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! ]

Not to worry. I'll teach you how.

[There will be no twerking here tonight.]

[Look he's gonna have a few cocktails later nothing is impossible]

Good luck man.

[Do not twerk in front of your father, oh my god?]

Now now. I'm sure you can manage. Do you want to lead or follow? We're the same height so either would work.

Uh... which would be easier to learn?

Probably following. Here, put your hands like this...

[if I am glossing over teaching Mettaton then I am glossing over teaching Yosuke because I can

we can probably assume he steps on Cherryblod's feet more often]

[So much more often. But at least he has a decent sense of rhythm- but this is way more structured then he's used to.]

[Also he's not made of metal, so Cherryblod's less worried about him crushing his toes accidentally.]

You're doing fine.

S-sorry for your feet...

[Awww so embarrassed]

I've had much worse than some sore toes. It's a sacrifice I'll make in the name of teaching you to waltz.

Heh, like I'll have a lot of chances to waltz in my life.

You might impress somebody special with it someday.

[That's a good enough reason!]

... ya think?

[That certainly seems to perk him up]

Of course. Not just anyone knows how to waltz, but with the right setting you can set up something romantic they won't soon forget.

[Oh Cherry, you know your frogson too well, cuz he looks all dreamy at the idea]

That could work...

[What kind of dad doesn't know how to get his son invested in something he's only sort of interested in doing?]

It's worth the investment of learning now so you can dazzle your date later.

Well alright then, let's do this!

I'll make you a waltzing master before the night is out.

[Or at least pretty decent at it.]

[And he gets really into it... and of course fumbles even more. But hey, he's having fun!]

[As long as he's having fun, Cherryblod's having fun teaching him. And definitely not calling attention to the dress, while he's still having a good time that Cherryblod could accidentally ruin.]

We should do this more often.
