A Night in West Egg

WHO: EVERYBODY OF ALL AGES
WHERE: The Xavier Institute
WHEN: The night of June 16th, all night!
WARNINGS: Who can really tell anymore? Probable language. Possible violence. Copious dancing.
SUMMARY: PROM PROM PROM PROM PROM PROM PROM
FORMAT: OPEN

The guests into an auditorium transformed. Through the magic of papier mache, the room has been decked out like a speakeasy, the refreshments laid out on a very makeshift bar that will not stock alcohol as long as they can prevent it. The whole room is cast with a cool blue light, and a jazz band's been hired to take the stage for an hour before leaving the rest of the evening to the DJ.

It was time to get this party started.

She needs more friends around her age. [ Taking ten year-old boys as dates to prom is sort of strange... ]

[lmao look at little kate.......]

So do I.
gevurah: (bah humbug)

[personal profile] gevurah 2012-06-19 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ HEH... ]

Well, the Porter seems keen on teenagers, too. If it's not Gothamites then it's kids...
recurve: (; prom dress)

[personal profile] recurve 2012-06-19 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
At least we're not alone.
gevurah: (bette why are you orange)

[personal profile] gevurah 2012-06-19 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
I'd rather you were all at home. Your homes.
recurve: (; pb ; hooded)

[personal profile] recurve 2012-06-19 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Not all of us have good homes.
gevurah: (oh wow nope)

[personal profile] gevurah 2012-06-19 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think this is the better alternative.

[ But she's incredibly biased... ]
recurve: (; leave me alone)

[personal profile] recurve 2012-06-19 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
For some it might be.
gevurah: (i shall become a lesbian)

[personal profile] gevurah 2012-06-19 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
Would you rather stay here, Kate?
recurve: (; omgwtf)

[personal profile] recurve 2012-06-19 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
[She hesitates a little. What can she say except the truth?]

Sometimes. I'd rather have one home instead of two.
gevurah: (:I)

[personal profile] gevurah 2012-06-19 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
I have a hard time seeing this place as a second home.
recurve: (; talking with my hands)

[personal profile] recurve 2012-06-19 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
That's because the hope of home is still there for you.
gevurah: (maggie you're so insecure)

[personal profile] gevurah 2012-06-19 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Yours as well, Kate.

[ Right? It seems odd for someone as young as her to accept this place so easily. ]
recurve: (; don't be a player hater)

[personal profile] recurve 2012-06-19 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. That's what makes it so hard. But it's not all about me. I love my home, but some of us kids have really, really crappy worlds. Some don't have worlds at all anymore.
gevurah: laughs he who laughs last (did you put nipple armor on this)

[personal profile] gevurah 2012-06-20 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Starting over is never bad. [ But... ] Adults will still worry, though. Some of the kids here have gone through a lot.

[ Ruka. :( ]
recurve: (; hide the pain)

[personal profile] recurve 2012-06-20 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
That's your job to worry. But it's our job to grow up anyway, no matter where we are.
gevurah: laughs he who laughs last (girl look at that body)

[personal profile] gevurah 2012-06-21 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ A bemused smile. ]

That sounds like something I'd say, too.
