"Oh! You're right Ige! You didn't ask for this! Gosh, I'm so sorry!" Yugi flops out from behind Ige and rushes by quickly by Felix and Nico before diving under one of the refreshment tables.
Pshh!!
While the plan probably would have gone off without a hitch if Yugi had gotten a full night of sleep, unfortunately she doesn't calculate the space that she needs properly and ends up spilling one of the bowls of punch drops from the table with a crash.

Hella's familiar simply stares at Su-Ah, although it does a little nod in response to her greeting. "Oh I don't think anyone would care about your curtain robbery. Can't really imagine Caitlin bothering you about it when you look this nice." "Although..." She sounds slightly concerned. "Is that really comfortable? Is curtain fabric really that nice on the skin?" "Oh, I had to use another type of fabric underneath it of course! A lot of fabrics call for an something like it actually." Su-Ah nods sagely. "Um, by the way, have you seen Yugi around anywhere? I'm starting to get a little concerned. I thought she'd be the first one here--" She gets interrupted by the sudden crash. "What just happened...?

Hella visibly flinches as Yugi falls in the background. "Oh, that makes intersting. As for Yugi-girl. Maybe she wants some kind of grand entrance once everyone has already gathered. It would be very fitting for the never ending bundle of energy she is."
"Oh, one of the punch bowls must've fallen over. Probably someone's familiar having to good of a time you know?" Hella blurts rather quickly.

"Bahaha! You're right! Oh, well I can wait..." Su-Ah looks a little disheartened for a second.
"Still, isn't this a tripping hazard? Maybe we should go get something or someone to clean it up."

"Su-Ah, this is your night and you should not worry your head over it."

Mikoto quietly sneaks behind Su-Ah, trying not to be heard, so they instead can investigate what the noise was. But the somewhat loud noise of their sandals might make this harder than they anticipated.
Thank goodness for sweet, smooth jazz! Mikoto's familiar fumbles and hangs from the tip of their parasol while they rush over to the scene of the CRIME. the POOR PUNCH BOWL is likely DEAD, you know?

Felix looked over towards the unconscious Yugi, a bit worried for her. As he went to speak up in response to Caitlin's inquiry, he was interrupted as he noticed Nico making a beeline towards him. He stuck his hands into his pocket, and at the question, his whole face turned a bright red. "I-I-- ummm..." he stammered, looking quite shocked to have been asked that. After a moment, he mentally slapped himself, and took a few more moments before managing to respond. It was an uncomfortable thirty seconds or so. "I-I'm sorry, I just never expected to be asked that..." he meekly laughed. "B-But, um, alright. I've never danced in my life, but I'll-- I'll try. W-Who knows, maybe it'll be fun! A-And for what it's worth, um, that suit looks nice on you too..." Nico's life flashed before his eyes multiple times in the silence that followed his question. Once Felix answered him, Nico's face turned bright red as well. He pinches his upper thigh hard with his right hand to check if he's dreaming. "Really?!" He asked, trying to play it cool and not sound too excited. No one would probably buy his act, however. He takes another deep breath to try and calm himself once again. "W-Well, it's not like I'm the Ultimate Dancer or anything... So don't worry so much, okay? I've never really danced before either. Besides, it being awkward and clumsy seems like it'd be part of the fun!" Felix's face only flushed further at Nico's excited reaction, the chef now looking like a ripe tomato. Despite his nerves, though, he couldn't help but crack a soft, if nervous, smile. "I-I'll try not to trip you up too much, then. Guess we'll, uh, kinda guide one another through the process or something, huh...?" At the loud crash, he immediately turned, tensing up. He breathed a sigh of relief as he saw that no one had been killed, though. "Y-You okay, Yugi?"

"Su-Ah, this is your night and you should not worry your head over it." "Hm! I guess you're right." Su-Ah did a little happy dance in place and sipped her little drink. "Wow, now that I think about it, we had never really spoken one-on-one, huh? That's kinda crazy." She stared at Mikoto as they walked past to investigate and shrugged.

"Felix!" Yugi whispers loudly from under the table. "I'm soo sorry! I didn't see the table leg! Hopefully none of your food got ruined!"
"Anyway, I have a dress that's in a bag on my bed! Can you go get it or accompany me past security? I can totally make it up to you!"
Yugi hears something behind her and glances out the other side of the table, seeing the bladesmith as they try to investigate the spill, "Hi Mikoto! Look, I need to hide this whole fiasco from Su-Ah, okay?! Like even if I look like a total freak in front of everyone, Su-Ah is different right? Like that would be the worst! I would die! I would die Mikoto you have to help me!"
Yugi's eyes twitch with urgency despite having given Mikoto very little actionable information.

"T-The punch!!" Ige cried as the punch bowl was knocked over. He instinctively ran to the spilled juice and began cleaning up the mess, grumbling and growling in the process.

He breathed a sigh of relief as he saw that no one had been killed, though. "Y-You okay, Yugi?" "Hehe... Sounds good to me." Nico giggled nervously. "H-Huh? Yugi?" He asks, looking around. He quickly spots her under the table. Trying not to draw too much attention, he whispers just loud enough for her to hopefully hear. "Oh my god! What are you doing down there? Where's your dress?"

"It's in my room Nico! Wow you look really good in your outfit! I love the touches! You're such a good friend! I was up all night getting the dance ready I didn't have time for anything! I haven't even tried it on!" Yugi whispers hurriedly at the speleologist with a complete lack of focus.
"Thanks Ige! You're a lifesaver!" She whispers to the assistant as he cleans up the mess on the floor.
Yugi dashes out from under the table, slips on the punch that's everywhere and smacks into the ground. It doesn't look like she died, but it would be hard to feel completely sure.

"I-I didn't finish yet!" Ige snapped as Yugi was falling. "Hey! Are you alright?!"

