WHAT THIS IS
This is a player-run event that is open to everyone! It's a charity ball with a Christmas theme, thrown by Yoosung's family's charity organization Kim Fundraising Association, which will be gathering funds tonight to help with rebuilding and rehoming efforts for the destruction caused by the dinosaurs in August (though they're calling it destruction from a storm).
It takes place in Kaisou Royal Hotel, a large and ostentatious building within Kaisou's Entertainment District. Those entering should be wearing something at least attempting to be formal (the rules are lax for Librans) and need to show the presence of the Libra app on their phone in order to enter (unless they're part of the socialite elite who got formal invitations anyway).

THINGS TO DO
December 17th, 6pm. Tonight, the hotel is decorated richly with golds and greens and reds, poinsettias and lilies, as well as a large Christmas tree in the lobby with a donation lock box in front of it, which a guard is keeping an eye on.
There is valet parking and even a red carpet entrance, even if there aren't a million photographers lined up to catch a celebrity snapshot. It's meant to make those invited feel special!

THE BALLROOM
The ballroom is quite possibly the largest many of the Librans have seen, with chandeliers and a large upside down decorated Christmas tree hanging down from the center. There is a second story balcony that surrounds the perimeter of the ballroom, where people can go to step away from the immediate social activities and look down upon the dancefloor and the stage where a live classical band plays for part of the night. Later in the night there will be a DJ playing more modern music.
FOOD & DRINK
Surrounding the dancefloor are tables of food both savory and sweet, and tables and chairs for people to sit and eat. The punch and ice water are also located here, while the open bar is in the lobby and serves all sorts of liquor as well as non-alcoholic sodas. Waiters will also be coming around with champagne glasses throughout the night.
THE GARDENS
If one wishes to truly take a step away from the bustle and noise, there are large doors set off the ballroom that exit into a winter wonderland garden. It's lit by sparse lanterns but mostly trails of individual candles with flickering flames marking out the paths in the snow. There are tall hedges and trees decorated with fairy lights, as well as a large gazebo. One may find sprigs of both mistletoe and mistlefoe here.

Thank you.
[He'll take the glass in his hands. Good. Varian makes enough bad decisions while sober we do not need to put alcohol into the equation. Though with that question, Elliot will happily take a sip himself. Ah yes, please Varian. Bring up his curse in a public venue]
Ahah... oh those? It's... a long story. [Take a HINT kid] But a wolf tail and claws huh? When did that start?
no subject
Oh. It is? Sorry, I- uh. I thought they were part of the...recent spate of changes.
[Look at him, picking up on the hint!]
This month? Just- just a week ago. I know it's happened to other people, too- same time. So it seems to be a reaction to something.
no subject
Eheh...nope. I've been cursed since March. My potion just stopped working as well lately, that's all. But I have a friend looking into it, but there's no need to worry!
[He's got this please don't try anything Varian]
A week ago? That was when... [Yuri and Yusuke experienced the same. Which considering what they had done the day before that... ] ...ah, nevermind.
Have you been feeling okay? Besides the uh ... changes.
no subject
Okay...but if you ever need any ingredients or...equipment, I can help.
[He can't help but offer all the same. But at least he isn't pushing himself right into it- he's trying to learn! He nods as Elliot places the timeframe right- he sure hasn't missed that himself and as much as he knew what was done had to be done, the guilt of lying to Snow does linger. He reaches over to grab a snack off the nearby table. He doesn't eat it, instead just picking at it, focusing on that instead.]
I'm...okay. [That's not very convincing. ] It's been a busy month. With everything.
no subject
[....Which boy, he hopes it doesn't come to that. He rather not get the kids wrapped into his own problems. They have enough they have to deal with.
And...yeah, that's not convincing at all. He gives a worried look at Varian, unsure if he should press further. If he even has that right anymore.]
...Yeah, it has been.
no subject
[There he is with that need to prove himself again- one day he might be self-aware enough to realise how exhausting that has to be for the people around him, but today is not that day. He lets out a soft hum at Elliot's comment- he doesn't want to dig too deep - especially not in public- he doesn't want his teacher to end up in any trouble. ]
I'll be okay, though. [He feels like the reassurance is...important, maybe.] I mean- nothing I haven't dealt with before. I'll figure it out.
no subject
[Even if Varian has issues with wanting to prove himself, it's not like wanting to help people is a BAD thing.]
...Right. [It's good not to get too deep into it right now. And honestly even if they could...Elliot's still figuring out what he's supposed to say.] I'm sure you will Varian. Sometimes you go a little overboard, but you got a good heart.
no subject
[He's never been able to experience school before, and it's frustrating to him to think so many hurdles are in place stopping people from learning to their full potential!]
And it's okay, I'm- I'm happy to help however I can.
[Always with that need to help. He nods softly- taking no small amount of comfort from that- sometimes it's nice to know that people still think his heart is good. ]
Thanks. I um- I appreciate that. [He taps the side of whatever treat he's not-eating.] Have you been enjoying the party?
no subject
[He gives a nod at the thanks, not pushing more on that and rather following the topic]
Oh yeah, it's been nice. Usually at these kind of events I'm playing in the band, but tonight I'm just here with my boyfriend. So it's nice to be on the guest side for once!
no subject
[He's used to there being A King in charge and people just go to Court to ask him to fix things. But the future world is so much more complicated than that. There are people of varying levels, with different control over different things. It's not like you can have an audience with the one person who runs everything.]
Hah, that's nice. I'm glad you get to have a break and just enjoy the party.
no subject
No, there isn't. Sometimes something is beyond your power of changing and you just have to make the best of it.
[None of them had the power to change the entire education system and how budgets are made. All Elliot had control over was his own classroom]
Mm, me too. I should probably be getting back to him, I only came here to get us some drinks.
no subject
Oh. That's...a real shame. It doesn't sound fair at all.
[But then, things aren't always fair, even he knows that. He rubs the back of his neck. ]
Oh- y-yeah, of course! I should probably go check what Fern is up to. Just in case he uh...got into a fight with someone or something.
no subject
[He gives a shrug, not about to go further than that with the "life's not fair" lectures. He's sure Varian has already heard those, and it was supposed to be a fun occasion right now.]
Haha, yeah, try to make sure he takes any fights outside the dance hall. [Making sure Fern never fights is impossible ok]
You have a fun evening, okay? Other matters can be dealt with later, but you deserve a night of fun as much as anyone else.
no subject
I make absolutely no promises, but I'll do my best to um...re-direct when I can.
[He's pretty sure he can convince Fern to fight on the balcony at least! He smiles.]
Hah, thanks. I'll do my best! You too.
no subject
Ehe, just try your best. Have a fun evening, Varian! And remember, no alcohol!
[HE HASN'T FORGOTTEN. He'll give a bit of a wave before he heads off to the bar to get another drink and then head back to his boyfriend]
no subject
Yeah, yeah, no alcohol.
[Whatever, GRANDPA, ruin his life why don't you, so unfair, it's so HARD to be a teenager :<
Still, he'll do as he's told and let Elliot alone to have a nice evening with his boyfriend and not even start a SINGLE fire. ]
