Bringing People Together For Christmas

Anthony can see that Victor is nervous, and is stammering with his words. What an awkward man, he thought. But Anthony has a soft spot for those that he see as lonely people. Everyone needs friends. He also noticed that Victor did not shake his hand. Putting two and two together, he assume that Victor is not good with people. Or maybe its just him.
"Nah, its cool. No need to worry. I did fall before so you have every rights to laugh at my stupidity" Anthony said, waving his hand as if dismissing Victor's worries.
It was only after a few (awkward?) moments that he realize Victor's last sentences.
"Wait, you can sorta of bend time? That is so cool!!" Anthony exclaimed, his face smiling. He puts one hand inside of his pocket, and withdraw another glass for his new friend.
"Im sure you have heard what I can do. No need to worry, its alright. This is a party after all. Seeing as we all are new here, why dont we stick together like a couple of rogues and mavericks and enjoy ourselves" he said, as he extend the glass, now full of Coke, to Victor.

Seeing all of these people they had never met, the girls began to grow nervous. The one with the multicolored hair presented her note to the host. In it, she stated as follows.

~Please excuse my vocal silence. I am unable to speak. My name is Roxxane Nagase. Thank you for the invitation. ~

After a few moments, she skated over to an empty table and seated herself, taking care not to fall down.

The other, introduced herself with a quiet, almost whispering voice while holding a toothpick in her mouth.

"Sonja Shirayuki, nice to meet you. Thanks for inviting me."

Then she walked over to the other party goers, introducing herself again, in the same quiet voice.

Bird frowned a little at the cat person as he walked away. He knew the importance of mingling, but that had seemed a little abrupt, even for a large party, and this party didn't qualify as large yet. He felt a little snubbed until he saw Lachlan head straight for the food. The kid must've been hungry, it still seemed a little rude to Bird though.

He shrugged it off and scanned the room to see who else he could talk to. He himself had already eaten so that he could focus on the other party-goers without distraction. Peregrine knew how important it could be to make connections, and this Christmas party seemed the perfect place for that. He could expand his new social circle, and maybe make a friend or two along the way, although that was a secondary consideration.

Dot didn't really care much about simply making acquaintances. She was excited to be able to make friends for herself since she'd never been able to do that before. She wasn't able to while Bird was controlling the body though, so she just passively looked out as best as she could through his eyes. Therefore she wasn't too distracted to notice the floating mistletoe. She quietly plotted how to trick Bird under it, as she couldn't just put them under it herself.

While looking around the room, Bird noticed a trio of boys had gathered and were talking to each other. Groups were a great way to talk to a few people at once, so he wandered over to them. He wasn't sure who he should introduce himself to first, as they all appeared to be roughly the same age, but one of them did seem to be both older and more on a level with him classwise.

He held his hand out to Anthony, but would shake anyone's hand. "Good evening gentlemen. My name is Peregrine Desmarais, or Bird. What is yours? And are you also students at the Academy?"

As Anthony is talking with Victor (and Kris is there as well), a student with nice suit came and introduced himself. Anthony turned around, and quietly admired the student's sense of style, and also eccentricity, as his Christmas theme tie might have ruin the image, but one cannot argue, it is unique and leave an everlasting image.
"Why, hello there Peregrine. Or, Bird isnt it? Im Anthony, the one with the silent companion is Kris and Quasar, right? And the lovely chap with the orange shirt is Victor. Yeah, we all are new students here, I actually just got here last month. What bout you Bird?" Anthony said, his smile plaster to his face, a hand shaking Peregrine's hand.
"Fancy a drink?" Anthony asked and promptly withdrew another glass from his Infinite Space.

This was a large place, Jones thought to himself as he walked over the roof of the large mansion that humans prefered to live in. Why they did so it wasn't comprehensible for the cat. He prefered larger trees but that was so he could just get above everything. Humans were just strange with their buildings and streets. But it was how they were and they were just weird. But as he moved across the roof of the building, hopping up and down steep inclines and declines he heard a lot of the human voices.

Moving over to where he could see where all the voices coming from. It wasn't hard. They were all being really loud...and annoying. Though now that he sat there looking down upon all the pathetic humans he could smell food, Jones hadn't eaten as of yet for the day and some easy pickings sounded apatizing at the moment. So jumping from his high perch had landed on the snack table and began hunting around for something he wanted to eat. His purple and white eyes searching. Ignoring the humans aroudn him, he was just here for the food.

When his hunger was finally sated Lachlan, felt somewhat bad as he had not only ditched Bird, which was already bad but also ignored everyone else. It was simply bad etiquette and normally he wouldn't care as much for it but he wasn't here just for the sake of food, while it had been part of the reason, making friends in this new place had been at least an equal reson.

As he left the table he walked around until he eventually got eye contact, his respond was a nod and hoped to overhear a conversation that he could jump in to, this was his idea of mingling. Before, while eating he had overheard talk about powers and due to his adopting scheme, well he would rather not let anyone know that he was a cat, except for the obvious parts in this form.

Thankful that Anthony didn't take offense to not shaking his hand, Victor took the glass from him and took a small sip. Coke-cola, the strong one with lots of fizz, though it seemed to have dissipated.

It was weird to think that the glasses (maybe also the Coke?) were all from another dimension. How much energy would it take to do such a thing, he wondered.

While he sipped the drink, he listened to the conversation and gazed around the room. It was quite large, even with the giant tree in the center. And the food was everywhere. Victor couldn't even name half of the exotic cuisines here.

As he did so, he caught the golden eyes of an older boy with cat ears.
When will the strangeness end? Victor Thought.

@Jays

After observing for a while he found his way in, an in to start up a conversation with anyone from the group his stomach had lead him away from. He had meet Bird earlier in the party and this wasn't him, though an opportunity to meet someone else when one of his reasons to come included meeting people and making friends, well it was a good thing.

He walked up to the person who caught his eyes, moving his tail ever so slight in the process. "The name is Lachlan, I know I am a freak" The tone was that of someone who joked and he didn't actually think he was a freak, however it should help him avoid any awkward questions about powers while stil spark a conversation, or so he was hoping.

Sonja took Zefran's hand and shook it, as was polite to do. Then, she leaned in close, and whispered in his ear.

"I'd love to sit down and chat with you, if the opportunity presents itself. After all, I find you interesting."

Meanwhile, Roxy simply watched, in silence, as the other partygoers conversed with one another. They seemed to be exchanging greetings, and enjoying the food that was available. Finally, her hunger got the better of her, and she rose from her seat. As she meandered over to the refreshment table, she hoped that no-one would think her strange, or take advantage of her inability to engage in verbal communication. To Roxy, parties were simply a part of business.
