Kara was looking at Alain and listening him carefully, as he finished she laughed cheerfully "Are you trying to tell me all friends will end up as lovers sooner or later? Because, you know, we ARE friends" she said walking with him to the dance floor. She blushed thinking about what he may try to tell her and how she understood it. They being lovers? She quickly shrugged it off, she didn't want Alain to see her blush because he would find out about her feelings. That can't happen. She giggled slightly "So if you will fall down while dancing it means you are drunk" she added stopping on the dance floor.

Nuke chuckled taking a sip from his glass "Interesting? In my opinion my name sounds boring. On the other way your name is really nice, sound like a name for a cute girly girl" he gave her a compliment to make her liking him more "I guess you are the only one under age here, don't you think it's a little unfair that only you can't drink?" he asked trying to find out if she would like to taste wine. Then he chuckled "The best candidate to talk to? And why? Because I am handsome even with my mask?"

Miko noded with a smile "My father likes making parties but I don't like it's a masquerade bal. How can I get to know someone if I don't see their face? That's stupid. Yeah, we have few boys who likes decorating our castle" she answered and smiled cheerfully at his question "Sure, I can show you everything but... I think I should tell my dad about this because he may be worried if I will disappear from this room" she added a little worriedly looking around for his father.

"No, not all friends, but my mother is rarely this friendly to men after father died." Alain said with a light sigh. He then smirked, and nodded. "That will be one of the ways you could tell, yes." He told her, getting into the correct dance position. "Well, I hope you know how to waltz. That's what Juliet seems to be playing at the moment." He told her, wondering if being drunk would be a good facade for getting her to trust him more. She had never seen him when he was drunk, she wouldn't know. He needed her trust, so he could easily deceive her.

