A Night at the Ball

And so Valucre crashes the ball, and steals the show.

After a day of hitting numerous panels and crossing paths long enough to grab food and whatnot, the majority of the Valucre crew came back together to attend the Tar Valon Ball. Our dressed was a mixed bag, due to different rumors circulating as to what the theme was and was not. As it turns out, there really was not any such theme, so it worked out nonetheless. :P

Now, it has to figure, we get everyone together to head out to a dance, and only myself and the Hummingbird went out on to the dance floor... at first. See, when you point out to others that the overweight guy and the clumsiest member of Valucre are the two out on the floor, people start to feel a little silly. Of course, a couple others took some stronger encouragement (nudging and up to getting thrown into the throngs, ha) but pretty soon, we had every single one of the attendees out on that floor. 

Now, an interesting thing happened- with about a dozen Valucre folk out there dancing, we started takiong over the entire dance floor, with the majority of others standing back and watching. Well, that is all but this one creepy fellow. You'll be seeing him in the upcoming pics, but this guy was just one of the first weird people we encountered. This guy was working his way into dancing with our group, trying to grind with our womenz, and at like he belonged there. Creepy as all get out, and it led to three of us (Corban, Ran, and myself) all to begin our prepping- there was very nearly a real T-1 fight. Especially with the addition of a couple other weird people trying hard to hit on the Valucre women. 

Now, the Valucre womenz were not the only ones. Much to my chagrin, I had an older women wink at me (apparently blow kisses ((blehhh))) and later on another girl trying to join me everywhere I went, despite clearly being with another person. Poor Malum was hit on by the organizer of the ball herself, who kept calling him adorable, wanting him to stay, asking him to stay longer, etc. So, if we can do a what did we learn session from this night, we can conclude that Valucreans know how to take over a dance, and that we are some sexy mother fuckers. 

Speaking of which, the pics!

Princess Jasmine???

Fashionable

Not sure what was going on back there...

Yep, this writer is a major dork

Sometimes, things got a little inappropriate

Nette really did get her dance...

And what would this be, without the creepers.

We had a couple other creepers, but it looks like we did not get pics of them. This one was, by and large, the absolute worst. Just look at how he was always trying to get in on our group- male and female, it did not matter!

That is the blog for Saturday night, an update for Sunday night will probably show up monday afternoon.
