Who: Your Host, The Guests, & St. Cupid
When: After Sirens. 9PM and onward~
Where: The Grey Line, Reserved Dining Hall & Grand Ballroom
Summary: XEMC/AGI Valentine's Day couples' party, fun, dance, etc. for your enjoyment! Dine, romance, and dance the night away. Be warned though, not everything is as it seems. <3
Warnings: Put them in the tag line, ladies and gentlemen~ (Note: The chocolate, wine, and some of the desserts are laced with aphrodisiacs, but ultimately the potency/effects shall be left up to the discretion of the player.)

There's a ladylove or beau in your life you are aiming to please; You seek to prove your love, obtain their affections, or have them swooning off their feet by the end of the night. Or perhaps your intentions are less than pure…Either way, you know this, of course, because you've chosen to bring them here. The Grey Line is an elegant restaurant whose very atmosphere is a recipe for romance, and tonight, everything your special someone needs to have an evening solely dedicated to passionate desire between the two of you will be provided for, to enjoy at your leisure.

Tonight is going to be perfect. Tonight is special.

Let the siren's song of love overwhelm you as you enter; open the doors, and walk inside.

The staff will greet you as an old friend, and take your coats, their friendly smiles a gentle contrast to the elegant decor around them. There's a feeling of euphoria which flows gently through the air, basking all those who attend.

And why shouldn't there be? The very design of the Grey Line is a masterful one, the modernity and sleekness lending to its natural beauty, played up by the fact that the structure of the restaurant itself is set into a shallow bay, with wall to wall glass windows in the main dining room which allow for the majesty of the ocean to be seen with the coming of the tides. By night, underwater lighting installed in the rocks outside attract a strange array of monstrous sea creatures.

You'll be lead back into the grand ballroom and placed at a table of your choice, a live company of instrumentals set back on a higher tier in front which overlooks the dining area.

The colors from the City bleed from the sea with the tide sweeping up the sides of the glass, bleaching it a deep aqua color.

Quiet awe overwhelms you as the soft illumination descends and caresses the faces everyone inside, giving them a soft, gentle look that adds to the undercurrent of tranquil calm.

Now, you're ready. Seated, you can observe who else is here with you, or bask in the ambience of your surroundings. Baskets of wine and chocolates are set at each table, along with a centerpiece of roses.

"Anything that you desire on the menu, sir, madam? Please, order anything you like. Compliments of your host."

[Francis is dressed to the nines; instead of a traditional black-and-white tux, he's opted for a dark gray tux, with a white shirt, and underneath a pink vest. The tie itself is the same pink, though instead of the patterned texture the vest has, it's smooth pink silk, with thin, diagonal gray stripes to match. Only Francis would be able to wear pink and somehow miraculously get away with it.

He'll be seen in the company of mostly two people tonight, one male and one female - the first a young girl that he seems to have brought as his "date", the other one of the Xino E. Mao staff who just happens to sport a mullet. Whatever the case, when he's not around those two, he'll be more than happy to chat it up.]

[Lee Chaolan thought twice about coming to the event. But as curiosity and the chance to mingle got the better of him, he went anyway. Surprisingly, despite his connection to SERO, no one really bothered to bar him from the gathering.

Tonight, he's also dressed to the nines, also in more unusual colors. His coat is a deep plum that was almost black, while he wore an ebony bowtie and vest to subtly contrast with the jacket. He approaches the dapperly dressed man.]

Looks like I'm not the only one with an interesting sense of fashion.

[Francis gives a bit of a smirk at the wording.]

Interesting? I think you mean, we are two of the best-dressed here.

[He extends his hand, having only spoken to him once before.] It is good to see you again, monsieur Chaolan.

[And Lee gives Francis' hand a firm shake.]

A pleasure to see you again as well. Mr. Bonnefoy, yes?

Very good, you remembered. [A teasing smile.] It has been a long while since we last spoke.

Do you remember when was the last? I'm afraid my memory has been mostly preoccupied with business as of late. I'm sorry.

[Francis is in pink, Joan is in a very simple blue ensemble (minus the masque, of course). She's never been one for too much decoration and this seemed the perfect balance.

She's not completely ill at ease at the formal occasion. The Expo was always a lively event and she was quite used to the chaos of that.]

[Francis thought she looked quite lovely in it, though he had wished he'd matched a little better with her. Even though it didn't really matter, he still wanted to make it as nice as he could.

Once they had set their coats and her purse in the coat check, he gave her a gentle smile.]

What would you like to do first, Jeanne? Get some refreshments, mingle, perhaps dance? [He intends to get at least one dance out of you, dear.]

[Her brows rose a bit at the question.]

Dance?

[Well, she did know you did such at these sorts of parties. The Expo was her only true experience with these types of crowds and there was nothing of dancing at that.]

[He lets out a bit of a laugh at her surprise.]

Oui, a dance. If you do not wish to, I understand... but might I ask for just one, before the night is through? I must admit, I've missed dancing, very much.

[France smiles at her, trying to get her to give in. Who could resist this cute face?]

Oh.

[Her first response is still just a touch surprised.]

Forgive me, I realized there would be dancing but I never considered it.

[You know, in the wee bit she knew about this party before it happened.]

I'm afraid dance was never one of the subjects taught to me. Beyond French folk dances of the period.
