DAY 209 | vi ( audio ) → open.
We need a Sadie Hawkins. [ seemingly unprompted, but it's been on her mind for a while now. something wholesome and fun that everyone can participate in without pesky age requirements or being weary of stepping foot in a bar or a vampire-owned establishment. ] It's a dance - not as formal as prom, but there's usually a theme of some kind involved. For example, my sorority at Yale was planning on holding a Phantom themed Sadie Hawkins towards the end of the fall semester. Our theme will definitely not be anything involving Andrew Lloyd Webber. Rebekah and I will be working out those details - theme, where, when...

[ because her original vampire bestie is the obvious choice for partner in dance planning crime. ]

Another thing: the girls usually do the asking for a Sadie Hawkins. None of this misogynistic nonsense of waiting for a guy who's never going to notice you to ask you to go to the dance with him. You get to make him sweat and worry that no-one's going to ask him and he'll be forced to go stag. But, since I know not everyone is of the heterosexual persuasion here, I say interpret the tradition as it applies to you. If you're a boy who likes boys, ask a boy. You don't have to go with a girl if that's not who you are. This should be something fun for us, not anything that makes people feel uncomfortable.

	...that could be interesting. [ He's been kind of deliberately avoiding group socialization, but he's not going to say no to romantic things now that he actually has someone he's romantic with. ] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[ nooo it's hard and scary ] It's a little sad that there'd be nothing differentiating it from every other school dance out there for same-gender couples. Guess that really can't be avoided with such a gender-specific premise in the first place, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sadly, it can't, but that's why I said that people should interpret tradition as they want to see it. My best friends back home are gay and I'm not about to exclude anyone, just because they aren't living up to the outdated, bigoted expectations of a society that I don't really think exists here.

	[ There's a brief eyeroll that she can't see, but the if terminology makes sense for the world she's from then he's not going to bother opening that can of worms. ] Thanks for the consideration. In any case, you got a date in mind for this thing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A couple. [ including the terrible choice of one of rebekah's brothers. YOU IN DANGER GURL. ] And you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I-- [ PAUSE. ] Yes, but uh, I meant uh. The date it would happen on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ OH. that kind of date... ] I was thinking Day 211, but I'll need to go over that with Rebekah first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-03-06 02:38 am UTC (link)
	Okay. I trust you'll keep us posted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cheerleader 2013-03-06 02:53 pm UTC (link)
	Of course! Once we've got something a little more set in stone, we'll make another announcement. (Reply to this) (Parent)
