❤ VALENTINE'S DANCE PLAYLIST ❤
What? Did you think we were going to have a dance without music? What kind of back-water no-class heathens do you think we are? I've compiled a playlist of fitting dance music from both the RWBY soundtracks as well as everyone's themes! Thanks for helping me out, guys! Don't be bummed if you don't see your character's theme on the playlist. I tried to make sure they were dance-inspiring songs for the sake of the theme. Anyway, take a listen to this while you post, if you're looking for some new tunes, or are simply in-general bored. It's what I'll be listening to for a while, so you guys should at least check it out^w^ Don't forget to shuffle!
NOTE: It's currently not finished, but there's quite a bit on there. Wanted to get the event up before I headed to work today :3
Y'all remember that shipping thread we had prior to the dance? Well, that wasn't for nothing! All the ship votes have been tallied up and processed! The winners of the Valentine's Dance court are- Well, we have a tie! Congratulations to the following pairs!
Carmine Hervor x Opal Lilla
Lyon Garnet x Velvet Scarlatina
Thank you everyone for posting your favorite ships, and congratulations to the winners! They'll be crowned during the dance as well as receive a free photo op. during! Completed portraits will be sent directly to their scrolls approximately a week after the event. More...officially, the winning couples will be receiving art of them in their formal attire by Space Cow Illustrations! Yay~ art! The final products will be featured in this post, so keep an eye out for them! Thanks to everyone who posted their favorite ships in the thread, and we look forward to more funsies with you during the dance!

❤ CHOCOLATE EXCHANGE ❤
Let's be honest. Most of us here like/watch anime. I mean... this is a RWBY Guild after all [we can have the obvious discussion regarding that statement later]. Anyway, so let's do some weeaboo stuff! No prizes involved here, folks! Just some good ol' fashion fun! Have a ship for your character? Does your character have a crush with whom they may have not attended the dance? Would your character like to acknowledge the fact that someone took them to the dance? Give 'em some chocolate! Whether it be store-bought or homemade, it's the thought that counts! Surprise your significant other, date, or even your friends by having your character dole out the sweets!

spaceAbout five minutes before the doors would open, Yang stood at the front of the auditorium, looking at all the work she and the other volunteers had done for this dance. One in particular came all the way from Atlas, but still lent a hand in it all. He was Bordeaux; she'd heard his family name somewhere during her travels, but she couldn't place it. The fierce blonde had her hands on her hips as she thought for a few moments. This really brought her back, putting on this dance. It reminded the dance she helped with as a first year. That seemed like such a long time ago, now, it was almost weird to think about. She smiled to herself, shaking her head some and clearing her thoughts, "I think its about time to get this started, huh?" She called out to Blitz and any other volunteers, smoothing out her black and orange dress before turning to unlock the doors. A few students had arrived early and filed in, greeting Yang as she welcomed them. She was excited to if one student in particular had a date, certainly not so she could embarrass him. Yang laughed to herself and turned to walk back into the room, leaving the two main doors propped open.
space"This is going to be fun~" She mused to herself. During this dance, she wouldn't be standing at the podium. Oh no, she was a chaperone, as if that didn't make her feel old as hell. She walked alongside the dance floor as the music finally started up. It was still too early for any dancing, though, as the students that had arrived mostly congregated by the food and punch tables. Well, she couldn't exactly blame them. They made no mistake putting Yang in charge; she knew how to throw a good party. There was a wide array of finger foods, from sandwiches to fruits to other various hors d'oeuvres. Of course, there was no drinking at this party, so they were limited to punch in that arena, but there were fancy fountains dispensing all the drinks. So there was that at least. The blonde woman waved to the DJ they hired and smiled, turning back to face the auditorium from the other side of the room. Her gaze temporarily rose to check the netting attached to the ceiling, holding four dozed balloons for when the King and Queen of the dance were announced. Well, King and Queens. Yang already knew who won, of course, and it turned out to be a tie. She was excited to see how they night would go leading up to that, though.

