When Dreams Fall mingling post

[[On the one hand, the White Chalice has landed at Fuka Castle, the site of the upcoming Graduation Ceremony for Garderobe Academy.

Basically Arika (and NPC Nina most likely) are off making final preparations!  It's supposed to be one hell of a show, but for now, so long as you're on your best behavior, you're treated just as the other royal and administrative guests. 

Mingle as you see fit!


But in other news, Mister Kasshu, rumor has it that Neo-France's fighter has been seen nearby.  Perhaps you should go visit him and win a match?  That is, if he's not busy!]]

Hey, we're being treated like VIPs here! Did they plan anything special for the ceremony?

[Lowe is sitting on his seat comfortably, with a soft drink. In a cup. With a straw. Totally a royal/administrative guest here, but too laidback to misbehave at least.]

[Shotaro's sitting by Lowe, watching for the sign of the events to start, though he can't help but feel uneasy.]

It's likely that we're VIPs due to the role the Chalice has played for hosting Garderobe Academy.

I didn't do much personally - Arika has no mecha for me to repair! But apparently, it makes no difference.

This is already pretty special by my standards. I'm amazed they'd relocate from somewhere like this to the Chalice.

[space-mcgyver.livejournal.com]

Well, this place can't move around like the Chalice now, can it?

[One Mashiro Blan de Windbloom can be found flitting around the castle and grounds, making preparations of her own for the ceremony, and visiting all the various dignitaries and important-types in attendance. Anyone who met her when she was aboard the Chalice before will note that her expression is a little different; where before she seemed not to want to be around people and mingle, she seems to really be in her element today as she roams. Anyone want to chat with the queen of Windbloom?]

[Click. The shutters closing today, thank god.]

Yo.

[Well, it is Garderobe's graduation... cameras are to be expected. Perhaps not the guy behind the camera, though.]

Hello... um, not to be rude, but who are you? You don't look like a representative from one of the other countries...

[mad-copycat.livejournal.com]

(Mashiro soon comes across a robotic lizard with sunglasses with a fanged smirk...Today is going to be a weird day isn't it?)

It seems people finally understanding the greatness of Tatsu and the lounge! Just wait until they see Arika beat her prey!

[pure-white-wind.livejournal.com]

[Mashiro turns to address the voice, then raises an eyebrow... and then finally looks down.] Huh, that's new. Love the sunglasses, though.

Tatsu and the lounge...? Oh, you mean the White Chalice and its pilots, right? [Her expression shifts to a grin.] I'm looking forward to it. Even if they are Pearls, she'd better not lose!

Mashiro!

[Arika snuck away from her training for a bit, to go find her friend]

[pure-white-wind.livejournal.com]

[Mashiro smiles when Arika calls her; she takes in the the Coral's appearance with a raised eyebrow.] Arika, good to see you. Working hard to get ready for the ceremony?

[ And here's the Gundam Fighter of Neo France, mingling with several of the nobles and royals. He approaches one blonde female in particular (http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Maria_Louise), and from what could only be his sleeve, produces a beautiful red rose, and offers it to her, taking her hand in his other, free hand. ]

For the most wonderful girl in the Earth Sphere.

[ George then kisses the back of her hand, and as quickly as he arrived, leaves her, her cheeks as red as the rose.

Care to intercept the dashing gentleman? ]

[king-of-hams.livejournal.com]

[This guy will, and rather rudely, at that. His arm comes from the side of your field of vision, aggressively blocking your path.]

George de Sand, Gundam Fighter for Neo-France, I presume?

[gundams-n-roses.livejournal.com]

[ Ah, yes, of course, how could anyone not recognize this guy? ]

That's right.

[ And there's another rose in his hand, bringing it up to his face, his eyes closing, a grin spreading across his features. ]

George de Sand, prince of Neo France, and Gundam Fighter for the 13th Gundam Fights for Neo France!

[The fashion show may be done, but Laura can still dress up for the occasion out of her normal wardrobe. She's drifting about the grounds, looking as though she has an objective but is taking the scenic route to it.]

And I thought finishing school was going to be a big deal for me...

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

[Dita's there, looking around and taking pictures of the place. It really is a nice place, being that it was situated around a desert.]

[emorangerpink]

[Aaaand even the scenic route still gets you where you're going in the end. Laura spots Dita from afar, and visibly composes herself before approaching.]

It's quite an occasion, isn't it?

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

Hi, Laura~!

(Yoshika didn't think she'd run into Laura while they were here but anytime to hang out with friends was good for her! She waved in the other girl's direction while heading her way.)

[emorangerpink]

Hi, Yoshika!

Rather a spectacle, isn't it? Are you enjoying yourself?

[minorbeat]

Quite the celebration they have here.

(Seiren leaning against a wall looking at everything going on. She thought this would be a good event to possibly make more friends but she still has a bit of fear in approaching someone with that idea in mind. So she is just hanging back for now but she isn't actively hiding so it isn't hard to spot her.)

[crystal-energy.livejournal.com]

[Arika was doing a lot of last-minute training, but she'd managed to sneak away for a little bit to go find people and hang out]

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

Hi, Arika~!

(Yoshika was busy looking around excitedly, being polite to all the royals and locals who met her. She hadn't expected to run into Arika until later, but this was just as good!)

[king-of-hams.livejournal.com]

[Older members of the Chalice may recognize the cloaked figure moving around the party, showing off a photograph. Domon's been away, fighting Gundam Fights and trying to track down his brother.]

[He probably wouldn't mind running into a few familiar faces.]

Before the mission

[srwuga_mods]

Regardless of how the dialog between Domon and George plays out, later that day, Maria Lousie is busy swooning over George, her beloved knight.

She'd just love if her dashing knight came to her rescue, but... she's not in any danger.

Oooooh, wait... there's a plan! Deciding to fake her own kidnapping, she scrawls the letters "JP" on the mirror in her room, and leaves a ransom note stating she'd be at some everyday warehouse somewhere in the city, before she slips out the window in disguise!

However, rather than heading there and waiting out her poorly-thought plan, she recalls they're holding the Otome Graduation Ceremony today! She'd surely have plenty of time to see that and get back to the warehouse she mentioned, so, without haste, she heads off to watch the action!
