FANCY BALL MEME


Time to go to the ball! Early or late, the food is exquisite, the music is an endless dream and the tide of taffeta creates the most wonderful wave around you. Are you here to find true love, to steal, to impress, to dance, or just for the incredible food? Perhaps you'll meet "the One"!

RULES
• Leave a comment with your character's name and fandom.
RNG for a number between 1-10 to get your options. Mix and match!
• Have fun!
SCENARIOS

001 DANCING | One person asks another to dance.
002 MINGLING |
Chatting in one of the lavish rooms or in the gardens.
003 INTRIGUE |
You're not here to while the night away. Heists, assassinations, kidnappings, political backstabbing...your purpose tangoes with the more sinister.
004 LOST |
The castle is huge! One person is lost, the other knows where the ball is.
005 MIDNIGHT | The clock has struck, your clothes have turned to rags!
006 KEEPSAKE |
It might not be a glass slipper but someone has lost something and you're here to return it.
007 HOSTING |
Ugh. Why are you doing this again? Oh. Yeah, your family, kingdom, or business is hosting the whole affair.
008 LIVERIED |
Ball? You're here to work! Who else is going to clean up the sick on those rose bushes? Tsk.
009 MASQUERADE | A party with extra mystery. Remove the mask if you're feeling daring.

"I still hate that you have to do that, live so many years without me and be forced to roam all alone.", she said softly, her voice straining just a bit. There was so much guilt, she felt and as they continued dancing, it only seemed to weigh her down even more. Despite that though, she knew he didn't want to or rather he wouldn't accept her feeling about this given his own devotion to her. So she decided it was best to move onto that little fantasy she brought up.

As the music began to change behind them, she switched the position of her arms and hands, guiding him towards a new pattern of dancing. In the meantime she thought about his question before finally answering.

"Of course I'm certain, after everything we've been through, the things we've shared I want....no I need more. I want to spend an entire day together showing our true feelings for one another, even if it's the last time. It should be special." The casual embraces and kisses they were able to share between the chaos of each mission and destination they went to in order to search for Diva wasn't enough. Not for someone like Haji who had spent so long without Saya.

"It is not as bad as you may feel." It was his truth, even apart, he could feel her in a way. Knowing she was safe and hibernating while he explored the world. Nothing would be as bad as his time post-Vietnam, but there were many nights of walking through Paris or seeing operas that helped make the time less dreadful. If he could sleep, it would be different. "I know I will always find you when the time is right." Almost like he expected another 30 years. He didn't, hoping for it was damning more to Diva. As selfish as he wanted to be.

Letting her take the lead, he moved fluidly along with her, almost as if a boy again learning from her. It was never a challenge to follow Saya in any way.

A rarity happened then. Haji smiled. Soft and fleeting, never like before her rampage, but it was there. "I would like that very much, Saya. If we are able too." Oh, he had dreamed of such things for so long, but what were the chances an attack wouldn't happen? Or someone would show up? He leaned in, a bold moment, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead without missing a dance step.
