Salem High Masquerade ANNOUNCEMENT!

Hi! So many of you have heard planning for the Salem High dance coming up and this is the official announcement that it’s going to be starting sometime within the next two weeks!

So, a little bit of info on the thread:

- It will have no posting order, so whenever you have anything to reply to, feel free to just get a reply in! This is so that the thread stays active.

- Since there is no order, if you do find you are busy and didn’t get to roleplay within a certain interval that you were really looking forward to, you are more than welcome to post a thread in here in which you can roleplay out that interaction at whatever pace you desire, while others can move forward with the plot in the big thread.

- Every four ish weeks (depending, perhaps less or more time, I will judge based on activity level and what stage of rp everyone is at) there will be a ‘staff post’ indicating the next interval of the dance. This is mainly to ensure we all get to each gemstone dance at the same time. Any other dances besides the gemstones dances can happen whenever. The intervals will be as following:

1. Introductions/arrivals/first dances/lull period
2. First gemstone dance / lull period
3. Second gemstone dance / lull period
4. Third gemstone dance / lull period
5. Final dance and exits

During the final dances, students are encouraged to dance with their favorite gemstone partner and reveal their identity to them. Of course, this is only recommended and does not have to happen and some students find it stupid/cheesy. Implications behind the dances don't have to be romantic -- it's also an opportunity for friendships to happen -- but in many cases they are slow dances, and come off as romantic.




The ‘gemstone dances’ are the random paired dances! At the beginning upon walking in, all students are given three fake gemstones: a diamond, a sapphire, and a emerald. Each of the gems are cut into varying shapes with only one match. For the dances, students are encouraged to find the person who’s gem matches theirs in terms of shape, and then they get to share a dance with someone who they (hopefully) don’t know!

Because the theme of the masquerade is the gemstone dance randomizing, students are not encouraged to bring dates. However, of course some students choose to have dates and not participate in the gemstone dances. Though all students are encouraged to take a stone, not all have to participate in the randomized dances. Students can choose not to dance with their random partner. Partners are not divided by gender, so it’s likely ships of any variation that will be paired. Some partner requests will be honored! There will be three dances, so three different opportunities for interaction.

Here is the list of the gemstone dances (or where it will go, LOL). Beside each pair listed will be the shape of their stone.

Lol here's that thread guys

Please reply to this thread with a list of all participating Salem High students! Once all are added the list of students will be shuffled and posted here. We will do our best to have as few self-ships as possible unless otherwise requested.
