Re: A Night of Masks and Mystere.

Sylphie felt something strange in the ballroom. She can't see, so it's more like she 'sense' them. She's especially sensitive to their feelings. There's someone standing alone and miserable in the ballroom. It's most likely a boy, maybe second year...

And this shyness and anxiousness could only belong to... Noster?

She felt something similar when practicing with Noster and Helene in the Lounge. Helene doesn't seem to be there, so she went to the boy.

"Umm... Excuse me, is it... Noster?"

((Morph: Oh fudgesicles, I thought I had a pretty good disguise going on...))

"Well, now is as good a time as any to learn. It's simple though it may take a few tries to get used to..."

He moved slightly so that they were positioned correctly, and led her slowly, taking time to show the young Roman warrior the steps.

"Remember to face to the left, and don't fret if you mess up."

by **Septima Severa** Mon Oct 11, 2010 12:30 pm

She nodded, following his lead with ever concentration, looking down at her feet (which was not an easy feat, considering the dress). She kept messing up and it was driving her nuts.

"Merda, how come I can keep pace in a battle easily but dance I cannot?!" she cried in frustration.

Noster turned very fast.stay calm STAY CALM
"Noster?Exucuse me miss,but I am not Noster.I am his cousin,Doros."He felt really embarassed.Lying to someone expecially a girl-that was too much for him.
of course she is blind thath i am wearing a wig isn't important to her...but how am i going to tell Helene that I am turnded into her cousin?!

by Guest Mon Oct 11, 2010 12:36 pm

Morpheus chuckled.

"That is because dancing requires a different skillset than fighting. You're new at this, it's only natural that you're not skilled at it yet. Watch my footsteps and follow them. Don't worry about your own feet, I highly doubt you can see them through your dress."

by **Septima Severa** Mon Oct 11, 2010 12:43 pm

"Not as long as I keep wearing that stupid birdcage," Severa grumbled, looking at his feet now instead. Well, his hooves. "At least I shan't have to worry about stepping on your toes," she said, the hint of a smile on her lips.

It went a tad bit better now, just because he had hooves didn't prevent Severa from stepping there where his feet should have been. "Ah, I have no patience for this!"

by Guest Mon Oct 11, 2010 12:54 pm

"Oh, my apologies," Sylphie bowed, looking slightly embarrassed.

"Doros, was it? I'm Sylphaea. It's a pleasure to meet you," she smiled warmly at him, "The Ball is wonderful, isn't it? Don't stand alone here. It'll be nice if you join the others."

by Guest Mon Oct 11, 2010 12:56 pm

A understanding smile spread across the satyr's face. "Patience is a virtue, Miss Severa. I'm sure you'll get the hang of it."

He kept the pace slow and made sure to not use fancy dance moves that might confuse and fluster the young Warrior.

((Morph is a pro at dancing RAINBOW BUMMIE

Oh, while I'm at it I'm going to add some more emoticons today.))

by Guest Mon Oct 11, 2010 1:01 pm

"Oh thank you miss,but I am not from around here. You know I am just a guest here and I don't really know the other. Would you mind if I ask you to introduce them to me?" said Noster. He was happy. Very happy. Maybe a little bit nervous about that he pretend himself an other person-but he knowed that it isn't a big problem.

((Morph is very OCD, he fixed up your post slightly.))

((Angela should totally be studying for her organic exam tomorrow - but is not ))

Tahi smiled, as she tied her mask in place, fixing the last of the maroon pink ribbons in her hair. Not that she was really that interested in hiding her appearance. I mean - what was the point of being so gorgeous and having nobody know it's you? She twirled in front of the mirror, watching her pastel orange pink dress flare out from underneath her - the scent of roses floating up from the flowers that covered the dress. Fake flowers, of course. She wasn't sure if it was completely polite to wear real flowers to a dryad's birthday party - so she had gone with the replicas. Not that anyone should be able to tell, except maybe her Auntie.

Checking herself in the mirror one last time, and slightly adjusting her flowered tiara - she descended from Kal's room (goodness knew where her brother was sulking - but he wasn't in his room. He was probably still searching for an antidote to the hairdye she had used on him. The baby), and approached the ballroom. Intending on making as grand of an entrance as possible she used her magic to open the doors in front of her, waving her fan playfully as she descended the stairs into the main room.

"Let the party begin - I have arrived!" She said playfully to no one in particular.

by Guest Mon Oct 11, 2010 2:47 pm

Zephyra stumbled into the ballroom. She truly had a knack for coming to these dances late. As she walked in, music had already started playing and people were already dancing. Zeph started walking some more and nearly tripped over her dress, it was almost too long for her short legs. Darn you Amaranth, she thought to herself.

Zephyra noticed Tahi and walked over to the older girl. Smiling at her before saying, "Hello."

by **Septima Severa** Mon Oct 11, 2010 2:55 pm

Severa kept with the dance, keeping up with the steps just barely, and stumbling not just once. She even almost fell over her own feet, something that would never happen if she were in a battle. The dance of a duel seemed so much easier compared to this.

"Morpheus, thank you for your patience, but I'll never get this," she admitted. "I simply don't have the patience, and it seems so pointless!"

by Guest Mon Oct 11, 2010 3:03 pm

Meanwhile - Kal was trying desperately not to be seen. He looked like an idiot. First Tahi had - while he was bathing - removed all of his clothes from his room and locker in the bathhouse and left him with only this to wear. He looked down at the maroon and gold tunic - with a poofy undershirt. He probably could have dealt with that - but the gold tights and curl-toed shoes underneath. That was embarrassing. He wouldn't have been surprised if someone thought he fancied men. Not that he had a problem with people like that. It was just he definitely preferred women. And to top things off - there was his hair.

