Yes she wanted to check out the food table. She definitely, definitely needed to eat something. That was usually most of the reason she went to parties - free food. That and - and other things. She glanced down at Gareth. "You, really? I mean... I eat... a lot. I can just grab something and then we can... can..."

It struck the girl then that Gareth might feel awkward with dancing in a wheelchair and the girl was horrified at not having realized it sooner. She was such a terrible, selfish person. And she was too tall and he was probably just taking pity on her because she was good enough to sleep with, but she was pretty much just meant to be used. Fatima took a deep breath. She'd look ridiculous panicking here and that wouldn't help things at all.

Once again she was glad Gareth couldn't see her face. She headed over to the table with him, resisting the urge to eat all the things. "Hey look! They have brownies! Bet they're not as good as yours!" She did like his cooking. Technically she liked the taste of everything, but food made by a friend was special. And she was kind of at a loss for words. She didn't make small talk very much, was actually kinda quiet when she wasn't bouncing off the walls with coffee.

It wasn't like the things she had to say really mattered.

He had no idea if his smile could be any bigger this was so much fun, she thought that he was some kind of immortal."Well my dear although i might feel immortal tonight sadly that is not the case. You see i'm still in my teen years, quite amusing that you would think so though, its quite nice to him to be called such a thing".

He was glad he had pick this certain mask out it fit him perfectly and he was so glad that the night took such a pleasant turn. He honestly thought that it might have ended up being him sitting by the wall watching everyone else having their own fun. But his own joy and laughter had brought out the person he was dancing with, of course he didn't know this but it still fit the theme of his over all character.

The masked boy watched as she tried to keep her composure and for a moment or to she seemed to have it under control until the giggle fit. He had on hand behind his back and the other on the chin of the mask and laughed along with her laying his hands back where they were as she did the same."Nothing at all, its just some people don't think the same as you and me darling".

"i would have to agree, there is no use getting upset over something if you can't change it. Why not turn it into something positive.... I swear these days everyone argues and back talks each other so much they have no reasons for it what so ever, those are the people i dislike the most" he said with a nod. She was right from what they had talked about so far he had agreed with her on almost everything, they were pretty similar from what he could tell, he nodded."Yes i do find us to be on the same page with one another. We could be from two different worlds and it wouldn't matter because tonight everyone here, were all in little worlds of our own".

Despite not particularly liking the punch, he took another glass of it. Looking over the table at the array of buffet food, he sampled some of the smaller appetisers and turned back to Diane. "I'm not that interesting really," he said, smiling because of how vague he was being. "I'm just a student who moved here a couple of days ago." He fiddled with the ring that he wore on his right ring finger.

Noticing her looking around again, he followed her gaze. "Who's stupid?" he asked. Sneakily, he let a thin stream of blue light trail from his finger, hidden from sight. It slithered across the buffet table and brought another food that he liked the look of to his hand, casually eating it.

Diane smirked slightly as she cast her arms around his neck as he spoke, "Well, Mr. Student, it seems we do have something in common," She said as her smirk turned into a smile as she spoke, she watched quietly as the small blue light came out of his finger but ignored it once he asked her his question, "Oh... Well, police... They just seem to not understand the business I'm running doesn't play nice with certain do-gooders," She said quietly as she looked up into his eyes casting a small sigh, "You know, I would suggest going back to my bar and grabbing drinks, but then again, I doubt you being mysterious and all would want to leave your identity hidden," She said giving a small giggle to herself, "But, who knows? I mean, you play this hidden identity pretty well," She said smirking lightly up at him.

Adelyn was one of those types who couldn’t seem to be anonymous even if she tried. Even with the mask on, her bright personality shown through and she didn’t entirely understand the whole concept of pretending to be someone else with the mask on anyway. So it was pretty obvious to anyone who knew her who the girl in the sparkly navy blue dress that looked like the night sky and her silver, starry mask.

The masquerade ball was like nothing she had ever experienced before. Like she had walked into some sort of…well, she already lived in a magical world, but it was like she had walked into a different, more fancy magical world. She loved seeing all the different outfits and masks, and of course the ball featured one of her favorite things…

She grabbed her date’s hand and dragged him toward the dance floor.

