New Year's Eve At The Castle Of Lions!
After the success of the summer's ball, and having never celebrated Earth New Year's (Alteans have an entirely different calendar), Allura decided to throw a ball for the New Year. As she knows there are lots of other events going on, this is a little more laid back dress code wise, but she still went all out so that people could enjoy themselves.
When people enter the foyer of the Castle Of Lions, they will see that the hallway leading up to the ballroom is lit up and there are floral arrangements on the walls. There's also a place for people to leave coats and purses / bags, that is guarded by an attendant. Allura made sure to hire plenty of staff so that she wouldn't have to lift a finger the actual evening of the ball and would be able to enjoy herself.
The ballroom of the castle itself is rather spacious. There is a rather large dance floor, and an area set aside for dining. As for food, it's set out in a buffet style setting, with plenty of options for appetizers, entrees, and deserts. Allura made sure to get food that everyone would enjoy, and it is being served and refreshed throughout the evening. There's also an open bar. The ball, however, is family friendly, so if you're visibly under eighteen, you will be carded.
Allura would have hired the same band from the last ball. Once again, they would be playing anything from this playlist, but are taking requests.
Aside from dancing, there are other activities for people to partake in, as well. There a couple of areas set up for photobooths, as well as a couple of locations where professional photographers are stationed. For those with children, there is a room across the hall from the ballroom to act as a playroom, complete with activities for the children, as well as supervision so the parents can go and enjoy themselves if they want to, though the event itself is geared for families to be able to enjoy themselves, as well.
Outside of the ballroom is a balcony area, where people can relax and go into the gardens of the castle, if they so choose. Allura made sure to set up little stands of refreshments for anyone who would have wanted some while outside. This is met to be a little of a chill space for anyone who wanted a break from the dancing.
Overall, the intention of the evening is for everyone to enjoy themselves and have a good time. While she's focusing on having fun, Allura is making sure to say hello to as many people as possible, and make sure that they're having a good time. Towards midnight, there will be a champagne toast and countdown to the New Year. Β© tessisamess
