Dance on a Dime

Unfortunately for him, Laguna had never learned to dance.  Well, it wasn’t completely unfortunate.  Laguna had been a soldier.  Soldiers didn’t need to know how to dance.  To his surprise, he was completely capable of nailing a few steps of a waltz after watching other party goers begin their steps.  He would have been fine if dancing didn’t require a partner.  He had only had the hand of some girl for a total of five seconds before his leg cramped up and he had to leave doubled over and cupping his knee.

The man found himself outside with the chilling February air cooling his blushing face.  God, he wasn’t good at this stuff anymore.  He covered his cheeks with his palms.  Had he ever been good at this?  Dressing up, going to big social events, dancing, talking to women…

To be honest, he felt a little ridiculous in a suit.   Nevertheless, a party was a party and he wasn’t about to miss out on one.  Dancing or no dancing.

Despite his embarrassment, Laguna had to smile to himself.  If she were around, she’d probably be laughing in his face.  She probably would’ve loved this.  A great big party dedicated to being sappy for a whole weekend.   Okay.  Maybe she wouldn’t have liked it.  But a weekend together in this fantasyland of a place would’ve been appreciated.  Alone time had been rare, even after they’d gotten married.  He would have liked to go to an event like this with her.  If only once.

Getting up, he brushed off his pant legs.  No sense in sulking about his inability to maintain rhythm!  Besides, he was a grown-up!  Grown-ups don’t hunch in the corner in public.  Promptly turning around, he gracefully smacked himself right into the body of someone else.

Valentine ball

It was one of the few things that Genesis had missed from his childhood. The elegance and beauty that came with balls. His father had thrown many when the poet was growing up and so the extravagance felt like home to him.

He straightened his tux as he glanced around. He had always adored dancing, the way the music would wash over you and take you over. The way that the world could melt away with the right song, as you moved in sync with another person. 

Yes Genesis missed balls, and this was one he had no intention of missing. Stepping closer to the center he looked around. "It really is beautiful."

Deuce may have been finally convinced to attend the grand event. However, as she was only persuaded by the last minute, the flutist possessed only 'the summed up' amount of information about the festivities. The exact venue of The Ball is one of them. She has a small memo of where the castle is, but not the exact area where the celebration is held. At her own pace, Deuce went from one hall to the next. She had no worry of getting lost, nor a care on what direction she took; exploring an area like this is enjoyable on it's own. At some point, she found the end of a hall where two large doors stood. Curiosity got the best of her, convincing her to slowly open them up...

...Something beautiful was revealed.

[The Things I Do For Love] Amarant & Freya

Amarant's feet shifted awkwardly as he waited for Freya in the other room. His hair was tied back in a way that his eyes were still hidden to much of the outside world but was still uncharacteristically neat. He managed to find something close enough to a suit to be passable but still to his tastes; a deep hunter green long coat covered over a high collared shirt and pants of the same color. He wore his usual belts and claw necklace, and brown boots that had been an ordeal to find in his size.

He held a box in his hand; it was Valentines, after all, and being in a relationship during the holiday for the first time in probably his whole life, he felt obligated to at least get his lady, his moonlight, something. Between that, and the fact that they were going to a ball, caused the normally unmovable man to be swallow nervously.

Damn it, I've never done this sort of thing before...what does she expect me to do there, act like one of those hoity-toity types?

And yet...for the life of me, I can't say no to her.

He sighs.

                                 Dressed in his smart-casual navy blue suit, the felon deemed himself appropriate for the ball. Straightening his tie, he gave himself a once over check, clicking his tongue and winking at himself as he usually would before a date of any sorts. Slender digits would rake unruly blond hair with a minimal amount of hair product to finish off the look before taking a  few strides over to the entrance of his appartment, extending his arm to unlatch his 'bike keys from the small wooden hook to the left of his front door. 

Jogging down the apartment stairs, he reached the bottom and pushed open the heavier door which required more effort on his behalf only to be hit with the cold winter air. Shivering a little at the coldness, he slid out a cigarette from his suit jacket pocket, placing it to hang loose betwixt his thin, rosette lips. He would shelter the small device in which he used to light his addiction, covering that flame to prevent it from being blown out. Taking the cigarette from his lips, holding it midway between two digits, he exhaled the smoke into the bitter night air. 

