The LWH Prom was originally going to be held in the LWH Gym. Recent events have resulted in the expected attendence more than tripling. And due to the high profile of certain student's families several related events are being planned.
Therefore, The Quank Family is donating use of the newly constructed Legion World Resort & Convention Center to the Students of Legion World High for the two week period prior to the Grand Opening. Note: The upper floors of the hotel are off-limits to unchaperoned students, The Beach Houses around Painted Bay may be rented for after parties with the written permission of a Parent or Legal Guardian (and a damage deposit)
Accomodations for families of LWH Students visiting from off world will be provided for a nominal fee through the booking office.
The four main ballrooms will be designated as follows:
Ballroom A - V.I.P. Social and Ambassador Susha Bornub of Diementia L3's Gala Reception.
Ballroom B - LWH Prom.
Ballroom C - Inter-Galactic Uni-Brow Anti-Defamation Society Annual Awards Banquet.
Ballroom D - Security Office & LW Teachers Union Kegger & Pole Dancing Competition.
Ballroom doors open at 9 PM
Cocktails will be served in the SHAKES V Lounge from 5 pm to 7 pm
The Prom Formal Dinner will be in the New Starfield Room from 7 PM to 9 PM
Security Officers Not on the Event Security Roster posted below found inside Ballroom B after 8:30 PM Will be teleported to Queen Hoo-Rah's Harem in Cack for the duration of the events.

Everyday Girl (Attendee)
My Whee Fem (Attendee)

I'd forgotten about Susha Bornub's reception. That will make things more interesting...and not in a good way.
<overlooks the vast courtyard leading up to the main building>
I don't know how I let myself get talked into this.
<smiles>
Sure I do. My and Brit talked me into it, that's why. Maybe they're right and I do need a night of fun. Still, why do I have such a bad feeling about this coming night that I felt I had to come check out the Convention Center beforehand? Nerves? Or just Security Office training kicking in?
I'll find out soon enough...
<turns to overlook the city>
Guess I'm home, Legion World...
Well, Look at you.
Welcome Back! I'ts so good to see you! I know my grandaughter has missed you terribly and so has My Whee.
Stop by the house, in fact... do you have somewhere to stay? We've plenty of room. Assuming you can put up with Stoopid Cat.
Hi Pagan!
<gives Pagan Lass a tight hug--the hug of someone who hasn't seen any family or friends in awhile>
It's so good to see you! I can't wait to see Brit and My Whee.
Thanks for the offer but I should be okay. Believe it or not, Cobie actually had put some of his properties in my name a few years ago. So they're actually mine. How he snuck that by me, I'll never know. So I'm thinking of checking them out and seeing if I can do anything with them. If I can get over the fact that *he* used to own them.
And before you ask, no I haven't seen him and no I don't intend to.
Sell them out from under him. It's what I would do!
Okay, first off, what's between you and Cobie is none of my business, but... If you need anything, and I mean anything, don't you dare hesitate to ask.
And just because you've got a place don't think you get out of coming by the house. Dinner tomorrow? Around 7?
Can't wait
It'll be great! And I could use the company.
<smiles>
Well I'm off...but I feel a lot better already. Thanks, Pagan.
{lands outside on her flying unicorn}
Why am I drawn to this place? It must be important.
{reads a sign on the door}
"Help Wanted"? Should I...apply for a job?
<flies in with Dev>
It's high time we did a thorough search of this place. We now have not only gut feelings but some evidence to suggest the recent attacks on LMBers are relating to the upcoming LW Prom. And this shooter has shown he's got some intelligence--it would make sense he'd familiarize himself with the upcoming battleground, if that is indeed what he intends.
Hello Cobalt, Dev-Em.
Is there something I can help you with?
Excuse me for just a second...
<Turns and stops Hot Chick, who is pushing a hotel Housekeeping trolley>
New Girl, would you please check and see if Ambassador Gruertis Nyebif's Suite is ready yet?
Sorry, It just tickles me to call her that for some odd reason...
We've had good luck on Legion World with people called "New ___".
Pagan, it's a bit of a long story so I won't beat around the bush. I assume you've heard of the various attacks on LMBers over the last 48 hours. Based on evidence gathered by Everyday Girl and her team and then through some deductive reasoning by Dev and myself, I am now convinced the attackers are somehow related to the upcoming Legion World Prom. In what way is not exactly clear.
