Leading from every dorm, every classroom, every building on the Amityville campus, there is a darkly glittering trail, seemingly crafted from moonlight and the night sky. The ground muffles your footsteps where it lies, and as you follow the path, you realize it is leading you toward the gym. Toward the prom.
The gymnasium itself has been transformed into a sprawling castle crawling with vines and dingy parapets. Those with the ability to see through illusions will not be fooled, but it's a nice effect for those who cannot.
Around the back of the building is a wide beanstalk that stretches into the sky, past the clouds. You cannot see its end or where it leads. Between the stalk and the gym are several activities and games, but you can't quite tell what they are until you venture closer.
The music playing inside is softer out here, and gnomes in fanciful, flowing outfits seem eager to direct you inside.

The interior of the gym is transformed, much as it has been in past years. Its main feature is the sprawling dance floor, sparkling from within like the paths that led you here. Besides its preternatural glow, it is outwardly lit by twirling spotlights, floating candles, and a golden chandelier. Directly opposite the front door is the DJ booth, and above that hangs a large dark rose that sheds a fluttering petal to mark every quarter of an hour.
Crystal balls, glass slippers, and shiny plastic jewels act as centerpieces for the food and souvenir tables, and every surface with the ability to support a bit of deep purple drapery is currently holding one.
The oddest feature of the room is the magic mirror to the left of the DJ. Were three of Amityville's taller students standing on each other's shoulders, the mirror would still tower over them by several feet. It glows softly, and if the room were to somehow go silent, an audible hum could be heard issuing from it as well. It looks solid enough, so the fact that you can pass right through it is perhaps the greatest mystery of all.
Please do not feel beholden to these dates! If you are unable to play for several days, there is no need to pretend your character was sitting there staring off into space for hours on end. You can pick up right where you left off! This is just so you can get a rough idea of what's going on at certain times if you like sorting out your timelines.

Visiting Amityville for one night only is DJ Scarescale, Dream City's most celebrated musical aficionado. She is a diminutive purple-skinned dragon with orange wings, orange horns, and a long, blunt-spiked tail, and she has a smile ready to offer anyone who approaches.
Scarescale is happy to play songs from the playlist she put together back home, but she is also open to requests from anyone who needs to hear a certain song so badly they can feel it in their FEAR core.
(All times are in PDT. They are also OOC since prom takes place on one night.)

Along the wall farthest from the door is a tall, shimmering magic mirror. Passing through it takes you outside to the game area. The games are also accessible by walking out of the building and going around the back, but where's the fun in that?

Resting in an impenetrable glass case near the DJ booth are seven crowns, each supported by a velvet pillow. If you've been to a prom before or are at all familiar with how they operate, you can probably guess who they are for. If not, at least they make an interesting conversation piece.

Voting for prom court closes on July 5th at 11:59pm PDT! Make sure you submit your votes by PMing TiH Student Council before then.
All characters are up for all spots, but you might want to stick to males for king/prince and females for queen/princess so that there is the chance for a clear majority.
