Bon Bon Ball

With chapter five now ended and chapter six promising to reveal more of the story I thought it might be time to get a few things sorted. Since the Bon Bon Ball will be coming up soon (if not in this chapter then probably the next is my guess) it might be a good idea to get a finalized list of who is going with whom, what kind of formal wear they will be wearing, etc. Now once again, and I'm sure Ashton will point out the exact locations, I've forgotten where this discussion came up before but since it's been a while since it was last talked about we might as well revitalize it.

First things first though would be the rules and requirements. I shall leave these in the hands of someone more capable of recalling them than I, preferably someone who's mind has not been dulled by copious amounts of NyQuil. :|

It was the thread "Page 31, issue 2" on page six of the forum, where this was first discussed. And as always, I am happy to help, Xebulon. If memory serves, I asked to dance with Vanessa, Drake asked to dance with Violet, UltimaWolf0 asked to dance with Sakura Harukaze, and I know there were others who asked to dance with specifc women but, for the life of me, I cannot remember who.

I did some digging and came up with a few more couples. Johnny asked to dance with Daisy Nugget, Labrn opted for Dr. Fuchs, Freeza for either Stella Sunflower or Dr. Fuchs and Nightwolf favored Daphne. I'll post again if I come up with any more names.

The last pair I came across was Martin opting for Loucille. And bear in mind these were posted a very long time ago, so if anyone has someone they would rather dance with or any of the other Royal Members have someone in mind, by all means, speak up.

Bravo Xebulon!This is an useful topic, was thinking to open the one like it because the dance will be in the middle of issue #6, so I needed to seek the old topic for remeber the the couples of guests and parthners. The requests of the royal members will follow in the chronological order of the posts.

Well, as I said, Ms. Santato, the thread where it was discussed before is Page 31, issue 2 on page six of the forum. And if it helps, I listed the dance partner requests in the order they were posted, so you don't have to go looking for them. Of course, better safe than sorry, as they say.

Thank you too Ashton I did not forget our position, you play the violin and I dance near you :)

Ok, if memory serves it's actually supposed to be a Halloween Ball, so I guess that should read "costumes" instead.

Of the Royal Members then, who has yet to make a request? Tursi, Cheesy, Lorn Nelson, Foxonian, Bestile1, Aurioch, MrWolf12, Gantros, Marauder, Littlefox, ... I know there are others but I can't think clearly during head-splodey time. Ashton, would you be so kind as to take over for now? Also, would it be possible to get a list of which cast members (William/Wilson, Mary, Betty, etc.) will be unavailable due to story reasons Ms. Santato? I ask because it appears that no one has expressed an interest in the lovely Champagne sisters, for example. If they are unavailable (due to story reasons) it might be better for the Royal Members not too get their hopes too high for a three-way.... dance! A three way dance!

:shock:

Good grief people, is that all you think about?! Soft, warm, sticky, cream-filled... pastries! Pastries, people! Those adjectives apply to more than one scenario and I think I should go lie down now.

A: I don't recall anything about this being a Halloween Ball, but I'm somewhat distracted at the moment so if I'm wrong, I would'nt be at all surprised.

B: If you come back again while you're still head-splodey, I will personally drag you to Dr. Fuchs' office for treatment.

C: Of the Royal Mebers with Avatars, these are the ones who have not made a dance request (at least, to my knowledge): Kjolnir, Dr. Fuchs, Bittenhard, Littlefox, Meech, Ksathra-blackfox, GothBoiBlinkie, Marauder, Foxonian, Tursi, Genpyris, MrWolf12, Mystic, Gantros, Bestile1, Aurioch, Lord Nelson, and Chessy. (who incidentally has her name spelled incorrectly on the list of Royal Member Avatars)

And mmyes, she noticed the little typo a while ago but it's not too much of an issue so she doesn't mind. :3

I would be positively delighted if I could convince Miss Littlefox to accompany me on this occasion

(note to self think of back up plan in case she says no)

Hey! Think positive Bestile! 8)

Crimson · Joined: 18 Aug 2007 Posts: 1395

Yeah why would she say no

Bestile1 · Joined: 21 Aug 2007 Posts: 836

well its more of a... we haven't heard anything from her for quite a while now and she may not show up in time to say yes.

Crimson · Joined: 18 Aug 2007 Posts: 1395

Im sure she will show in time to say yes :D

Corran · Joined: 12 Jul 2007 Posts: 671

Good point. But still!

Bestile1 · Joined: 21 Aug 2007 Posts: 836

well that and she is part of the original bon bon crew and they tend to stick with each other for these type of things. and it would be bad form to not give the lady an easy way out if she would rather go with someone else.

If I remember correctly (and it has been a while since I posted this), I believe I requested to attend the ball with Daisy. I think I also mentioned that I would be wearing the same outfit I always do, due to the fact that it's the nicest clothes I've got, even if Daisy were to wear something fancier.

Also, remember that I (both on real-life and in fursona-form) am not really a confident dancer. Character-wise, a gunslinger who spent most of his wild youth on the run from marshalls and rangers did not have much time to learn the niceties of ballroom dancing. If Daisy ever does manage to drag Mr. Six-Killer away from the bar or buffet table, he'd definitely be one flustered looking fellow on the dance floor...

And now, a dramatic re-enactment of the last time Daisy tried to dance with Johnny
Quote: Daisy: Johnny, could you please stop looking at your feet?
Johnny: *grumbles*

*two seconds later*

Daisy: OW! Johnny! That was my toe!
Johnny: ...sorry...

*twenty seconds later*

Daisy: What's that noise?.... Wait, are you still wearing your spurs?! You're not suppose to wear those during a waltz!
Johnny: Really? Why's that?

*ten seconds later, Johnny's spurs get caught in another dancer's skirt, hijinx ensue*

Surly dance-partner: Why you no-good snake! I'll teach you for ruining my girl's dress!

*twenty-minute ballroom brawl*

Yes, Johnny, you did ask to be paired with Daisy. (see one of my previous posts listing previously requested dance partners for evidence)

I'm afraid Brandon will not be attending the ball. The reasons why will be in the next fiction I am writing, though, if Ms.Venessa is willing, he will be suppling the floral decor for the hall.

Hey, Xebulon, thanks for remembering me!

Back again! Finally got signed back up to the main site, too, so looking forward to catching up there, too (I guess after I get the royal status back ;) ).

Since I've been away, not sure I still get a cameo, eh? ;)

You've already had yours, Tursi, remember? Your romp with Margarete Hazelnut in issue #5. Or are you speaking of an appearance at the ball?

I point to case of the head-splodies and offer my apologies.

Meh, she's got better things to do, like get ready for the ball. And besides, it'll go away on it's own.

And welcome back Tursi. What are the going rates of your vessel if, perchance, I need to make a hasty exodus in order to circumvent an insistent violinist?

Yes, I meant the ball - although I must admit that I haven't yet worked out what that is about. :)

And I would never forget Margarete... purrrrr. ;)

Well, Xeb, I'm sure we could arrange a friendly enough rate. You don't get seasick, I hope?

While I would like to go to the ball,I'm afraid there is no one left to dance with. :-( Guess I'll just spend my time playing the organ that hopefully will make it into the ballroom scene.

Surely you jest, good sir! There are still plently of lovely ladies to ask to the ball!