Now look, I know you're not happy with my intimate knowledge of your granddaughter's personal life. I'm going to have to ask you to trust me that my belief in the Prom's importance goes far beyond that previous argument I had with you, Brit and just about everyone else I've come into contact with.
<stops for a second>
Y'know, I mentioned it myself when I first came by here a few days ago. But you suddenly mentioning Gruertis Nyebif's name has me thinking. What if the Prom isn't the endgame but the means to the end? What if the real target is the ambassadors dinner? And infiltrating the Prom is just one of the steps to do so...?
But there is also the Security Office & LW Teachers Union Kegger & Pole Dancing Competition going on in Ballroom D. A Majority of the security team will be there, and probably inebriated.
We get ahold of the attendee list for the prom. See if there are any names that seem off.
Well, the atendee list is basicly the senior class roster and their dates. Brit is Prom Queen, Sam is Prom King, Brit's court are My Whee, Destiny Dazzling, Hope Blunt, and Sandi Beach. Sam's court are Tony Broadneck, Billy Bob Roadgrader, Alan Jayson, and Mike Sharpe.
The Queen Emeritus is Lolita, and the King Emeritus is Invisible Brainiac.
You know who the Security Staffers are, and I assume you'll want to increase their numbers, and the band is "Calamity."
The staff like New Girl, are all Quank Family Retainers and or Quank Resort and Casino Staff. their security clearances are on file.
I'd forgotten Lolita is Queen Emeritus. Too bad she's going to miss the Prom, she probably would have had fun. Good for IB though.
There's only one name on that list that seems out of place to me. (Besides Hope Blunt--who offered me the craziest thing EVER when I caught her buying lotus fruit a few weeks ago and had to bust her). And you both know who that is. But besides Sam Pureheart, none of those names seem odd to me. I don't know them all of course, so I suggest we do a little more research on them all, and the whole senior class, but honestly, I expect you took care of that already Pagan.
I guess we have to keep digging...
What do you mean Lolita is going to miss the prom? She was planning on attending when I talked to her last night.
And are you positive the Blunt girl you busted was Hope?, that sounds more like her cousin Randi. She won't be attending... she dropped out earlier this year and went to work for Tamper at the E.G.S.C..
Wait, what? Lolita is
here?
On Legion World?I...I had no idea. She hasn't contacted me in quite awhile. I guess I'll be seeing her...at the Prom.
<shakes head and forgets about it>
No, I'm quite sure it was Hope Blunt. I've busted her cousin Randi several times. Including the time she was giving me a lap dance at Shameless Hussies and then offered to sell me lotus fruit. Hope is a good kid though, I think she just made a bad decision that night. I scared her strait. I not only omni-cuffed her, I stopped two armed robberies with her in my arms.
But I get what you're implying about the Randi Blunt connection between the High School and the shooter, who was supplied by Tamper Lad's Evil Genius Supper Club. Perhaps Randi Blunt was the go-between. It would explain why Cafe Cramer was a drop-off (among potential other reasons to be there).
<omni-com>
Security Officers, bring in Randi Blunt. Check Shameless Hussies and the Evil Genius Supper Club.
Sometimes the Macho Goodness just drips off of you, Cobie.
New Girl, while you're standing there listening in, call the janitor to mop up that big puddle around the Security Chief...
Cobie, I'm not implying anything. I just know that if one of the Blunt Girls is involved in something shady, it's more likely to be Randi than Hope.
I agree. And while we wait for Randi Blunt to be taken in, there's not much more we can do other than comb the facility for any traces of our mysterious shooter being here scoping out his potential future battle zone.
The Prom is rapidly approaching and something tells me not matter what we do, its going to come down to that night.
Ahhh...who knew performing menial work could feel so much like destiny!
<cleans and makes floor shine>
I own this place. But, I'm still walking around emptying the trash and cleaning up puddles of "Macho Goodness."
I gotta be doing something wrong...
Hey You, Bucket Boy, Mop Geezer, whateva yer name is.
Is dis is da place where da Int-Gralactic Uni-Brow Anti-Badmouthin' Society Shindig is gonna be held at?
<Covered in dryer lint & washwater from Hot Chick/New Girl not being able to figure out the operating instructions on a Washer/Dryer-Bot>
Hmmm... Do I know you? There's a board in the
Main Lobby That shows the upcoming events.
I think the one you want is part of Friday's schedule.
