Description
Since Aevie doesn't really like to do typical party activities (like drinking ), I had hard time to come up with something to keep him entertained at the prom ball... Thankfully Alwen likes to play the go game too.

Alwen likes it when his opponents underestimate him , sadly that won't be easy with Aevie. He's a humble person. There's plenty Aevie and Al have in common, I think. Like their numerous secrets and being good actors with kind smiles sticked to their faces, most of times even true. And there's plenty they would disagree about just as well. Like approach to war and peace, or to grudge and forgiveness . I imagine Al's playing style would be pretty daring and unconventional, while Aevie's style would be more defensive and solid. Who will win? No idea. They are probably both insanely good in this game though, so I wish I could watch.

Now some ranting about my choices for the Prom Court.
Alwen became my Prom King for saving Aevie from boredom those very simple, yet unobvious reasons mentioned above and because MegaMaeve is an awesome human being whose presence made OC-Training better experience for everyone, not only for me. Also I believe Al deserves a bit of chill and appreciation for the sake of everyone's safety. And I'm having a crush on his special, inviting but dangerous smile.
My Prom Queen is Ksenia, because I simply love how this character escapes stereotypes with her religiousness and affinity for science at the same time. Aevie wouldn't think twice before giving the crown to a fellow physicist. While the physics of their worlds may slightly vary, I bet he would be delighted to exchange thoughts with a young enthusiastic future scientist and philosopher. Also because I'm kinda heartbroken to see Akaszik , the spiritus movens of this project leaving her Founder position because of life reasons. If you appreciate the OC-training project, she's the person you need to say your thanks to. She is the initiator, kept us all together for 3 years, giving birth to two wonderful children on the way and still managing to run this project THIS AWESOME. I knew Ksenia would be my Queen anyway, but now it feels somewhat more nostalgic. (Really. I'm sentimental af.)
I also crowned Winona Prom Princess because I have an utter weakness for such strong, tomboyish archer girl characters. Aevie would agree because she would kinda remind him of Isil in many ways. And he can relate to Thayuni people about very long lifespan. I admired learning about Winona as well as WolfChiefsDaughters ' interest in Aevie and many other characters participating in this round.
And Mamoru is the Prom Prince because I see a lot of relatability with Aevie in his struggle with the years, reliving memories, losing many close people, and overall being a nice, humble, shy guy with superpowers who suffered because of these superpowers way more than he deserved to. But hey, "I am what I lost", as it goes in Riverside song. And because Zakuro-Kona 's input in this project is absolutely irreplaceable. And because she's an awesome person and awesome author as well.

I wish I could draw (and crown) more characters than that (and appreciate this way more awesome people who make this group alive), but the go game requires a little focus and even such strong and composed (on the outside) players as Al and Aevie could finally lose their patience with such a crowd. I wouldn't want them BOTH angry on the prom party. They are pretty scary on their own when angry (I know, poor excuse for not fitting more characters. In the beginning there was supposed to be just 5 characters, but I realized if I'm going to try and fit everyone I would fail like I did with prom task last round... and the round before that. I'm still working on those, in fact. But this time I didn't want to bite off more than I could chew )

Remaining characters who stopped to watch the game, from right to left:
Tonii / Elwyn from InkPawStudio777
Jo from snakes-on-a-plane
Rose from sorceress21
Karil from Kitanokata
Belthrein from RitellianCaptain
Trowan from StoryMaker91
Clara from Birdhousebirdy
Draymond from LadyLing
Bosemann from ProbablyImpossible

Hope I did justice to all the characters I'm sorry for the stupid things they say. I just had to in order to help me focus. I'm having hard time focusing on such big groups of other people's characters because I worry too much if I picture them properly, which is part of why I usually fail to finish those Prom pictures.

TRIVIA
- the crowns are awful, I can't draw proper crowns, but aren't they always awful anyway in fact (here's a version without crowns and the stupid things they say so that you can have a souvenir without them spoiling the picture)
- Rose didn't have a dress so Aevie's tailor made her one, hope she likes it, I think she looks kinda hot
- I also made Aevie take Mamoru to his tailor too to get him at least a proper shirt, (look at you Aevie, playing (grand)dad to all the dadless kids around, you won't deceive your fatherly instincts)
- all kids like games, and I imagine Karil would be bored with adults drinking, so he would stick around the board and maybe try the game himself
- I heard Tonii likes to kick guys at chess
- Jo strikes me as a SJW and I love that since I'm often a SJW myself
- I noticed a pattern in Liza overusing "So,", sorry, I'm terrible, I do it myself too
- Bosemann is certainly wondering how to teach this game to Glorbs to make them anything more useful (look at his noble Aryan profile, he's evil but at least handsome)
- I imagine no one really wants to sit too close to Aevie after you saw his Fear and Anger task, but I guess at least Clara doesn't mind a good tinkerer around (yeah, I still fight with those high-tech environments)

Oh, and if you're curious of the match presented on the go board, it's the first match of last year's skirmish of Lee Sedol vs AlphaGo. Now you know who is going to win. Yeah, I placed Aevie in the computer's shoes and Alwen in human's on purpose. Sorry Al, Aevie won't be easy on you, you can't beat hundreds of years of experience in playing even with those amazing strategic skills of yours