He placed a brown lock between his fingers and cursed inwardly. This was all AMARANTH's fault. Maybe if he could find her he could get her to tell him how to fix things. He circled the edge of the ballroom - hoping to find the siren without getting noticed by anyone else - especially not the other female mentors. Or. Oh Gods. What if Mnem saw him like this. He'd never live it down...

by Guest Mon Oct 11, 2010 3:08 pm

Morpheus sighed with a weary smile.

"Maybe if we tried a different style of dance?..."

by Guest Mon Oct 11, 2010 3:09 pm

Taking in the music, the spotlight, the scene - Tahi was ecstatic - practically walking on air. Sighing contentedly she wondered why she let Kal forget about the first ball. She was going to have words with her brother if he ever decided to show his face. But for now she would be content socializing.

Noticing Zephyra approaching her, she smiled - watching as the Nephelae struggled to navigate with her dress. "Hello." Zeph.

Tahi giggled. "Hi there! You look like you're having a fun time," she said, inclining her head at the long dress. "Don't worry - it takes a while to get used to the length. But it's soo pretty."

by **Septima Severa** Mon Oct 11, 2010 3:15 pm

Severa smiled. "I'm sorry morph, but my feet are already sore trying to copy just one dance's pace. You're a wonderful teacher though." for some reason she just couldn't be mean to Morpheus, crazy Satyr he was.

"Your talents are wasted on me, why don't you dance with someone who can?"

by Guest Mon Oct 11, 2010 3:29 pm

Zephyra smiled at Tahi. "Thanks. You look lovely too," Zeph said with a smile. She glanced to the long purple material Amaranth had used for her dress. "It's rather annoying the length of this dress with my height though."

Zephyra glanced about the room and then back to Tahi. "I really do love your dress! Its grogeous!"

by Guest Mon Oct 11, 2010 3:30 pm

Morpheus sighed again. "Well, can't say we didn't try." He took his hands off of Severa, and bowed to her.

by Guest Mon Oct 11, 2010 3:38 pm

Tahi practically glowed at the praise. This was why she loved parties! She was in her element! "Why thank you," she said, brushing her hand on the dress fondly. "I had such a difficult time picking out the colors, but in the end I think it's a fitting tribute to Auntie Mnem."

Surveying the room - she observed the ladies dresses. Everyone was so decked out - it was amazing! She spotted one particular dress she was very fond of - a beautiful white creation, with pink embellishment - and a lovely mask. The girl was awkwardly dancing with Morph - but her dress was amazing. They broke apart and Tahi's jaw nearly dropped. Severa? Her dour roommate wearing a dress. A dress that Tahi hadn't forced on her? What? Was the world ending or something?

"Zeph..." she said softly. "Is that who I think it is?" Tahi was openly staring now.

by Guest Mon Oct 11, 2010 3:40 pm

Zephyra tilted her head at Tahi and then glanced over in the direction she was looking to. There in probably the most gorgeous white dress was Severa. Looking back to Tahi with an extremely wide smile. "Yes Tahi, I do believe that would be your roommate."

by **Septima Severa** Mon Oct 11, 2010 3:41 pm

Severa struggled to curtsy in her dress, but managed an acceptable one nevertheless. "You did try, thank you for that," she smiled at him one more time before trying to make her way through the crowd, noticing that Tahi, her lovely roommate, was openly staring at her. With a devious thought she smiled pleasantly at her, knowing it was sure to throw the girl off. Doing so she couldn't help but noticing a figure trying his best to hide.

She inwardly cursed the masks and tried to think of anyone she knew with long red-brown hair, but she couldn't think of anyone! So she decided to simply address him and see if that got her anywhere.

"Trying to hide, are we?" she said, leaning against a pillar.

((She already didn't recognize Eien, what chance does she have with a hair-dyed Kal xD Also I love Tahi's reaction >.>))

by **Mnemosyne** Mon Oct 11, 2010 3:43 pm

Walking through the ballroom Mnemosyne noticed someone that looked a lot like Morph. Morph with a lot more hair... and an extra pair of horns... but Morph nevertheless.

"Morpheus?" she asked. "What on earth happened to your hair? And you're wearing clothes! You never wear clothes unless it's cold! And where is your bowtie?!"

Mnemosyne shook Morpheus lightly. "Morpheus, what in Hades' name has happened to you?!"

by Guest Mon Oct 11, 2010 3:47 pm

What the heck was going on here? First Sev was wearing a dress, and now she was SMILING at Tahi? SMILING?!? Tahi smiled back - not sure of what else to do. Something HAD to be going on here. But thankfully Sev dropped her gaze, moving over to a pillar to talk to someone else. Thank gods. Now maybe Tahi could figure out what was going on here. Or she could just get a drink of wine. Yes. A drink would be nice.

She turned back to Zeph, still slightly rattled. "Suddenly I find myself in need of a good drink. Want to join?"

by Guest Mon Oct 11, 2010 3:51 pm

((lmao))

A deep red quickly spread across the satyr's face, so much so it was visible even with the mask. "Well, uh, it's your birthday! I wanted to make it special..." He straightened his coat and said sheepishly, "Surprise?"

by Guest Mon Oct 11, 2010 3:53 pm

Oh - shit. Someone had seen him. Still keeping himself hidden in the shadows, he looked up to see - "Severa?!" He said, fairly shocked - taking in the elegantly styled hair, and voluminous white gown. "Did Tahi get you too?" He gestured disgustedly at his outfit. "I swear she's gone too far. And it's all Amaranth's bad influence..."

((Okay folks - I've got to go to class))