<flies back to the front to wait for Dev to show back up>
Well, I've done as much recon as I could. No sign of anything any weirder than a normal day on Legion World. My instincts tell me the mysterious shooter has definitely been here before, but isn't here now. And he was careful enough to leave just about no trace, unless Dev finds something.
Hello, Abin. How's the preperation for your four mega-events that are happening at the same time? Man, you really asked for it! I don't want to jinx things, but if things get hectic there will be at least one major building on Legion World destroyed and well...(take a guess which is the leading contender)...
Cobie, When we (and by we I mean Pagan) decided to build this place the first words out of Brit's and Bart's mouths were six weeks.
Meaning they expected this place to be leveled within six weeks of opening.
Pagan said No Way. So this place is built to resist a full on Dark Oval assault from space. I'll have the specs and blueprints sent to your office, even though I know Bart already has them, Go over them, they contain a few surprises for anyone who decides to attack.
Hey Abin, I got my minions at the Powershpere working OT, so if you need extra power for the events, just say the word
Come to think of it Deddy, Calamity has been known to blow a fuze or two when they crank up thier amps.
Coolio, I'll get my four minions...incubus, sucubus, hecubus and autobus to run the lines and get you hooked you.
So, is the LW Prom this weekend? Beginning tonight? What's the time line?
(I assume if it runs into the next day, we'll just figure roleplay time has slowed down in relation to real time).
Prep for the prom starts after school today, the senior class is doing most of the work themselves.
The concurrant events are being preped by Resort & CC Staff.
I believe Officer Taylor is setting up the Kegger/Pole Dancing Competition stuff. But i have been wrong before...
So tonight is Prep night and then tomorrow the festivities begin.
In the old days, in preperation for the Prom, I'd always try to seduce some one else's date to make sure there was the right amount of drama at the Prom itself. I was thinking too small-scale back then.
Upping the drama quotient at the Prom sounds a bit risky, Cobie (too many crying girls using toilet paper to staunch their tears can wreak havoc with the plumbing), but if any one can pull it off, I'm sure it's you.
Not to mention running mascera.
So when's this shindig kick off? Until the LW Prom kicks off, all we can do is sit and wait and prepare our traps...
Okay, Ring, why am I here?
You instructed me to take you where you needed to be.Hmmm... Why do I need to be here?
This is where it started.Where what started?
The chain of events that resulted in the murder of Pagan Lass.Pagan died as the result of a horrible disease,
C.O.P.D. , she wasn't murdered.
How did she develop C.O.P.D.?She smoked those old style Earth Cigarettes, right up until the day she died.
Which have been outlawed for centuries because they're extremely addictive and damaging to the lungs. How did she get them?.Magic? I don't know... I... I didn't dare ask.
If she was creating them magically, wouldn't she have been able to stop the damage?I suppose so...
She was purchasing them from a dealer in ilicit narcotics. A person who will sell to others unless you stop him.Who is it?
Unknown.Where do I start?
The men's bathroom in Ballroom C.
<Opens the door to the Ballroom C Bathrooms>
Ye Gods... The stench in here could gag a maggot.
Ring, What am I looking for?
UNKNOWN. THIS SMELL WAS DETECTED ON THE LAST CIGARETTE PACK PAGAN LASS OPENED BEFORE HER DEATH.
Ring, scan this room and the adjoining Ladies Bathroom for DNA Traces... I want a list of every sentient who was in either room within six hours of the last time Pagan Lass was in either room.
QUERY: WHY SIX HOURS?
Pagan ran out of cigarettes here at the convention center on the night of the Prom. There was a window of about six hours where she never left the convention center but she somehow came up with another pack... She got them here, in this room. the question is.. from who?
WORKING: 137 DIFFERENT MALE DNA SIGNATURES SHOW UP IN THIS ROOM DURING THE REQUESTED TIME PERIOD. 207 DIFFERENT FEMALE DNA SIGNATURES SHOW UP IN THE LADIES BATHROOM DURING THE SAME TIME PERIOD. 5 FEMALE DNA SIGNATURES SHOW IN THE MENS BATHROOM AND 3 MALE DNA SIGNATURES SHOW IN THE WOMEN'S BATHROOM.
Give me the names of the ones crossing over...
BONITA, EVERYDAY GIRL, PAGAN LASS, HOT CHICK, GLADYS, COBALT KID, SAM PUREHEART, AND CHIEF TAYLOR.
Not what I was expecting, Ring... Nobody else out of place?
NO.
Okay, then I guess I start by talking to them.