Despite not having a date for the dance and instead having helped set up the dance,Blitz had had a considerable amount of fun.Although that fun was almost offset by Miss Xiao Long's Puns which he considered to be horrible,too close to the ones his father makes for his taste.Anyway,when Miss Xiao Long announced she thought it was about time he'd take his place next to the main doors,flattening a few wrinkles in his dress shirt,and serving as a bouncer of sorts if,and that's a big if,on the off chance someone suspicious would try to slip in,if that were to happen he'd be sure not to miss them.In the mean time while there still wasn't enough students for someone to hide themselves he'd be just a little nosy,seeing who people were coming with and if he knew them,his arms crossed and back against the wall.

Niraya arrived a few minutes before the party was ready to start. Her mother encuraged her to go. even gave her one of her old dresses for the occasion. She sighs and nerviously walks in when the doors opened. her ears were flat against her head and her tail wraped around her. it was clear she was nervious. she doesn't interact with the other students.

A dance....an odd concept to Ivory but simple enough to grasp. To her it was like a lesser form of those grand soirees thrown in castle ballrooms from the stories her mother read to her as a child, so as a lesser form of a ball, it required a lesser form of formality probably. This was , of course, only Ivory's logic but all the same she did not hold back on attempting to look nice. Slightly curled hair topped with black ribbons, polished black heels and a frilled ivory colored dress with a shimmering hem she'd picked up in town. Not the grandest ensemble, but it definitely upped her appearance from "cute" to "pretty" in her mind. Still, this was a strange setting for her, lights and music all around, people dancing..none of it was anything she had experience with but she'd come anyway, alone even.

"By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes"...
spaceOpal stood outside of the dance hall's front doors as she waited for her date, Carmine Hervor, to arrive. The faunus was wearing a long-sleeved, floor-length gown that was gold at the top and faded down to a deep red at the bottom. She ran her fingers over the necklace decorating her neck. It felt weird wearing this get up at a Huntsman Academy. They had all gone so long with only seeing each other in combat gear or pajamas or training clothes, so she and Carmine wanted to "surprise" each other in their formal wear. Since they shared a room, that was a little difficult. Luckily, Opal was able to get ready and leave before Carmine got back from an early evening jog. Uncomfortable in her current attire, the faunus stood with her arms crossed over her chest and avoided eye contact with anyone that tried to greet her. Well, when she saw Ivory walking in, Opal spared her a smile and a wave. Ivory was a peculiar girl but she was sweet and true to who she was. Opal appreciated that. Everyone looked so different dressed to the nines but, she had to admit, it was a nice break from the battle ready ensembles. It made her even more excited, and nervous, to see Carmine all dressed up.

CRIMSON ARMATO -Student- --Beacon Academy-- ~The Heiress to Nihility and Hyperbole~
Luckily!! ... it wasn't much of a walk to the dance. Crimson found herself walking among and past a few others catching a few looks. Having finally had her luggage found from being lost in transit, and just in time at that. A long extravagant dress that had in the center lower part of her chest, her family seal of the Armato's.
Making her way up the steps and letting her dress back down and putting her hands in a ball before her as she entered through and amidst the music and faces and smells of food. Carrying herself, no, gliding, across the floor almost and bearing a sweet smile on her face. Seemed almost off, compared to her usual bulky armoured heavy steps and outline. With little jewelry to speak of, a small thin chain linked copper bracelet, small little ring earrings. And compared to her usual ponytail undercut look or her twin tails, her hair was long and ironed with a slight curl at the end. Her hair reaching pretty far down her back.
Making her way over towards a side section to look for maybe a familiar face or two. Seeing the chaperones and volunteers about, and a few but barely any students doing more than talking and eating. The central dance floor clear?
"Hmm... it's no banquet, I read dance I'm sure. Surely someone here can bloody dance..." She turned on a heel and advanced to a random male student taking his hand in one and taking the small plate out of the other, as she pulled him towards the floor. She wasn't going to simply be one of the many without a dance or date."You can dance I hope... shut up, hands... step- " Oddly though, her hand placement and movements were usually reserved for the man of the dance who usually... led the steps. This poor teen pulled about some red faced as Crimson continued to dance with him in a sort of simple faster paced six step.

