Ciel; Open

[no_souls_here]

Ciel is making the rounds, greeting all of his guests with tact, and in a cordial manner. This is what they call Phantomhive hospitality. Something he usually reserves for the social gatherings held at his own manor. He's dressed as a character straight out of fiction, The Scarlet Pimpernel, the costume is not so far removed from his usual attire. The jacket at least is red, and sporting the flower of his character's namesake, and a smart-looking cravat. Unlike Sir Blakeney, Ciel is not as sociable but he is making the effort, offering his guests a rarely witnessed faint smile.

Ciel; Open

[unyieldingwill]

“They seek him here, they seek him there”

A polite chuckle as a playful voice is heard from behind. Turning Ciel would notice Eagle standing there, smiling as usual but wearing a much more flamboyant outfit than he usually wore.
With a dark brimmed hat, a flashy purple shirt, and a fur trimmed coat that hung down to his knees, Eagle looked every bit the ‘Idol’ he was pretending to be.

“You really went out of your way for this party, Ciel.”

Noting the elaborate decorations and the attention to all the little details the Earl seemed to have taken such care in preparing. And, since Eagle was nothing if not polite.

“Thank you again for inviting me.”

Ciel; Open

"Those Frenchies seek him everywhere," Ciel continued the phrase. A smirk played across his face when he delivered this particular line, "Is he in heaven or is he in hell?".

Rolling his head to one side, he didn't have to guess who was approaching him. They'd spoken a few times over the journals, albeit not so amicably. What was Mr. Vision even wearing? This style of fashion was lost on the Slytherin youth, having not spent much attention to modern popstars.

"This?" Ciel waved a hand dismissively, " This is nothing for one baring the Phantomhive name".

"Think nothing of it".

Ciel; Open

[unyieldingwill]

The intonation on the word ‘hell’ was interesting… but the smirk itself was returned with an amiable grin.

“If you are the Scarlet Pimpernel then I wonder who Chauvelin might be…?”

Eagle glanced around the room as if actually looking for the tenacious French envoy who doggedly pursued the Pimpernel… intent on capturing all of his secrets. But, apparently not finding anyone who quite matched the description Eagle turned his attention back to Ciel with a mischievous chuckle.

Bobbing for Apples; Hikaru & Open!

[legendary_fire]

"Oh wow! They must have really worked hard on this!" Hikaru exclaimed as she made her way into the room. She marveled at the various decorations, and costumes. When she'd received the impromptu invitation days prior she didn't really know what to expect, having never really met or spoken to Ciel. He must be a really nice guy, to go to all this trouble.

The enthusiastic redhead made her way to the party games eager to start having some fun. For tonight's affair she managed to acquire a gypsy costume; all thanks to another student's help. Spying the apples bobbing up and down in a basin of water she stepped over to try her hand at it.

She stood there for a few moments planning her angle of attack.

"It can't be all that hard, can it...?" Hikaru encouraged herself leaning closer to the tub.

Bobbing for Apples; Hikaru & Open!

[unyieldingwill]

“Is Hikaru-chan any good at bobbing for apples?”

Suddenly Eagle appears at Hikaru’s side as if he had been standing there the entire time… though he had really only just arrived at this game. He too leans a little closer to the apples floating around in the clear water, before backing off without trying for any.

“I’ll cheer you on, if you are going to try and catch one of those.”

[legendary_fire]

"Hikaru-- chan?". It had been a while since anyone had employed that suffix when referring to her. Even the other Japanese students seemed content to leave those off. Hikaru however smiled brightly when she saw who it was pleased that Eagle felt comfortable enough to use "chan". "Eagle!". Straightening her posture, she lay a finger aside her face looking thoughtful. "What a great costume! I never would have thought of that!". Eagle looked just like--! That guy, from that band? What was his .. name..?

Then she looked back at the apples, "Actually I've never tried it before".

"Will you really?! Thanks! I need all the help I can get!".

[unyieldingwill]

“And Hikaru-chan is a gypsy. I wouldn’t have thought of that!”

Thinking nothing of throwing the familiar ‘chan’ suffix into the conversation… even though he had only met the young lady a few times previously. Hikaru was however in an exclusive club, since Eagle usually just used a person’s first name regardless of rank or level of familiarity.

“I think the trick is to try and pin the apple to the bottom of the tub before attempting to capture it.” A smile before adding, “Good luck!”

Having a fondness for shiny objects, the suit of armor Seifer was sporting could not go unnoticed. Impressive. It looked like more than just a costume. Her innate curiosity compelled her to draw nearer not willing to strike up a conversation just yet. If she could only give the suit a light rap, it would reveal the authenticity of the metal. Depending on the alloy used, it could fetch a decent price on the bla--

Internally, she sighed. This was supposed to be a business-free evening.

