Event || The New Year

[melodiesmods]

Characters: Anyone!
Where: The Enterprise.
When: The Night from December 31st to January 1st.
Summary: A Ball aboard the Enterprise, for well-dressed (mostly) Heroes of Light and their friends who want to dance and (especially) eat for free.
Warning: Nothing.

While the passing from a year to another isn't as big of an event as the Starlight Celebration, it is no reason to pass up an ocasion to celebrate and have fun. There are fireworks in all major cities and various activities to enjoy. Noticeably, there are gatherings of people in Aqures Ixen and Trano Golsaucia in particular, if only to conclude what is one of the most celebrated week in the year, and wish to each other the best possible year to come-- Though most people are worried about what's to come soon. After all, the end might be nigh with the Calamity about to take over the planet...

To celebrate this, the Heroes of Light have all been invited to stay aboard the Enterprise for a particularly prestigious and animated Ball. Indeed, the Enterprise will from Aqures Ixen and go all the way to Mysidia at midnight-- This way, New Year is going to last even longer than normal thanks to the magic of timezones.

There are tables with foods for everyone to eat and of course, music for people to dance together if they so wish. There is also a consequent number of chairs lined up, for all those who refuse to dance or are too awkward to do so.

"How romantic," she mused with her hands clasped together. She knew he was serious but the words were very sincere. It seemed like the two of them had a strong relationship. She earnestly hoped that it will work out forthe both of them.

"I can see why you want to fulfill that promise. It must be tough being in this world, though on all kinds of levels if you know what I mean. Indeed, tonight would be the best night for something like that huh?"

People were amazing beings in their own right.

"Yeah, it has been. And I do want to talk to her tonight. I just have to find her." He craned his neck, looking around at the gathered crowd in a vain attempt to spot her.

[wings_of_steel]

"Maybe I can assist in looking out for her? What does she look like?" she chimes softly as he craned his neck, "while we have this dance?" she mused with a chuckle.

It would be a clever way to go and scope out people as well and Selen was no stranger when it came to dancing. She rather enjoyed it and it's also another way to bond with other people. She wondered if Cloud knew how to ballroom dance.

[neverfirstclass]

Cloud was so focused on his own wants, on looking for Tifa and trying to settle things with her that it took a moment for him to realize what Selen was offering.

"W-what? Dance? I..." He looked around furitively, not sure what to do about it. The irony of the situation was that even this was fundamentally new to him.

But she knew that he was looking for Tifa and maybe she could help. There was no harm in it. "Sure, I guess. I'm not really sure how though."

[wings_of_steel]

He seemed very concentrated, she'd give him that. She waited patiently, still for his answer as he stumbled on his words. She chuckled some at the reaction. She wouldn't mind teaching her friends how to dance. It's quite fun on her part to be honest. She offered a hand to him.

"I can teach you if you aren't too embarrassed by the idea. We can keep an eye out for your friend. Perhaps, then you could offer ha dance of sorts?"

She teasingly chuckled.

[neverfirstclass]

"Uh, yeah, that'd be nice." He still felt really awkward, but the suggestion of being taught so he could dance with Tifa put him a bit more at ease. He just hoped that she wouldn't finally see him and then misunderstand. There was enough confusion between them already.

[wings_of_steel]

"Certainly," she chimed with a big smile on her face.

She offered him her hand, "Shall we have this dance then, Cloud?"

Selen would do her best to help him learn how to dance. Of course if there were misunderstandings, Selen wouldn't mind explaining their situation as professionally as possible.
