This is probably going to sound ignorant to all of you, but what's prom? I figured I'd ask where somebody who knows for sure could tell me, but I feel like I'm in the dark on all this.

[He gestures with an open palm as he continues to explain what he knows.]

What I've gathered is that it's some sort of event that follows graduation, so I'm thinking it's a tournament of some kind where you pick a sparring partner. If anyone's still looking for someone, I'd be up for it. Just tell me what I need to know.

[AND THERE'S HIS PITCH. HIS ILL-INFORMED PITCH. Somebody help this poor young man.]

..."Drinks the punch?"

[forgetbeam]

There was an incredible amount of alcohol in it last year! On school grounds, being served to minors!

[welikeike]

Maybe I wasn't clear. Is punch suddenly a drink? Is that what you're saying?

[forgetbeam]

That's right! There is a sickeningly sweet drink called punch, despite the connotations of the word... Maybe it was chosen because of the violent nature of a prom here after all?

[THIS IS SUCH A CLUSTERFUCK.]

[welikeike]

I still don't see what the problem here is.

[Somebody doesn't know the drinking age law. He also assumes that punch is supposed to have alcohol in it.]

If you don't want to drink alcohol, why drink the punch if you know what's in it?

[forgetbeam]

There are so many problems! To start with, it wasn't supposed to have any alcohol in it. Somebody snuck it in! Furthermore, not only is alcohol prohibited on school grounds - [NOT THAT ANYONE CARES] - but most of the students are under the legal drinking age!

[welikeike]

Oh. I didn't know.

[Didn't know ANY of those things.]

This must be some kind of juvenile prank. So the best thing to do is to make sure nobody dumps a bottle of alcohol in there? If this is such a problem, then why doesn't the school...

[Ike stops right there. He knows the answer. Smash Academy is generally awful at enforcing its rules and preventing chaos.]

Never mind. At least I know better than to try punch now.
