It seems like some sort of ridiculous joke, a ball in this house. To celebrate what? Our wretchedness

I may attend, if only to see if our "host" makes an appearance.

[cheifofcheifs]

Hm. That would be reason enough for going, if nothing else.

I doubt our... "host" will, though. Too many of us would like a try at his neck, and he knows it. Or she, I suppose. I can't imagine them taking that sort of risk unnecessarily, especially considering how reclusive they have been thus far.

The chance is slim, but there nonetheless. Who knows what logic he follows?

[iusferendum]

After being denied all but the barest comforts for so long, there is nothing wrong with wishing for a few niceties. I'd rather enjoy some different clothes myself.

Perhaps we might find an old wardrobe, or something along those lines?

[cheifofcheifs]

I suppose you have a point. But no point complaining about it when everyone is suffering the same way.

That would be quite a blessing. Even some good, stout Two Rivers wool clothes would be nice about now, after so long with so limited a clothing selection. I wouldn't put it past the house to procure something of that nature.

You don't have anyone from home to dance with?

[cheifofcheifs]

...No. There was a woman from my homeland here, once, but only very briefly before she... left.

[idkmybffvince]

I'm sorry to hear that.

Uh, I'm Yuffie! I don't think we've met?

[cheifofcheifs]

It can't be helped. Nothing to be sorry for.

No, I don't think so. My name is Rand.

I'd love to dance with you...though I have to warn you I'm not exactly good with western dance.

[cheifofcheifs]

It would be my pleasure. I fear I'm not entirely certain what you mean by "western" dancing, but I think that since everyone comes from such different places, we'll all be learning a few new kinds of dancing at this ball. So don't worry about it.

[moar_sake_plz]

I hope I won't step on your toe too much.

Though I feel slightly worried about the ball...I feel like this ball would be a prelude for the next storm in this house.

[cheifofcheifs]

I think I'd manage to survive a few bruised toes.

That is rather likely... Your wit is definitely quicker than mine, for the possibility had not yet crossed my thoughts. But whether the ball happens or not, if there is a storm coming there isn't much we can do to stop it, so we might as well enjoy what calm weather we have now.
