The spring formal at Muse Academy brings a touch of class to the school and much-needed relief from end-of-term pressures.
To see how it went last year, consult the 2010 planning thread and the https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=6873″>2010 ball.
Patience, Please
This site is under reconstruction and will look strange for a while. We regret the inconvenience.
A touch of class to the school? Was that intended? I can’t tell.
So I presume we’ll want this one to be old-fashioned after our futuristic Yuri’s Night party?
My thoughts precisely. Can you say Victorian England?
You know what? I think I may join this one for once. That is, if I may. May I?
You certainly may!
We need stop stop saying “may.”
You’re clever.
Can we have a rooftop maze again? Those are always fun.

Theme
Spring/Meadow
I think we should have some crackers and artisanal cheeses, with honey.
We really have to have a maze again. It seems like a must.
I also really like the idea of a Victorian England theme, if not for at least the dress code.
I’ve never attended a May Day Ball before… Would you all mind terribly if I participated?
Also, normally I would be all for a Victorian England theme, but it seems like that theme has been used quite a lot, lately… Could we perhaps have a garden party theme instead?
Why would we mind?
For some reason, even if I help plan the parties, I never actually come. I always mean to, but then I just sort of never get around to it. I should fix that.
Thank you! I shall attend!
I was thinking it would be cool to have the theme of the party be “out in the countryside, partying among overgrown Greco-Roman ruins”. Not that the party would be Greco-Roman themed, it would actually fit well with Victorian times. (We could be Romantic antiquarians)
…Hello? The month is almost over…
We faculty members plan to enjoy the May Ball, whether or not anybody else on the blog chooses to notice it.
I’m sorry…I’ll try to participate, but I’m not good with parties on- or off-blog.
FOOD:

Crackers and artesianal cheeses, with honey

Theme ideas:
-Spring/meadow
– Victorian England
– Garden party
– Party among ancient overgrown ruins
So the ball’s tomorrow. What are we doing?
I really like the overgrown ruins idea.
How about a garden in a overgrown Victorian England ruin in spring?
Or we could post a vote on Random Thread.
I like your idea. Actually, maybe it’s a party at an overgrown ruin of a garden in Victorian Englad in spring.
So basically we’re going for:
-Victorian England
-Overgrown garden
-Ancient ruins
?
I think that would work–there’s a lot of Roman ruins in England, and I’m sure many of them had gardens built on top of and around them. Let them get a bit overgrown and I think we have the site for the party.
That would work very nicely.
If we want to be more specific, I highly recommend Bath, England, which was my second favorite city that I visited in the UK. Lots of gardens, some major ruins, and tons of English character.
We’re talking about decorations in the Muse Academy ballroom, aren’t we? I’m afraid we can’t afford to fly the whole school to Bath for a party.
Muse Academy has a TARDIS, though, does it not?
Where’s the challenge in that? Half the fun of a themed ball is creating the atmosphere.
I don’t see why we can’t recreate the entirety of Bath in a ballroom. Stranger things have happened at Muse Academy.
With the help of the wungs, I think we could concoct something suitable.
Good idea.
Could someone please tell me what time the ball thread will be posted?
Ready and waiting!
Does your dancing ability have to be the same as IRL? I completely fail there at even the simplest dances. The rooftp garden is nice, of course, but it would be nice to enjoy the whole thing…
At Muse Academy events, everybody dances with catlike grace.
Yay!
I heartily agree with your assessment of the situation.
Perhaps you do. I dance with the indubitable grace of the cephalopod.
Cephalopods are amazingly graceful in the ocean. Have you ever seen a cuttlefish in an aquarium? Or watched a video of an octopus squeezing through a hole the size of a quarter?
Of course, they are in their element — but at Muse Academy, you are in yours.
That is really elegant.
Not at all. It follows logically from the way Muse Academy was defined, as your ideal school. As such, it suits you perfectly and brings out the best in you, making you, perforce, your best, most intelligent and graceful self — as graceful as a cephalopod in the sea.
I was actually referring to the elegant manner in which you expressed this decided fact.
Perhaps you were, too. It’s hard to tell.
Exactly. Others dance with feline grace, and I dance with cephalopodian grace, which is indeed indubitable.
