A young man casually strolls into the room. Right around 5 foot 4, slim, athletic, not an ounce of fat on him, and wearing a stylishly formal and well-fitted tux that only emphasizes the fact, he looks around at the empty room and grins at the girl at his side.
"Looks like we're the first ones in."
With his neatly trimmed goatee, slim-fitting tux, long wavy hair, sparkling hazel eyes, and friendly smile - not to mention the lovely young lady at his side - he looks almost as if he had stepped straight out of a magazine's cover into the ballroom.
He pauses briefly and winks at his companion out of the corner of his eye.
"Looks like we're the first ones here." He pauses, chuckles warmly, and his eyes merrily twinkle as he observes the numerous Christmas decorations and music softly playing in the background.
With a charmingly lopsided grin, he turns his attention towards the young lady, with her almost elfin features, dark midlength hair, button nose, and large eyes, and offers his hand.
"Care for a dance?"

*struggles to hold back laughter*


Spidey

Sure...unless you're afraid I'll embarass you with my clumsiness, which I am quite likely to do. =P

Spidey! How rude! I'm quite appalled...

*Watches with amusement*

No, It's the way he wrote it, lol. J will feel with me on this one... wontcha dawg?


Spidey

Psh, just because I'm good at roleplaying...

The young man grins with a merry look in his eye. "Not at all." He takes his companion's hand and leads her out to the center of the dance floor before letting go, looking down at her and smiling.
Putting one arm gently around her waist, he takes her other hand.
"Now, you put your hand here..."

*walks in wearing long flowing black dress with red faux fur shaw....walks up to storm and jman and starts to chat while waiting patiently waiting for pietro...*

Well, since I was already here (without my escort noticing) I'll make myself noticed...

*Grabs two trays from the buffet line and begins to fill them with every choice of ball-related food product available, including the food he doesn't like to eat* "Yes, this should do very well." *looks at the two trays with deep thought and concentration* "OH! Thattle work!" *Begins to piece together what looks to be a food sculpture of Charlie Brown in the middle of the dance floor*

*Hands McBanes a glass of punch and waits impatiently for Harry* *watches Tye with worried expression*

*joins in the worried expression*

Thanks for the punch, storm!

*dances with John doing exactly as he says*

Don't use any grapes, Tye! They are too good to be sculpturized.

OT:I knew you'd get me...LOL... you busy tonight? I'm not doing nothing if you care if I give ya a ring...

Guess I'll just dj until my date gets here, thinks a young man, walking dejectedly from his corner of the room. What cd's do we have?, he thinks, going through a stack. Ah, a good one, he whispers under his breath as the disk tray comes out. He pops the cd in, and begins to nod to Do You Hear What I Hear? off the Happy Christmas album, performed by Copeland.


Spidey

Not busy in the slightest, dude. The ex might be calling me to sort things out, but we'll see how things go.

Slowly dancing with Ana, the slim young man smiles and speaks quietly. "And you said you were clumsy. Have you done this before?"
Briefly, he turns his head and catches the DJ's eye. Pitching his voice just enough to carry across the floor, he speaks in a polite tone accustomed to authority.
"Excuse me, sir. Do you have any Mannheim Steamroller?"

I search the cd's, not wanting to disappoint a happy young man with the wrong music. "Here it is", I say, and set it in the disk tray. Scant seconds later, Mannheim Steamroller's "Celebration" begins to play, and the spirit of Christmas begins to fill the room.


Spidey

*smiles a bit and says* Not at all. It must be my shoes.

*paces the room*

Looking over and winking at the DJ, John grins. "Thanks, man - good choice to set the mood."
Turning back to Ana, he raises his eyebrows and smiles warmly. "Those must be some special shoes, then." Turning and keeping step with the music, he's rather surprised at how well the young lady dancing with him is keeping time - she's a rather better dancer than she had led him to believe. Shaking his head slightly, his eyes twinkle as he looks at her with a slight grin just beginning to quirk one corner of his mouth. "You're quite modest, you know."

My phone rings, setting of the holiday favorite Jingle Bells. I quickly answer, trying to keep from ruining the mood. I quickly reply I had ordered 20 pizzas, not 10, and hang up, disgusted that my order would be misinterpreted. I begin to look through the cd rack, trying to pinpoint an exact cd to play after this one has ended.


Spidey

my date still isnt here...
and since this is an annual thing im gonna pin it.

I walk into the ballroom in the gold dress I had picked out. I see a young man dancing with a girl in the middle of the dance floor. I smile at them. I see my date putting down his cell phone, looking frustrated.

I then look to the left of the room seeing a girl pacing around. I walk over to her.

Goes over to Psalm and welcomes her with some punch.

Oh, thankyou! *Grabs the punch, and takes a sip.*

Stands by door, ready to hand out more punch.

Finding the cd, I look up to see my date. I quickly put it in, and turn in to Relient K's Silent Night. I hurry over to Psalm. "You look," I say, blushing slightly trying to find the right word,"Radiant."


Spidey

(John, your eye is twinkling quite a bit, there. Might want to get that looked at! )

I skip into the ballroom, just because I wanted to do something different than walk like everyone else was. A friend of mine had come over before I had left my house and had done my hair into an odd fashion that made me have to keep my head perfectly strait.

People were starting to trickle in, so I stood over by the wall, opened my purse, and took out the book I always carried with me. Tonight it was Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. I needed to read it because my friend was writing a story from the Creature's point of view, and I needed to have the context to understand her story.

But that's beside the point.