▰▱▰▱▰▱▰▱▰▱▰▱▰▱ Carmine as well as her family had been quite surprised that she'd even been invited to the dance. As far as her time at Beacon went, her goal was becoming stronger as well as make some friends along the way. While the invitation was brought up by her own teammate, it had initially come as quite a shock for the young woman. After all, she had difficulty making friends for the longest time. Lately, it seemed almost easy. She wrapped her arms over her stomach. What am I suddenly getting nervous for? I mean- I know, but how did this end up happening? Crowds made her nervous, after all, and what was a dance other than a big room full of people? There was also the matter of her outfit... Normally, she'd ask her mom or Opal for fashion advice, but they had the clever idea of surprising one another with their formal-wear. Carmine had been totally stoked about the idea and agreed wholeheartedly. What was better than a surprise? Having to shop for something like this on her own was it's own kind of stressful.
At least I've matched formality with most, she thought to herself as she passed other dance attendees. There weren't many with a top-and-skirt combo, though. Her shirt was a loose, long-sleeved black sheer but covered in lace that preserved modesty. The full knee-length skirt she wore was a layering of red and orange tulle that looked reminiscent of flames. Carmine had even gone through the effort of curling her hair lightly but wasn't sure she was the proper person to judge her own appearance. There was no way Carmine was going to let something like that ruin Opal's and her good time! Her fists cut through the air as she made a couple punches in front of her, a way to psych herself up. "This is a date, after all! I can't let my partner down!" With much more gumption the dolled-up warrior headed to their agreed meeting place near the entrance.
"Opaaaal!" She finally caught sight of her red-haired friend between passerbys. It seemed as though the girl was almost as nervous as Carmine, seemingly avoiding eye contact with most people. She didn't understand why. In her floor-length dress, the faunus looked stunning and succeeded in making her own date jealous. "Oh wow, you look amazing!" the white-haired girl gushed as she circled Opal for a moment. "I might have to go home and hang my head in shame! My date's out of my league!" Carmine placed her arm over her forehead, joking that she might even faint. All playing aside, she really did make the dress look good. From the colors to the style, it all complemented her quite well. "Heh, I'm kidding. Well, mostly. Anyway, shall we?" she held out her hand to Opal with a smile. Perhaps she was still a bit nervous, or her date's aesthetic re-invoked whatever nerves she'd successfully fought off moments ago. Either way, she had a bad feeling she'd end up saying something stupid if they didn't get moving soon.
"I'll protect everyone including you. Nothing is going to get in the way of that, not even me."▱▰▱▰▱▰▱▰▱▰▱▰▱▰
✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧It'd be an outright lie if Stella said asking Elliot to the dance was easy. Her initial plan was to simply go on her own and let the chips fall where they may. That of course changed when Solis heard about the event and began pelting Stella with an innumerable amount of questions. When was it, who was she going with, what was she wearing, those sorts of things. Of course, the faunus didn't expect much else from her sister. That was the sort of person Solis was. "Come on! I know you have someone you'd want to ask you!"
"Erm, well..." The word was drawn out. She very much had someone in mind. "I'm not sure he'd ask..."
"That just means you have to ask him! Obviously." After convincing the girl to take action, Solis wired Stella some lien for a new dress. Some was an understatement. It was actually a little frustrating that her sister had been putting some of the money she'd been saving up off to the side. To spend something so important on a thing like this. "Go buy a dress with a price tag that'll make you puke, okay?" And that's how Stella ended up here, waiting outside the Beacon ballroom for the leader of Team ECHO: Elliot Vermillion Goodwitch. Despite having chosen a meeting time together, she'd shown up fifteen minutes early and took a spot on a nearby bench. Normally, being alone for that amount of time would result in the young faunus passing out cold; however, there was a fair amount of entertainment before her. With her legs crossed, the top one was nearly completely revealed thanks to the slit in the side of her sequined black dress. Yes, seeing everyone in their formal-wear was its own kind of treat. Stella, herself, was wearing a fitted floor-length gown with a sweetheart bodice that had a silver pattern at the top. She wasn't wearing much for jewelry, a couple bracelets on one wrist, though a pair of rings adorned each of her horns. Her hair was pulled back in a long twisted ponytail. While she cleaned up rather nicely, Crimson Armato of Team MNCS threw her for quite a loop. For a moment, the second year almost hadn't recognized her peer. There was a certain elegance to her now that Stella had failed to see before. She blinked a couple times, watching the light-haired girl enter the building.
A lot of people were actually starting to show up. While that didn't make the young woman nervous, it did mean she should probably prepare. How could she prove herself as a worthy date if she was simply lazing about on a public bench?That's right. You asked him, after all. Reaching her arms over her head, Stella stretched and stood in one motion. The light refracted off of the sequins of her dress, appearing to shimmer as she moved. As lovely as it really was, she had half a mind to return the thing in the morning and giving Solis back the money. It almost cost as much as a half a semester's-worth of tutoring! Spend all of it, Stella. I don't want to see any of it back in my account, Stella, she mocked her sister inwardly. The girls all seemed to like it, though, so I suppose I can't complain.
"Sure, things seem a little dim now, but there are always stars among the darkness."✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦

