[She really shouldn't be here, she knows. This week has been long and tiring, and the last thing she really should be doing is going to a big party like this. But, truth be told, she knows she'll feel better if she gets out and socializes, if she just continues to life. Wallowing in pity and grief won't do anything for her. She just has to do her best to have a good time tonight.

She's a little sad that Lucifer isn't here. She would have enjoyed his company tonight. It was only a year ago that he invited her to the Lux he first had, and she's sure he'd have a pearl of wisdom or two for her now that Edgeworth's gone. She'll just have to go without the Devil this time.

She's wearing a simple dress, her hair is tied back, and she has an intricately woven mask to top it all off. And the costume part? She has her black wings out, pressed against her back to keep people from bumping into them, but they can easily pass for interesting accessories. No one has to know they're real. She doubts anyone will suspect, anyway, unless they know her very well.

So, for now, she stands off to the side with a drink, giving a mild wave to a few people she sees and recognizes.]

hope this is okay! and FINALLY I have a legit reason to use this icon.

[axemeaquestion]

[And guess who was giving you a little wave back?

As soon as Rochelle spotted a familiar friend she walked right up to her, drink in hand was well. Her actual Halloween costume she decided to save for a few more days. It was Halloween enough, but it felt a little too cheesy for something like this. ... As creeped out as she slightly was. The dresses she already owned didn't exactly scream "masquerade", but she managed to pick something out a little more fitting with a mask to go with it. Nevertheless she could tell Re-l did a better job than she did, and those accesories were pretty interesting.]

He-llo.

absolutely! <3

[She glances over when Rochelle approaches, offering her a smile. The other woman is dressed beautifully, in total honesty. She gives her an approving look.]

Hi. You look amazing, Rochelle.

cool!

[axemeaquestion]

[Rochelle downs her drink and brights at the compliment.]

Seriously? [In all honesty she was flattered. She didn't lack the confidence but pulling off the old fashioned kind of elegance was new for her. It showed in a smile and a laugh.] Thanks. I actually wasn't sure if it was 'masquerade' enough, but... hah. I say you pull it off better, though.

[Leaning a bit she notes the wings with a nod.] So that's your costume?

[Meant in a way that Ro was wondering if Re-l had set an entirely different costume just for the occasion.]

[proxysearch]

Yeah. It's really nice.

[She smiles a little and looks down at her own dress.]

I'm not one to usually dress up, but I figured I'd do something nice tonight. I knew the old owner. [You know. The Devil.] But thanks. That's nice of you to say.

[Re-l shrugs.]

Just something that went together. Yours?

[axemeaquestion]

Aw, that's sweet. Back at you.

[She eyes down Re-l's dress herself.] I noticed that about you. You should do it more often, you're lookin' good.

Me? [Ro shrugged back.] I figured my Halloween costume was a little too not masquerade, same with the dresses I already own. I'm suprised I even managed to find something this nice with the money I got now.

[proxysearch]

Maybe. I find I don't have a lot of time to actually divulge in stuff like this.

[She never really wanted the princess routine back home, anyway.]

I still think it looks nice. Classy, even. Anyone ask you to dance yet?

[axemeaquestion]

Maybe you could wear the mask to the station more, I dunno.

[Bad joke, and she knew it. She shook her head.]

Not yet. I thought Nick would wanna come, but...

[proxysearch]

Ha, maybe. I don't think that'd work too well, though.

[She pauses.]

Not his scene, huh?

[axemeaquestion]

[Rochelle shrugged.]

The fancy shit usually is.

[proxysearch]

[She nods.]

Usually.

[She glances around.]

So, has anyone tried to get you to dance yet?

[axemeaquestion]

Usually.

Eugh. Not yet. I wouldn't mind it, I'm all for dancing.

[proxysearch]

[She looks around. No one really seems to be asking many people.]

Might need to take the initiative.

[axemeaquestion]

[Rochelle paused before taking to look at what Re-l was looking at. Then she realized what she meant, and made a face.]

Eugh. Looks like it. Probably the only way this place is really gonna liven up too.

[proxysearch]

Unfortunately.

[She sighs and holds up her hands.]

Men just don't seem to be capable of doing anything on their own or taking initiative.

[axemeaquestion]

You said, girl. [She smirked.] Kinda helps when we kick their asses into the right direction.
