SPRING GALA!

Log Deputy: nor PM, church PM
Log Deputy Schedule: We're both on around 9PM-9AM EST usually if you need us right away.
Participating Characters: Anyone who wants to join!

Plot Description: Spring Gala at the Fabre's!

Every year, Judge Fabre throws a birthday party for Asch and Luke's mother Suzanne. Because she's a bit sickly, the party is thrown outside when the air is the freshest in the spring. Any and all nobles and those of high standing in the community are invited, but there are... ways for the common rabble to get in and have a good time as well. Namely, the part of the manor ground's fencing that was torn down during the earthquakes. That, or maybe the guards are having a good time too and wandered away for some ...action. Either way, everyone's eligible! There will be food and drinks (children, mind the wine,) cake, dancing and more! Don't forget the fireworks at midnight, it might be something romantic for you and your sweetie. Wear something nice and mingle!

Warnings/Notes: Nothing but fancy outfits and maybe a little alcohol around here.


Welcome to the Fabre's, please enjoy your stay.

[ As good as he is, Hans isn't quite so used to this carefree sort of dancing. He keeps up no problem, but it's almost frustrating. He's really not used to following-- ]

My, you're quite the dancer, aren't you?

[ Flattery, yes. Good plan. ]
niepokonany: (Is ever gonna bring me down)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-06-06 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
[It IS a good plan. Feliks looks surprised for a moment, but it's followed by a small burst of sparkling and a genuine little smile.]

I'm not bad!

[He whirls them around a bit, narrowly missing a waiter with a tray of wine-filled glasses.]

Too bad you're like, too tall for me to spin right. What's up with that?

[ Oh, that'll work. Geez, Hans was sure he'd hit that guy-- ]

Uh, well, genetics, I suppose-- I'm more trained in classical styles. I must say, I'm having trouble keeping up with you.

[ He should've worn comfier shoes. ]
niepokonany: (Tell them how I'm defying gravity)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-06-07 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Come on, they missed him by at least 3 whole centimeters! And no excuses, have you seen the shoes he's wearing?]

It's so not that hard, you just have to chill out and go with it! Nobles, Savior.

[As if he isn't the heir to a noble house, too, but at least he doesn't act like it!]
ingoodhans: (I can't deny)

[personal profile] ingoodhans 2014-06-07 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm plenty chill!

[ He says, all done up in his finest and twirling about, just barely able to keep up. Get on Feliks' level, Hans. ]

Where did you learn to dance like this?

niepokonany: (Drunks are so cute.)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-06-07 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm so sure. Like, you look way chill!

[Which is, at the moment, Val for "I'm a little surprised you have not yet tried to snap my neck." He seems a little pleased about this, because hey, people are fun to poke, uptight people doubly so. He raises the hand with Hans's in it and spins underneath it--unfortunately not as fun as being twirled by someone, but it's something! He'd probably switch roles, but he kind of doesn't feel like letting Hans lead.]

Immy and Pamela, mostly? [And he's not going to get upset about Imogen--he's sure that wherever she is these days (she's fine, he's sure!)--she'd want him dancing rather than worrying. He gives Hans a mischievous little smile.]

Them and like, sneaking to the entertainment district.

[personal profile] ingoodhans 2014-06-08 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Twirling yourself has to be cheating. At the very least, Hans is sure this guy's... interesting. ]

I see... So you weren't professionally trained, then?

[ Hans, you're so out of your league. ]
niepokonany: (Get in loser)

Not sure if "Interesting" means "weird," "to be watched carefully and/or manipulated," or

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-06-08 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[[OOC: ...or "gayer than a treeful of monkeys on nitrous oxide."]]

[He shrugs, looking a little bored with the question.]


In commoners' dances? Pretty sure that's missing the whole point, dude.

[He stops them, and assumes a much more proper stance, just to prove he can.]

It's not like my grandparents didn't get someone to teach me the ones they wanted me to know, though?
ingoodhans: (pic#7532624)

definitely all of the above.

[personal profile] ingoodhans 2014-06-09 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
I'd suppose not.

[ This, Hans can do. He's just... old fashioned. And heartless. ]

Maybe you can teach me the other kinds? I only ever learned the proper stuff.
niepokonany: (I'm a mouse. Duh!)

Fair.

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-06-09 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
I would, but like. I don't actually feel like it?

[Excuses are for people who have a fuck to give! Also, he just really doesn't want any more Hans in his life than necessary. So, you know.]
ingoodhans: (pic#7532635)

hans don't break anything

[personal profile] ingoodhans 2014-06-09 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ Hans chuckles. Oh, he doesn't like you, Feliks. Officially. ]

Well, I can't argue with that!
niepokonany: (Quaint!)

This is the beginning of something beautiful.

[RED FLAG RED FLAG, DISINGENUOUS BASTARD ALERT!]

[No, honestly--Feliks has deliberately pissed off enough people in his short years that Hans's calm, pleasant reaction feels wrong. Most people would at least look mad or shocked for a split second, even the nobles--he covers it too well. "He didn't get mad when I was bitchy" probably isn't going to convince anyone besides himself, but Feliks has definitely just come to a conclusion.]

[So what's he going to do for now?]

[Shake him up. Throw him off his guard, keep him guessing, or try to. With a laugh of his own, he shifts position again, moving Hans's hand to his waist and his own to the taller man's shoulder.]


But I guess you can take a turn leading, if I'm wearing you out too much!
ingoodhans: (we're so getting married)

dammit Hans, quit being TOO nice!!

[personal profile] ingoodhans 2014-06-09 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Why, that's very kind of you.

[ Hans would step on his feet were he a lesser man, but instead he keeps that smile of his pasted on. Really, it takes a special brand of nuisance to piss him off.

He leans them into a quick step, waltzing is his specialty, but a paso doble is a bit flashier, so obviously he means to show off.
]

You shouldn't worry about me, though. I don't tire easily.
niepokonany: (On the back of a hurricane)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-06-10 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Now, Hans. Are you saying he's not special?]

[He'd make fun of Hans a little more, but he's kind of pleased by his choice--quick, flashy, lots of opportunity to get spun around. He laughs a bit as they glide around the dance floor, his skirts whirling around more freely now that he's not in the lead. So maybe he had an ulterior motive, and maybe that motive was "I want to spin around and go whoosh more"--what, is that a crime now?]


Oh, look at that, you do know some fun ones!

[Okay, just a LITTLE more teasing. He was just so baffled by the commoner stuff!]
