The Gymnasium has been decorated with an assortment of spooky Christmas decorations, one side seems to favor one holiday over the other, though. Students are encouraged to wear Halloween themed outfits, and bring presents for a game of secret Santa.
[This ORP is for all ages]

Frederique walks into the Gym, pulling the brown gloves over her hands. Her outfit of choice for this evening was, of course, something Vocaloid related. She did so love those singing japanese robots; even if her music was better. and, you know, she's actually more robotic, since she actually exists. but nonetheless, she came as Miku from the 'Matroyshka' video, even managing to find a green sweater to match the one the green haired Vocaloid wore. And if Freddie had to guess, she looks absolutely sexy. But that's nothing new. She always looks her best. Strapped to her back was her trusty guitar, and in her arms a bundle of flowers.
Frederique looks around the room, shaking her head and clicking her tongue disapprovingly. This party has no flowers! Yes, it was halloween based, but goodness flowers are a must for parties! She sighs; oh well, at least she brought plenty to decorate with; she would not stand to be at a party with no flowers. Frederique gets started on decorating the Gymnasium, filling vases and cups with Kaffier Lilies, Fritillaria, Hellebore, and Chocolate Cosmos, occasionally going outside to grab more flowers.
Phyl walks into the Gym, tugging at the poofy skirt she was wearing. She stayed up all night altering one of her dresses to have more gears and metal on it, giving her the appearance of a clockwork doll. It also helped that her cracks made it seem as if she were made of frail china.
She notices Frederique, extremely confused by her actions. Was the staff still setting up for the party? Did she arrive too early? After a few moments, she shakes her head. No, she was right on time, as always. She knew she was.
Phyl continues to think.
...
...
Perhaps the lady just REALLY liked flowers. That's an acceptable possibility.
Phyl sighs, walking to a chair and sitting down, playing with the bow of a present she was holding. She brought two for the event; one for the secret santa, and the other for someone else, if they showed up.

Jaiden's entrance soon after Phyl certainly showed the work she had gone through to prepare for this ball. On her face lay a gilded golden masquerade mask, lined around the edges with glittering pink gems, and a peacock's feather beginning above her right eye. Her hair normally cut short replaced with a wig matching her natural hair color elaborately tied up over her head in a fancy bun, held together by golden chains that hung down from the hair, sparkling in the light.
She wore a dress of yellow silk, an extremely expensive gown that she seemed to have edited on her own, more chains of gold lining the hem of the dress instead of the silk, a large part of the original hem removed and replaced with the jewelry. Each strand of golden jewelry ended with a pink gem, the 'hem' long enough that it should drag, instead held up by an unseen force. On her feet were golden heels, which she walked in almost perfectly, appearing a good bit older and more mature in these clothes than she truly was.
In her hands she held a smaller sized box, wrapped in a pink wrapping paper. She made her way towards a chair and table where Frederique had already set flowers, toying with the box in her hand as she looked around. The only person she noticed look a little familiar, though nothing jumped out at her, the clockwork dress made her stare for a bit longer than she had intended. She shook her head and looked away from the doll, over to the teen-aged woman running back and forth with flowers. This certainly met with approval, the teenager almost certainly was making the evening prettier than it was already. Now if only someone would appear who she could pass the time with.

Adessi shyly entered the ball, quickly glancing around the room to see who else was there. She noted with some inner dismay that everyone else had elaborate, pretty costumes while she... was quite literally dressed in a rag doll's dress. She sighed, and finally slid all the way in, scooting down against the wall but never leaving it's side. Well, at least two of the other girls were her age, now if only she could gather the nerve to speak to any of them....
Echo was the next to arrive. Like the others before him (excluding Adessi) he was dressed in a fairly elaborate costume. His was made of high quality sheer fabric, though the many layers made it so it was impossible to see through. He had decided to stick with his sea theme and go as a jellyfish. Though it really just looked like he was wearing a poofy bubble skirted dress with multicolored tails.
Yes, a dress.
He strode into the gymnasium, giving the others a quick look over. Ugh, the rag doll was present. He turned up his nose and headed over to the refreshments table to get himself something to drink. At least the others were easier on the eyes...
Altair had to literally kick her Papa in the shin to get to this ball, and so upon her arrival she appeared to be a bit pissed off. Pissed off and very feathery. She was SUPPOSED to be a dove of sorts, but it really just looked like a dress with a feather overcoat and some little wing clips in her hair. She stomped into the gymnasium, looking around for a moment before finally sighing and moving over to one of the seats to sit down for awhile. She noted Jaiden was there and waved, but didn't approach her just yet. She felt like she needed a cool down. Her Papa was just too over protective sometimes.

