Fall Formal Dance

[knitsock]

THE DANCING MEME
young and sweet, only seventeen

There's so many reasons why people dance. For fun, for tradition, for community, for courting, for taunting your enemies. Maybe you're just friends, maybe you're having a father-daughter (or parent-child) dance, maybe you're dating or almost dating. Gen or shippy, either is fine, as long as you're dancing!

Post your preferences and maybe a starter, then tag around!

PROMPTS
ONE. Spontaneous Dancing
You're doing something else, maybe out somewhere, maybe seemingly alone in your apartment when you just feel the urge. The song you're listening to is really catchy or you just got good news. Does the other person get invited? Join in on their own accord? Just watch? Is it a flash mob? Whatever the reason, you’re dancing now!

TWO. A Celebration
It's a wedding! Or maybe a festival, holiday, school dance, or birthday party. Point is, it's an occasion. There's music and a dance floor and no reason why not to let loose! Be is fast paced to the dj, slow dance with a partner, or traditional dance, it's all part of the celebration.

THREE. A Gala
It's not just any kind of event, it's fancy. There's probably someone pretty rich throwing it, and you better be dressed up nice. Chances are you're just as likely to be here dancing for business just as much pleasure. Maybe you're even here to steal something, or make political connections, or fundraise for charity. But dancing is part of the deal so take your partner's hand and lead them out on the dancefloor!

FOUR. Masquerade
Much like the gala, it's fancy. Or it could be a Halloween party. Either way, everyone is wearing some kind of costume and mask. Who is this mysterious person you're dancing with? A stranger? Friend? Enemy? Frememy? A mystery. Or perhaps not a mystery, but you can pretend!

FIVE. Clubbing
It's a bar or club or hey, maybe a sock hop, and you're here to have fun. Drinks optional, music loud, dance floor crowded. Be it with friends or a date, you're going to dance tonight. Feel the beat of the tambourine.

SIX. Performance
Ballet recital, music video, talent show, traditional ceremony -- you’re not just dancing, you’re dancing for an audience. Everyone’s eyes are on you and your partner, so let’s hope you don’t get stage fright!

SEVEN. Wildcard.

[ lets boogie she loves dancing good at it or not ]

Paul Atreides | Dune

[desertpowered]

[Dance with the space duke.]

Chrissy Cunningham | Stranger Things

[bubblegumheart]

[Default 80's flavor available, or willing to AU her for fun and profit.]

Minako Aino | Sailor Venus [] Sailor Moon

[vinasu]

Geto Suguru | Jujutsu Kaisen | Voice Testing

[eatingcursesout]

[I'd like to think Geto is either a decent dancer or a horrible dancer, but more the former--Probably clubbing after a job to try and unwind.

Flexible on the timeframe, though it'll likely be his late teens/around JJK: 0 era. Willing to do AU things, discuss first if it veers into shipping territory.]

Rebecca Bluegarden | Eden Zero | M/F

[catleaping]

[ Rebecca's enthusiastic, energetic and flexible so she can keep up with people on the dance floor - and being nimble, she isn't likely to step on toes. ]

Night Sky | Original | OTA

[wildwarden]

( It's probably a wild forest party and very spontaneous. )

Nick Nelson | Heartstopper | OTA

[biactually]

[Probably not One. Five is a maybe if he was dragged there by his rugby mates.]

[madginger]

[Very open to any of these.]

Laura Hale | Teen Wolf

[raisealittlehale]

Elora | DnD 5e OC

[seasonably]

[Elora is an Eladrin Circle of the Moon druid who is a liiiiiittle bit of a chaotic neutral chaos gremlin. This is likely to be a dance in the forest or else a tavern in some town. A fancy party is not out of the realm of possibility, though.]

eula lawrence / genshin impact

[ Would you like to drag the broody Archfae of the Lake Viviane's human son to dance? Depending what time point you do it for, your character that is. Either when she is a fae/dryad he wouldn't have issues, but as a elven woman par her story. He would not touch her! We could even do CR where he knew her before, and now, curiously, he seems to have no problem with her close to him.

I like to with some head canon in mind, make it that Lancelot can live a bit longer bc he hangs out in the Faekind realm so much and has slowly adapted some of their traits. For instance he has feminine aligned prettier traits, but 6'3, lanky, and overall masculine- he just has a pretty face with more pointed ears.

Let me know if you would like to write something? Could do a wild forest party hosted by fae, and Lancelot just happens to be there. ]

[wildwarden]

( Oh my god the idea of him suddenly being okay with being close to her as a fae is actually kind of cute?? I'm all in for it. And funnily enough! The Forest of Dreams where she lives kind of does that to people re: make them more fae-like because of the weird magic in the area, so that's also super cool.

Also, bonus points for size difference.

We can say Night Sky invited him too, if you prefer that option! Also. Do you want to keep it gen or are you cool with easing into shippy/flirty because Sky is the latter but I can tone it down lol. )