The night was looking to be a potentially interesting one for the leader of STRS. He hadn't really planned on asking anyone to the dance mainly due to sheer shyness, and being nervous. Attending alone and just enjoying the festivities was in turn his plan for the night. His original plan had gone out the window when Russet Ayers from team ARAH asked the boy if he could take his cousin, Jasper, from Atlas out as his date for the dance. Hazel had apparently given his teammate the idea to ask Sigmund for one reason or another. Regardless, the red eyed male reluctantly agreed to the blind date as a favor for his friend, but wasn't sure how it would go, what the girl was like, or anything really. In the end, he was the first one with a date from his group. "I still can't believe I agreed to this.....Russ owes me for this kind of thing. I'd have been more comfortable coming alone, but if I was forced to ask someone I'd prefer one of my female teammates. At least I know them on some scale.....although maybe Tala would flat out reject. It doesn't matter in the end if I didn't even have the courage to ask even one of my own teammates. Some leader I am" He thought with an internal frown.
Stella might have agreed to going with him as his date. Tala was harder to read, but it seemed with time it was slowly getting better. He hoped that was the case at least. In the end, Russ asked him for the favor first. Stella announced she was going with Elliot Vermillion a day or two later, which was a bit of a surprise for him. Rainer was supposedly supposed to come too, but he wasn't sure about their more stoic member Tala. It would be interesting seeing her at an event like this, and Rainer would be no less for different reasons. It would be interesting because he hadn't seen any of his teammates the whole day pretty much. He wondered what his two female teammates would wear. Rainer would probably be some sort of suit or tux. That was generally a given for the males. The girl's could wear all sorts of dress or fancy outfits.
Sigmund had ended up going out to buy a simple black suit for the dance because a tux felt too much for his own personal taste. It was his sister's idea to get him to wear his scarf, although in the back of his mind he figured because it was a gift she gave to him long ago. His 'good luck charm' according to her. It was easier to not argue with his stubborn sister. Snapping himself out of his thoughts, Sigmund noticed a few familiar faces going in the ballroom. It seemed Opal and Carmine were each other's date based on their body language. It was a surprise because of their personalities, yet still nice to see the two first years out to have fun. His red orbs caught sight of his partner standing outside next to a bench, and was admittedly caught off guard. This would probably be the first time he seen the purple haired Faunus in a rather fancy dress, but it easily worked for her. He could easily admit his two female teammates were attractive young women especially in their own unique ways.
"You look rather beautiful, Stella. The dress works really well for you." Sigmund complimented his teammate with a light smile as he stopped right next to her with his hands in his pockets. The girl had been looking towards the building the dance was in for one reason or another. He hoped Elliot didn't forget about the dance, was running late, or worse of all stand her up. If that was the case he'd have to go hunting for a certain first year. It was that or let Professor Goodwitch know. That might be a fate worse than death for the boy. Elliot didn't seem like that kind of guy though from what Sigmund could tell, but one could never fully know. "Your date isn't late is he? I'll go hunt him down if that's the case. I don't think my blind date has arrived, so I have some time to go looking, and drag him here." The leader mentioned with a slight frown. His date hadn't arrived to his knowledge, and he could easily go find Elliot real quick if need be. The boy was rather protective of all his teammates as their friend and leader even if he didn't always express or show it, regardless if they felt negatively about him for some reason.
