Volunteers Needed

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Or failing volunteers, I'll start drafting.

As you all know (because you read the memos that we put in your mailboxes, yes?) we will be having an actual Prom for Xavier's on May 26th.

I've been doing all the heavy lifting so far. We have a place booked, we have rentals ordered. But now I require assistance from you, the students and otherwise.

First, you must suggest prom themes so that I may get decorations.

Second, you must volunteer yourselves so that I may have appropriate amounts of manual labor in order to do all the decorating.




I'm aware this is a strange time to be doing this but we all need a little distraction right now.

What is "damage," anyway, when you get right down to it? I mean, this is a time of uncertainty and turmoil. Lines blur. Words lose meaning. One man's trash is another man's art.

And I'm about to lose my glue-gun privileges, aren't I?

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

You're about to lose your Scotch Tape privileges at this point.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Okay, but I'm giving you official notice that you're oppressing the true spirit of creative expression, here. And that's the kind of bad karma that comes back to haunt you.

*sigh* Great artists are never appreciated in their own time.

I'll let you have your own roll of streamers.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

And balloons?

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

No balloons. God only knows what you'd put in them.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Just air!

Well, you know, basically air.

Man, I never got to prank a prom back home. You're mean.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Go prank Salem High's prom.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

But this one's all convenient.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

YOu know what else is convenient? I know where you live and I know where you sleep.

You really want to upset me?

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Wait, like a full-on prom? Tuxedos, fancy dinner beforehand, all that?

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Full on, honest to god, take posed photos next to the fireplace while wearing a flower on your lapel, prom.

Though we're not mean like my high school was. You can take anyone you like.

[x-snowflake.livejournal.com]

Wait, I looked it up in the dictionary and it said it was "programmable read-only memory". Do you mean to say that this is some kind of horrific dance thing?

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Yep. I'm going to let Kitty be the one to explain it all to you though. I like my things undestroyed.

[x-snowflake.livejournal.com]

So be it, although I don't know how you hit functional adulthood without understanding the difficulties inherent in destroying a concept, even for those of us with elevated capabilities. Nonetheless, cheers.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know you won't ruin my concept of prom. It was my actual physical possessions I was worried about when I got to the point with dress wearing and makeup putting on and dancing. I fear your wrath. Doesn't that make you feel warm and fuzzy inside?

[x-snowflake.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, although I am sad that I don't live up to the hype. Kitty explained very clearly to me how people will want to kill me if I destroy their material possessions. Kind of like how they usually do, but with more anger and possible hitting.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Take someone? Riiiiiight.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Oh, come on, Forge! You can't go stag! That's no fun at all!

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

This I am aware of. I may have to give the concept some more thought and research before positing a solution, though...

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

I'd start with a list of girls in the mansion. Then cross off the ones with built in dates.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Do we have to wear the tux, because I so totally omg don't HAVE ONE and I don't care what any of you say I am not wearing SHOES.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Yes, you have to wear a tux. You have a month to find one.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

...Does that mean I can go without shoes?

I guess I can get a tux. HEY! Oohooh.. can I drive there myself? I mean if Forge and Jay and all go with me because drivers licence! I'll totally get a tux if I get to drive!

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

I'm requiring formal wear. If you make your bare feet formal then you're welcome to not wear shoes.
