“But asking people is part of the fun!” Yugi says, still sweaty from her social encounter with Su-Ah. “If people want to go as a big group of friends I’ve heard of that! Plus I’m sure we’ll do line dances and stuff that’s not slow or anything.”

"Going as a group of friends looking for an excuse to get to know more about each other or just...hang out in general is an incredibly valid and encouraged outcome. I'll make sure to include some group dance songs that require everyone to join in, that being said." Korrigan looks to Luca as he finishes saying that.
"So help me, I'll make you learn the Cha Cha slide." he says directly to Luca. Luca bobs his head enthusiastically.

"I suppose we should get our shite together and get to work soon, right?" Caitlin asked.

Felix still looked worried at the prospect of dancing with someone, but nodded.
"R-Right. We should start preparing now so this is the best dance ever!"

"Could grab some asteroids for decoration." Hella ponders aloud. "Probably look cool. If they're too big to move then ya just hit them hammers."

"I suppose we should get our shite together and get to work soon, right?" Caitlin asked. Seeing everyone else excited seems to have helped Nico get over his nervousness from earlier. "Hell yeah!" He exclaimed. "Let's get to work, people!"

"...W-Wait, I ob...obje..."
Ige couldn't finish his thought without letting out another hurl, insuring that no one really heard him.

Yves finally finishes rebooting, standing there staring at Faye with her face lit up like a Christmas tree. She was blindsided by being called pretty and then immediately asked to prom so she just completely shut down.
“I- yes! I would, um, like to dance with you, Faye. Go to the dance with you. I’m, um, not very good, at dancing. I’ve never been to one, wait, I already mentioned that earlier, I, uh- yeah.”

"Or to feel bad about themselves. Inadequate. You understand what I mean?" Mikoto nods. "But we are all strong friends. Here, we forge bonds, stronger than steel. Together, all of us can overcome anything."

"Even if you grovel, I can't really help you, Eugenia. It's simply just not within my capabilities. I like drawing them, not so much taking care." Neuron sighs.
After listening in for a bit, Neuron chimed in.
"... I'd just like to say. I know you're excited to do all sorts of things, but we can't just ignore where we are." Neuron was uncharacteristically admonishing the students. "I don't have anything against the dance particularly, but I find it peculiar that that demon wants to join in on it."
"It's your choice if you want to continue, but try to stay wary. Sir Korrigan, Sir Ige, it seems that you're willing to make it with them, so please take care of them. I'll be exploring these planets a bit more. It's really weird not being on Earth. I haven't seen Sir Hawk in a while too, so I'll be looking for him."

The nauseated man stumbled away. "U-Urk...it's nothing...don't mind me." Yugi runs after Ige, "Wait up! I want to hear your thoughts and opinions and whatever cool things you have going on! They don't even have to be that great! They just have to be... okay! Come on!" She then leaves a note for Ige that says, "Please! You are so important! You can tell me here on this paper."She walks back to the others, "Thanks for the open-ness to the event! I'm really glad, Yves, Hella, Caitlin, Felix, and just everyone! Mikoto as well! And... Well you get it." "Anyway, I guess we're all done talking about it. The only two things you need to do is gussy yourselves up and grab a date if you want one!" The president gives her signature eager grin and a thumbs up. "... I'd just like to say. I know you're excited to do all sorts of things, but we can't just ignore where we are." Neuron was uncharacteristically admonishing the students. "I don't have anything against the dance particularly, but I find it peculiar that that demon wants to join in on it." The teen takes a moment to address their assistant art instructor, "We are doing our best! I'll make sure to check into various things and make good choices, but it's so important to live our lives as well! I hope you understand. Thanks for being so caring!"

Ige shoots a glance at the paper and scribbles something down furiously, before handing it off to Yugi. It was probably better that he'd written it, lest he blow some more chunks.
"I think holding a dance may be setting us up for another...dangerous situation."

