WHAT: Last minute prom plans
WARNINGS: ......teenagers?

Aloha all! First off, welcome to all the people who've just come in! To everyone I haven't met yet, I'm Moana!

Second, for everyone who goes to Kaisou Public High, who's planning on going to prom? I know it's kind of last minute since prom is this weekend, but there seems to suddenly be a lot of people who came just in time for the end of the year. If you're thinking about maybe going to prom but don't know anyone or don't want to go by yourself, I'm getting a group of friends together so you're welcome to join us! Just let me know!

((OOC: It's a big group chat, so feel free to reply to each other as well!))

I just got enrolled! Am I allowed to go to Prom at that point?

[findingways]

You're technically a student at the school now, so I'd say so!

Also, welcome!

[a_cute_batata]

Thanks, Moana! Name's Luz Noceda, nice to meet ya!

Prom? What is that?

[Because alas, Japan does not do proms.]

[findingways]

[ Moana isn't really surprised by that, honestly. ]

It's pretty much like a dance party for high school students at the end of the year. Pretty formal, and people tend to make a big deal out of it, but it can be fun.

[whatsamada]

Is that so? I didn't know big dance parties were a big deal in American high schools.

I just know that in Japan, we never had something like this.

[Not that he would actually go and dance in front of a bunch of people but...!]

[findingways]

I thought you would! I might need your help convincing some of the other kids to come along.

Check it out!



Mom and I found it just last week!

[nonmagical]

Oh wow, that's beautiful! You're going to look GREAT!

[findingways]

Long story short, it's a formal dance party for high school students!

[laminae]

[That would definitely be a thing Finn would be down for. Fern, though? He's still trying to process being here, away from Ooo, and not getting the chance to destroy things.]

What is a prom? [As both homeschooled and from Europe, she has no idea what it is.]

[findingways]

It's a dance for the students to have fun at the end of the year. Everyone dresses up pretty fancy, and just go out to have fun. Usually people like to go out to dinner before the dance, and there are usually a lot of smaller parties afterwards.

[onebadapple]

[As soon as Moana used the word "fun," Snow White knew exactly what her stepmother would think of it.]

Oh, that sounds lovely! I wish I could go. I hope you have lots of fun, Moana.

I don't know if I have time for a party. We have exams to study for and I've got a LOT of catching up to do.

Don't you think it's a really bad time for an over-the-top party?

[The fact prom is used to relax and de-stress before exams has not occurred to him. ]

[findingways]

Wow, are they really making you take finals even though you just got here?

[ That's pretty harsh. ]

That's actually the perfect time for a party! A time to have fun with the whole school before needing to focus on exams. If we waited until after exams are over, we'd be too tired to enjoy ourselves!

[droptheious]

Techincally no. I can take summer school, which I'm gonna do anyway, for MORE learning. But I want to see if I can do it anyway.

[He's a nerd who makes himself suffer, Moana.]

I'd have thought people would be too tired studying FOR the exams. Like, do people not have revision regimes to stick to?

[No, Varian, that's just you. ]

[camaleonico]

I'll go with you guys!
no clue what to expect but sounds like a big deal.
we have to wear formal clothes, right?

[ He's not so sure his Sunday-best from the Encanto is going to cut it for this... just a gut feeling. Moana seems like she's in the know about the norms here, and she's been nice so far. But Camilo's biting at the bit for a chance to be part of some kind of friend group, so seems like the perfect jump in. ]

[findingways]

Awesome! I knew I could count on you!
It's pretty much like a big dance party, so not much to really expect
Yeah it's pretty formal. Are you gonna be able to get something together in time? I could send you some pictures of what people tend to wear, if that'll help
