1st Floor Lobby | Tuesday

[bookbeltof_love]

Nina, knowing that this was her chance to sell tickets had, like, maybe gone a bit over the top? But, like, it was more fun that way, right? Right?

Besides, it kept her from getting bored and no one wanted that.

So, Nina's command of the lobby had the place looking like it was a scene out of a horror movie today. Black wooden walls, each slat showing signs of wear and tear, a shiny black floor that looked almost… viscous, and ragged curtains blowing over dark windows (which, if you looked out them would show various scenes of pure desolation) set the scene. Did the lobby usually have windows? Well, it did today and that was all that mattered! The ceiling was now a hundred thousand fractured mirrors and there were cobwebs strewn artfully about.

Things skittered by now and then, too fast to be seen except out of the corner of your eyes. With every footfall, the floor groaned, like something lived underneath it.

In the center of the lobby was the desk, which Nina sat demurely behind, a vision in deep purple and a jaunty witch's hat propped up on her curls. The desk itself was covered in a black tablecloth and more cobwebs. If you looked closely at them, they shivered and shifted, as if alive. A sign, in blood red letters, stated:

HOMECOMING 2020

Get your tickets here!

And, sure, you could try and tell her that Homecoming wasn't on Halloween but Nina wasn't listening on that matter. She was having way, way too much fun!

"Well this is certainly a theme," Sabine said, taking in the decor.

Re: Talk to Nina

[bookbeltof_love]

"Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabiiiiiiiiiiiiiiineeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

What? It was tradition!

Nina grinned at her. "I'm, like, doing the decorations for the dance too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Re: Talk to Nina

[seriesofbaddecisions]

When that tradition didn't happen, Sabine assumed something was wrong!

"I like the creativity." It was less colorful than she tended to like, but it really was cool. "What's the theme?"

Re: Talk to Nina

[bookbeltof_love]

"Gothic horror-romance crossed with 70s disco!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Okay, the romance was mostly her.

...

... Okay, the whole theme was her. This was all her fault.

Re: Talk to Nina

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"Wow," Sabine said with a laugh. "We definitely haven't done that one before."

Re: Talk to Nina

[bookbeltof_love]

"Well, you know, we wanted to be original," Nina said earnestly. "And, like, there wasn't enough time for me to plot a party on the moon!!!!!!!!!!!"

Mostly because of getting to the moon.

Re: Talk to Nina

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"There's morning on the moon, though," Sabine pointed out.

Re: Talk to Nina

[bookbeltof_love]

Nina looked unperturbed.

"I'd have that covered too," she assured her. "I've, like, been plotting a moon party for ages!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Somewhere close to a year at this point?

Re: Talk to Nina

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"I can't wait to go to this," Sabine said after a moment.

Re: Talk to Nina

[bookbeltof_love]

"It'll definitely happen," Nina promised. "Though the underwater party that Astrid suggested I do might happen first????????????"

Okay, Nina had mentioned it and Astrid had said she liked the idea.

Either way, Nina had plans for this year's parties.

Re: Talk to Nina

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"That one I will skip," Sabine said. "I'm here for space, though."

Re: Talk to Nina

[bookbeltof_love]

"You don't want to go underwater????????" Nina asked curiously. "Also-------are you buying tickets today??????????"

Re: Talk to Nina

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"I had a bad experience with water," she said vaguely. "As for tickets I should actually probably talk to Lana about that..."

Re: Talk to Nina

[bookbeltof_love]

"Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I, like, heard you two were together, and ohmygosh adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Just because Nina was kind of salty she didn't have a date didn't mean she wasn't going to gush over other peoples' romances!

Re: Talk to Nina

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"Thanks," Sabine said, amused. "So it helps if I actually ask her."

Re: Talk to Nina

[bookbeltof_love]

"Ooooooooooooor," Nina said, "you could surprise her??????????"

Nina wouldn't mind a romantic surprise, so... clearly this was the thing to suggest.

Re: Talk to Nina

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"Like how?" She figured Lana would know it was coming up anyway, but she was curious.

Re: Talk to Nina

[bookbeltof_love]

"The point's not surprising her with the dance," Nina allowed, since she kind of expected anyone who went to the school to know that was coming. "Rather, you surprise her with, like, a drink she likes or take her out to dinner and ask her to the dance with you????????? Doesn't have to be high key or super fancy, but like it's nice for invitations to have some pizzazz to them, you know?????????"

Re: Talk to Nina

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"Hmm. That's not a bad thought," Sabine considered.

Re: Talk to Nina

[bookbeltof_love]

Nina beamed and maybe sort of nudged a couple of tickets in Sabine's direction.

"I'd suggest, like, flowers and all that but I'm not sure how romantic you two would be???????"

Her guess was leaning towards 'not very' but she could be wrong!
