Dragon's Tear Ballroom

[The Watcher]

The Dragon's Tear

The students would arrive by teleportation. From the academy direct to the beautiful cruise ship named the Dragon's Tear. It was one that had been bought by the Arcane Academy for just this occasion. Long had the students attended the academy without dances and proms. But this year with the influx of younger students the teachers and staff had decided it was time to give the students a celebration. A night off magic a night of fun and dancing. A night of normality as far as it could go at a magic school anyway.

Everything was set for the prom. Everything was ready for the students to arrive. Chaperons had been decided. The venues had been created. It would be a night to remember for couples and for friends. Magic and music would be giving the students a night off and night to be together. Mingle and meet.

The Dragon's Tear was a top of the line cruise ship. The academy purchase for such occasions as this, yet this will be the first official use of the ship. Compeltely refurbished by magic it was now a ship of pure beauty and regality. The rooms had been redone as if it was to house royalty and not a few hundred students from a magical academy. The rooms that had once house cheap stages for wanna be singers now housed grand ball rooms and five star restaurants.

Upon entering the students will be escorted down a short hallway to the main ballroom. This ballroom is where the main dance will be held. The entire ship has been dedicated to the prom and this is where the dancing and music is.

The ballroom has a full string orchestra in the upper right hand corner and in the left is the band Pyro a seemingly famous band that played a varying degree of music sure to please each of the genre's that may be most popular within' the school. The rooms chandeleer will be dimmed so that the light is soft and there is plenty of room to move around and dance easily. This is where the announcements for prom king and queen will be given and this is the main room of the ship and the prom.

[Sieg]

Sieg clenched and unclenched his fists out of nervousness and agitation as Atticus finished tieing his tie. The tie had been the last piece of his suit for prom. Prom, god it had felt like yesterday when he saw the announcement and decided to ask Fiona. He grinned a little as he looked in the mirror and gave himself a quick inspection. He didn't want to sound egotistical or anything but he thought he looked pretty damn sharp. Sieg grinned at Atticus and patted his shoulder gently as he moved to grab the corsage he had picked up for Fi.

"See you Attticus," he said, waving back to the construct as he headed out the door, "Oh and don't wait up," he called as he moved down the hallway to pick up Fiona. He straightened his time nervously as he knocked softly on her door. When she answered he had been a little dumbfounded at first at how good she looked. He shakily slipped the corsage over her wrist with a sheepish grin. She could probably tell he was pretty nervous but excited about this dance.

He led her down the stairs towards the teleporter the Academy had set up for this event. Sieg squeezed her hand gently with a grin as they stepped into together. The minute they stepped out the other side they were ushered into a large and lavish ballroom. Sieg could only smile at how lavish this all seemed.

"May I have the first dance?" he asked with a grin as he offered her his hand with a jokingly exaggerated gesture.

[Fi]

Fi was nervous. She had smoothed out her dress over and over again as she waited impatiently in her room for her date, Seig to come pick her up for the prom. She was beyond nervous. It was scary. What if he didn't like her dress. What if she stepped on his feet. What if she sucked at dancing.

The knock sounded on her door and she froze. Taking a very deep breath she opened the door and smiled brightly. He was amazingly handsome. Just gorgeous. Watch out girls, this one is mine! She thought to herself as Seig very nervously placed a coursage on her hand. She blushed and kissed his cheek. She had curled her red hair and pulled it back slightly so that it fell down around her shoulders just right.

Taking his hand he led her to the teleporter. She had never stepped through one of these before and she had to admit she just didn't want to get lost. He squeezed her hand and she squezzed back as they stepped through.

The ballroom was breathtaking. She had never seen anything of the like before and the splendor took her breath away. Seig turned to her and offered her the first dance. She smiled and blushed.

"I would love to." she said softly.

[Sieg]

Sieg nodded with a smile as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer. The song the band was currently playing was a rather slow song so he simply started swaying to the song holding her into his arms. He smiled down at her as he held her close just enjoying holding her like this. Sieg started to feel his nervousness and aprehension fading as he held her closely dancing gently to the music.

"Having a good time?" he asked with a smile as he looked down at her. She looked absolutely stunning right now and he was really having trouble realizing that she was here with him. She was with him and no one else and right now Sieg felt like the luckiest guy on earth.

[Fi]

His arms went around her waist and she smiled as he led her onto the dance floor. The music was slow as the orchestra was playing now. She liked the soft music and she let Seig lead her around the dance floor as her lavender eyes stared up into his eyes.

"I am having the most wonderful time." she said softly as she danced with him. Her skirt flaring around her when they turned. The whole dance floor was huge and there was plenty of room to move around in here.