Yugi's eyes flutter. Some blood runs over her face from her hairline. "Ige! I am so sorry! I've been having a bit of a crazy day! I'll be okay just..."
She stops talking. She's still breathing but her eyes glaze over.

"...Gwahhh! I just knew something would go wrong!" Ige screamed, waving his fists in the air. "Hey, someone take Yugi to the infirmary while I clean up this spill and make sure no one else has a nasty fall! Maybe, uh...well, she seems to want to be your friend or something, so maybe you should do it, Su-Ah."

Yugi's eyes bulge as somehow Ige's words cut straight to the lizard part of her brain and she squirms with extreme social anxiety.
"Ige... You traitor!!"

"Oh my GOD! Yugi!" Su-Ah couldn't stay distracted this time.
She runs over to the scene of the accident (carefully so she doesn't slip) and kneels down besides Yugi.
"Oh, poor Yugi... you're bleeding..."
"...Sure, I'll take her there! Come on Yugi-" Su-Ah attempts to help the squirming girl stand up.

Yugi struggles to her feet with the help of Su-Ah, a feeling of defeat washing over her.
Her face is beet-red and she has a hard time looking anyone in the eyes.
“Okay! I’m sorry guys! I was doing my best but I guess we all have to learn a lesson today don’t we?!” She says despite being the only one to do any of this. “Yep! I’ve made a big mistake not sleeping but it was worth it! The dance was saved! And the only bad part is how I look right now! And that I’m missing the dance of my dreams!”
“I’m sorry to Su-Ah that I look so bad. I’m sorry to Hella and Ige for pulling you into my scheme! I’m sorry to whoever wanted punch! I’m sorry to Hawk who wanted us to be safe! I’m sorry to Mr. Magno for ruining the last two songs! I’m sorry and I’ve definitely learned my lesson! I should have drank more coffee!”

Korrigan hears an influence from the cosmos as well as Yugi's lament. He looks over to Yugi, and Luca blinks. He queues up and plays this song he ripped from the Devilnet in response.

“This song is sooo gooood…” Yugi says, her body still slightly limp as she leans on Mikoto nearby. “Su-Ah… We have to dance. We all should… dance.”

Nico barely had time to register Yugi’s compliment before the disaster that quickly followed.
“But…” He sighs, shaking his head. “N-Never mind.” With the magic of his moment gone, he seems a little disappointed.
“Are you okay, Yugi?”

“This song is sooo gooood…” Yugi says, her body still slightly limp as she leans on Mikoto nearby. “Su-Ah… We have to dance. We all should… dance.” Su-Ah giggled a bit. "We have to get you patched up first. Don't worry, I'll take you to the clinic! We can dance once you're not bleeding anymore." She waves at everyone and slowly takes Yugi out the door and into wherever the medical supplies were stored.

"I'm doing okay... I'm just really excited for the dance so I messed it all up..." Yugi says to Nico as she's dragged away. "Please take care of things for me!" Sadness definitely begins to settle into Yugi's expression. All of the manic energy being zapped from her.
She turns to Su-Ah, "Okay...! Yeah...! I really want to dance with you!"
Yugi lets herself be dragged away past security and out to swamp, to be patched up to the extent she can be. It's not a bad bump and cut on her head, but definitely needs care. The whole time she's somewhat deleriously paying Su-Ah compliments and talking about how the dance needs to go well.
"You're like the most pretty person I've ever seen ever. It's so crazy."

"I'll try my best!" Nico said to Yugi, before she and Su-Ah left. He raises his voice to address everyone else.
"So... While those two are getting ready, should we start the dance?" He asks.

Mikoto claps their hands together. "That's a lovely idea, I think!"
"But ah, if you all intend on dancing together in your pairs, perhaps I should join Mister Magno on the sidelines, and add to the scene..." They twirl their umbrella around over their shoulder, spinning it in place. Leafcelot is hanging on by a thread as he twirls around like a lunatic.
"Hrmm, I'm not sure if our music tastes align, though... but a musician doesn't falter and folly over things like this!" Mikoto pumps a fist into the air. "Gah! I should've steeled my mind for such an occasion, but I wonder if I'm truly ready..."

At the cue, Korrigan takes some initiative and pulls up a mic. "Check, check. Addressing the garden and those who wander in it!" Korrigan begins, giving a grand gesture, his deep voice reverberating throughout the room. "Welcome everyone to the first official school dance of St. Hope's Academy! I'm your humble host: The Servant of Sound, and without further delay, let's begin!" he says, starting up the music and hoisting an impressively shiny and professional saxophone up. "If you don't have proper dancing shoes, this is your final warning! I wish to see every piece of flora in motion, and your feet will thank your preparedness! Find a friend, a close friend, or a soon-to-be friend, because friendship blooms even in space!" Korrigan concludes just in time to begin playing his part. The entire building feels energized as it is filled with upbeat jazz.

Mikoto sneaks around while people are presumably distracted by the music (though they don't sneak very well) in an attempt to flee the scene and return with some COOL instrument so they can perform on stage, last minute.
Whether or not they're successful depends on how competent the rest of the group is at spotting them.

"Definitely not my preferred music gene, but I reckon I'll make do with the music Mr. Magno is playing." Calvin said as he started dancing, getting into the groove.

Whether or not they're successful depends on how competent the rest of the group is at spotting them. Korrigan had conveniently brought quite a lot of instruments with him to play. And being the bringer of music, he was hardly distracted by it and notices Mikoto trying to sneak away. As the music plays, Korrigan taps him on the shoulder. "Hey, do you want to help? Pick one." Korrigan motions behind him. Mikoto is presented with the following choices: 1. PAN FLUTE 2. SPANISH GUITAR 3. BONGOS
