Video, 23 Jelly - Adult Ballroom Social, IC Announcement and Planning

[She sighs.]

Right. So we all know how yesterday was a thing that happened. Apologies to anyone who had to deal with teenage me, by the way.

Now, I can't speak for everyone, but I sure as heck think it'd help if we could all come together and organize something to help us get past it. I'm talking about a formal, adult event, where we can all get together and dress up as smart as the train will let us.

So I'm announcing an Adult Ballroom Social, set for 1900 hours on the 29th of this month.

I originally just had couples in mind - I know quite a few of us who are paired up - but I don't think we should be leaving anybody out. I'm thinking of setting up blind dates for anybody who wants a partner, and having drinks and snacks set out for anybody who doesn't feel like bringing one.

Anyone who wants to pitch in, or who has any tweaks or improvements they want to make, let me know.

Er. I'm not a musician. I was just... asking out of curiosity.

[nutkrusher]

Well, if you've got anything in mind anyway, let me know.

[stopstaring]

Uhm. Well—

[Can she really be weighing in on this?]

—I travelled with a performing troupe where I came from and there was all kinds of music, but I think your... g-gathering is a little more proper, right? I think the kingdom back home probably would have used f-fancy music?

[...Whatever 'fancy music' means.]

[nutkrusher]

I'm not gonna be that particular. Anything that wouldn't be out of place at a wedding reception works.

[Beat.]

The Cha Cha Slide is right the fuck out, though.

[stopstaring]

I—

[...The what?]

I don't know what that is, b-but I think I understand what you mean! I might know s-someone who can help.

[nutkrusher]

Wouldn't recommend getting curious about it either.

But again, if they're willing, I'll take any help.

[stopstaring]

I'll be sure to ask! It sounds like it'll be f-fun.
