Mia had heard of the 'Chocolate Club' not long ago and had decided to make an appearance this time. It wasn't like she could actually eat the chocolate, but she'd liked it in her time alive, so she figured why not, right?

So with a smile, Mia walked into the room through the wall and moved to perch herself floating a little bit off the floor, sitting cross-legged so she wouldn't take up a chair that someone living could use.

"I know I'm not exactly the eating type, but I figured anyone who likes chocolate should come to something like this," she called teasingly over at Rangiku, hoping her friend wouldn't mind that she was crashing the party.

Iroh, in a jovial mood for the Chocolate Club, came into the Charms classroom wearing his basic robes. He had hoped not to mess them up in the event of any melted chocolate falling on anything he had that was too fancy.

He waved and shared smiles with all the students, and then gave an extra-happy smile to both Rangiku, the head of his house, and Mia, a ghost who was more friendly than not. "How are you both doing today? I am very excited about the prospect of all this chocolate. I will be giving my intense reviews of each piece...though they tend to just say 'mmm" or 'delicious'...maybe I should be more crticial in my reviews?" Iroh stated to both ladies.

Laughing at her friends words, Rangiku flopped down onto the floor next to Mia. "I'm glad you made it," she said happily, and if she culd have, Mia would have been dragged into a hug then and there. "We're about enjoying chocolates from different cultures, ne? Maybe there is some sort of ghosty chocolate just waiting to be discovered."

Glancing around, she dropped her voice. "Besides, I'm testing a charm to keep Hagface out. It's a good sign that you made it through," Rangiku said softly, before turning to Iroh with a smile.

"I think your scale for assessment is perfect, Iroh~ There's no need to go and make it complicated, is there?"

[ghostofalawyer]

Mia chuckled. She hadn’t actually had the chance to speak to Iroh before, so this was a nice change from the usual. The ghost reached out to playfully ruffle Rangiku’s hair, perfectly aware that her hand would slide right through her friend’s head, before she returned her attention to Iroh. “I’m well,” she answered with a warm smile. “You’ll have to tell me how the chocolate tastes. It’s been a while since I could have any.” She glanced a little longingly at some of the chocolate before the expression melted back to contentment. Really, she wasn’t that upset about being dead. It kind of tended to happen to people, some earlier than others. At least she was able to see her sister at all.

The mention of the Charm from Rangiku received a slight blink in surprise from Mia before the ghost snorted a little. “Well, I’m just glad you can differentiate between good ghost and bad,” she replied. “I’d hate to see what mischief your charm wards would come up with if they thought I was the bad ghost!”

Seriously. Chocolate. Laguna was more than happy to come to the club and meet people but also, come on, it was chocolate. He made his way down to where it was suppose to be, having gotten all the information from Rangiku (thank goodness...) when they had met up.

His hair was still slightly damp from his shower so it wasn't in its customary tie, unfortunately showing more of the gray streaks. He felt old whenever he saw those but what could he do? He sighed and entered the room. His eyes widened at all the chocolate.

"Wow, she wasn't kidding when she said there would be lots of chocolate..."

Luxord did enjoy parties of any sort and while this was a relatively tame event (compared to others he had been to), he had a feeling it would still prove interesting. Before touching any of the chocolate Luxord had helped himself to a cup of tea. Considering Rangiku had been in charge things had turned out fairly well.

Then again, the party had only just begun.

The Arithmancy professor picked up a few chocolates and started to mingle when he noticed a familiar face in the crowd...one he had run into recently. "Well," he said, overhearing what Laguna had declared upon entering, "it would hardly be appropriate to call it a chocolate club meeting if there were not a lot of chocolates."

[prof_leg_cramp]

"Yeah, but still," He said, turning to Luxord. "This is a lot of chocolate."

Laguna grinned though, when he saw Luxord anyway. He picked up some chocolate of his own. "How are you doing, though? Did you find your cat?"

[maestoso_tempo]

"True," Luxord replied, returning Laguna's grin with one of his own.

Luxord took another drink of his tea before answering, "I did. He was a tough catch of course but I think cats typically like to play hard to get."

