Tomo didn't really care about her actions, as long as she more or less looked fancy and like she belonged in this setting. But even with all the fancy clothes it probably didn't look proper to be gorging on some shrimps. But Tadashi was following in suit, so seriously, who cared?
"I'm in Mystique, I can at least dance some boring ballroom dances. But if you'd prefer breakdance I'm up to it."
Tomo said after swallowing, and tried to discreetly use her sharp nails to dig a piece of shrimp from between her teeth.

_______________________________________________________________________________________​

Arrive at the party 30 minutes after the assigned starting time, dressed accordingly in formal burgundy pantsuit that adorned curves but didn't over-define them, greet the hostess, greet people of importance, greet back anyone who greets you even if you do not know them. All the points in Roselyn's initial plan were almost fulfilled. She had greeted Natasha Lockwood, had gone around greeting anyone else she recognized as important or useful, and nodded and waved occasionally as someone greeted her. Appear graceful, appear composed, appear like you belong. Perfect.

Next on the line were the Del Bosques, that Roselyn had heard were attending. Of course they were, they were a big benefactor for this new association and acquaintances to Natasha Lockwood. Zoralda Del Bosque and Natasha Lockwood were friends, or so Roselyn had heard, and she also knew many other facts about the two and their lives. Enough to have an advantage in case there was an incident.

Roselyn could already hear many people in this ball talking about her, and she blocked the voices from entering her head. She scanned the crowd, and could see Zoralda Del Bosque along with her grandfather Rafael Del Bosque. The two were just going their separate ways. Zoralda was Roselyn's main objective at the moment, and thus she followed after the woman, keeping her steps even and not hurried. And just as the woman arrived to the table with the drinks Roselyn caught up.
"Good evening, Ms. Del Bosque."
Roselyn greeted, and pretended that she had merely come for drinks too and took a glass in hand. Don't appear too eager, be nonchalant but not too much so you do not appear disinterested.
"This is a very lovely event, Ms. Lockwood outdid herself."

She'd slip into the ball, wearing her dress, it'd taken a considerable amount of time for her and Raf to find a dess they'd both agreed to. She'd even kept the dress secret from her siblings so as to surprise them.

The teenage cat shifter would glance around, her cat ears twitching slightly, she hadn't been to anything quite like this before. She'd move towards the other guests nodding and waving as she tried to spot people she recognized.

Tadashi at least knew better than to try to pick at his teeth like that, though he also hadn't gotten any of the shrimp stuck so it was moot.

He took a spare toothpick and small cocktail napkin from the waiter and passed them over to Tomo. "Tomo...," he hissed. "I think he's watching us." Tadashi had just noticed Rafael walking around in the ballroom and didnt want to make a bad impression. To that end he swallowed his last shrimp and stepped away from the server.

Almost at the same time his attention was caught by his other sister's dress. Not the color obviously but the fact she was in a nice fancy dress in general. "Tomo loook... "

"Whaaaat? I was being all sneaky about it."
Tomo hissed back when Tadashi gave her a napkin and some toothpicks. She took them, of course, and pretended to dap the corners of her mouth all fancy like while glancing towards Rafael. And holding back laughter, of course. The toothpicks she saved for a later date in case she got her hands on some chicken.

Tomo indeed turned to look, and saw Shiro and her dress. It was weird to saw her outside goth style clothes, but suppose it was refreshing. Tomo grinned and waved her hand towards Shiro, trying to send triplet vibes towards her sister to try and make her look their way.

She'd notice the waving, returning the wave and approaching them. Her cheeks actually flushing a bit, being slightly embarrassed about being in such a fancy dress.

"Hey guys," she'd say with a smile, "liking the ball?" She'd glance around, still not sure if she liked such formal events, her type of parties were louder, more wild. "Seems nice....little formal though."

She'd glance down at her dress. "So, do I look ok?" she'd chuckle a bit, "most of the dress options looked like they'd smother me."

Tadashi laughed at Tomo's overdramatic dabbing with the napkin and then smiled as Shiro joined them. He wasnt sure what he had expected her to show up in but... it was a really pretty dark grey.

"We just got here but the foods good. Tomo promised to dance too," he answered cheerfully as he looked over the dress. "You look pretty Shiro. Like you belong at something like this."

"It only feels formal if you let it get into your head."
Tomo answered Shiro with a shrug and a small grin. She wrapped an arm loosely around Shiro's shoulders as well, making sure she didn't mess up whatever Shiro had done with her hair.
"You look great. But you know what would look even greater on you?"
Tomo smirked a bit, and pointed briefly at a lady nearby with a ridiculously poofy pink dress that basically had its own orbit.

"Well, aren't we all fancy?"
Tomo said with a small clap of her hands as the three were finally gathered. Even with all her modifications Shiro still looked liked Tomo and Tadashi's sister, and there was a kind of harmony with two white haired tuxedos and one dark haired dress.
"We should try that thing where we all three dance together awkwardly in a circle."

"Yeah no," she'd say with a snort, "that dress looks like it'd smother me." She'd look over at the lady before looking back to her siblings, "she does look good in that dress though."

She'd chuckle. "Nah, I'm sorta afraid to dance in this dress," she'd glance down it it, "it's a bit longer than what I'm used to, might trip if we tried a group dance." Her cat ears twitched a bit as she talked.

"Anyone else our age around? Or are we the only kids who showed up?" She'd glance around curiously.

Not looking for anyone in particular, Maarab's eye was caught by a young man who appeared to be enjoying the music alone. Although the stranger didn't exactly stand out, he was around Maarab's own height, maybe taller, and kind of pretty. Plus, even though Maarab didn't know fashion, he noticed that this young man's outfit was more plain than most of the others. It made him curious.

He walked softly over to the stranger, clearing his throat when he got close, just to make his presence known. "Hello there, stranger. Are you waiting for someone or do you normally dance by yourself?" Then he laughed softly, meaning no offense.

"My name is Maarab Tselel. But I think I have not been on this island long enough for that to mean anything to most people. I have not seen you before either. What brings you here? The music? The vampires?" He grinned, glad for the chance to socialize in a more organized setting.

"Father," Celeste cried out happily when she saw the older man standing to one side drinking what she assumed was champagne. He had come, and after a quick glance around the room, she spotted some familiar faces. Shiro - looking amazing in her dress - and Tomo and Tadashi.

She had not been quite sure whether her father would actually venture out tonight and take the triplets with him, but he had and she was proud of him for it.

Taking a juice of some sort of the tray, she kissed his cheek in greeting. "I see you came," she said smiling. "And you brought Shiro, Tomo and Tadashi," she added.

"Pray tell," Rafael said as he looked at his daughter like she was daft, "Why is that such a surprise to everyone? Of course, I'd bring them along. They are family," he stated simply.

"And speaking of which? Where are yours?" Rafael asked keenly as he looked at Celeste raising an eyebrow.
