beauty & the beast montage

One moment, your character was minding their own business, and the next? Perhaps they opened the wrong door, appeared out of nowhere, or maybe, in a decidedly rare occurrence, they were actually escorted. The choice is yours. Either way, they seem to have found themselves at a formal party.



Spread out before them is a large ballroom. The decorations look like something from a fairy tale; high ceilings supported by stone pillars, walls adorned with gold trimmings and white silk curtains, and a high balcony overlooking an ornate marble dance floor. To the far end, a special stage has been set up, where a small orchestra fills the room with classical waltzes. Overhead, a large crystal chandelier illuminates everything with droplets of rainbow light.

To the sides and on the balcony small clusters of people make leisurely conversation and sip champagne. Several busboys carrying silver trays can be seen taking and delivering drink orders, regardless of age. Several couples choose instead to dance; the most graceful tend towards the middle, while the more inexperienced do their best to stay in the places they will be the most unobtrusive.

Should your character choose to go outside, they will be met with clear, starlit skies, a cool breeze, and a lavish rose garden. Several small tables are set up, lit by candles, where waiters take orders for a full-course dinner. Some of course, choose instead to gather near the ever-present Cod Fountain. Several pieces of strange currency can be seen at the bottom of the fountain; it seems that it's a popular place to wish for happiness.



THE RULES:
-Your characters' clothing with be replaced with formal wear, though the degree of formality is entirely up to you.
-Don't go having epic duels and destroying the building and what have you.
-If you please, you can use NPCs, but you will have to write them yourself.
-Standard "DON'T BE DOUCHEBAGS TO OTHER PLAYERS" disclaimers apply.
-????
-PROFIT!

"Yeah, outfit ain't so much you." Kaylee observes it carefully. "Needs more armor, I'd think. And less ties."

If the prom ever happens... o9

"Puppies 'n kittens 'n all kinds of shinies," Kaylee agrees. "Some folks just like bein' grumpy, I s'pose. My cap'n back home's one of 'em. Goes around makin' everybody think he's all kinds of rough and tough, but he's a teddy bear deep down in there someplace. He just don't like showin' it."

Kang snorted. "I'd much rather my armor, or even a simple kilt. I don't think I've ever worn pants before." Down went the champagne. Why the hell didn't they have anything stronger?

I hear it is being planned.

"Mhmm. I can relate," Nura says, grabbing two glasses of champagne from a passing waiter's tray. She hands one to Kaylee. "I married a regular grumpy-pants myself." She waves her hand with a chuckle. "He'll snap and grump around like a grumping gordanian most of the time, sour-puss and everything, but deep done," she smiles, "he's that little Coluan who needs a lot of hugs."

notifs are fail.

"So then you're of the warrior group," she says, nodding in comprehension. "I see. Do you come from a warrior race?" Tasmia, the Legion's Shadow Lass did, with a title to her name and everything.

A large Tauren entered dressed in a blue and gold outfit (http://www.fanboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/beauty-and-the-beast.jpg), followed by a black lion wearing a white bowtie.

"...What. The. Flak?"

"...you could say that, yes. We've known war practically our entire lives," Kang's wings rustled. "We were created for it. I was a commander for most of my career."

Eeeeep!

"So then you must find all this..." she gestures to the party, "...quite boring, hmm?"

And because she really couldn't bring herself to resist harassing him a bit, Kaylee approaches Cas with a grin.

"Clean up right well, don't ya~?"

He wore those coveralls in DC...

"You don't got Dress Armor or somethin'? I'm sure there could be some compromise found, yeah?"

Enough planning, more doing! >>

"It's that image they gotta uphold, y'know? That...reputation, or whatever you wanna be callin' it." She laughs, accepting the glass of champagne with an appreciative nod and thank-you. "Men gotta be men, and for some reason that always seems to translate to gruff 'n grumpy."
governorkang: (Home / Hatchlings are a handful)

Another nod, and Kang snags himself another glass of champagne. "Our parties are quite the opposite."

governorkang: (Having fun)

ffff I wish I had art of that

"Not really, beyond trying to keep it looking decent. I'll survive the night, though. Somehow," Kang shrugged.

[identity profile] foreseen-future.livejournal.com 2010-08-01 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
"Or just grumpy," Nura sighs. "They're like plants. You have to water them, give them love, and actually force them to get their butts out into the sunlight every now and then before they shrivel up in their bad moods." There's a pouty-lip in there for playfulness.

"More 'why is the rum always gone', than the champagne and decaration?" She contemplates taking another glass of champagne from a passing waiter, but decides that she's had enough for the night.
governorkang: (Having fun)

"Exactly." The reference was lost on Kang, but he knew what rum was. "Stronger alcohol, stories, songs..."

[identity profile] foreseen-future.livejournal.com 2010-08-01 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Sounds like one big happy tavern." She pauses. "Don't you own that tavern in the City, though?"
governorkang: (Sulking / Mopey)

[personal profile] governorkang 2010-08-01 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
Kang shrugged and smiled wryly, "Technically, no. It really belongs to a friend, but I decided to look after it for him. It's a piece of home, after all."

[identity profile] foreseen-future.livejournal.com 2010-08-01 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
"That's an incredibly kind thing for you to do for your friend," Nura says, smiling warmly.
governorkang: (Looking up)

"He was one of my men, before I retired. After everything we went through together, I owe it to him."

"So then you two were war comrades." She can see people making strong bonds during battles and through perils. Try as many of her teammates would deny it, the Legion was very much interconnected...just more dysfunctional.

She nodded, the champagne allowing her to give a very girlish giggle at the thought of the man who had captured her heart in her own world and even here.
"Yes," she said, her hand clutching her arm awkwardly, but not looking ashamed in any way. "Definitely yes."

Here, Katara gladly took her hand. "I know a little bit, but its not the kind of dance that I know in detail, not like others. Those require more movement. This kind of dancing is still pretty new to me. If you could help me with that, I'd really appreciate it."

"No idea man. But I feel like a tool in this."

Dean looked over at Cas. Huh. He looked better in it than him, and not bad overall.

[identity profile] notadamnangel.livejournal.com 2010-08-01 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
He hadn't got a good look at her yet, he was looking off to the distance.

Dean muttered, "I'd prefer the engine grease to this monkey suit and when I found out who did..." He turned while talking, and his mouth dropped open. He blinked a few times, and then recovered.

"Uh... Kaylee baby... wow, you look... I mean uh...." Congratulations, you've reduced Dean's vocabulary even further.

"So how do you do it right?" Ophelia asked, also watching the awkward moves on the dance floor.
