The time is 10:38 pm

Robin was one of the first to arrive to the ball. She wore a beautiful red dress with her hair down.

A ball would be fun, she was very happy to be able to see Lulu and the few other friends she made. Plus it could be a lot of fun.

Lulu saw Robin enter wearing a stunning red dress. She glided over to the brunette with a smile on her face. "Happy New Year!" she exclaimed.

"Hey, happy New Year Lulu! Wow, I love your dress." It was a beautiful dress. She looked around the room and saw there were already a lot of people here.

Re: The time is 10:38 pm, about (or aboot =D ) Haha <3

"Thank you," the blonde grinned. "Yours is beautiful!" And it was.

Around 8

[redheadprophet]

Laura, in a dress that she'd found last minute and absolutely loved, was holding a very snugly bundled Tamara as she made her way into the party with Bill. The blankets were pulled off of the baby to reveal her little black and red dress, and Laura looked around at all of the people, knowing there probably wouldn't be a shortage of people who wanted to hold her.

[oh heck, I'll post the tux picture later :D]

[oldmanadama]

Bill was not that far behind, shrugging off his own overcoat as he stepped through the door. He'd managed to find a tuxedo in his predecessor's wardrobe, and he adjusted his bow tie one last time, before turning to smile at his girls (both of them).

"You look stunning," he said, with a quick kiss to Laura's cheek. "As usual. And for once, I think Tamara's decided to behave herself tonight."

[redheadprophet]

Laura smiled and leaned into his kiss before scanning the room for the coat check so she could put up their coats and the diaper bag. "You look devastatingly handsome in that tux," she grinned as she reciprocated his kiss.

"Can you watch the baby for a minute while I go check the diaper bag and our coats?"

[oldmanadama]

"Thank my predecessor, who was apparently my size," he said, tugging slightly at his jacket . "Though I'd feel more comfortable in dress greys - and that's saying something."

Satisfied that his attire was reasonably in order, Bill turned back to Laura. "Of course," he said, reaching over to take Tamara from her. "C'mere, little lady. We'll wait here while your mother puts your things away."

9 pm

[teapot_jones]

Ianto had turned up to the ball round nine or so and all on his own. Just because he wanted to be a bit of a surprise and you can't surprise someone if they're watching you get dressed. Mainly because he had chosen to go so bloody formal with white tie and tails and felt quite the dapper dandy. He even had a watch fob on, antique and gifted to him for Christmas. In his hands was a bottle of champagne, to add to the festivities. His face lit up, though, when he spotted Lulu, done up like a fairy tale princess.

Re: 9 pm

[lulu8889]

Lulu grinned as she saw Ianto walking in completely decked out. She walked over to him the picture of grace as she all but skipped.

"Ianto! You look perfect!"

Re: 9 pm

[teapot_jones]

"So do you." Ianto leaned forward and brushed a careful kiss against Lulu's cheek before grinning and offering out the champagne bottle. "Happy New Year's, then. Oh, and do save me a dance on your dancecard?"

Re: 9 pm

[lulu8889]

Lulu laughed, as she hugged Ianto and then took the bottle of champagne, intending to give it straight to the bartender.

"Happy New Year's to you, too!" she grinned. "I will save you a dance so long as you've got time for me."

9:15pm

[absent_apollo]

Lee was never late to anything. No, really. He was always promptly on time. But not today. No. Today, he had gotten ready and urged his brother to hurry up. Ten minutes after he'd actually wanted to leave the hotel, Zak had been ready. And the two brothers had gone to pick up Moira from her house, and after having spent twenty minutes for her to finish up, they had been on their way to Lily's house.. but some snow build-up had cost them fifteen minutes. But the three of them had finally made it to Lily's home and they'd been half an hour late getting out, because Remus had wanted to try out his new camera.. the photos didn't move, but it was fantastic all the same. So by the time Lily, Moira, Zak and Lee had actually gotten on their way to the ball, they'd been an hour late. The roads, again, had slowed them, and now it was 9:15 in the evening and they were only now arriving at the ball. Lee in his uniform, and Zak in his -- Lee had them both made, when he'd found out about the ball a while ago. He'd traded a favor to the man (he'd

Re: 9:15pm

[icarus_like]

Zak hadn't been that late really. Maybe five minutes. But that was only because someone had hogged the bathroom like a girl. Lee. When they picked up Moira, Zak was absolutely in awe. She was beautiful. And he told her so. They picked up Lily, and Zak grinned at Remus when he was working the camera. Pictures finally taken, they were on their way.

At City Hall, Zak was also helping Moira out of her coat, and then took her hand and walked with her into the ballroom. Looking around, he smiled. "Lulu loves celebrations." It was a joking understatement.

Re: 9:15pm

[moirabyrne]

Moira had only been late because she was not entirely certain that she was ready to leave the house. Lulu had left considerably earlier.

She had a feeling she was just going to be flushing the entire night.

Lily rolled her eyes at her friend as he took pictures and was happy when they were finally on their way. She was happy that Lee helped her out of her jacket and was glad that she could walk in her dress.

Moira took his hand and laughed after she was helped out of her jacket and left in herbrown dress. "Yes. She really really does."

Re: 9:15pm

[absent_apollo]

"I'm not sure I got to tell you earlier.. but you look beautiful, Moira." Lee offered her a smile, then took off his own coat to reveal the uniform beneath, handing that over as well. One Zak had handed off his coat, Lee was touching his hand to the small of Lily's back and guiding her further inside. "It looks quite pretty." Said of the decorations, of course.

10pm because Lady M had to get dressed

[pendraeg]

Uther poured himself another paper cup of wine. He had promised to escort Morgana to the ball, so when she had made her exit this afternoon in order to prepare for it, he had dutifully dressed himself as well, boots, circlet, and blue dress cloak. He had even exchanged his everyday gloves for the finer pair.

Yet all this had been completed not a few cups of wine ago, and Morgana had yet to appear.

He did not recall its ever having taken so long for her to dress for a feast. Then again, he had always had other matters to which to attend, and she had always had a handmaiden to help her.

Though he merely sipped at his wine, his cup was soon empty, and, having reached the end of his patience--not to say the end of his bottle--the King of Camelot took it upon himself to find out just what was taking so long and whether he could hurry matters along at all. He made his way to the chamber Morgana had chosen, and, standing at its threshold, knocked heavily upon the solidly closed door.

"Morgana!" he called in a stern voice.

Lady M can take all the time she pleases.

[notjusta_ward]

Morgana had taken considerably longer than her usual amount of time getting ready. She was not used to getting ready without a handmaiden for such a fancy affair. Not entirely used to getting ready on her own, but a ball was different.

She finally was putting the final touches on her hair, reminiscing about how much better it would look had someone else done it, she opened the door for Uther, in her dress. "Uther?" she responded.

Because Lady M is gorgeous, as always.

[pendraeg]

"There you are," Uther said before he had quite seen more than a mere flash of blue. He knew, of course, without needing to look at her that she would be more than stunning in the gown he had bought her. He had known it from the moment he had seen the gown, in a shop window on one of his morning perambulations

Of course she is!

[notjusta_ward]

Morgana nodded. "Here I am. What do you think?" she asked, brushing a piece of hair out of her face. "The only thing left is the necklace." She hadn't been able to put it on herself.
