not more -- he just kind of stands there in awe before it occurs to him to actually approach. he has a flower for her hair, too. <3]

[oath-kept.livejournal.com]

*she smiles brilliantly and doesn't really know what to do with her hands*

H-Hi. You look really... really nice, Sora.

*laughs a little*

Sorry, I don't know why I'm so nervous.

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

[his own laughter is pretty nervous, although having Kairi admit it makes him feel a bit more comfortable.]

Looks like we both are, then. Ah .. Here.

[sort of .. motions at her with the flower, so he can put it in her hair give it to her.]

[oath-kept.livejournal.com]

*she comes closer and takes the flower with a smile, and kind of wonders what to do with it -- you might have to put it in her hair after all!*

Well, we shouldn't be! Let's have fun and not worry.

*leans forward and gives you a little peck on the cheek*

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

[his hand moves on its own, and in a moment of unexpected suave, he takes the flower from her and gently tucks it behind her ear. Sora almost looks surprised with himself, but he catches it, and breaks into a grin.]

Alright. Let's!

[offers his arm!]

[oath-kept.livejournal.com]

*is appropriately swept off her feet! and twines her arm with his and moves towards the dance floor, her black heels clicking*

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

[Sora probably isn't quite the smoothest dancer as his dad, but he's picked up on a lot over the years -- so he easily leads her right into the beat, hand rested on her waist.]

... Sorry in advance if I step on your feet.

[oath-kept.livejournal.com]

*Kairi doesn't mind, and holds your hand with one of her gloved ones*

No worries. I'm sure you're better than you think. You're Sora, afterall.

*smiles and easily falls into the rhythm*

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

[congratulations, Kairi, you've made him blush! he tries to hide his face a little, but it's sort of difficult when they're so close together.]

[oath-kept.livejournal.com]

*she thinks you're really cute and sweet, and just laughs a little bit*

Which hall do you live on?

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

[and he likes to hear her laugh -- he might be trying out lame jokes on her later, just to test the waters.]

I live in one of the big hallways down towards the other side. What about you?

[oath-kept.livejournal.com]

*she would not be against that~*

Oh, I live on the narrow-ish one on the main drag. Next-door to Riku. Ah, the uh, girl one. Maybe you would like to... come over? I made a cake. It's... ah, a boxed cake, but it's a lemon one!

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

[frowns so slight it's hardly noticeable at mention of girlyku -- in their last encounter he was sort of a flesh eating zombie -- but that thought is quickly drowned out by another slight blush.]

Sure, I'd -- I'd love to.

[oath-kept.livejournal.com]

*smiles happily*

Maybe whenever we get bored of looking pretty here~! My room isn't very decorated just yet though. There isn't much to do.

*is kind of blushy-face, too; she's a kind of tomboy-ish girl still, and you might have to stop her from leading the dance!*

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

That's alright. I think I'd be happy anywhere you took me.

[he notices that! he'll go ahead and let her lead for a little bit, then, looking faintly amused.]

[oath-kept.livejournal.com]

*you're racking up suave points, buddy*

This is kind of fun... to get out. Before I got here, I was away at college. So I've just been cooped up... studying.

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

[he's probably gonna hit max suave capacity pretty soon!]

I know how you feel. I always hated studying .. I can't sit still and read for very long.

[oath-kept.livejournal.com]

*well that's okay!*

Oh, well I love studying! It's just... there's nothing else to do.

*someone hasn't explored very much*

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

[pulls her a little closer, gently taking back the lead.]

Really? I'd be willing to show you the stuff I like to do .. Only if you want to though, I mean.

[oath-kept.livejournal.com]

*beams*

I'd love to! What kinds of things are there to do? All I've really seen is the library, the kitchen... and the closets.

*laughs*

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

Well, I like to go swimming in the beach room .. There's a room that has all sorts of different types of music to listen to .. Really, if there's something you want to do, there's probably a room to do it in.

[oath-kept.livejournal.com]

Are you kidding me? I love to swim! Back home, I had a swimming pool. It was the best. I wanna go swimming!

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

Right now, you mean? We've only just started dancing!

[he's teasing her a little bit, there.]
