Re: A Night of Masks and Mystere.

[Guest]

Calla blushed lightly when he accepted, and she smiled at him. Her visible green eye looked up to meet his gaze as she took his hand and let him lead her to the dance floor as the music faded into a slower, more personal type of song. She rested her hands on his shoulders and smiled slightly at the rhythms. Sylphaea and Adonia must be enjoying the music right now. She then turned her attention to Eien again after brushing her hair out of her face again.

"So are you enjoying the masquerade?" she questioned. She took note of his slightly confused look and laughed quietly. "Trying to figure out who it is? It shouldn't be that difficult."

Okay, so maybe the extentions and a dress colour different from what she normally wore did hide her identity better than she thought.

[Tarô]

Tarô nodded confirming it and excused himself with a small reverence. Then he started dancing much faster with long and graceful movements, elegantly spinning as he danced to the middle of the ballroom. Whenever he felt that Severa was nervous he just lifted her up a bit by pulling on her waist in a discrete manner and carefully not to mess with her beautiful dress. So it felt like she did a small jump movement that made her look kinda experienced, like it was all part of the dancing.

Tarô was having a lot of fun since he had found a beautiful and interesting dancing partner. He held her hand firmly trying to make her feel more confident and kept dancing through the song.

(However if it could be edited it would be better I guess.)

[Septima Severa]

Severa couldn't say she liked being lifted off the ground. Sure, it made her look like she could kind of dance, which she couldn't, but she preferred to keep her feet on the ground. Her heart skipped a beat every time he lifted her, though she knew it was because she messed up again.

I'm a warrior damn it, she thought. I'm not made for petty dancing and elegance! She bit her lip, forcing to focus on the dancing. She was bothered about the fact that she knew nothing about it, and it annoyed her to no end that he couldn't, or wouldn't, speak!

"So what are you? You don't look like a human, or any nymph I've ever seen. You're different, but I can't place you!"

[Guest]

Andrasteia watched the dancers, wondering if she could get a partner herself. Maybe she should go over towards the other side of the room...there weren't many people over here. Walking along and feeling excited despite her lack of anyone to talk to, she made her way around the room until she was more towards the refreshments table.

Andras thought she recognized Zephyra, and waved, but she wasn't sure if the girl was her friend or noticed her, but kept an eye aimed in her direction anyway.

[Guest]

"Calla! So it is you!" he said, feeling a little victorious after he managed to figure it out.

He had only seen her once in the Mess Hall, but even in the dark, the Charis had one of the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen. He chuckled lightly at his disability of recognizing her instantly.

"Of course, Calla. I don't think it's ever been this lively in the Athenaeum," he smiled, giving the Charis a spin. Then out of the corner of his eye, he thought he saw a swish of pink. It immediately caught his attention.

'Oh Lord Hades!! Could it be--?!'

Well... confirmed. She seemed rather irritated, removing her mask.

The distraction momentarily stopped the dance. Eien smacked himself mentally, quickly continuing his steps with Calla to cease the awkwardness. It's really not polite to leave right now. Well, he started it, so he might as well finish it. He thought of just enjoying the moment one at a time.

"Oh, do forgive me. I haven't complimented your dress. You look really beautiful in it," he smiled.

[Guest]

Kamoa listened to the music before she put her mask on and moved a bit farther away.

"It is so good....to have some of my freedom back" She whispered to herself as she smiled watching the students dance.

"Even if its just for a while."

[Guest]

Raivynne noticed her mentor over in the shadows watching over the dance. She decided to go and say hello. Carefully she walked over to Kamoa and gave a small smile. "Hello, Kamoa." Raivynne said somewhat quietly but loud enough for her mentor to hear the words.

[Tarô]

Tarô moved his hand in circles like he was trying to say something and kept dancing completely unaware of Severa's thoughts. When she asked he just pointed to the ground and then waved his hand at himself indicating it was a hot place. Everytime he moved that metallic sound followed him.

[Guest]

"Cedric, is that you?" She asked, walking closer to the voice, smiling. She's quite sure it is--no other boy in the Athenaeum had a voice as polite and gentle.

"Most definitely," she bowed and held his hand.

"Doros, this is Cedric. Cedric, Doros," she introduced.

"I hope you wouldn't mind if I leave you for awhile?" she smiled at the boy, then encouraged him, "In fact, I'd like you to enjoy the party and look for a girl to dance with. There are quite a lot of them here."

[Guest]

Calla looked up at him and blinked, following his gaze to the mentor. She glanced away before looking back up at him. She smiled slightly at him and stopped, taking a step back.

"Why don't you go ask her to dance. I have someone to look for anyway," she told him before quickly spinning on her heels and walked out onto the balcony. Once outside, she breathed in the night air deeply. She sighed and leaned against the railing, staring up at the sky.

[Guest]

" Oh Hello there Raivynne."Kamoa smiled as she turned around to face one of her students. "What a lovely dress you have, tell me are you enjoying the dance?"