Stealing up some confidence, Brietta strode over to Seifer somewhat confidently. "Nice costume".

[l33t_magician]

Every galleon? Then she'd been right. This "costume" was as pricey as it appeared. "You didn't purchase it just for this occasion did you?". Surely not. A one time affair wouldn't have warranted the expense.

"Nothing in particular," Brietta replied. "Just an angel".

Grell, Open

[bloodycinematic]

Long legs enter the hallway, dressed with stockings as he lightly tips his golden hat forward, snickering a little. It was a marvelous idea from the begining and he was all too happy to express himself in such a manner. With hair pinked up in a bun behind his head and make up situated the way it should be, his eyes scanned the room for his darling frank. He was all woman tonight, breasts or no, and with one hand on his hip, his nails tapped against the tiny skirt like shorts.

Tonight, Grell would be dressing as Columbia

[urpersonaldemon]

Of course it had been a marvelous idea. It was a shame, though, that not many knew of the Rocky Horror Show. Just what was the world coming to, ..? He let out a sigh and slid out from behind Grell. Look no further, ♥. Laying a hand on the Professor's shoulder, Sebastian pulled him backward. "ah, Professor. I see you didn't skimp on any, one, detail." His lips pursed into a smile. " .. you look lovely."

He took a step back as he let Grell go. He hadn't, yet, revealed his costume, as to do so would be a mockery of, not only the film, but the character. He wanted- No. He needed something big. So, for now, Sebastian wore a simple black coat over most of the costume. His heels, though, were still quite obvious. "Enjoying yourself yet, Grell?"

[bloodycinematic]

If Grell had known not many knew of it, he might've head a huge screening of it in the stage room as he had spent a couple of hours each night to review the feature for costume ideas. He was turned and he spun on heel to greet him, winking a little.

Fingers inched up that black coat of his, just waiting with tons of expectation for what he would or wouldn't see, "Nn hee hee. why thank you darling, and I just got here." Eyes simply rolled down to the heels.

[urpersonaldemon]

He had done the same, and had, also, been sorely tempted to screen the movie for those staff and students interested. Smiling, Sebastian took Grell by the wrist and pulled him closer. He locked an arm around his waist and purred, softly, into his ear.

"ah, well the night is still young and, by the looks of it, the room is only just starting to fill up." He followed Grell's stare as it fell between them and, inevitably, onto the boots. Lifting his leg up a bit, Sebastian lodged the heel of the boot into the wall behind Grell. "Do you like them, ..?" He chuckled, the coat riding up enough to reveal the fishnets binding his legs. "One of a kind."

[halcyon_hime]

It took Orihime a few minutes to stop staring at, well... everything! The decorations were wonderful, the music was spookily festive and the food looked (and tasted) amazing! Terrifyingly amazing!

Because Halloween demanded it she'd come dressed as a ghost. This meant, of course, a sheet over her head charmed to be transluscent and flutter omniously. It also meant she was having a little difficulty seeing. And therefore getting around.

She laughed outright as she crashed into someone near the punch table, pulling the sheet over her head to apologise properly. "I'm not usually this clumsy, I promise!"

/throws in a real ghost atchu!

[notaferry]

The food did indeed look quite wonderful! Though she could not sample it herself, Botan had found herself drawn to admiring the wonderful details that had gone into such a lovely Ball. She had truly missed the Ball's thrown at Hogwarts in all her time away. They were always quite the time and so very memorable.

Magically clad in her old student uniform, from when she was a student, instead of her normal kimono dress, she had even dressed up. As many had gazed at her in surprise, possibly unsure that a ghost could even change their appearance to such a state, she had claimed it a successful costume. Glancing away from the table full of snacks, Botan felt someone's eyes upon her and tried to locate the source only to feel someone passing right through her and bumping into the table.

"Oh, my!",she exclaimed, a hand to her mouth in surprise. She gently turned, floating out of the way to get a better look at who had fallen. "Are you alright?"

8D

[halcyon_hime]

Orihime gave a squeal at the unexpected cold as she passed through the ghost.

"I-I-I'm alright!" she managed, breathless in both shock and laughter. It took her a few moments to recognise Botan in the uniform. "You're dressed up too! You look wonderful, Botan-san!"

Re: 8D

[notaferry]

Botan laughed, taking a moment to respond in her native tongue as she floated about.

"Aa yokatta (What a relief), Orihime-san.",she chirped, giving a short bow. She adjusted her tie, as she stood back up. "Oh, yes~ This is what our uniforms looked like back when I was a student."
