The idea of a crowd didn't draw Nill. In fact, it made her a bit uneasy: warm palms and cheeks, too much sensation just about everywhere, heightened awareness of her surroundings. But while she didn't mind being cooped up in a church or an apartment, New Door Era was very different from the place she'd come from. There were less than pleasant people (well, person thus far), but nothing so bad as to warrant her self-imposed house arrest. And Nill was, after all, dreadfully curious as to what exactly a ball was, aside from a round plaything and a word used for cursing (usually in the plural). This seemed to be one of those rare occasions when she could explore her curiosity fully, rather than just let it simmer for fear of the outside.

It was big and there were people on all sides and just when Nill felt too timid to step in, she heard music. Music was lovely: it was dipping and twirling and soothing; it uncurled her fingers, out of the fists that were pressing crescents into her palms, and it made her wings want to flutter under the ( ... )

Amongst the crowd of people is a different guest-a large cat that currently resembles a cheetah to those with such an animal in their homeworlds. Regardless of its form, it wouldn't take much observing of the natives to see that its a pet to the Ice Magister and the High Priestess. And despite its size not at all agressie as its been weaving in and out of people socially looking for attention ( ... )

People moved a bit to the side, parting like long strands of grass. Nill's gaze was drawn downward to that which was politely making its way towards her. She had seen cats before, of course, on stoops and jumping out of dumpsters, but this one was much, much larger. It was also considerably more regal: no scruffy hair or missing bits in its ears, but corded in sinuous muscle, with spots peppering its tawny fur. Its movements were slow and deliberate, and its eyes dark pools that seemed more welcoming than frightening.

With only the slightest hesitation, Nill knelt down to welcome it. She even extended a hand, though she wouldn't touch it unless it wanted to be touched.

absolute_npc January 20 2009, 18:03:59 UTC

With her offering a hand out, the cat would go to press its snout against her hand to initiate a touch and show it wanted to be petted. Really, it was just like a big house cat when it wanted to, and especially now it wanted to be. It wasn't usually allowed into parties like this, so it was having a hard time understand why there were so many people and yet many of them were hanging off to the side by themselves.

Even if it had been to parties before, it wouldn't know any better, but at least it would probably not have been as nosy. Its tail, slightly puffed at the end swung a bit, twitching and moving in nonuniform motions in expression of its inquisitive nature rather than a typical low and deliberate swing to signify annoyance like most cats would.

The concept itself sickened Kadaj. That people were willing to go was even worse. The only reason he was attending was in hopes that somehow it would be a slap in the face to them. If he had to go up to his victims himself and get under their skin, so be it. Souba was left somewhere safe, but that didn't leave him afraid at all.

Tch. PeopleListening to their voices, as they laughed and mingled tentatively was enough for him to want to show them his truth right then and there. It was all an act. He despised acts. Worst part was no matter where he went in the room, there would always be someone there...lurking. Somehow though, the remnant managed to keep all of that distaste off of his face, except maybe the ghost of a smirk. He wouldn't avoid anyone. Tonight, after all, was his chance to disturb them as much as possible, and maybe even start killing them off once everyone's minds were fuzzy with the drinks and relaxed after all the dancing. Reaching for a drink, he curiously sipped it, making a little face before downing ( ... )

Azmaria had taken a small glass of water for herself and a few sugar cookies. Her white hair had been pushed back behind her shoulders so it wouldn't get in the way. Slowly, it would fall back into place like it always did.

At a familiar voice she turned and blinked in surprise. There was the man who had threatened to kill Ritsuka. Although she had still baked the cake for him and delivered it either way. Azmaria didn't like giving up when she had committed to something. Either way, the Apostle smiled slightly at him. "Ah, did you enjoy the cakes...?"

revivingruin January 18 2009, 11:16:54 UTC

"Hm?" Lazily Kadaj spun around, surprised to find someone...he didn't consider an enemy there and talking to him. Yet. Azmaria was a kind that made no sense, so he had chalked it up to her simply being weak. She was fun to disturb, though. And at least she could cook well. That was more to say than many.

"I did," he answered, all feigned smiles that didn't quite reach his eyes. Too confusing, but the cakes had really been good. He wouldn't deny that. "I ate a lot and I'm saving some for later." Looking down at her, he paused and added, "You're looking lovely tonight," Shell pink lips curled up into what was meant to be a sincere expression.

healing_hymn January 18 2009, 16:30:13 UTC

Azmaria nodded, looking pleased. She was glad that Kadaj had liked her cakes. The girl knew that she wasn't a chef but the tricks of the trade she learned were useful. At the compliment she blushed brightly and fidgeted. "A-Ah thank you very much!" Really, she wasnt used to that sort of thing and the sincere look had surprised her.

"And... I'm glad that you liked that cake. If you'd like any more I'd be glad to make it." The blush was still there but lighter now and at least she wasn't pracitcally flailing.

Sasuke walked into the room, just observing. Reno had warned him that there might be a few of the guests that were more unwelcome than others. He had a feeling he knew who Reno was talking about, considering who he always antagonized, but he wasn't making any comments. Reno would have denied anything anyways. It's just how the Turk was.

As much as most of the other people in Nuadoria annoyed him, he wouldn't allow people to piss off the magisters. After everything that had happened while he'd been in Nuadoria, he'd learned not to take chances, even if it was stupid fancy ball that he didn't want to be at.