With the swish of fabric and a few muttered words, Lenora enters the ball, her nicely-done hair being tugged at by small, gloved hands. She had chosen a rather impressive outfit to wear to this ball, with her hair done up and everything. She's dressed in a princess outfit, to put it simply, the long dress trailing down onto the floor and the sleeves adorned with small poofs. Her arms were mostly covered with long white gloves, and several fingers were decorated with small rings of various colors, ranging from silvers to golds. As stated earlier, her hair was done up all fancy, curled in a way so that it framed her face. She was wearing a small tiara, which gleamed in the lighting of the large ballroom.
She pauses at the entrance, taking a small moment to glance around at the others. Not too many people, thankfully, not even enough to make a crowd! With a deep breath, she stops tugging at her hair for the moment, straightening up slightly and walking further into the ballroom. A small smile shows its way onto her face as she glances around at all the little ones. So many of them, it was almost cute.
Lenora, though, being the silly thing she is, finally chooses to walk over to the nearest wall and just stand there. All that grace she had probably shown while walking in was gone, as she leaned up against the wall. A nervous frown formed on her face as she took another look around the ballroom. She didn't know any of these people, and that one had... Ugh, fins. She went back to tugging at her hair, continuing to watch everyone that was here for now. Gotta make sure that they'll be okay to talk to... Gotta... Make sure...

Fred notices Adessi, frowning slightly. That child looks as if she's been whacked over the head every day, once a day. Fred walks over to the small girl, crouching over and tilting her head "Young lady, you look like a bit of a mess; do you wish for something more suitable to wear to this event? I have a variety of clothes in my bag, I'm sure we can fix one up to suit such a lovely young lady." She smiles, nodding.

Adessi glanced up from the ground.... oh! The big girl had come over. She put up her best polite smile, albeit it looked nervous. "Um... I think... I am supposed to be a bit of a mess?" She paused, looking down at her dress. "I am a rag doll..." After another short pause, she looked up at Fred again. "But um.. if you want to... I do not mind."

Fred nods, smiling "You look adorable as a ragdoll, but I'm sure you'd look even cuter as a little flower girl." She leads Adessi over to a corner, picking up some chocolate cosmos as she passes by a table. She picks up her large army bag, dumping the contents on the floor and rifling through them "I was going to obtain the manequins from the art room and fix them up with these uniforms I bought for cheap, but I think you would look much better in one of the frilly ones..." She pulls out a white and pink dress, holding it up to Adessi and nodding "We can just pin it so it fits you better."

Adessi followed after her, lightly biting her lower lip. She had thought her dress was okay, even if she wasn't the best at sewing just yet, but she supposed it really wasn't that great after all. "A-..are you sure?" She stared at the dress, it seemed awfully expensive...

Lyuben flashes his trademark grin as he steps into the gym. "Well isn't this just the most swankified place in the whole academy!" He chuckles. All eyes are on him as he struts across the dance floor and over to the punchbowl, his pristine white Prince Charming costume seeming to glow beneath the lights, each gold epaulette shimmering and sparkling. Or at least, that's how he feels. Lyuben always feels as if all eyes are on him- after all, that's where they should be. Pouring himself a glass of punch, he turns to scan the crowd. Well, perhaps crowd is a bit of an overstatement, there aren't many people there just yet. However, his eye does linger on a certain goat girl in a beautiful princess gown and... are those bunny slippers? His grin widens. Yes, she will make a good conquest to add to the list. Straightening his sash, Lyuben grabs a second glass of punch and strides over to Lenora. Handing her the glass, he winks.
"Victor Hugo once threw a baseball through a cat. Did you know that?"