[Guest]

Raivynne smiled. "Thank you, your dress is beautiful as well!" She said, glancing about the room before back to the mentor. Shrugging her shoulders Rai replied, "Dancing isn't really my thing but yes I am enjoying myself. Its fun to try and guess whose who. What about yourself?"

[Guest]

Kamoa nodded her head at Raivynne's compliment and smiled a bit. "I can only name a few that I see right now." She laughs and lifts her dress up letting her bare feet be seen. " I don't dance either and I don't plan to, those shoes were killing the minute I put them on." Lowering her dress she looks at the students who are dancing. "That is why I am back here...not to be noticed."

[Guest]

Jane saw someone go outside, and, seeing as just standing around inside with all the people here wasn't getting her noticed, she decided to follow the girl. Maybe she'd at least get to know someone around here.

Outside it was refreshinly cool, and she found herself feeling a little awkward. So she stood to attention, glad that the dress covered this up a little, and tried forming her lips into a smile. "Hello," she said.

[Guest]

"Calla--...," Eien called out when she left, but she had quickly disappeared into the crowd. He sighed. That was a bad start. Hope Call's okay...

The Lampad turned back to look for the Mentor again. She's still there, seemingly having a conversation with Rai. He smiled and approached them.

"Good evening, Miss Kamoa..."

He walked there with confidence at first, but found it slowly draining away as he walked closer, replaced by some nervousness. Hell, Kamoa looked like a Goddess before him, draped in her simple yet elegant dress. He found no suitable words to use as compliments.

[Guest]

Helene runned into the the ball room.
Is Noster here?I hope he is.Then she stroked her dress and walked to the desk where are the drinnks where.
anyway...I drink something.

[Guest]

"Nice to meed you Cedric.My name is Doros.I think I catche somebody to dance."he winked.Then he sawed Helene.He runned to her and almost to take Helene off her legs.
"Hello my dearedt cousin!!!"he put the emphasis on cousin."Do you remember me don't you?!I am your cousin Doros.The music is so beautiful we should go to dance."and before Helene could say anything ,he drag her to the dancefloor.

[Guest]

"W-what???!!!!!"Helene reignosed Noster-she was the one ,who 'd made him wear a wig-but that was fast.She looked round.Nobody was listening to them.
"How do you meant that?"she wispered"Do you turned to my cousin with the name Doros?"
She give Noster a grumpty face."I know You're an aswome dancer-but I am not.So this is unfair because I didn'taccepted YOU!"She smiled at him.

[Guest]

Kamoa looked over at the young man.

She tilts her head trying to figure out who he was. He wore a skull mask that only covered his eyes but not his smile. His torn up cape made her wonder if the girls pulled on it.

"Good evening." She replied smiling at the young boy. "What happened to the young lady you were dancing with?"

Oh it's Eien! She thought after she figured out who he was when she noticed his Lampad fire nacklace.

[Guest]

Cedric smiled to Sylphie as he took her hand, gently "Of course! Good to know you recognize my voice." he said, blinking his eyes at the figure next to her.

"Oh, nice to meet you Doros." he said, bowing and watched as he replied and went away, letting Cedric turn to Sylphaea.

"Well, I hope the praticing led to something good." he said as he took her waist and started valsing to the music.

[Guest]

Calla was so absorbed into her thoughts, she jumped at the sound of a voice. She spun around, her skirts rustling as she noticed a girl standing there. She smiled slightly and curtsied.

"Good evening," she greeted. "Are you enjoying yourself tonight?"

She turned slightly to lean on the balcony railing again and turned her head slightly, but still listened for the girl's response. She just needed to clear her mind and the girl's company didn't bother her that much. Some light conversation might be nice, since she's been couping herself up in the forest and training arenas constantly, practicing her wind magic and archery.

[Guest]

"It certainly does--I'm more confident now. Thanks for practicing with me, Cedric," she said as she followed his steps almost perfectly.

[Septima Severa]

"Circles? What do you want to tell me?! Aah, this is so infuriating!" Severa cried out in utter frustration."Okay, down there, wait. Hades? You come from Hades?"

She disengaged and took a step back. "The only place in Hades where there is fire is in Tartarus. So if you're from Tartarus, the who are you?"

[Guest]

"She... She was looking for someone," he replied, feeling a little guilty, "I hope she finds him..."

Eien never liked to be feeling down, so he tried to lighten up, smiling again. And it's no use to get nervous now.

"Miss Kamoa, you're not wearing your mask," he chuckled, "Care for a dance?"

He offered his hand.

[Guest]

Kamoa laughed"Why should I when everyone can still tell who I am?" she nodded and took Eien's hand. "I would love to dear."

Actually she didn't want to dance, one she had no shoes on, two she didn't know how. Of course she didn't want Eien to feel bad she accepted. "I should tell you Eien dear, that I really don't know how to dance, but I hope you can teach me a bit"

She smiles as walked slowly,carefully not letting her feet to be seen.
