Summary: The party you've all been waiting for: the Grand Ball of Alexandria!
Location: Palace Alexandria
Date: June 21st, 1803
Warnings: TBA. Eventually, Violence.

For weeks, the palace had been abuzz with activity; even more so than usual. On top of the usual hustle and bustle of daily life, there were the extensive preparations to be done for the festival, and this, the grand finale. The palace's largest ballroom had been decorated from floor to ceiling, wall to wall. Long elaborate draperies of silk and chiffon in white and cream, the stairs lined in a rich, crimson carpeting. Gold and silver everywhere, framing the large windows and the door opening out to the courtyard. A warm summer evening, with the roses in full bloom. Flowers adorned every table, column, and doorway. It wasn't just the ballroom that had been decorated, however; the entire palace was decked in regalia, the staff having obviously anticipated the crowd to be much larger than usual.

All around the palace, inside and out, the guard was on high alert. Every guest was greeted, checked, and in the case of the higher-ranked, announced to the company at large. The sun had not quite set, and already the ballroom was half full; nobles and low-born alike, natives and foreigners, all dressed in their best. The guest of honor had yet to make her appearance, but no one seemed to be fussed by the fact.

But the night was young, and there was bound to plenty of seeing and being seen before the night was over.

[[ooc: Here we go, everyone! Party style still applies. Tag in, tag each other, mingle, HAVE FUN!... while you can. Thread jumping and ninja tagging is encouraged. ^.^]]

Update: A fist fight broke out on page two. Feel free to ninja in to spectate, generally comment or gasp, or just read it and have a laugh. Appropriate authority figures... Squall, Steiner, etc may need to step in.

He shook his head and stated, "Are you always this pessimistic? You were great out there, and you didn't step on my feet that much. Trust me, a lovely lady like yourself will get approached by many guys." Irvine gently grabbed her hand and stated, "I must be off, but it was quite a pleasure dancing with you Terra." He kissed the back of her hand, then left taking a bow to her and walking back into the crowd again.

"It's not, I mean, I don't mean to be..." She honestly wasn't trying to be negative...in her mind, she wasn't being negative. She was just...not understanding. And she honestly believed there were things she just couldn't 'get'.

Still, Irvine was already intent on leaving, though he did manage to get a last blush from Terra when he kissed her hand. "Thank you for the dance." She called out after him before drifting back to her corner.
