open starter! located at the sweethearts dance, near the dance floor.

it was still early enough in the evening that the dance floor was pretty vacant. no one wanted to be one of the first one to get the party started... except for jordan (and she assumed georgia) of course!

it would mean that just about every unoccupied eye in the room would be on them, but she didn't mind that. as long as they were having fun. they needed that, even if the effect was only temporary.

she approached her closest friend, her hand outstretched to them before she even reached them. "please, tell me you'll dance with me?" she practically begged, then corrected herself with a slight curtsy. "i mean, may i please have this dance?"

closed starter for @loverzhq, located near beautiful bites.

sarah had been observing the meals that were being served to others, a curious eyebrow raised as she did. the portions were small, and served decoratively. she knew without asking that their cost was inflated. she was sure they were delicious and worth every penny, of course. and yet, she certainly couldn't afford to eat enough of them to be satiated.

"i'm glad i decided to eat before i got here." she mused to liza, curious as to if she shared the same sentiment. "i'd be bankrupt if i hadn't."

closed starter for @antdesilvs, located near the 'greetings lovers' entryway.

sarah had been unsure of which dress to wear, but it was anthony who convinced her that her white dress with purple floral patterns adorning it was the right choice.

she'd entered the dance alone. she assured amara that she'd 'point and instruct' a friend to come to the event with her, but it seemed that all her friends were already planning to attend with someone else. it didn't help that she didn't actually have that many friends.

one person she had considered asking was ant himself, but once she knew he had plans already, she didn't bother asking. ironically, he was attending with another friend she would'n't've considered asking. despite this meaning that she had no one left to ask (other than the person she had really wanted to attend with, who also had a date), she was happy that they had found one another.

sarah caught sight of ant, and reached for his elbow to get his attention. "red looks phenomenal on you, ant. i told you you were a total catch!" she cooed, leaning close to him so that he could hear her over the cacophony of music and chatter around them. "are you glad you came after all?"

closed starter for @knewitalls, located in the love letter lounge.

sarah had expected there was a possibility she'd find william in the love letter lounge. she could only assume it was the best place for someone with a head injury to rest. she sat down on a lounge chair near him. there was a beanbag chair closer, but she wasn't confident in how well it and her dress would mix.

"hey," she greeted him, her voice low in case he had a headache. "you need anything? ibuprofen or a drink?" she offered, despite knowing that he and georgia had come together and there was no way she had left him before asking the very same question. "you look great, by the way."
