Event: Eiko's Birthday Ball

Characters: OPEN to all party guests
Progress: Ongoing
Summary: A big party for a small girl. Yep, it's Eiko's birthday and she's having a ball.
Location: Lindblum Grand Castle
Date: March 21st, 1804
Warnings: N/A so far

Nobody could say that Regent Cid wasn't generous when it came to his adopted daughter, Eiko. In fact, some said that he was too indulgent. But on this, the evening of Eiko's tenth birthday, the citizens of Lindblum were ready and eager to celebrate. A free ball! Free drinks, free food, and a free pass into Lindblum Grand Castle. Many had failed to acquire tickets in time and were disappointed, but the lucky few piled eagerly into the castle.

Security was tight, and every single guest was checked by the guards before being allowed to enter. Once inside, they would find a wide and sumptuously decorated ballroom. A small group of musicians played slow and ambient music, while the party guests swayed across the floor dressed in all their finery. What could only be described as a flock of moogles flew or scurried around the room, offering glasses of champagne and various sweet treats. Regent Cid himself sat on a grand throne at the head of the room, nodding graciously at the guests who came to pay their respects. 

The ball was already in full swing, and the party would go on for a long while yet.

[ooc: Don't worry if you didn't comment to Regent Cid's earlier post requesting tickets. Handwaving is just fine if you want to hop in. It's party style - go tag and mingle! Thread jumping and ninja tagging is encouraged.]

[ooc: Eiko has made a very loud announcement about a celebrity couple's engagement. Feel free to overhear, react or congratulate.]

It didn't really surprise him that Celes didn't believe him, but in this case he had really hoped to muster the courage to ask her himself. He shyly looked down to his feet, "I'm worried about stepping on your toes."

Was that all he was worried about? Celes fixed him with a confused expression. "I've had much worse step on my toes." Like that huge Cactuar for one. "Nothing can hurt as much as a suit of armor falling on a bare foot."

Locke could only swallow hard as he hastily assured her that he wouldn't knock any suits of armor on her feet. He relaxed a little when he quickly surveyed the room and didn't see too many heavy items to knock over.

He nervously looked towards the dance floor where people were doing things he didn't think possible. He hesitantly took a step that direction as his palms started to sweat.

"You ready?"