"Seig, I love you." she said softly as she blushed and smiled letting him lead her still. She had really not gotten out much at the academy and knew no one else in the room but perhaps she could meet a few while she was here with Seig. He was so fun to be with she knew he would have a lot of friends.

[Lexandra]

Lexi tapped her high heeled foot. Xav was running on time or late but he sure as hell wasn't early and that made her pissed. Damn if only Shadow had worked with her dress. She smoothed down the silk foldes of her skirt as she waited.

Damn. Why was she here? Xav. That was the easy answer. He had asked and she had a soft spot for the kid. He was sweet. She wondered for a moment if Biz was coming to but she didn't see where he would. But she was hoping that Xav wouldn't mind that her dress wasn't one that was frilly and lacey. It was simple and damnit. That boy better be happy she was in a dress period.

The main thing he would notice was that her hair was down. She never wore it down. Except to bed. And he would now be seeing it curled slightly but she still had her maroon highlights that gave it her own flare. And so just outside the teleporters she waited for him. Her foot tapping more out of nerves but it would look like she was pissed. She could only grin at that thought.

[Xavier]

Xavier walked down the hallway as fast as he could. He glanced at his watch again and shook his head with a groan. He wasn't late but he wasn't exactly early either. He would make it just on time and he knew that was something that would piss Lexi off. Xavier didn't want her pissed off, at least not today, today was a pretty special day. It was prom day and Xavier was decked out in a full-fledged tux, he felt like such a dork in it but whatever it couldn't have looked that bad.

He adjusted his tie as he stopped at her door. Xavier had even thought ahead and bought her a corsage. He knocked on the door with a grin. Xavier knew that despite the yelling or at least the sarcastic verbal jabbing he knew he was going to get, she was excited too. As much as she didn't want to admit it Xavier could tell she was just excited about tonight as he was.

Xavier once again nervously adjusted his tie. He hoped he looked alright, despite her usual sarcastic nature he really did kind of care whether or not she thought he looked good. Xavier wasn't at all worried about what Lex looked like, he was sure whatever kind of dress she had gotten she looked great in.

[Lexandra]

Lexi heard the knock on her door and Drake as trained went nuts. Barking and growling at the door. If anyone that didn't know Drake or Lexi heard that they would more than likely leave without bothering them again.

"Down Drake" she said softly in a nervous voice and Drake went and curled up on the bed.

She pet the dog and kissed the top of his head. Those that knew Lex would think that was weird as unaffectionate as the girl was she only showed it to those that deserved it. Drake was one of the two that did deserve it. She pet him one last time before she opened her door and assumed the 'I'm pissed' pose.

"'Bout time don'tcha think?" she asked as she stepped out of her room.

Her dress only came to her knees and it clung to her upper body just right. There were no straps on the shoulder and a small useless belt went around her small waist. He looked sharp. She grinned and kissed his temple.

"Nice suit." she whispered as she stood there waiting for him to lead the way.

[Xavier]

Xavier chuckled as she opened the door, with a posture that told him she was pissed at him. He only shook his head as she stepped out questioning why he took so long. Xavier was beginning to be able to predict her responses quite accurately. He grinned as he looked over quickly, she certainly did look great. The dress was perfect for her and Xavier knew he was going to have trouble keeping his eyes on her.

"Well why are you complaining I'm here now, aren't I?" he said with a smirk as he slipped the the corsage on her wrist. He paused for a second as he couldn't keep his eyes off of her again, "Uh yea...you look fantastic," he said with a grin. He slipped his arm around her waist, he decided to finally take charge here, "Let's go!" he said with a chuckle as he led her down the hallway to the teleporter.

He led her through the teleporter and they were soon in the ballroom. There was only one other couple there so far and it was currently a slow song. Xavier wasn't exactly sure if Lex would want to dance to a slow song but he'd try anyway, "C'mon let's dance," he said as he grabbed her hand and started to lead her out on the dance floor.

[Lexandra]

The dress was totally worth it. The reaction she got out of Xav was enough to give her enough reason wear it for the rest of the night. She ran a hand through her loose hair. It felt weird having it down and not being asleep. But it was worth the look on Xav's face for all of it.

He placed some sort of flower contraption on her wrist and she smiled. She touched it gently. Any color would have matched a black dress but she liked it. Mostly because he had picked it out for her. She felt his arm hook around her waist and she smiled despite herself. This night was too special to give him a hard time over things like this and besides she was enjoying it. She liked that he was finding out she was more bark than bite and not only that but that she actually enjoyed that he was taking charge. She liked that though she had never told him that.

