Summary; Glinda decides that what the City needs is a good end-of-the-year gala.
Log;

It was almost 8 o'clock and everything had been set up.

Rangiku and Hotaru had strung up red, white, and silver streamers everywhere and several buffet tables were scattered throughout the area. Someone had suggested the hanging of mistletoe. Glinda didn’t know what its purpose was, but it was so pretty, so she had Rangiku add a few sprigs here and there.

Glinda had already briefed those who had volunteered to act as security. They were to enjoy the party, of course, but if they saw anyone causing trouble, it was up to them to handle it. The fireworks team had brought a lot of pyrotechnics. Glinda prayed they knew what they were doing. And Tayuya was off to the side, warming up.

Glinda had been shocked to see the young girl show up at all, let alone in a dress. As she had promised Glinda, the dress wasn't at all obscene. Glinda smoothed a non-existent wrinkle from her own dress and put a hand to her heart. She was nervous, but tried to reassure herself that everything would be perfect.

She checked the time. 8 o'clock. Time for everyone to arrive...



After the fireworks and before the final dance, Glinda stands on a platform at the front of the crowd. Using a holographic projector set up by Cobray, she makes an announcement to the crowd...

Fellow Citizens... I wanted to thank you all for being here. This has been one of the best nights of my life, and I hope each of you can say the same. It was a lot of work to plan this, but I can't take all the credit. This place is so beautiful thanks to Rangiku and Hotaru. Thank you to Sanji and everyone else who worked so hard on the buffet. I'm sure everyone agrees it was all delicious! To my security team, you did wonderfully. Everything went off without a hitch, thanks to you. Shizune, the gift exchange was wonderfully done. Tayuya, the music was beautiful, and so are you. It warms my heart to see you dressed like a lady. And it's nice to see you use that flute for something other than making threats. Thanks also to the pyrotechnics team. I'm glad you knew what you were doing. If I forgot anyone, I'm sorry. But know I'm grateful for all you've done!

Well, the hour is late, and we only have time for one last dance. But though this is the end of the night, don’t think this is the end of the holiday festivities. Motoko and I have a concert in the works for later this month. Anyone who would like to audition should see Motoko or myself to sign up. Tayuya, if you will...



{ooc: Log is open, everyone GO!~ I hope you all fun. My thanks go out to Shizune-mun for coming up with the gift exchange, as well as setting it up. ♥ to you!

A note; Glinda's announcement comes just after the fireworks and just before the final dance... so sometime after midnight. Reference to it whenever you want. Thanks to Cobray-mun for that idea. Also, it is not necessary to interact in this thread. Start your own in your journals, just like with the snowball fight if you’d like. Also, it is also not necessary to interact with Glinda if you don’t want to. However, if you do want to, this is the best place, as I won’t be starting my own thread in her journal.

I can't guarantee I'll be home all day. Today is the school band concert and I promised a friend I’d go. But, if anyone needs me, my AIM is christinemasque and my email is phantom.masque98@gmail.com . I believe I might be able to answer email through my cell phone, so if it's urgent, that's the best way to reach me. But, I don't think any problems should arise. *crosses fingers* See you all at the party!~

Oh, and there will be more info on the aforementioned concert later in Poly-Extra}

Aizen strolled in the door, dressed to the nines as usual. A stylish, long sleeve white shirt and pants, with a red crevatte, adorned his body.

"Hm...I suppose this is acceptable."

[10thdiv-haineko.livejournal.com]

Rangiku happened to overhear his comment from her spot half hidden along a side wall. She pushed away from the wall and made her way to stand behind him, the heavy silk of the kimono rustling quietly as she stopped moving. A fan poked him in the back.

"Better be. I worked hard to decorate the place."

[good-and-proper.livejournal.com]

"Ah. Greetings. I see most of the city has gathered. I've never visited the temple."

[10thdiv-haineko.livejournal.com]

Slim arms crossed over her for once covered chest. "You should've. It's beautiful, and the hot springs here are quite nice." Blue eyes crinkled a little as she smiled.

"Gotta say, you look nice."

[good-and-proper.livejournal.com]

"It's just a small change from the uniform at our dinner, from what I can remember."

He scanned the room quickly.

"Are all of the shinigami gathered at this event?"

[10thdiv-haineko.livejournal.com]

"I thought you looked nice then, too." She looked around, eyes scanning the area. "No... at least, not yet. You're not plotting something, are you?"

Yes, it was suspicious.

[good-and-proper.livejournal.com]

"No, but I'm not certain they won't. There are far too many energies clashing here. It seems very unstable."

He placed his fingers under his chin and looked her over.

"You look...quite fetching."

[10thdiv-haineko.livejournal.com]

Her lips curled down into a frown. "There's security in place. Nothing will happen." If she was trying to convince him or herself, she wasn't sure.

The compliment brought a light flush to her cheeks, but she shrugged a little and slipped her fan back into the sleeve she'd been carrying it in all evening.

"Thank you."

[good-and-proper.livejournal.com]

"Is Hinamori here as well?"

[10thdiv-haineko.livejournal.com]

"I saw her pass by me a few moments ago... planning on going to say hello to everyone?"

[good-and-proper.livejournal.com]

"I think I'll avoid her if I do. Wouldn't want to create to much of a socially awkward situation."

"I also believe it is about time I broke of my business partnership with Orochimaru."

[10thdiv-haineko.livejournal.com]

She wasn't shocked to hear him speak about his 'business partnership', but she still felt a cold chill slide down her back at the mention. "Well, I knew you two were playing together." Cold eyes stared at Aizen.

"Were you there when he had me?"

[good-and-proper.livejournal.com]

"No. Much like when you died the first time, I had no hand in it. I know all I need to about shinigami, kidnapping one would have served no purpose."

He noticed her glare and ignored it.

"Why do you ask?"

[10thdiv-haineko.livejournal.com]

"I didn't ask if you did it. I asked if you were there at any time that he had me."

[good-and-proper.livejournal.com]

"No."

[10thdiv-haineko.livejournal.com]

She didn't know if it was relief or dismay that washed over her. She'd wanted a reason to hate him even more than before, but he hadn't given her that reason.

Oh, well.

Polite smile back in place, she bowed her head to him.


"Well then. I hope you enjoy yourself tonight. If you need anything, please let one of us know."

[good-and-proper.livejournal.com]

"I can take care of it myself, most likely."

[eyezen-sama.livejournal.com]

Stepping in, eyes scanning the floor for his research associate, Uliquorra was startled to see Aizen-sama near the door. Blinking, he approached quietly before bowing deeply.

"Aizen-sama."
