trusthell | Paper Faces on Parade

[ Okay, so, assuming everyone got a crossword and an invite on Tuesday, one would assume that pretty much everyone knows that Misa's planning something. A sign on the door of the music room will indicate as much, a nice big "KEEP OUT PLEASE ♥" to make sure everything's set up just right before the festivities start. The tables are set up just right for snacks and all, the stage is set, the room is even decorated with hand-made streamers and lots of bright ribbons from the art room! When Misa goes hard, she goes hard, apparently. The floor isn't exactly a dance floor, but it should be nice enough that people can dance if they want to, and though she had a really hard time pushing everything around to make the perfect amount of space, it looks like it's about as good as it's going to get.

The guests'll be happy to know there aren't any penalty snacks this time around; nothing set out on the table looks gross or horribly out of place like at Truth or Dare. Everything looks pretty cute, actually; between the desserts and the actual cocktails set out, she and Aqua kind of outdid themselves in terms of meal planning. As for the host herself, she'll obviously be running around too, making sure everything's going okay; one would think that between prepping the food and the party itself, she wouldn't have much time to get herself all dolled up, but a model always has to look her best! And Misa certainly isn't giving anything less than 110 percent, between her short black dress and her ma-- jesus Misa save some glitter for everyone else

In any case, the party is definitely intended to be a late-night affair! And all are welcome, so feel free to come in and dance the night away! Misa even has a bunch of masks in different colors made for people who didn't have time to make one themselves, so don't be shy to grab one and have fun! ]

Well, you should all know by now that I don't do anything halfway!

[He looks amazing and he knows it, okay. At least in his own opinion, and that's what matters.]

And yet you never cease to amaze.

[Cherryblod, stop feeding Mettaton's ego, never.]

As stunning as you are tonight, I'm sure you're very busy fending off your admirers, but could you make time for one dance?

Sweetheart, I'll always have time for you.

[Like it ain't even a concern.]

Any preferences?

I can dance at least five ballroom dances well enough to be considered 'pretty good'. Take your pick, I probably know it.

You know, if we're going for something formal, you may actually have to teach me a bit - I haven't had much of a reason to learn those.

[He doesn't seem bothered by that, though; he's more curious than anything.]

I'd be delighted to.

[A thing Mettaton does not know how to do is rare enough. Something he wants to learn from him is nearly enough to set the sparkles off again.]

The waltz will serve you well in any formal occasion. How about that?

That sounds wonderful, darling! I'd like that.

[...At least as a good place to start. Because you are going to teach him everything.]

[He is so okay with that, you have no idea.]

Alright then. With your height, you'll probably be leading more often than you follow, so I'll teach you that part.

[...do you want me to explain waltzing step by step, because I can, or do we want to gloss over some of it like chess.]

Whatever you'd like - I don't really mind either way.

[do not worry, friend, we can gloss like the wind]

[Glossing is wonderful.

The first important question: after Cherryblod gets them onto the dance floor, gets them in the right position, and starts explaining the steps, about how many times does he end up with a metal foot crushing his toes?]

[...He is an idol who just spent way too many hours on DDR ensuring that his reflexes have not started to suck. He is the most graceful goddamn gazelle, Cherryblod, do not worry.]

[Thank god, because getting your toes crushed isn't fun even when it's by people who aren't made of metal.]

You're a natural, dear.

[...Don't worry, he's entirely aware...]

You say it like you're surprised.

[...his fucking ego, though.]

Not at all. Just thought I'd pile one more piece of praise on you.

[He never ever gets tired of that.]

...You're better than all of my entourage combined.

[most people indulge him! just not usually quite this much, lord.]

[He knows.]

You should take me on tours just in case you ever run low on compliments.

Well, Sigrun has been talking about how she wants me to continue doing all of that once I leave with her. So maybe it'll be there, who knows.

[The date went well. c: ]

[:>>>>>]

So you had a good time on your date, I take it?

Edited 2016-04-01 03:54 (UTC)

I did! Misa-darling really went all out, it was wonderful.

It went well, though. Not bad for the first time on something formal like that.

Not bad at all. If you weren't stuck in here, I'm sure you could make things much fancier, but the important part is that you enjoyed being with each other.

Of course we did! I think she was a little awkward at the start, but we discussed our souls at one point.

[...]

Hers is orange too, you know.

If I have something essential in common with Sigrun, then I'm flattered.

[It's not really orange for the same reason, but they've got their orangeness to them all the same.]

A few of you do! Sometimes I'll check on people here and there - I'm not usually around people with any sort of variety like that.

Right, because monsters' souls are colorless. I'm sure yours is still lovely.

[He hasn't gotten to see it directly (although he's pretty sure it's in that tank with the heart in it), but it's Mettaton's so obviously it's gorgeous.]

...I've let Sigrun see it.

[He isn't entirely sure why he says it; it's just...something that he feels like he wants to tell someone?

Feelings are hard.]

She likes it, when we do that.
