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.]

Glad?

*gives you a confused sort of look*

That there's a better place for some people, is all. I met a Sora with cat-ears that I wouldn't want to see sent back to his own home, if I have his story right.

Oh, the one with different colored eyes! Yeah, I know him. His world was pretty rough. He lives in my hallway, you know.

[pushes away from the wall and holds a hand out to you]

Come on and dance with me, Ri. I feel like we're about to sprout roots here if we stand here much longer.

*looks a little conflicted, eyes scanning over the crowd before he nods and takes your hand*

Just one dance.

I'll even let you lead, since you seem to be somewhat taller than me now and all.

[winks, wondering if you'd noticed the small difference]

*blinks and freezes, sizing up the difference in height, thought it's not too noticeable at first glance*

... this is so weird.

[laughs and tugs you along, onto the dance floor where he settles his free hand on your shoulder]

What, you only now think so?

*dancing goes here then*

I thought it was weird before, with you younger than me.

You're not that much older, at least. Imagine if I'd showed up when you in your thirties or something.

*ready for brainbreak?*

Oh no. That's the older-me.

[almost trips]

....what?

*keeps you upright!*

Yeah. A me that's older. Supposedly he's been stuck here in the DR for 15 years. People have told me about him, but I never talked to him myself.

Now that's pretty freaky. I'm glad Kai let me to you and not the well, older you.

*blinks*

Why is it so freaky? Or have I become immune to the weirdness here?

[if he could blush, he would]

Maybe it's more freaky to me because we recently... well, had to change the sheets back home. Then to be introduced to the you who's almost twice my age? And thinking about that kind of stuff?

*blinks then laughs*

I'm sure I'm still plenty sexy even if I'm older.

Oh, like that helps. I guess it's a plus that we never have to worry about getting gray hair.

Our hair might go black though.

...if it does I think I'll bleach mine.

Ew. Then it would get all ratty and frizzy.

Not if I use conditioner. They make anti-frizz stuff too.

*still wrinkling his nose at the thought*

[pulls the same trick on you that he did with Kairi, but with you he's more sneaky about it- how long until you notice you're gradually dancing about a foot off the ground?
