one thing's universal, life's no dress rehearsal
[Prom night! The greatest night of your young lives if you watch any Western high school media from the past 60 years. The looks, the music, the copious amounts of fancy snacks, the sore feet from dancing heels and then spending the rest of the night in bare feet- it’s all part of the bigger package.
The courtyard and the roof have both been decked out in a special way for tonight, despite no one really seeing Hester or anyone/anything else decorating. There are round tables set-up in both places, covered in yellow-gold tablecloths. Some of them have platters of snacks laid out on them, one has a large punch bowl that never seems to empty no matter how many drinks are taken from it.
On the roof there’s an extra table with pencils, small slips of paper, a box wrapped in gold wrapping paper and a notecard labeled Song Requests. Just write a song, pop it in the box and within a few minutes it starts playing! Weird, there doesn’t seem to be a sound system anywhere...
Red paper lanterns have been strung around the outline of the roof and between stakes in the courtyard, granting soft romantic light for a night to remember. Put on your best costume shop formal wear, get ready to lose your shoes after an hour and sneak in liquor even though most of you are of age.
After all…tonight belongs to you.]

It's probably one of the only ones I am familiar with.

See? You're getting it.
[She starts to hum a little under her breath, despite the difference in song. It helps her focus, a song in her ears and a song in her head.]

[And we're going to transition into a slow, slightly awkward twirl.]

[ Twirl!! Okay, twirl is happening!! Peregrine is so not used to those, and she stumbles a little, but! It goes okay! She doesn't fall! ]

I've been told I can be very hard to read sometimes. [A pause.] It also usually comes with being told I'm annoying though.
no subject
Well. Fuck 'em. [ A beat. ] What do they know?

Ohh, Hester, I had no idea you used that kind of language!
no subject
What can I say? You've all been terrible influences on me.
no subject
Yeah... That sounds like us. [ ... ] But you come out and socialize more than you used to, so... How bad could we really be?
