Insidiae

Dae had heard the girl approach, but he hadn't registered she was talking to him. He saw her when he looked up from his sketch for another look at the reference, but had assumed, or at least hoped, she was talking to someone else. When he looked up again she was still standing there, offering a drink. He looked around but saw no one else should be talking to. Dae then realized that she had been talking to him and he felt somewhat irritated with himself for being foolish enough to assume it had been someone else. Of course she'd talk to me. Who doesn't want to talk to me. I am, after all, high intelligent and very intriguing. Dae briefly apologized for being rude and explained that he had thought she was talking to someone else. He put his pen in the binding and tucked the notepad in his pocket again and accepted the drink. He gave a small smile, which he had read was considered friendly, and replied, "Nice to meet you, Veronica. My name is Insidiae. You can call me Dae, though. I've been told it suits me better."

Even though Ari was a bit sad someone could've kept chatting with him but instead left for someone else, he could understand why. After all, she already knew this other plumie very well, and she just met him. He wasn't that sad though, since he wanted to talk to that familiar plumie he thought he saw. He moved towards the beverages. Getting a closer look, it was obvious who was under the mask. "Koda! I didn't know you were coming!" He smiled, happy to see his good friend he met on vacation. "Beautiful party, isn't it? You look good too!" He compliment as he poured himself a glass of fruit punch and took a sip.

Dakota perked up her ears at the familiar voice, "Ari!" Thank god that she had a mask on, because his kind comment cause a light blush to spread across her cheeks, "I- uh- I didn't know you were going to be here too, what a coincidence. I mean, kind of. Well, not really-" she stopped her normal banter and looked him up and down, "You look quite dashing yourself," then she looked around at the plumerians dancing, the decor, and just the set up in general, "Callie sure did an amazing job, that is for sure." Koda searched her mind for a topic of normal conversation, but when nothing came to mind she simply went with, "How are you liking the dance so far?"

[bellidan4234]

"Thanks for the compliment! But you didn't have to. This suit is just rented, and I don't care much for fancy clothes..." He tried to hide the fact that he was indeed happy for the compliment, it made him feel good coming from her. He really didn't want to draw to much attention to appearance though. "Well, you get the idea. The dance so far has been nice, I just met someone new a few minutes ago! And the buffet is really tasty. But the dance just started, so that's all I know. It's nice to see a familiar face though! Even though I can only see half of it." He smiled and took another sip of his drink.

[Insaniity]

Dakota couldn't help but giggle a little, "You're right, sorry. Glad to hear you made a friend though! I've managed to talk to zero plumerians, besides you, of course, and pour myself a glass of punch. So, you've been fairly productive. It's good to see you though! I am happy you could make it." Koda took a final sip of her punch then set the glass down, "Would you care for a dance?"

[bellidan4234]

"Don't worry, the night is just getting started. You'll find other plumerians to talk to!" He reassured. "Besides, I can understand why you haven't talked to anyone yet. This punch is too good to resist!" He laughed at his joke. When Dakota asked him to dance, he didn't know what to say. He was torn in half between dancing with her and not. "Um.." He stammered. He tried listening to the music, and it seemed like a fast song. "Sure, I guess," He decided. "Like friends, right?" He hoped, as he wasn't sure if he liked her more than a friend. He knew her pretty well by now, as they had spent some time together during the summer, but he still had mixed feelings. He figured it was because he thought too much on it, rather than letting his love life go where it will. However, he couldn't stop thinking about her and what he thought of her. He knew that the ball would settle it though, and that's the other reason he came. He wanted to find out if she really meant anything to him more than a friend. He knew he had to loosen up first, though. He tried breathing slowly, and it seemed to clear his thoughts.

Veronica

"Who else would I be talking to?" she responded dryly, not trying to be rude. There wasn't anyone else close to him as everyone else was absorbed in their own thoughts or conversations. Veronica politely handed him the drink, taking a sip of her own. Her faced scrunched up a bit at the overpowering sweetness of it, she was hoping it would be a bit more tart. She observed Dae for a moment, but couldn't really gather much about him. After all, he was finely dressed and wearing a mask. The only thing different about him that she had noticed was his notepad, a rather odd item to bring to a party. "What were you sketching?" she asked him, staring out at the dance floor.

Monty;

With a small, slightly annoyed sigh, Monty scanned around the room searching for a place to seek refuge from all the madness, a place where he could hide out until it was all done. He cursed at himself from under his breath, he knew that showing up would be a waste of time, not to mention it was loud and the plumerian always seemed to have a dark cloud over his head anyway. After a few seconds of surveying the room, he found what appeared to be a nice quiet corner with a chair where he could wait it out until Prosper was ready to leave. He was, after all, his escort and he didn't have enough indecency to leave the 'punny' plumerian alone. He scoffed at the apologies of a couple dancing that almost ran into him and didn't acknowledge them anymore than he would acknowledge a fly that he swatted away. After a few more seconds of navigating between couples, he found his way to the seat and sat down, busying himself on his phone until the night was over.

Alani linked arms with Latte. "Lets go in the hallway then!'' She made sure no one was looking at them and she took him to the hall. Ready... 1... 2... 3...! She took off her mask seeing his facial expression.

[nyacinth]

Latte let himself be led into the hall, glancing over his shoulder every now and again. When Alani took off her mask, his eyes widened and his hand flew up to his mouth. "A... Alani?" He didn't quite know what he was feeling; Everything was all mixed, but he was definitely surprised. Snapping out of his trance, he shakily reached up to take off his mask, revealing himself. Though, he had a feeling she knew who he was regardless.
