For guys it's usually suits, but you should go with whatever suits your style, I think.

[ wow he is so into this that's so nice ]

[At least someone can be out here appreciating all the hard(??) work(???) that the dorm heads are clearly putting into this dance...]

I've never worn a suit before. They don't look very comfortable, to be honest... [Says Sakyou who's constantly wearing like 500 flowy layers of robes.]

[ she looks over at his outfit, thoughtful. ]

What would you normally wear to something like that?

I haven't attended any sort of formal event in quite some time... I believe the common dress is quite different from what it is here, too. Where I come from, there aren't really anything like dances, and formalwear is a bit of a nuisance... Much of it involves many layers of very heavy silks.

[Absolutely exhausting, imagine having to run from chickens with arms in that.]

[ STOP

she nods her head though... ]


Silks... it sounds like it would at least be pretty to see.

[cant believe yall would do this to us. you specifically. your chicken arms chaos.

He nods at that, though! And then sighs...]


They're very nice to look at, but hot and heavy. I don't know how these events go, but formal events often last for hours and take place outdoors in my home. One could veritably roast...

Oh... well, some take place outside, but this one is just going to be in the gym.

[ like a real high school dance ]
modissty: (at the dining table)

[personal profile] modissty 2021-06-24 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sakyou is truly going to be wowed when he sees what the actual dance looks like considering his mental image of "formal event in the gym" is not very merciful.]

I see... It does provide ample room, I suppose.

It'll be exciting! You should take someone as a date.

[ i don't think anyone took someone as a date ]

[this game is full of christians.]

What would that entail? I'm unfamiliar with the custom, but it seems well-discussed among those planning to attend.

Oh, you just like... go together. And typically spend most of the time there with each other.
modissty: (makin everyone pretty)

[personal profile] modissty 2021-06-25 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Thinking about this group.

Thinking about how most of them would probably end up killing each other if they had to spend a whole night together.]


I see. I think it's somewhat similar to certain banquets I've heard of... Is it customary for one to attend with this date, then?

[personal profile] departea 2021-06-25 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, pretty much. Asking someone to go with you is a huge part of the process!

... but it's fine to just go with friends or alone.
modissty: (gentle judgment)

[personal profile] modissty 2021-06-26 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
It sounds a little less stressful to just do the latter, to be honest...

[He will double down on this opinion after the mini Claude army attacks.]

Oh, definitely. Many hearts have been absolutely crushed and completely embarrassed by rejections as well. It's brutal out there.
