Masquerade Ball: Event Thread

[Pallas]

Nyota listened to the boy in the dragon mask, her attention is diverted away from the girl in the starry dress and found herself more drawn onto him as he spoke. After, he did bring up some good points, not being normal was now the new normal. She could dig that.

"Hrmm... I guess your onto something there nerd. I guess the one thing we all have in common here is that none of us are quite so... normal. Like you with your fancy mind powers or me coming up one arm short of a full pair."

Nyota turned on her heel to face the red-eyed boy in the dragon mask, smirking playfully as she flaps her stunted left arm like a chicken wing. Its nice that she could joke about such an obvious defect so causally now. At this point, having one arm was part of her life that she had to come to terms with. Of course there were many other things that were not considered normal about her but... the missing arm she felt was the one most people tend to notice first. She wasn't sure why that was... maybe people are hardwired to notice what you don't have before recognizing what you have.

He smiled at her, his red eyes shining in the light, "well, one arm or not, you have beautiful eyes. I've never seen ones like them before," it was true, he'd never seen eyes like them before her, "there like stars shining bright."

He looked to the crowd of dancer and the back to the girl, "this place seems amazing, so much to see and do. I mean where else do you get to have class with werewolves and vampires?," he laughed a but.

He smiled again and offered her his hand, "we are at a party, so would you like to dance?"

"Hey now... don't stare at them for too long... you might go blind."

Nyota chuckled somewhat, a bit of sucker for compliments even if they were no more than sweet nothings. She silently agreed that her own eyes were quite unique though she herself if uncertain if she could blind people if they looked into her eyes for too long. She is well aware that looking into her eyes akin to staring directly into a pair of flashlights.

"I guess you got me there... " conceded Nyota " ...can't think of anywhere else aside from a corny teen drama."

Nyota vacantly looked down at the offered hand for what felt like a longer time than what actually passed. She was NEVER offered a hand dance before... at least no so willingly. She was also clueless when it comes to the intricacies involved in dance as her only prior experience was for a square dancing routine she had to do with her classmates.

"Oh... ummm... err... I... I can't dance. You should should ask someone else... I'll... just break your toes or something." responded Nyota who sounded a bit flustered.

He smiled, "hey I'm no expert either, I'm just here to have fun." He stepped a bit closer and looked into her eyes, "come on, its a party, it's not too hard, and I'll guide you if you want."

He gentley too her hand, his eyes never leaving hers, "besides, getting my toes stepped on by a pretty girl isn't the worst things that could happen." He smiled, "one dance. Lets have some fun."

Was it her or... did things suddenly get hot between them? Nyota looked up the the red eye boy as if she were a dumb animal. She could hear clearly what he just said but somehow her mind was still process it all. She had been called many things but... the only other people who ever called her pretty was her own two mothers. It... was stupid but it felt so nice to being called the pretty one for once. Maybe he was wanted to butter her up was all but it worked. Now was the time she should say something.

"Bhuuu... ah yee bralgh... ha... ha ha ha... haaaa..."

Her mind screamed to use words. ANY WORDS! The cute boy just offered to dance with her despite being her being a cock-up so she damn better say something!

"Haaa yeeah! Yeah... there is like... at least ten... eleven... MANY! Many things worse than broken toes... like... dying... I guess. Haa... ha ha... hee... ermm... yeah."

Nyota laughed nervously and just... stood there looking at him expectantly. She then set her glass of empty punch down by the table once she realized she was still holding it. Once the glass was out of her hand, she offered it to boy in the Dragon Mask and the black tux.

"J-just... take my hand before I say something dorky." groaned the sunshine-eyed girl as her cheeks glowed slightly more red.

One dance she though... she could handle that, hopefully. It will... just like that one episode of Star Trek where Kirk and Spock were forced to dance together due to the Platonians using their telekinesis to force them to dance. Err... okey so maybe not exactly like that one episode.

He took her hand, his smile never left his face as he lead her to the dance floor, he placed her hand on his shoulder and guided her in the motions. "See, it's not hard, but it can be fun if you have a good partner and I luckily found one."

He continued to lead her through the dance, if she ever stepped on his toes he didn't seem to notice, "dancing can be a lot if fun. I enjoy it once in a while, and having a lovely girl to practice with makes it worth it."

@Dragon Mask with Black Tux

Was he being sincere or did he try to not make her feel bad? Nyota felt clumsy with her footsteps and had it not been for her masked benefactor guiding her movements like a marionette she probably would have somehow tripped over her own two feet. For the most part, Nyota was too busy watching her own two feet than she was looking at her dance partner and was only half listening to him as most of her attention was devoted to carefully watching every step she made in order to prevent a foot mishap.

"Huh? Errr... yeah. Yeah. Its... different. But... its kinda nice too..."

Nyota's voice trailed off as she continued to dance with the masked boy with red eyes, she continued to look down at her feet at to avoid stomping on the boy's shoes. While the dancing was certainly an experience for her, it was the fact that she was dancing with a cute boy that was really making her enjoy the dancing. She would probably enjoy it more if she wasn't so focused on her feet though.

His smile never left his face, without losing a beat he gently took her chin and lifted it so he could look into her eyes, "it's ok, I promise you wont fall." He focused a bit using his telekinesis to aid her and they danced, it would keep her balanced so she wouldn't have to watch her feet, "hope you don't mind, this way we can talk."

He continued to guide her in their dance, he was genuinely enjoying himself and he had meant all the compliments he'd given her. "Your not as bad as you claimed, your doing quite well, better than I did when I first danced."

He smiled again, "I actually just got here, got off the boat this morning, I was a bit nervous arriving, wasn't sure what the island would be like. But so far things are turning out great, the school looks amazing and I found a beautiful girl willing to dance with a dork like me."

He smiled throughout the dance, not minding if she did step on his toes, as the song ended he brought their dance to an end, "there that wasn't so bad now was it?"

He stepped back, "thank you." He gave her a kind smile, "don't be so nervous, it's all for fun, nothing to worry about." He gave her another nod, "good night," with the he retreated into the crowd, disappearing in all of the people.

With the ending of the song he brought brought their dance to an end, "thank you, all this is new to me." He smiled, but out of the corner of his eye he saw someone familiar, "I think I see a friend, so please excuse me."

@Simple black mask & Horned mask

He smiled brightly as he saw Nyota, the one person he knew on the island, he approached her ignoring the Shadow's continuous mental rants, "you look beautiful Nyota," and he meant it, he thought she looked gorgeous.

He really did enjoy being around her, "I'm not used to these sort of things, but it's been fun so far." He held out his hand, "would you like to dance? I wanted to talk to you a bit."