"Of course I'm sure! I was just like you when I was your age..." Well, except she was less polite... but still! "If you would prefer not to wear it, I won't force it on you dollie."

Theres a slight pause as Lenora (who is just kind of staring at Lyuben like he appeared out of nowhere) attempts to take in what just happened.
"Um... Wh-What?" She blinks a few times, confusion clear on her face. After a few moments of being silly, she attempts to regain her 'I am a pretty princess with bunny slippers' attitude, standing up straighter and grabbing the glass he handed her politely, though she still looks... Very, very confused.

Adessi glanced around, then looked back up to Fred and slowly nodded. "Okay... if you do not mind..." She mustered up another small smile.
Aiden hadn't really been sure about coming to this event, but Edmund had mentioned going, and she figured Willow would probably come too, so she decided to go... as a ghost... thing. It was a lame costume but she didn't really feel like getting all dressed up at the time.
She entered the ball and looked around, noting that she knew absolutely none of these kids. Not a one. Where had they come from, anyway?
Silas wandered into the gym, bearing his usual half-awake expression complete with a sleepy smile. He never seemed to get over that sleepiness, despite being free of Whisper. He was not dressed up in a costume. Oh no. He had one of those horrendous christmas sweaters on, striped with blue, teal, pink and purple, with a christmas tree on the front... light green pants, and yellow-orange shoes. What a disaster.
River entered next, wearing a fake pair of ram horns and a pin on sheep tail. It was his fall back costume, after all with hair like his, what else could he be? He shuffled in, looking around. Only a couple of kids seemed familiar, but no one he'd spoken to. How awkward...
He found himself an unoccupied seat and sat down for the time being. Maybe someone he knew would come in...
Echo surveyed the incoming guests, judging each and every one of them. None were up to his standards and oh god what was that thing WEARING? That sweater was HIDEOUS. He screamed internally, and averted his poor eyes.
Wow there sure were a lot of people here! Altair smiled a bit more, excited. Maybe she'd meet some new people and make new friends... and prove to her Papa that not everything was horrible all of the time.
Tobias slid into the gym, seemingly not wearing a costume at all. Then again the third eye kind of was a permanent costume, not to mention the fake eyes on his wings and tail... He looked around, feeling a little out of place. Despite the colorful array of people, he felt like a bit of a freak.

Coming in right after Tobi was Vic all dressed up in his Thor costume he had special ordered online to look almost identical to the one from the movie. He even had the hammer which of course was fake. Vic had even gotten a long blonde wig that had proven to be a little difficult putting on thanks to his horn but he still felt good, real good.
Looking around the gym he saw all the other different kids then looked down to Tobi, placing a hand on the boy's head. It seemed he had not wanted to dress up but Vic would never force him. Going on one knee Vic smiled to him. "You should go interact with all the other kids, if you want." Vic whispered, giving Tobi a little nudge forward. Sure he had gotten comfortable enough to talk to the boy but it was still only in whisper.

Isolde has not given up her love of ballet, despite the wings making parts of the movements and dancing awkward. The last time she attended the dance in the gym, she was the white swan from the Swan Princess; she didn't feel as much of a leading lady this time. Instead, in honor of the holiday, Isolde adopted the costume from her favorite dance in the Nutcracker: the Russian candy canes. She wore red flats instead of the pointe shoes, white stockings, a red and white tulle skirt and leotard, and red ribbons in her white hair. Kei had helped her dust a sprinkling of fine red and white glitter over her cheekbones. She looked lovely, and the light caught her when she moved through it, but she steered clear of her best friend once at the dance; he should be with his boyfriend. As for everyone else . . . Isolde didn't have the energy to run after people. After the dance, she would be packing her bags to spend most of the holidays with her grandfather in the city. Tonight she just wanted to feel beautiful.
Hank had a halfhearted attempt at a wintery costume with a cassock's coat and a big furry hat; he wasn't sure what to wear to a dance that combined two holiday seasons.
Besides, he had come to see Adeline, not to have people ooh and ahh over him. Whatever she came as, he would be happy just to see her again.
