Needless to say, it’s been a bit of a rocky year at the prestigious U.A. High School. Worried for the spirits of the students as the holidays approach, All Might puts forth a proposal to the principal and faculty for a particular event he believes the students will immensely enjoy taking part in. It’s a more Western tradition typical of American high schools, but given U.A.’s international prominence and community, All Might sees no harm in borrowing from such a concept — aka, hosting a winter formal!
The proposal is initially met with some pushback ( i.e., not wanting to throw a party for the sake of a party, having to allocate budget, safety concerns ) before negotiations pull through, allowing the event to gain approval.
And so, just before they break for the holidays, U.A. will hold its very first high school dance for all classes and levels. On the surface, it’s announced as a ( mandatory ) opportunity to network with other students as well as other pro-heroes who will be in attendance and practice for formal / charity events that pros working in the hero industry are often invited to / are expected to attend. In other words, it’s an event and quasi-assignment where the students will be “graded” on behavior — but it’s a very fun “assignment” nonetheless!
Proceeds from ticket sales / donations will be donated to a charity dedicated to helping heroes with severe PTSD.
Leading up to the formal, students are encouraged ( i.e., will get extra credit ! ) to join one of six committees dedicated to getting the formal set up ( with each committee lead by a member of U.A.’s management/business department. )
The six committees are as followed:
Marketing/Publicity Committee: Their job is to inform as many people about as many things concerning the winter formal as possible. This includes information for a website sent to the public about the events leading to the event and publicity about the fundraising component.
Ticket Committee: Their job is to choose the actual info that will be printed on the ticket, along with setting up a schedule to sell tickets and keeping track of all ticket sales.
Decoration Committee: They’re in charge of the site decorations and clean-up after the event — probably the biggest task of all! The official theme for the formal is “Winter Wonderland” — a beloved classic.
Entertainment Committee: They’re responsible for booking the DJ or hiring a band to play at the winter formal, as well as find and book professional photographers to take photos during the event.
Security Committee: They’re responsible for laying down the groundwork and setting up the logistics needed to make certain the winter formal is both a fun, and more importantly, safe event for all! This committee works very closely with U.A. faculty to achieve that purpose.
Menu Committee: They work with a catering company to develop a specialized menu for the event.
Let the party planning, date-asking and outfit-deciding begin!
The actual event will take place throughout the weekend of December 15 through 17 ( so Friday, Saturday and Sunday specifically dedicated to roleplaying this event, although you’re obviously free to continue RP relating to it thereafter! )
VERY IMPORTANT: The event hashtag to track and use in regards to any and all RP relating to the event: #UAWinterBall — there will be a few mini-events leading up to the ball that you’ll definitely won’t want to miss out on! Otherwise, feel free to writer starters/respond to starters within the hashtag to get the activity rolling!
This is a BNHA RPC wide event — meaning everyone is invited to participate ( OCs, blogs with BNHA verses, “doubles,” the whole shebang ! ) While this is a U.A. school-oriented event, if villains want to sneak in and mingle ( peacefully ) for whatever reason, go for it. That said, BE NICE, OOC and IC. This is supposed to be fun and chill. You be fun and chill, or else :/
Any and all questions, concerns and suggestions can be sent to me, @heromight !