Yugi holds the paper tight.
"It's a good thing to know. Thanks Ige. I'll have to organize some serious security measures. Something sad happening will always make us sad though, so it's best to do happy things sometimes no matter what."

Ige looks a little awkward after handing the note over.
"L-Listen, I'm not trying to be a downer, or a creeper, or whatever...and yeah, I might only be bringing this up because of self-preservation, or whatever. I sure as hell don't wanna go through another stupid trial cause someone has to...well..."
He stopped himself before going on another ramble.
"And I know I'm not gonna be able to compete with a bunch of ultimates, so I'm not going to try and stop the party, or whatever. In fact, I'll do whatever I can to help make sure the dance is a rousing success. A rousing and safe success."

"Maybe all of our familiars can help stand guard," Felix suggested. "L-Like, if one of them notices something weird, they can alert the rest of us."

"Hmm...I don't know, I feel a little uncomfortable leaving it up to our familiars," Ige said, clutching his chin. "I'm not sure it will help us moderate the dance."
Ige clutched his chin. "E-Er, okay, I think we should set some ground rules, anyways. One, I don't think anyone should leave the room when they get in. If someone has to use the bathroom, we should go in pairs. In the event that, well...at least we'll know, right?"
He let out an awkward cough before continuing. shook his head before continuing, perhaps a bit too crazy with his safety spiel. "Two, I think two people should stand guard outside! Make sure nothing anything funny happens! And in this case, I think Hawk should definitely be a contender."

“Mr. Hawk would probably agree to do it, if we asked him.” Nico agreed. “Assuming he’s not too preoccupied by other plans…”

“Yeah, those are good ideas, Ige! And don’t let your date go home alone! Or your group if you’re in a big one!” Yugi gives the man a thumbs up. “I’ll make sure those rules are well-distributed by Nico by the end of the week. It is his job to do our announcements after all.”
Yugi looks really happy that Ige said anything.

THEMEWhile some planning needed to be done, it was eventually agreed upon that things would be done a little on the fly and the kids would make it up as they went. Using the workshop on Sotrees, a group of students was able to work on making decorations while their familiars all went hunting for flowers, to varying degrees of success. On Sahra, Felix cooked up a storm and did his best to ensure the event would be properly catered, though the arid air of the planet made it kind of difficult at points. Still, though, he succeeded (I hope)! Everyone spent some time running around and trying to get their best formal wear together (though, perhaps there were a few rebels who wore something a little more avant-garde) and some of the students were spotted working on their dance techniques. A group of students was sent to the medical clinic on Suamp to gather supplies in case anyone got hurt during that dance, which they were able to do, but not without getting spooked in the graveyard. No worries, though, it was just one of their familiars mucking around. The dance was to be held on Ingrass in the town hall, as it was the most spacious and comfortable venue. The decorations looked great, probably, and after a few days of hard work, everything was good to go. On the evening of the dance, everyone arrived relatively on time, and were maybe or maybe not wearing a neat outfit for the dance. Caitlin wore a simple, backless green dress adorned with some wildflowers and was making sure everyone arrived safely and that nobody was going to act a fool on such a special occasion. She took it upon herself to be part of whatever security team they had going on, and took it kind of seriously. Anyway, that’s the post let’s have fun u gaiz :P (Feel free to retroactively described what you did during preparations!)

As was expected, Hawk was on guard duty, his eagle lazily flying around the venue above everyone's heads. Its head could be seen turning this way and that as the students and other faculty mingled on the dance floor.
As for Hawk himself, he had chosen to gear up more than usual. Balanced on his hips were two swords, both with cleaned sheathes and no signs of use on them. He had traded his white suit out for a tight bodysuit under a long coat that covered him from neck to knee, with black boots practically glowing with shine. On his hands were simple gloves, and over his face he wore a half mask, to keep his hair out of his face.
He inclined his head to each person as they came through, naming them and complimenting them on either their dress, their efforts up until this point, or both.