Maes had heard news of the so called Chocolate Club and had figured that it would be a great opportunity to get some pictures for the yearbook. He was expecting to see some of his students at the party but so far the crowd was pretty light.

Oh well, it was there grade not his. He could still enjoy himself. Maes popped a piece of chocolate in his and then pulled out his camera, it was time to get to work.

He walked up to the first person he saw at one of the chocolate trays and snapped a photo, "Say 'Chocolate'!"

[roaring_blues]

"Hmm?" Said Hank with a kind of Truffle half-way to its doom.

Like most people when faced with the devilish eye of a camera he grinned like a fool, freezing until the flash passed and it was only then the penny dropped and he realised his face would be semi-immortalised on a peice of paper with that stupid grin (that might haunt him for a fair while).

"Oh, That was.. Certainly unexpected. I hope you're camera is alright" Hank said with a nudge of his elbow, suggesting perhaps his appearance would cause harm to the contraption.

[huesofhonesty]

Maes chuckled, it never got old sneaking up and doing that to people. He recalled something about how you were supposed to take pictures that looked 'natural' but it was just too much fun taking goofy pictures most of the time. He just hoped Hank wouldn't get upset if not only was it immortalized but put in the yearbook.

"It's alright," Maes replied with a smile, not even looking at his camera, "Sorry about that, it's kinda part of my job." He looked around for his students, "Although I am hoping some of my student photographers show up...it's their yearbook after all."

[roaring_blues]

Momentarily he choked on a phantom truffle in his throat for a moment, oh dear. "Well I hope you got my good side" He replied with an embarresed smile, quickly picking up another delicacy to engage in a bit of comfort eating at the thought of his photo possibly ending up in the year book.

Students on the other hand were probably more sly than Maes..Best not to think about it "I'm sure they are doing their best, after all theres so much to photograph around here" Hank chuckled and picked up another chocolate, it wouldn't be too long before he finished that tray if he kept picking them off the way he was going.

Hikaru had missed the original chocolate party, being out with his broken leg and all, so walking into the Charms classroom and seeing all that chocolate was... a bit of a shock, to say the least. He didn't think he'd ever seen that much at once.

"Woah," he said. A slow grin crept across his face.

This. Was. Awesome.

He picked up pieces of chocolate here and there as he walked, exploring, but then found the mini Quidditch pitch and stopped, completely fascinated. He'd probably be there for quite some time.

Well, she had slowly but surely made her way down to the Charms classroom. Truth be told, she had been stalling a bit, still feeling a little embarassed that she hadn't taken time right from the start to get to know people. But first and foremost, she had been worried about disappointing her father back home.

She poked her head into the classroom first, grateful that the gathering was so easy to identify. There were sweets everywhere! Filled with awe, it helped her to forget the butterflies in her stomach, as she stepped quietly into the room, moving towards the table displaying the quittitch pitch.

"That's amazing!" she hadn't even realized that the words had left her lips. As she continued to study the masterpiece.

[brightfive]

"Isn't it?" Hikaru said excitedly, beaming. It was unclear who he was responding to, but it worked either way. "It's so awesome. I think it's just a wrapper. I mean, it has to be, right?" His fingers itched to grab it and find out, but he resisted the temptation. He didn't want to ruin the display.

Hikaru had something of a tendency to chatter away whether anyone was actually listening or not. He grabbed a truffle from a nearby table and bit into it. Mmm. Peanut butter.

"I don't know whether I want to eat it or just watch it forever," he continued thoughtfully.

Link remembered helping with a previous chocolate club event that had gone fairly well, so he figured he'd try this one out too. From the looks of it, the Charms professor was really trying to get everyone addicted to the stuff. Thinking back, he remembered the time where she had given him chocolate milk when he was in the hospital wing. It really was delicious. He'd be looking for more today.

There were already some people in the room when Link arrived. He noticed the Ancient Runes professor who seemed to be enjoying himself, but Link would talk to him later. He headed straight for the table where he saw glasses of chocolate milk and grabbed himself one. He was in heaven.

[link_to_the_net]

Link wiped a chocolate milk mustache from his lips before he answered...her. He knew he's seen her around before, but could never remember her name.

"Yeah, it's pretty good. It's great with milk. I suppose you like it too?"
