kingdomdressing | THE BALL

[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.]

Oh, because he doesn't like me. At least, not back home.

That's hard to imagine.

[Mostly because she can't imagine the Queen really not liking many people. Villains aside.]

Well... I may or may not have given Riku a bad name as a thief on some worlds.

*>_> siiiiip mmm delicious punch*

You've told me about that.

[Indeed.]

Right. I thought I did. I suppose I just have a fear of the King kicking my ass.

It's a possibility.

Hey! You're supposed to be on my side and not want my ass to get kicked by the King!

I meant it's a possibility that you have a fear, but that works. And I don't know, that might be entertaining.

[Takes a sip to hide her smirk.]

*cannot flails with a cup of punch in his hand :/*

It would not be entertaining!

Much.

[Innocently looking around, what.]

Not at all!

I'm kidding.

[Shakes her head.]

*peeeeeeeeers at you*

... if this is you loosening up, I'm not sure I like it. You tease more.

[Blinks at him.]

Really.

*bursts out laughing*

You're too serious, Riku-pi. It's funny.

[Actually smiles. Clearly the world is ending.]

Glad you're amused.

*or that wasn't punch you're drinking*

Well, if I can't kick the asses of party crashers, I have to amuse myself somehow.

[...if he gave her something with alcohol--]

Were you wanting a fight?

*pleading the fifth!*

Well, no. But it would be more exciting. Being all tense and stuff isn't fun.

[Really.]

If you say so. You can always go dance or something if you're that bored.

*so very honest*

... okay! Let's dance, Riku-pi!

*lolz dragging you by one hand to the dance floor now*

What? Not with me!

[Drags her heels on the floor. Is he insane?]

*too late, they make it to the edge of the dance floor and he promptly spins you into the proper position to lead you in a dance*

Try to stay on beat, Riku-pi~

[He is lucky there are people, because that means she isn't going to make a scene and kick him in the face. ...That doesn't mean she hasn't got a terrible scowl, though.]

Ri.