Calvin shows up to the dance. For this dance though, the cowboy have elected to go in a formal outfit, since his frock coat was too worn-out. Even with help from Su-Ah, attempts to fix the frock coat and make it looks nicer ended up futile. The cowboy blames himself for not taking good care of his frock coat, which he might have received a stern lecture from Su-Ah on.
Calvin was wearing a red cowboy shirt with a pattern of a cactus flower on the back and blue trousers. He still have his black cowboy hat and boots on. There were some petals from the cactus flower tucked into his cowboy hat, in a stylish pattern. The spurs were nowhere to be seen as Calvin have to remove them and leave them in his room for safety, that is. The gun holster was nowhere to be seen, probably locked away in his room along with the spurs for the same reason; safety.
He seems to have cleaned up as his stubble slightly resembles a Van Dyke. At least that's his view on how a ideal gentleman should looks like at a dance like the one he's attending.
"Howdy, partner. I'm ready for a hog-killin' time at the dance." He greets everyone already present by tipping his hat at them.

Caitlin smiled and gave a thumbs up. "Well, if ya ever need help, just know that these fists aren't just fer attracting mates." "That doesn't even make sense- oh, forget it." Faye showed up to the dance, fiddling with her tie. The suit she opted for ultimately just looked like a fancier version of her uniform, though it had noticeably long coattails that almost reach the floor, indicating it could have been slightly too big for her. She had affixed a rabbit orchid to her lapel (real flower, look it up), and, of course, still wore her rabbit ears. "... I'm not here early, right?" Nearby, the jackalope prowled in search of new prey. Flowers, that is. The familiar had to be banned from the flower gathering efforts earlier due to eating half of the ones the others picked, and yet Faye refused to dismiss it, claiming he got easily lonely.

Yves’s demented teddy bear familiar darts through everyone’s legs, creaking and letting out a screeching, demonic cackle as it jitters around. It comes to a skidding halt and drops to one knee, throwing its paws to one side and doing jazz hands to present none other than…
Yves! All dressed up for the BIG DANCE! But her player is an eight-hour drive away their computer and doesn’t have an image prepared right now. Sucks to suck I guess.
The lanky girl steps out from behind the corner she was trying to hide behind, a baby blue ribbon in her freshly-brushed hair and a white lily tucked behind her ear. She’s wearing more makeup than her usual barely-there eyeliner and foundation, a faint coat of pink gloss on her lips. Her usual comfy attire has been replaced by a pink, frilly off-the-shoulder blouse, an undershirt with a sheer neckline, a matching poodle skirt, white kneesocks, and polished pair of Mary Janes on her feet.
“I, um… hi. Everyone.” She keeps her head down, like she had been doing even when going around, frantically trying to assist the others with anything and everything the past few days, raising her arm to give a pathetic little wave.

Mikoto emerged from the dark depths of (not inside the town hall) to the Town Hall. They were dressed conservatively, which isn't unusual for them. What IS unusual is that this is the first time they're showing their face, unobscured.
Dressed tightly in white hakama with matching, looser fitting pants and wooden sandals, each step they took made a very distinctive noise. Over their shoulder they carried a large, red parasol, closed up, with their familiar, Leafcelot, wearing a cute red bowtie instead of a cape.
What they're wearing is formal, but far away from the same fashion some of the others were wearing.
"Greetings, friends!" Mikoto smiles. Visibly. "Ohh my oh my... Everyone here is simply stunning! I feel like a beached whale, spending their last moments with the lonesome, brightly shining stars."
":]" said Leafcelot.
"How is everyone feeling? Not too stressed I hope? We're doing this for fun, after all!" It wasn't certain what kind of training Mikoto put themselves through before the dance to go from being apprehensive and nervous to this, but they were eager to do whatever they could in aiding the student council to make sure all of their friends could have this and enjoy themselves.