She leaned against him slightly. Probably to the shock of Xav as she was totally ready for prom and she was embracing this date thing. That's what it was supposed to be anyway. A date. They made it to the teleporter and stepped through onto a glorious ship. Her eyes went wide with the oppulence. It was fantastic. In the ballroom a redhead and her boyfriend had the floor and her dress was.. well it was HUGE. Poor girl.

Before she knew it she was dragged out on the dancefloor by Xav and she could only smile. He was such a fun little guy. Her curls bounced as she ran. She put her arms on his shoulder as the song continued and she smiled up at Xav letting him lead her in the dance.

"They wasted a lot of money on this." she commented to Xav.

[Xavier]

Xavier couldn't help but grin as she seemed more than happy to just let him take the lead and pull her onto the dance floor. He could tell by the grin on her face that she liked the reaction her dress was getting out of him and he really didn't mind either. With a grin he pulled her a little closer as he wrapped his arms around her waist and started to dance to the slow tune that the band was currently playing.

He chuckled at her comment, "Oh you know you love it," he said with a grin, "Besides it's not a waste, if things work out we might only have to share this whole boat with just those two," he said with a smirk, "You really do look great, I'm surprised you got all dressed up for little old me, you even let your hair down," he said with another chuckle and a grin, "It really does look better that way though," he said as the grin grew into a soft smile and he leaned forward and kissed her gently. he had tested the limits of his luck already tonight and he was ready to push the boundaries even further. Hell it was prom night he was ready to try anything.

[Darian Dumonte]

Darian was wearing an elegant suit tonight that was a deep black with white embroidery and trim. The dress shoes had brightly polished silver on them and the cuffs of the shirt and jacket were gemstudded. He was wearing a mantle to give the entire outfit a more regal look almost. It fitted him well being custom-tailored the silver silk shirt under the jacket just making him truly regal at the moment. On one of his hands sparkled his engagement ring to the woman that he was now waiting for. He gave a smile at that as he gently touched the ring. He had recently proposed to Shea and she had accepted he still living on the bliss of that moment of acceptance from her. Orchid and Bella had been sent away for the night they causing their own ruckus somewhere and they could always use Shea's room if it rained.

Which is a good thing Orchid would have bitched if he was stuck in the dorm all the time.

He ran his fingers through his hand again as he held the crosage in his hand waiting for Shea. He had already knocked on the door agreeing to pick her up so they could head to the prom togeather and in style.

[Kheldar]

The tie's too tight...

The collar is chaffing...

Jade is going with me...

I don't think living is on my menu tonight. Or at least living my way...

Kheldar was already at Jade's door and knocked on it. Six o'clock just as he errrr she had browbeated him into. He gave a rueful chuckle as he checked his watch while waiting for her. Jade was definantly influencing quite a few changes on him not all of them he was comfortable with at the moment but, he had to deal with it. After all with Jade he was living things a bit differently and he had to admit that it wasn't so bad. The prom was supposed to be a magical night or something like that but, for Kheldar it was something that he was hoping his neck could endure. He had a sneaky feeling he had made the tie too tight as he patiently waited at her door.

"This is going to be a long night..." Kheldar murmured as he drummed his fingers against the wall lightly while waiting.

[Corsair]

Corsair stood in the ballroom near one of the entrances waiting for Midori. He was wearing the suit she had found when they were looking for clothes. It was a wonderfully trim and elegant looking suit that was actually designed without a tie. His shades were not with him as of this night and his hair had been combed back with it tied in a short ponytail. A few strands hung around his face giveing a rougish yet regal look.

He also had a box in his hand. It's contents were the surprise he had brought for Midori. He was glad he was able to see what color the dress she had was. And he couldn't wait to see her in it. He hoped she did what she said she might do and had her wings showing. They enraptured him to no end. he knew if things went well tonight it might be the first step to a long relationship.

[Midori]

Midori stepped through the teleporter. She was nervous. She was in a nice dress. A rather sexy one so someone had commented on her way through the school to the teleporter itself. She smoothed down the silken folds of her dress in nerves and pushed her wings out of her back. He liked them and she wanted him to see them again. She had promised she would let him if he was nice. And he had been nothing but nice.

Taking a deep breath she entered the ball room in her dress and blushed. There weren't that many people here yet and she felt a bit self conscious with wings, dress and all. She had curled her hair and pulled it back. Taking roses from her plants in her room she twined them up in her hair so she had a very natural look about her this evening.

She saw Cor waiting for her in his suit and she blushed and smiled. Her high heels echoing off the hardwood floors as she made her way to her date. Small curled tendrills of hair fell to the right of her face.

"Good evening." she said in her sweet smoothe voice. "You look ravishing." she added with a shy smile.
