vuin (4) - learning the rituals of an American high school

[Phone]

Can someone help me out on this?

Everyone at school's been talking about this thing called "prom" that's happening on Friday. And there's a king and a queen and people are asking each other to go with them and there's a dress code and it sounds pretty important.

So... what is it? Do I have to go?



[Action]

[Leaving this option open to anyone who wants to drag Rikku around town in the name of teaching her about prom/getting her ready for it. She has absolutely no frame of reference for it, so have fun with that!]

I BELIEVE IT IS A DANCE.

It's a party. You know, dancing, food, and hanging out with your friends.

I guess you don't hafta go, but it's fun if you bring someone with you.

A dance? Does that mean I'd have to learn some formal dancing thing in order to be allowed in?
likescats: (THERE IS ONLY ME)

[personal profile] likescats 2012-05-15 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS NEARLY THAT FORMAL.

YOU MERELY HAVE TO SHOW UP.

[personal profile] yvnyet_uv_mekrdhehk 2012-05-15 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! I can enjoy a good party!

If everyone else is going in order to have fun I don't mind going. I just don't know if it's too late to go with someone or not...

[personal profile] yvnyet_uv_mekrdhehk 2012-05-15 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
It's that easy?

[That doesn't sound right.]

Are you sure there's not some catch?
likescats: (I WAS READING YOU KNOW)

[personal profile] likescats 2012-05-15 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I DO NOT BELIEVE SO. IT IS NOT BEING HELD BY THE TOWN AFTER ALL.

AND THEY HAD ONE LAST YEAR AS WELL.

[personal profile] yvnyet_uv_mekrdhehk 2012-05-15 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
If it was being held by the town, they'd poison the food or something.

[Stupid Mayfield.]

They did? So, this is something that happens every year?

IT SEEMS TO BE. I'M NOT SURE OF THE ORIGINS, BUT IT APPEARS TO BE A TRADITION IN SOME WORLDS.

I don't believe attendance is mandatory. From what I've been hearing, it is simply a dance.

It's a school dance. Well, this one is a town dance, anyone can go, except the drones. And at the last dance there was food and drinks and a King and Queen were elected.

Oh, the drone prom is at the high school, but Quinn is organizing the dance for all of us at the rec center. That way, we can all socialize and get to know each other without a horrible emergency being involved.

Well - no you don't, but it sounds pretty fun. It's supposed to be some sort of party.

Yeah, not goin' to prom? Punishable by death, man.
20percentcooler: (Night and day I'm missing you)

[personal profile] 20percentcooler 2012-05-15 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Too late? Nah, I don't think so. You got friends here?

[personal profile] yvnyet_uv_mekrdhehk 2012-05-15 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
What, an end-of-the-school-year dance thing? It seems kind of weird, but then again this whole high school thing seems kind of weird. Do they have high schools where you're from?

[personal profile] yvnyet_uv_mekrdhehk 2012-05-15 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I do! We can all go as one big group!

Unless they're already going with other people. I've heard the word "date"--is this a romantic party or something?

[personal profile] yvnyet_uv_mekrdhehk 2012-05-15 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a lot of hype for just a dance, though. There has to be something special about it... right?
20percentcooler: (Heaven take me into your skies)

[personal profile] 20percentcooler 2012-05-15 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Well everypony can bring a date if they want, but you don't have to if you don't wanna.

[personal profile] yvnyet_uv_mekrdhehk 2012-05-15 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
That sounds like a lot of fun! And I'm glad the drones aren't invited.

But what's with the King and Queen stuff? Are they in charge of the high school next year or something?

[personal profile] yvnyet_uv_mekrdhehk 2012-05-15 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
So there are two proms on Friday!

I'm glad you told me, or I might have ended up at the wrong one. And drone prom sounds boring and miserable.

[personal profile] yvnyet_uv_mekrdhehk 2012-05-15 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think it'd hurt to party any. If we're stuck here, we might as well enjoy it sometimes, you know?

Are you going?

[personal profile] yvnyet_uv_mekrdhehk 2012-05-15 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
In Mayfield, I wouldn't be surprised if it was punishable by death not to go.

....

Is it, really?

[Now she's nervous.]

[personal profile] baptizedinflame 2012-05-15 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps. Or perhaps it is simply people trying to enjoy themselves in a place that enjoys tormenting them so much.

[personal profile] yvnyet_uv_mekrdhehk 2012-05-15 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Every...pony?

That's good, though. I'm not really good at finding dates. Everyone just treats me like their kid sister.

[The pain that is her existence.]