He crossed his arms, the long sleeves of his kimono folding awkwardly. It was a little more a elaborate than any of his previous outfits. Blue in the celebration of winter. His hair was down for once. It was a drastically different look for him, but he was almost hoping that it was so different, that few would notice.

He continued in, walking close to the wall to avoid as many people as possible.

riotinstereo January 19 2009, 02:39:04 UTC

Reno spotted Sasuke after making his way past the drink table. If he was planning on blending in, he really should have picked something else to wear. The Turk barely kept himself from smirking at how easily the kid had changed his mind; he knew what he'd told him would bring him out. Although he didn't quite expect him to dress for the occasion. Everyone seemed to have jumped on the opportunity to pretend they weren't trapped in some rundown city governed by temperamental pricks who couldn't decide if they wanted to kill them or use them for their own entertainment ( ... )

scales_shed January 21 2009, 05:23:57 UTC

Once Sasuke had gotten a little further into the room, he spotted a couple interesting things. A certain silver haired man who had gotten there only moments before he had. He smirked slightly. Reno would certainly be interested that he had shown up. And while it was weird large cat that was wondering around was oddly familiar. He shook off the familiarity though. There was no way ( ... )

Karako was excited. Sure, she had a gaping wound in the middle of her chest, but it wasn't going to keep her from enjoying herself. She could choke down any major pain, and made sure her blood stayed thick throughout the days already.

Plus, Nagi was with her, and he was wearing a suit.

And they were probably going to dance.

So to hell with the fact that they were, yet again, trapped somewhere. To hell that if she turned too quickly her wound protested and she could barely hide a wince.

A ball was made to be enjoyed, and she would, no matter what.

cicumae January 18 2009, 23:43:42 UTC

And there, of course, was Nagi, obediently trailing behind Karako -- looking around at the ball and looking vaguely stuck somewhere between in awe and confused. Parties, he understood, but grand affairs had never quite been his thing -- especially in DW. (Of course, this suit had been provided thanks to LILITH, but it felt rather odd -- something he was rather unaccustomed to.) So all the glitz and glamor was a sight for sore eyes, one that he observed, bemused -- in between cautious glances at Karako.

She was strong, of course, he knew that for sure. But still, the wound had been considerable. A small, near-silent sigh, as he picked up the pace a bit to step up beside her, giving a small laugh.

"It's certainly a lot fancier than I expected."

bellchain January 18 2009, 23:53:30 UTC

Karako liked the atmosphere, looking around with wide eyes. It was a change from the mood of DW, and she was glad for it. It made it easier for her to keep standing regardless of her wound. She gave Nagi a small grin, hooking her arm around one of his.

"Of course! It's a ball, aren't those supposed to be fancy?" She asked, her fingers going to the bell around her neck subconsciously.

Her eyes moved around the room and fell into the buffet, the plates steaming with warm food.

"Nagi! There's food!" She said, tugging him toward the tables.

cicumae January 19 2009, 00:27:15 UTC

"Mm, I suppose so." And then, before he could entertain that train of thought much longer, there was the arm around his, tugging his forward towards where the buffet was set up. -- which, honestly, sent a wave of relief washing through him, because it was so like her to make a beeline straight for the food.

Laughing, he followed behind her -- he wasn't very hungry, but what did it matter? If this was a party, he certainly wasn't going to keep from letting her enjoy herself. "I guess our hosts thought of all the basics as well as the fancy details."

Nice room. Big, too.

Even in a formal tuxedo, Lavi probably didn't look like the kind of guy who had been to a lot of formal occasions. He probably didn't look like the kind of guy who could blend in, or be comfortable, at them. But even with the eyepatch, even though he really didn't like crowds for a variety of good reasons, he'd managed before.

Shame he had an appearance to maintain here.

Casually, he threw an arm around the shoulder of a total stranger and grinned when the other man brushed him off, apparently ruffled. Somewhere in this massive busy room, he'd find Allen, and the little mermaid, and -- theoretically -- his date.

Worth gettin' all dressed up for, right?

Avoiding dances had become more than a bit boring after a while, and Scathach decided that she might as well have some form of entertainment to draw from before the night ended. And indeed, seeing the shocked looks on her partners' faces once she actually accepted their invitations was more than enough to sustain her good mood. And the way they seemed so hesitant to touch her, as if they knew it was wrong, knew they should turn and go find someone else or a glass of wine to nurse to stave off the shudder that flew down their spines at the feel of her chilled skin ( ... )

orz, errands wtbindifference January 19 2009, 02:35:41 UTC

Well, she'd said he would know her, and when he turned to face her, Lavi thought he knew why.

Scatty was a beautiful woman, no question. Her long legs mostly exposed, her shoulders bare, so much striking pale skin. But somehow he could not help thinking, I would know you.

Perhaps he wouldn't instinctively know her as an immortal, but he would know she wasn't quite human. She was too... clean-looking. Cold, in a way he couldn't quite put his finger on.

"Scatty," he returned, and reached out a hand to take hers, the other sliding neatly behind his back. "Would you like to dance?"

*pets* no worries (: spadassin January 19 2009, 03:00:34 UTC

The way he looked at her made her feel almost human, just like when she and Namae had sat together. The same feeling of muted delight swept her frozen veins, and she let it wash over her, let it rush over her. This was what they felt like, she knew. The human women who tried to impress their male counterparts and succeeded. This was that sensation ( ... )