"Well, it is interesting. All we have around here is a lot of oriental names, mainly Japanese." Anya paused, thinking about it. "Actually, the only oriental names are Japanese here..." She mused, sighing lightly. "But anyway! It's good you think my name fits, 'cause I am kind of a girly girl. I love dressing up. But, I also like shooting, running around outside, wrassling with the older boys in the summer... Stuff like that." She said, then shook her head. "Nah, it's fine. It'll make my sixteenth birthday all the more special if it's the first time I've drank alcohol." She added with a smile. When he wondered why she came over, and made a very accurate guess while he was at it, she nodded. "Yep!" She exclaimed, smiling once again.
~~~~~
"Ah, yes, there is that problem." Voltaire agreed. "While you're giving me the tour, how about we take the masks off for a bit? I don't believe I've ever actually seen your face on my previous visits, other than when you were much smaller. I knew you were his daughter due to the simple fact of how you held yourself. It's so very much like him." He told her, looking around the room. "I know I saw the old codger walking around, being a chaperone. I feel bad for anyone who gets caught by him, he can get pretty scary."

Asagi

'That would be Kouji.' Asagi said with a grin 'He's somewhat silly and could be a good target if you're seeking someone for pleasure in allk inds of forms. He's a nice guy, though, only Tetsu once told me he's had a lab accident and now there's something a little wrong in his head.' He shrugged 'Anyway, have fun. I'm goign to see if someone else wants to talk to me.' He then walked to a boy (Mike, if he's still open) and placed a hand on his shoulder as he had approached him from behind saying, 'hello, there, how are you doing tonight?'

Daisuke

'You're right.' Daisuke said 'Let's gather people and do a snow fight later, after we've got permission from Tetsu.' He sighed and added 'I wonder why it is that everyone always wants to ask Tetsu instead of any other clanhead...' He looked up at the stars and searched for shapes that he recognized, something he used to do a long time ago, only htne he was searching for people. People that were killed. He shook the thoughts away just before a tear could slip out of his eye.

Masashi

'You aren't boring.' Masashi said 'Not at all. Just tell me about what you like to do. You must have any hobbies, I mean... Do you like music? DO you play an instrument or...' He then noticed that Alain and Kara had been looking at them for a while now and said 'I think Alain has something against me dancing with you.'

(Miss Invisible has not yet posted, so Kyo can't do anything XD)

(Tetsu and Yu~ki are standing somewhere in the main room, Gackt is on a balcony, Taiji is watching Nuke and Miko, Kamijo is still with Hizaki...)

[Queen of Spades]

Francesca nodded to him, finding the description of the person very... Interesting. "Ah, yes, good evening sir." She said to Asagi as he left. She glanced around, then started over towards the redhead in question. "Good evening." She greeted with a kind smile. "Quite a nice party, isn't it? I'm Francesca D, though some people just call me Fran." She said, holding her hand out. "From Asagi's description, you're Kouji, right? You sounded pretty interesting to me, so I thought I'd come over and talk. If of course that's alright with you and you're not busy."
~~~~~
"Alright. That sounds... Fun." Yvette said, then shrugged. "I don't know. I simply ask him permission because he was the one who issued my creation. So, he's somewhat of a father to me. A somewhat harsh father, but a father." She said, then sighed, untying the string to her mask. "I'm tired of wearing this thing. I'm taking it off for now." She stated, putting it on her lap. She looked up at him, and cocked her head to the side. "Why are your eyes watering? You're not crying, are you?" She questioned, turning slightly to face him more.
~~~~~
"Well..." Lucine started. "I rather like reading. If I'm lucky enough to find a book in Braille, I enjoy feeling on what it has to say. And I did play the flute, but I'm likely a bit rusty now." She said, then sighed. "There isn't much I do with my sorry life. I used to go everywhere with Seifried, so I never thought of things to do by myself." She added, then shook her head. "Just ignore him. He's probably still a little miffed at his argument with you, they last a while. It won't be anything serious, he'll get over it. Maybe if he gets together with Kara, he'll be like me. Too busy with love to do anything else."

[Yomi Aino]

(I'm going to stop with putting the names above my posts... It's not really neccesairy.)

Kouji looked up, surprised 'Ah, hi,' he said 'Fransesca is a nice name. So Asagi told you about me? Okay, I wonder what he told you... Anyway, I'm not busy, so I'm glad you started talking to me. I don't really have to introduce me anymore, so yeah... Er... Yeah, the party is great, the atmosphere too.'
-----

Masashi just nodded at Lunice's words, then answered'Lucy, I could go walking with you as well. If you want to go do something fun, just tell me. I could also read you some stuff or find books for you, I mean, I'm still supposed to be the 'father', even for a clanhead... And I really... Like you a lot.'
-----
Daisuke sighed and said 'Well, almost, I am. I recalled some memories about, well, friends, I guess... And... I've lost contact with them since I, well... I choose to take a different path and went away in secret...'

[Hideś]

"Maybe she just likes him? She should have friends and someone she can talk to" Kara replied to Alain words and giggled "I will be carefull then and sure, I know how to waltz. Other way I wouldn't ask you for dance with me. Juliet is awesome with playing" she said getting into correct dance position with Alain "I guess in waltz men should lead, right? Just don't drink more for some time" she giggled again as it would be really funny seing him drunk. Of course she didn't want to see it so much because getting drunk wasn't too healthy.

Nuke chuckled slightly "Well, same with our clan. The clanhead is Asagi, his servant is Hayumi. Then there's Sono, Sayumi and ofcourse few not oriental names like Frnacesca or Adrian" he explained to younger girl and smiled "Interesting, really. Girly girl and kinda tomboy at the same time. I never met someone like you" he said softly and took a sip of wine, he looked at the glass and smirked "Well, it's nothing really awesome the wine. But every alcohol have different taste so you will have a big choice when you will be finally able to drink it" he said and looked at Anya "I see you really have a great mood. Wanna dance?"

Miko was looking around for her father, hearing Voltaire told something about taking off masks she looked back at him "Do you think we can? If someone will see we took off our masks we may get scolded and I don't want it" she giggled, she didn't remember what kind of kid she was but what he said sounds kinda funny "Really, I am not some awesomly beautifull girl. I am not even too girly, I don't have any idea about dressing up, makeup and other girl stuff"

Mike was so bored he almost started daydreaming with half empty glass of wine in one hand and the other one in his pocket. As he felt hand on his arm he jumped up and quickly turned around, he tilted his head not knowing who the men was "Oh, I am sorry. I just suddenly turned off and you scared me" he said and chuckled drinking all wine from his glass and putting glass on the table "The party is great and I like it's a masquearade ball, I don't know who I am talking with. Andwhat do you think about our party?" he asked curiously.

[Queen of Spades]

"He just told me you were outgoing, silly, and a bit flirty. I like people like that." Francesca said with a smile. "He also told me you worked in a lab, so I assume that you're a bit of a scientist. Never got into science all that much. I'm just a maid, and Master Voltaire doesn't want me to stray too far off that path." She added, looking over at her master, who was talking to a girl she didn't know. She partially wondered if he'd try to seduce this one as well. More than likely.
~~~~~
"Alright, if you want to come with me on my morning walks, that would be wonderful. Finding books in Braille would be nice... Though I'd rather read by myself than have someone read to me." Lucine told him, then smiled. "I like you too. I think you are a very nice person, and you're a fine man. I just wish I could tell what you looked like. Hopefully that will change, though if the Marisu clan can heal blindness."
~~~~~
"Oh. Old friends... That must've been hard to leave them. I couldn't imagine leaving everyone here." Yvette muttered. "You guys are lucky, you know? You have memories of your past of different things, sometimes different places. Even if the past of someone is horrible, I still wish I could have had something like that. My only memories are inside these walls. I've never been outside." She said, then sighed. "The best thing I get are pictures in books. Even when I was first made, I was made as a little girl around seven years old, kept in the lab for about a year for teaching me how to speak and do other normal things, then I was brought up, the label put on me was Kouji's sister, and I was off on my merry way for training." She said, then looked over at him. "So, these friends, where did you meet them? Or is that private?"
~~~~~
"Eh... I still think it'll escalate into something more." Alain said, then nodded to her. "Touché." He stated simply to the fact that she wouldn't be asking to dance if she didn't know how. "Yes, she does play well. However, she's just a bit too shy. If she could realize not everyone is out to get her, she'd be a much easier person to approach." He said as he started to lead. "Oh don't worry, that's my last until an hour passes or a toast comes up." He said to her, wondering what would be the best time to initiate his plan. Most likely within the next fifteen minutes, as the alcohol would have made it through his body by then.
~~~~~
"Yeah, we have tons of 'em. Kouji, Tetsu, Masashi, Miko, Yuki, just to name a few. Thank goodness for the small variety of the others. Oliver, Lucine, David, Mike, Kara, Alain..." She trailed off, then nodded. "Indeed, as I always say, "Two in one for double the fun!" It's better to keep options open." She said, shrugging. "My parents would often drink vodka, not to be stereotypical, because they were Russian, as am I. I'm not too excited to drink, I just think that once I can, then I won't feel so left out of the loop." She added. When he asked if she wanted to dance, she grinned slightly. "Sure! That's what the party's for, after all."
~~~~~
"If we get in trouble, blame me. I was the one who suggested it. I don't mind, really. My maid already scolds me on a day to day basis for doing or not doing something." Voltaire told her, then smiled. "I doubt that. I mean, you won't be any perfect goddess, considering no one in the world is perfect, but I think you'd be cute." He said, looking around the room again. "That doesn't matter, I don't mind girls being a little tomboy, I find that quite attractive."

