If you've somehow missed the flyers, prom season is officially upon us and nominations for prom court are now open. We're also introducing a new competition series to nab a pair of crowns in a more unorthodox manner, but still very much in the spirit of Gooseberry. You can find more information for both posted in the lodge, but I'm always available for questions as well.

Additionally, a belated thank you to everyone who came out for Muddy Twister. I hope to hear we've begun a new Gooseberry tradition next year.

And we're off. We've got two months left to make this dance happen. I've some ideas for potentially expanding on the heist idea for full blown prom, but now's the time to start putting forth any serious ideas for discussion and consideration. If there's any other topics you'd like to discuss, please don't hesitate to bring them up.

I'm going to stuff the nominations box with your name and there's nothing you can do to stop me.

Not asking nicely?

How nicely?

Very?

For a very nicely, I could probably tear up one of these.

Just one? Man. How many are there?

It's a large box. I'm going to add "exceedingly humble" to this list, right after "devastatingly handsome".

You're only supposed to put one in per person. I read the rules.

Lecture me some more about the rules and I could tear up a few more of these.

One point off for every nomination?

Now you've got me. I love it when you take points, but I also want Ribbonfin to win the cup. Perhaps I can wheedle this stack down to five? It wouldn't be the worst points I've lost.

I'm not going to actually take points. I'd have to take points from myself for extraneous point-taking, and that'd get excessive. Please don't nominate me.

Someday you'll actually take points from me. But fine, consider them all torn up. I'd rather steal a crown with you anyway.

I'm still nominating you, for what it's worth.
I'll turn to a life of crime, temporarily.

Then it's only fair I get to put your name in one time, so I can subject all the teachers to my embarrassing gushing.
Get a taste and you may never recover.

I have a couple theme ideas, but I wanna hear your heist idea first!

I'm afraid I can't get too detailed at this point without spoiling the first round of our prom court heist, but I do think last year's prom was done exceedingly well and I'd like to take cues from it, especially in terms of having an elaborate game afoot.

What ideas do you have?

I was thinking 1920's, but that's because I'm gonna wear a flapper dress no matter what the theme ends up being.

I was leaning towards an ambiguous glitzy Golden Age as a general backdrop, so I don't think flapper dresses would be out of place. The general working theme idea is Casino Caper, though I'm sure I'd have to work with staff to come to some compromise on the whole promotion of gambling aspect.
