... I don't know how many friends he made here, but I guess I should inform anyone that might care that... Gremio's gone. All that's left is a drone. No cheek scar, so... it's definitely not him. No sense in questioning it.

... So. I hear a lot of talk about this prom thing. It sounds kind of like some of the formal parties they used to host in Gregminster, though those were mostly for adults of the noble class. Still, that's my experience with them. A lot of glamor and putting on masks... I actually don't have a lot of taste for it. But somehow, I think it'll be different here. Maybe...

Anyways, can anyone tell me more about the concept? I guess Americans would be best qualified, but I'll take any perspective I can get. Personal anecdotes especially. I just want to hear some stories right now... stories of places far and away.

None taken, since you're right enough. It's too much fuss and work for something that lasts only a few hours, and people get so dramatic about it, too...

[heavenfang]

Hmm... Better this than anything else, I think. Sometimes people really need an escape, no matter how temporary.

[commentboxtroll]

Maybe. If only they could all come together like this for something besides a dance. [Judging them aaaall.] And wait until you see last year's prom king.

[heavenfang]

Prom king?

[commentboxtroll]

They vote for a king and queen of the dance. Last year the king was a rod.

[heavenfang]

... Could you run that by me again?

And this time, try to make sense.

[commentboxtroll]

They vote for a king and queen of the dance. [But something tells me Tir got that part!] And last year they voted in an inanimate metal stick as their prom king.

[heavenfang]

...

How?

[commentboxtroll]

Superior marketing campaign.

[Can you tell if he's serious or not, Mr. Hero? Can you?]

[heavenfang]

Okay. Better question.

Why?

[commentboxtroll]

They likely thought it was funny at the time.

[heavenfang]

... Maybe it's one of those 'had to be there' moments.

[commentboxtroll]

Or they get dumber when they gather together in groups. Who knows.

[He certainly wasn't there for it.]

[heavenfang]

Well, regardless, I'm going to be there.

[commentboxtroll]

Your choice. Good luck with it. Me? I'll be enjoying the peace and quiet with everyone else stuffed into the gym.

[heavenfang]

Heh... I guess that's more like you. I won't bore you with details of how my date went either.

[commentboxtroll]

You won't? My, how kind of you.

[Not even curious about who his date is, though he's not too surprised. Seems like a hero thing to do.]