[Yomi Aino]

Daisuke sighed and said 'Well, sometimes I wish I didn't have memories, but I guess that's because I regret a lot of things that I have done in the past... Anyway, you want to go outside, you said? I could take you. Lately I've found the possible adress of one of those... comrades of mine. Maybe I can take you with me then. Would you like that? Oh, I met them... I rather not tell, you'll find out soon enough.'

Masashi nodded and said 'Okay, I'll do that. And thank you, for liking me, I mean... I do hope that soon you will be able to see me, though, I'm not sure if you'll like my appearence... Ah well, it can't be helped.' He made Lucine do a piroutte and miled softly, even though she couldn't see it

Asagi grinned and said 'The party is okay, but I don't really like parties, as I get bored pretty quickly. I am Asagi, by the way, the clanhead of D, just for the imformation. And now you know ot whom you are talking, so... Anyway, do you know a nice game or so to play here?'

'I am a scientist, yes.' Kouji said 'But rather a test subject, as Gackt loves to strap me up in that chair of his and test all kind of dark stuff on me. I'm a maid in the lab, I guess.' He laughed a little, then added 'By the way, you look cute.'

Kara giggled slightly "You are very stubborn, this part of your personality didn't change at all" she said remembering he was always stubborn. She looked at Juliet when Alain told about her "You think she is shy? Maybe, I didn't talk with her too much. I am mostly talking with Daisuke or Shinya, sometimes others. Maybe she will understand if someone nice will talk with her about it" it was her opinion about the situation. She noded at his explanation about wine "I hope so, I don't want to drag you to your room when you would pass away" she joked as they started dancing.

Nuke listened Anya not really caring about what names were in their clans, he just had to pretend it was interesting conversation for him. He chuckled and looked at Anya "Well, I guess you may be right. You have a big choice of what to do so you are never het bored" he said a soft smile. Then he heard something that really took his interest which he didn't expect for today "Russian, really? That's very interesting. I heard Russian and Polish people drink a lot and their vodka is the best" he said. As she agreed on dance he drank the rest of his wine and put empty glass on the table "Dancing and drinking if you are an adult" he added and took her hands to get the right position.

Miko shook her head "I can't put the whole blame on you, all in all I would agree so it will be my fault too. But I think breaking rules from time to time isn't that bad" she said and giggled. Then she shook her head "I am not tomboy, I am wearing skirts, dresses and other stuff. I just don't know too much about looking pretty but I hope Anya will teach me everything" she looked around and finally saw her father "Will you go with me to my dad or do you want to wait here for me?" she asked him.

Hearing Mike was talking with clanhead he bowed slightly "Well then, nice to meet you. I am Mike from Nightmare clan and I am not anyone important" he explained his status and chuckled slightly "You can always play hide and seek in our big castle, it's the best game to play here. We have many empty rooms not using by anyone. Or you may ask Daisuke for shooting lesson or competition if you are good in shooting.""