Sauntering over to his chosen vehicle for the evening, he swung one leg over his motorbike before taking another drag of the cigarette. Placing the key into the bike, he gave it a firm twist clockwise, revving the 'cycle into ignition. Azure hues would glance around, debating which way would be quickest to pick up the ebony haired female, whom of which was accompanying him as his date for the night. He took one last toke of his cigarette, watching it burn for a moment more before flicking it to the curb, the remains burning to the butt as he released his grip on the brake, revving up his mode of transportation and riding off at a rather sudden burst of speed. 

In little to no time, the fugitive found himself pulling up outside of Yuffie's home. He'd done a bit of asking around, gathering local Intel as to where the female lived. Knowing Ignis had it's benefits sometimes. Beeping the horn of his bike, he turned the key to save wasting gas, the 'bike standing still as he waited for the female to appear. Upon seeing Yuffie, he smiled brightly, beckoning her over. "It'll be a bit of a tight squeeze, but I figure we'll manage--" he patted the leather seat behind him, moving himself forward as much as he could for the female. Pure blue optics twinkled at the sight of the female adorned in the most beautiful shade of blue. Once she was sat behind him, he glanced over his shoulder, smirking a little, speaking softly. 

"Ya might wanna wrap yer hands 'round me, 'less ya wanna fall off--" he joked. Upon a second glance at the female, he smiled a little more. "Oh and... ya look beautiful, yuff!" he added. Generally the gunslinger would call a girl sexy, or hot, but his comment felt more natural than usual. Turning the key before the female could respond, he kicked off the peddle, pulling off from their position, riding off to the ball in which would surely be a night to remember.

Repliku hummed as he glanced at what he'd been given about his 'blind date secret Valentine'.... thing. He'd never met his date of course and so the person that had set them up had given him a description of the person that he was going to be going with and a name. Kadaj. He'd admit it was a bit of an odd name but... he couldn't really talk all things considered. 

He glanced around again, wondering where the other could be and hoping he could find him before too many of the other guests arrived. That would just make it almost impossible after all and he didn't really want to have to deal with that..

She couldn't help fidgeting with the fabric and picking at the hem of her attire. Even her hair had been altered in an elaborately braided up-do to match the theme of the evening. Her ankles wobbling faintly in the low heels upon ascending a set of stairs, the elvaan tried to maintain a pleasant expression upon her face. After all, people were expecting her to spoil the night with brash, tom-boyish tendencies like she always had. 

"It'll be over soon enough," A hand rising to grasp the railing for dear life so as not to blunder her ascent. "In the meantime, I'll find a spot at the bar to pass the time."

Barely clearing the last step, she stood still and looked wide-eyed at the door that lead into the main area. "There...will  be an open bar....right?"

Remember guys, your family here loves you.

--Happy Valentine's Day from Garnet'mun to my family of pyreflighters. <3

[thebloodstainedsoldier]

The poet had heard about a valentines ball that was to come. It really wasn't something that he could find himself normally going to, a life time of formal ball, the glitter and mask that came with the lights and sound of balls. Yet her he held the two invites and stood before the door that held the little locked away girl. He had only meet her once and it was something that she may not remember, but the poet had seen something beautiful in the snow angel, and he wanted to show her something beautiful in response.

He knocked once on the door and stepped back. He was taking a chance to talk to her, and even a bigger risk by asking her to this dance. What better way to show her the world then through a ball meant to bind hearts.

"....I don't understand why I  have  to wear this...this....thing. I mean, this is supposedly a holiday about love, right? Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't love mean accepting people for who they are and not what they're wearing?"

Valentine's Wonder - OPEN-

"...I don't understand the significance of Valentine's day. Shouldn't we show the people we cherish just how much we appreciate them all the time? " The woman utters to herself as she scrambles to make cards to hand out at the dance. "Guess it wouldn't hurt to celebrate it for the first time." A calmer tone eased her wonder.