“Let’s dance!” she said with a giggle.





Charlene tried to pull her hand away from Shujinko when he checked her pulse, but she was too weak. Between her empty stomach and her suddenly attempt at running, she felt so sick now.

When the man removed his mask, she felt…what was it? She didn’t have the words to fully describe it in her vocabulary. But she knew she felt safer now. She stopped trying to struggle from him. It felt…appropriate to be more cooperative with this person, which was incredibly strange for Charlene to feel toward a non-Fae. But if the feeling was there, than she would be obedient to it.

Charlene managed to sit up then, though it caused her gag reflex to act up momentarily. She likely would have thrown up at the moment, if she had anything in her stomach to throw up.

“I…am sorry for running…” she mumbled, once she could stop gagging.

The short, dark-haired man wore a black filigree mask that covered most of his face. He hoped the well-cut suit, cologne, and change in posture would be enough to fool most people. Perhaps it wouldn't fool the people who knew him best for very long, although the fact that he'd completely changed his accent might help with that. But he didn't plan on getting close enough to the ones he recognized to be caught out, at least not right away.

Of course, being relatively new to the island, he didn't recognize most of the people himself. Until they spoke. Part of picking up languages easily involved being sensitive to people's voices, after all.

The man had picked a good vantage point for people-watching while his date went to the washroom. Even though he doubted anyone would do anything interesting, and he hadn't kept his notebooks on himself, old habits died hard.

He hadn't actually seen the blue-haired rabbit-masked girl take the wine, but he had noticed it go missing, and her movements seemed familiar - he was a thief too. He watched her for a bit, contemplating, when he heard her voice.

That accent - impossible. He wandered closer to the mysterious girl and the animal-eared boy. "Pardon me. Your voice is enchanting, miss." His thick Italian accent never wavered.

The red-headed woman would've been considered tall anywhere else, and her hair probably would have stood out more, but that didn't seem to be the case here. She hadn't bothered to mask her scent, she still smelt like a dragon and vaguely of nutmeg.

She was wearing a strapless navy blue gown with a gold leaf pattern on the bodice and a matching mask that only covered her eyes. It might have made her look elegant if she wasn't clearly annoyed and constantly smoothing her skirt down.

If she could find her brothers, maybe she could stay long enough to say she was there. She hadn't even been on the island long enough for anyone else to really recognize her, but that had been just long enough to get roped into going.

Well, at least there was a buffet. And it was the time of year for candy. She stalked off to find some of those cinnamon candies, a little jealous of the children who could hide under the table and weren't expected to be lady-like.

"No, I didn't shoot her. I don't even have a gun. I apologise for the deception." Shujinkō stopped what he was doing long enough to look at Eek as he spoke, taking in the child's strange mannerisms and manner of speaking.

Seeing that the woman was unimured, but clearly famished, he stood up slowly and offered her his hand.

"Come now. There is food inside you can eat. Both of you, there's no need for you to remain out here."

Penelope Pernicious danced away from Charlie, curling her finger slowly in a come hither motion. Her lips played up in a seductive smirk, barely visible beneath her veil. She wasn't going to make this easy, Charlie was going to have to come to her.

"I want to dance, Bones. I want to see how you manage without those precious pulling tendons."

"I manage plenty" smiled Charlie, and he followed Penelope, taking the beckoning hand with his.

The orchestra finished a song, and Charlie raised one hand and signalled to the cellist, who in turn signaled the conductor. There was a short rustle of paper while the band changed songs, to the handwritten sheet music Charlie had bribed them to play. It was not his song, but it was old and Charlie felt it's words in his bones whenever he heard it. He held her in a closed position, her hand's in his as the band began to play a slow, ethereal waltz.

And Charlie began to sing:

"All who live under darkened skies,
Here now what's that bewitching tune,
Heard by all those beneath the moon,
In this hour appears to say,
Rich man, Poor man, come away,
Come and dance the macabre"


((OOC. the last two lines of the verse, and it's hopefully fore coming verses are from The Graveyard Book. Macabre is pronounced Macabray))
