Prom, huh? I gotta say, I ain't usually the prom type. Or the fancy dress type. But I guess if everyone in town's invited, it's kinda just like a normal party, an' that I can get behind. Plus I think there's some kids I'm gonna need ta keep an eye on durin' this thing, so I guess I should go! [Yes Ai and Slugger,

Nena's going! Nena's going! With her super hot amazing boyfriend! He said he'd get her a dress and everything!!

[freakinblur]

Yeah? So we really gotta get all dressed up for this, huh. [He doesn't sound too thrilled.] Maybe I'll just wear my police uniform 'r somethin' if I'm gonna keep an eye on the door. Tends ta make droned listen ta me better.

[partytoastess]

If you don't want to dance, that's what you should do! Nena wants to be prom queen and if the slightest thing ruins her dance..

[ Suddenly that cutesy, sweet, voice derails into something horrifying ]

I will blow someone's fucking brains out.

[freakinblur]

Well, I'm tryin' ta snag me a date, I mean I really doubt sh--

[miss_enma_ai]

Is the prom a dance??

[Wait....]

Who are you keeping an eye on?

[freakinblur]

Yeah, I ended up blowin' off my one in high school. Well, I went ta all the parties people had after it, though. I wonder if anyone's got those planned.

What, ain't ya gonna go with yer little boyfriend?

[miss_enma_ai]

.......I don't...

[Yeah like that's going to work. Are her cheeks a little red? Maybe.]

I didn't know what a prom was.

[freakinblur]

It's just like this fancy dress party they have at school that pretty much boils down to a popularity contest, what with tha king 'n' queen contest 'n' stuff. Here, though, it just kinda sounds like a giant party fer everyone.

[headedforhope]

Apparently it's expected of me to go, as a "popular kid". Or so a few persistent drones at school informed me.

[freakinblur]

Popular with drones? Geez, yer days at school must be fulla extra creepiness then.

[headedforhope]

[polite laugh]

I guess you can say that! I don't even know how it happened- this town really is weird, huh?

[freakinblur]

It don't usually make a lotta sense. I mean, they made a guy like me a cop, so it shows they only like ta mess with us.

[caaats]

Why do you want to keep the drones out?

[ Der. ]

[freakinblur]

The fact that they're creepy, weird, make people uncomfortable, ruin a good time... how many reasons ya want?

[caaats]

Oh well. I only lived one the woman who said she was my wife for a short while but she was very pleasant. Always smiling and... well. I was sleeping half of the time.

The little boy is perhaps a somewhat strange... but so is America. So I don't know...

[freakinblur]

Sleepin' is prob;ly a good way ta put up with 'em. Too bad I don't do a lotta that.

So they ain't all drones then? Me 'n' Ai've been in tha same house since I we got here, but we've rotated through a ton 'a house mates in that time.

[radiant_will]

I was on the fence about it.

But I'll go, since you're asking.

[freakinblur]

[Internally he is going YESYESYESYES, but outwardly he is cooooool.]

Sweet! I'm hopin' this thing will actually be fun an' not lame like every other prom.

[radiant_will]

Knowing everyone here, at least it probably won't be boring.

Oh, and don't worry about dressing up fancy. I've seen some of those prom dresses, and no thanks.

[freakinblur]

That's for sure. So how many times do ya think the punch'll get spiked?

Yeah, ya don't really seem like tha poofy pink prom dress kinda girl.
